Sainath Hair Salon

Sainath Hair Salon is sitting at 7 Vikram Nagar on the Bombay Market Road. Being so close to Bombay Market means there is never a quiet moment. There are always trucks unloading and people walking by with bags. Our shop is a small unit, but we make it work. Every morning starts with a cup of tea while we wait for the first customer to arrive. The Bombay Market area is one of those places where you see everything. We have been here at this spot for quite a while now. The address is easy to remember because we are right near the market entrance. The mirrors in here have seen a lot of faces over the years. We keep the fans running at full speed because the heat can be really something in the afternoons. Sometimes the shop feels a bit cramped when too many people are waiting, but nobody seems to mind much. They just lean against the wall or chat with whoever is in the chair. It is a very local kind of place. We don't spend much time on fancy decorations or anything like that. We just focus on the hair and the shaves. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until late at night. When the market finally starts to quiet down, we sweep up one last time and head out. We come back tomorrow and do it all again, just like every other day here.
