As far as small salons go, Ahsaan packs in quite a punch. Rhea Dhanbhoora tells you why it’s worth a visit
You could miss the inconspicuous salon if you walk by too quickly. As small salon’s go, this one fits the bill. Ahsaan, the three-month-old salon at Irla, shows you how small places don’t have to be bad. Owned (as the name suggests) by Ahsaan, the salon is well decorated despite the lack of space. Spread over two levels, the upstairs is reserved for waxing. With more than a few customers though, you may find yourself with little breathing space.
Having worked in places such as VLCC and Kit ‘n’ Sam, Ahsaan finally having his own salon must be the reason for his extremely cheerful demeanor. With 30 years of experience in cutting and styling you know you’re in good hands. The head massage is relaxing and soothing; we’d definitely go back for more. The facial doesn’t disappoint either. With friendly staff, you could soon forget how small the salon is while you relax and let the treatments take over. The reasonable prices are also an appealing factor, with a complete hair style change at just `500, hair colour up to `2,000 and rebonding treatments setting you back up to `7,500.
The twenty year old clientele hints at good service and apart from a few technical issues with machines that take a little while to get moving, it’s a quaint little salon that’s charming enough to visit again. And since it’s still in its growing phase, we feel obliged to excuse a few maintenance issues here and there.
