Akarshan Beauty Parlour

Our parlor is located at 1-D/70 in Faridabad. We are right near Milap Davakhana, so if you can find the medicine shop, you’ve basically found us. It is a local neighborhood spot, nothing like the big salons you see in the malls. We have a few chairs, some mirrors that have been there since we opened, and a small area for washing hair. The walls are decorated with some pictures of styles we’ve done over the years to give people ideas. It’s a cozy place, maybe a bit too small when three or four people show up at once, but we manage the space okay. My sister and I run the place mostly. We know the ladies in this block of Faridabad quite well by now. Usually, they come in for a quick threading or to get their hair trimmed before an event. We don't use any fancy booking systems; people just walk in or call my mobile number. Sometimes the neighborhood kids run in and out, or someone stops by just to borrow a chair for a minute to rest. The floor tiles are a bit worn out from all the walking, but the place is kept clean. We don't have a lot of expensive products on the shelves, just the stuff that we know works for our customers. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we enjoy the daily gossip.
