Sobha Beauty Parlour

Sobha Beauty Parlour is located right in Chennai, specifically in the 600001 area. It’s a place that’s been around, tucked into the busy streets where everyone is always in a hurry. We don’t have a massive sign or anything like that, just our name on the door and the sound of hair dryers going inside. Being in this part of Chennai means we see all sorts of people walking by. Some stop in for a quick trim and others stay longer. It’s a bit of a small space, but we make it work with what we have. There are a couple of chairs and some shelves for our supplies. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so someone is always sweeping. It’s a routine we’ve gotten used to. We start the day by unlocking the gate and getting the water ready. Sometimes the power goes out for a bit, but that’s just how things are here. We don’t really do big advertisements. Most people just find us because they live nearby or their friends told them we were here. It’s a quiet kind of work most days, unless the radio is on. We just keep our heads down and do the jobs. Whether it’s threading or a haircut, it’s just about the person sitting in the chair at that moment. We like being part of the neighborhood. The humidity here can be tough, so the fan is always on. We just stay here doing our thing day after day.
