Naushad Hair Saloon

Naushad Hair Saloon is right on Sadar Road in Nagpur. We are at Shop No 6 in the Mangalwari Complex. It’s a very busy area with lots of shops and people moving around all day long. I’ve been here in Sadar Bazar for a long time. The saloon is just a basic place with no extras. I have some old-fashioned barber chairs and a big mirror that covers the whole wall. We do haircuts and shaves for anyone who walks in. It’s a noisy street outside, but we have the radio playing inside to drown out the traffic. The shop isn't very big, so it can get crowded on Saturdays when everyone is off work. People stand outside and wait sometimes. I don't mind the crowd. I like the bustle of the market life. My tools are simple, but I keep them sharp and ready. I learned this trade from my father back home. We don't have a computer or anything to take bookings. You just come in and wait your turn on the bench. Most of my customers are regulars who work in the complex or live nearby. It’s a practical shop for practical people. We don't use expensive products, just the usual stuff that works. The floor gets covered in hair quickly, so I’m always sweeping between jobs. It’s a lot of work, but it keeps me busy. We are just a local saloon.
