Queen Beauty Parlour

Up in Bardoli, things are a bit different than the main city of Surat. We are over at 204, Khodiyar Nagar. It’s on Gandhi Road, which is a busy stretch. Most people find us by looking for the Raymond Show Room because we are right behind it. Also, the Kesar Kunj Row House is nearby. It’s a good location for us. Queen Beauty Parlour isn't some royal palace, despite the name. It’s just a comfortable room where we help the local women. We have a lot of space in Khodiyar Nagar, and it feels quite open. We usually have the radio playing softly in the background. Bardoli is a place where everyone seems to know everyone else’s business, so we hear a lot of stories. We don't mind. It makes the day go by faster. We keep our prices fair because we know the people here. We aren't trying to get rich; we just want to run a good shop. Sometimes the dust from Gandhi Road comes in, so we are always dusting the counters and the bottles. It is just part of the job. We have a regular schedule and we stick to it. If you are walking past the row houses, you might see us waving to someone through the window. We like being part of the Bardoli community. It’s home, and the shop is where we spend most of our time throughout the week.
