Remember the days when a haircut in a local salon cost only 20 rupees? Walls decorated with movie posters, a rotating fan, wooden chairs, and old Hindi songs in the background—it wasn't just a haircut, but a wonderful childhood memory. Now, a resident of Mumbai has revived this feeling using a website.
Yash Bhardwaj from Mumbai developed a very original website. It contains a collection of songs that were often played in old Indian salons, including timeless hits by artists such as Nadeem-Shravan and Kumar Sanu. As soon as you open the site, 90s music starts playing, and users are immersed in memories of old salons. Many visitors note that this resource transports them back to a period when life seemed calmer and simpler.
Yash named his project 'Saloon'. Sharing a screen recording of the site on X, he wrote that the resource reminds people of times when they visited small local salons, not expensive ones. Haircuts were done for 20 rupees, hairstyles were very simple, and the background music gave the atmosphere a special charm. Yash aimed to revive this feeling online.
This idea received a great response on social media. In a short time, Yash's post garnered over 700 thousand views. Thousands of users left comments saying that after viewing the site, they remembered their childhood, their city, and the old local salons. Many noted that in that era, a haircut was not only a necessity but also an occasion to meet friends and listen to old songs.
Even Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder of Paytm, noticed this website, leaving a reaction in the form of an emoji. After this, the discussion about the site accelerated.
Social media filled up with positive reviews about this idea. One user wrote that it was amazing and filled his heart with joy. Another noted that it was one of the best things he had seen on the internet. Another shared that he hadn't seen anything like it in a long time, which brought a smile to his face. Many also felt that turning nostalgia into a business idea is a wonderful example, which led to the rapid viral spread of the site.
