Ruby Beauty Saloon

Ruby Beauty Saloon is located at No 18 on Iyya Mudali Street in the Chindatripet area of Chennai. It is right near the Mankaliamman Temple. This street is usually quite busy with people walking by and scooters zooming past. We have been here for a while now. The shop itself is not very big, just a regular local place where people come to get their hair cut or a shave. It's a simple setup with a few chairs and some old mirrors. We don't have fancy lights or anything like that. Most of our customers are folks who live around here in Chindatripet. They stop in while they are out doing their shopping or after visiting the temple. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded on the weekends and people have to wait on the bench outside. We try to keep things moving. The weather in Chennai is usually hot so we have a couple of fans going all the time. It gets a bit dusty because of the road but we sweep up regularly. My family has lived in this part of the city for a long time. We know the neighbors and the other shopkeepers on the street. It’s just a normal part of our day to open up the shop and see who comes in. We don’t do any big advertisements or anything. Just the sign above the door that says Ruby Beauty Saloon. It's a practical business for us.
