Kamee Hair Cut & Saloon

Kamee Hair Cut & Saloon is over at 21 New Heaven Enclave in the Pani Gate area of Vadodara. We are quite close to the Harish Petrol Pump, which is where most people give directions from. The shop is part of a residential and commercial enclave, so it has a very local feel to it. It’s the kind of place where you see the same faces every week. Inside, the shop is kept tidy. We have the usual barber chairs and a couple of stations for hair washing. The mirrors are large and cover most of one wall. We have a small cupboard where we keep the towels and the different types of oils and creams we use. The floor is a simple grey tile that we sweep constantly because there’s always hair falling. We open up the shutters every morning and start by cleaning the glass. It’s a basic salon, nothing too fancy or modern. We focus on haircuts and shaves for the men in the neighborhood. Sometimes a few kids come in with their fathers. There’s a ceiling fan that wobbles a little bit, but it keeps the place cool enough. We don't have a big marketing plan; we just wait for people to walk in or call us. The neighbors around here are friendly, and we often talk to the people from the other shops in the enclave during the quiet hours in the afternoon when business is slow.
