Sam Saloon

Sam Saloon is located on the Main Road in Prahladapuram. If you are taking the bus, we are just at the backside of the Virat Nagar Bus Stop in Visakhapatnam. It’s a very convenient spot because people can just hop off the bus and come straight to the shop. We don’t have a fancy door or a big lobby. It is a small, practical space where we do haircuts and shaves. The noise of the buses pulling in and out of the stop is something we have gotten used to over time. Inside, we have our tools laid out on the counters and the mirrors are kept as clean as we can get them. We get a mix of people, from young students to older men who have lived in Prahladapuram their whole lives. We don't use any of that complicated marketing talk. We just tell people what we can do and they sit in the chair. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait, so we have a bench where people can sit and watch the street or chat with each other. The walls are a bit plain, but that doesn't matter much to the folks who come here. They just want a decent haircut at a fair price. We’ve been running this place for a good while now, and it’s just our way of making a living in this part of the city. We try to stay open late enough for the workers coming home.
