Star Hair Mens Saloon

Star Hair Mens Saloon is located on Morabadi Road, right by the Karam Toli Chowk in Ranchi. This intersection is always busy, so there’s a lot of energy just outside our doorstep. You can hear the vegetable sellers and the rickshaws all day long. The shop itself is a modest place. We have some old posters on the walls that have been there for years, showing different hairstyles that nobody really asks for anymore. Most men just come in and ask for the same short cut they’ve had since they were kids. We have a couple of ceiling fans that squeak a little bit, but they keep the air moving. Karam Toli Chowk is a landmark, so people use our shop as a meeting point sometimes. They’ll stand outside under the shade and talk for a while before coming in. The chairs are covered in a red vinyl that’s cracked in a few places, but they are sturdy. We spend a lot of time cleaning the combs in blue liquid and making sure the razors are fresh. It’s a typical men’s saloon where the conversation is usually about the weather or the price of things at the market. We don't have a website or anything like that, just the sign above the door. People know we are here if they need us, and that’s enough for us. We just keep the scissors moving.
