What is Indian Barber Radio?

Indian Barber Radio is an immersive online Indian barber shop where you can enter a virtual salon, ask the barber to play a song, and listen to a curated playlist.

Songs that fit the nostalgic atmosphere of Indian neighbourhood barber shops — familiar Hindi songs from the 90s and 2000s and other tracks associated with that era and culture.

Where does the music come from?

Music is played through an embedded YouTube playlist. Indian Barber Radio does not host the music files itself.

What does “people are inside” mean?

The live listener number represents anonymous active sessions currently using the experience. It is an approximate activity count, not a count of identified people.

Yes. The playlist is connected to a configurable YouTube playlist, so the songs can be updated without rebuilding the entire experience.

Is this a real barber shop?

No. It’s an interactive digital recreation inspired by the feeling and atmosphere of Indian neighbourhood barber shops.
