Manu Beauty Parlour & Sikhlai Kendra

We've been running Manu Beauty Parlour & Sikhlai Kendra here in Ward No-7 for a while now. Most people know us because we are right near Mandi Devi Dwara in Amritsar. It's a busy spot. We do regular salon work but the Sikhlai Kendra part means we also teach people how to do hair and makeup. It gets a bit crowded sometimes, especially during wedding season or when several students are learning at once. We started this small and just kept going. The shop isn't fancy or anything. Just basic chairs and mirrors. We try to keep things simple. People come in for a quick haircut or maybe some threading while they're out doing their shopping. Sometimes the tea runs out and we have to send someone to the corner. We don't really do big advertisements. Most folks just walk in because they live nearby or heard about us from a neighbor. It's mostly local ladies. We handle everything ourselves, from cleaning the floors in the morning to locking up at night. The training part takes up a lot of time in the afternoons. We teach girls how to hold the thread right and how to mix the colors. It's hard work but it keeps the place lively. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a bit over the years, but Mandi Devi Dwara is still the main landmark for us. If you’re around Amritsar 143001, you'll probably spot our sign. It's just a regular local place where we do our work every day without much fuss.
