Blue Salon

If you are driving down Karve Nagar Road, you will see us right across from Bhilare Chawl. We have been in this spot in Hingne Budrukh for several years now. It is a lively part of Pune, and there is always a lot of foot traffic outside our door. The salon is a simple place with blue accents here and there, though the paint is starting to chip a little near the floor. We have a couple of chairs and big mirrors that we try to keep clean, but it is hard with all the products we use. Most of our customers are women from the nearby apartments who come in for a quick hair wash or to get their eyebrows done. We hear a lot of gossip and stories about what is happening in the neighborhood. It is a nice way to spend the day, even if my feet hurt from standing for so long. We do not use any high-end equipment, just the stuff that works. Sometimes the water heater takes a minute to warm up, so we have to ask people to wait a bit. We are not trying to be like those expensive places in the malls. We just want to give people a place where they can come and get their hair sorted out without spending too much. It gets very busy on Sunday mornings, so the shop is usually full of chatter and the sound of hair dryers.
