Belladonna Hair & Beauty Care

You can find Belladonna Hair & Beauty Care over in Shahibaug. We are on the first floor of Malinath Complex, Shop F-6. The building is on Rajasthan Hospital Road, which stays pretty busy throughout the day. If you see Sujata Flat, we are right across from there. The stairs to the first floor are a bit narrow, but once you get up here, the shop is decent enough. It’s a basic setup for hair cutting and general beauty stuff. I spend most of my day dealing with the humidity and keeping the floor swept. Shahibaug is a nice area, and we get a mix of people from the flats around us. We’ve been in this complex for a while, so the other shopkeepers are all friends. Sometimes we share tea in the afternoons when it’s slow. The hair care part is what keeps us busiest. People come in with photos on their phones of what they want, and I do my best to match it. It’s not always perfect, but people seem happy enough to come back. The complex has that typical Ahmedabad feel—a bit of dust, lots of scooters parked outside, and a lot of movement. I like being on the first floor because I can see the road clearly. It’s just a regular local business trying to do good work for the neighbors. Nothing too complicated or fancy about how we run things here.
