Pinky Ladies Beauty Parlour

You can find us over at No 5 in Vadavalli. We are situated in Om Ganesh Nagar, which is a fairly quiet part of Coimbatore compared to the city center. The Kattu Vinayagar Temple is right near us, so we often hear the bells or see people heading there for prayers in the morning. It’s a ladies-only spot, mostly just doing the basic stuff like threading, hair oiling, or a simple wash. The room is small and we’ve tried to make it comfortable with a few chairs and some mirrors on the walls. It doesn't feel like those big expensive salons in the malls. It’s more like a place where you can just sit and chat while we work. The street outside is usually calm, with a few cows wandering by or neighbors heading to the shop. We start our day early, especially when there are temple festivals happening because the whole area gets more active then. Vadavalli has grown a lot, but this corner feels like the old days. We keep our supplies in small cabinets and try to keep everything tidy. It’s a modest setup at No 5. Most of our regulars are women who live in the houses right on this street or the next one over. We usually have a pot of water for guests and a few old calendars on the wall to keep track of the days. It’s just a local business running out of Om Ganesh Nagar.
