Shaheen Beauty Parlour

Shaheen Beauty Parlour is situated in Al-Noor Colony, right near the Classic Hospital in Hyderpora. Even though the address says Budgam 190014, we are right on the edge where people from all over come by. It’s a quiet enough street, tucked away from the main noise of the highway. The shop is small and has a very homey feel to it. We don't have marble floors or crystal chandeliers. Instead, we have some comfortable benches for people to wait on and a few mirrors that we’ve had since we opened. We do mostly standard beauty work like haircuts and henna. Being near Classic Hospital means we get some staff members coming in after their shifts, looking a bit tired but wanting to freshen up. We try to keep things calm inside. We don’t have a lot of fancy products, just the ones we know work well for our clients. The lighting is a bit dim in the back corner, but we make it work. Most of our days are spent talking to the ladies from Al-Noor Colony about their kids or the weather. It’s a small community business, nothing more. We don't have a receptionist, so we just manage everything ourselves. We open up the shutters in the morning and close them when the work is done. It’s a simple way to spend the day, and we like being here in Hyderpora doing this work for the neighborhood. It keeps us busy.
