Alankar Beauty Salon

If you walk down HRBR Layout in the 2nd Block, you’ll find us at number 309. Alankar Beauty Salon has been sitting here for a good bit now, right among the other shops and houses. It’s a decent sized room with big mirrors that we try to keep smudge-free, though that’s hard with people coming in and out all day. The street outside can get pretty loud with cars and bikes, but inside it’s mostly just the sound of the hair dryers and people chatting. We’ve got a couple of wash basins in the back that have seen better days but they work fine. The floor is tiled and we spend half our day sweeping up bits of hair. It gets a bit crowded on Saturday mornings when everyone realizes they need to look tidy for the weekend. We don’t really do fancy decorations or anything like that. There’s a rack with some old magazines near the front for anyone waiting. Our neighbors are nice and sometimes we share some snacks if business is slow. The light hits the front window pretty hard in the afternoon so we keep the blinds halfway down most of the time. It’s just a normal place where people come to get their hair sorted out. We don’t have any big corporate plans, just staying open and keeping the chairs filled throughout the week. It works for us and the people who live nearby.
