Kanwal Beauty Parlour Training Centre

This place is right in Mohali at Garden Colony, specifically at D 975. It’s a busy house turned into a training spot where there’s always something going on. We have mirrors lined up along the walls and the smell of hair products is pretty much stuck in the curtains by now. Students come in every morning, some of them travel from quite a distance to learn how to do hair and makeup properly. It’s not a quiet environment; there’s usually three or four blow dryers going at once and people chatting about their day. We’ve got practice heads with wigs scattered around and piles of towels that always need washing. I spend a lot of my time showing the girls how to hold the scissors or mix the colors without making a mess. The colony itself is fairly quiet, but our unit stays humming until late in the evening. Sometimes we run out of coffee or the water pressure is low, and we just have to figure it out as we go. It’s a very hands-on kind of life here. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone like that, just us teaching what we know. A lot of the ladies from the neighborhood come by to get things done too, so it’s a good mix of students learning and real customers sitting in the chairs. It feels like a big family most days, even when things get a little chaotic with the schedules.
