New Look Salon Boutique & Beauty Parlour

Our place is on Sheruma Road, shop number 91, here in Amritsar. It’s a bit of a mix because we do salon work and we have the boutique side too. We started it because we saw that people wanted a place where they could get their hair done and also look at some clothes or get things stitched. It’s a busy little shop most of the time. We spend most of our time at the back or at the cutting stations. Amritsar is a big city but our part of Sheruma Road feels like a small community where everyone knows each other. We get a lot of girls coming in for bridal stuff or just regular haircuts. The boutique part keeps us busy with different fabrics and designs all day long. We aren't some big brand or a franchise. It’s just a local business we built up from nothing. Some days are really hectic, especially during the wedding season when everyone wants everything done at once. We just put our heads down and get to it. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that, so usually, one of us just wipes our hands and comes to the door when someone walks in. It’s a practical way to run things. We keep the place tidy but it’s definitely a working shop. You'll see thread on the floor and hair being swept up all day long. That's just how it is when you're actually working. We just try to keep up with the work.
