Jadhav Salon

Our little place, Jadhav Salon, sits right on Shalimar Road. If you know the area, we are just behind Nehru Garden. It is a nice spot because of all the trees there. Usually, people come in after taking a walk or finishing their work nearby. The shop isn't very big, but we keep it tidy. Nashik is changing a lot, but this part of Shalimar feels the same as it always did. We have been here for a long time. You can see the garden gate from our front door. Sometimes the traffic on the main road gets a bit loud, especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home. We just keep the fans running and stay busy with whoever walks in. It’s mostly locals who live around here. We know most of their names by now. It’s funny how you get used to the rhythm of the street. Some days are very quiet, and other days everyone decides to come at the exact same time. We don't have fancy decorations or anything like that. Just some chairs, good mirrors, and our tools. My father started things around here and I just kept it going. There’s no big story to it. We just open up early, sweep the floor, and wait for the first person to show up. It’s a good life, being right here in the heart of Shalimar. Nashik 422001 is where we belong and we don't plan on moving anywhere else soon.
