Oax Beauty Parlour

Oax Beauty Parlour sits on Tana Street over in Purasawalkam. We are at No.88, which is right near the Indra Gandhi Statue. It’s a landmark everyone knows, so people don’t usually get lost finding us. The shop has been a part of this street for a while. It’s not a huge place, just a few chairs and the equipment we need to get through the day. We don't spend much on fancy decorations. We’d rather just make sure the mirrors are clean and the towels are fresh. Purasawalkam is always buzzing with shoppers, especially near the statue, so we get a lot of walk-ins. Some people just want a quick trim, others stay for longer stuff. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us. We talk to our customers about their families and what’s going on in the neighborhood while we work. It feels more like a community spot than a business sometimes. We’ve had some rainy days where the roof leaked a little, but we patched it up and kept going. That’s just life in an old building in Chennai. We like being here. It’s a good spot with good people. If you’re around Tana Street, you’ll see our sign. We’re usually there from morning until late evening, just taking it one customer at a time. It's a simple life and we enjoy the work we do for the locals. We stay busy.
