New Nilam Hair Art

Our shop is located in the Amardeep Township, right on Ajwa Road. It’s a busy spot, especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work. The township has a lot of families, so we see a lot of the same faces every week. It’s mostly just a regular hair shop. We’ve got the standard chairs and the big mirrors that everyone has. Sometimes the traffic outside gets really loud, and you can hear the horns from the main road while we’re working. I’ve been here in Vadodara for years, and this area has changed quite a bit. There’s a lot more shops now than there used to be. Inside the shop, we keep things pretty basic. There’s a small bench for people to wait on, and usually some old newspapers lying around that nobody really reads anymore. We don't have fancy lights or anything, just the usual tubes that hum a little bit if you listen closely. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so I’m always sweeping. It’s a small space, but it’s enough for what we do. People come in, get their hair cut, talk about the weather or the cricket score, and then they head back out to the township. It’s not a complicated place to run. We just open up in the morning and stay until the sun goes down and the street lights on Ajwa Road turn on. It is a simple routine for us.
