Mannat Beauty Parlour

Mannat Beauty Parlour is tucked away in Mahindra Enclave, Ghaziabad. Our address is B-108, which is basically a residential part of the city. It’s a bit quieter than the main markets, which is nice most of the time. We started this place in a corner of the building and it’s grown a bit since then, but not too much. It’s mostly just a local spot where women from the enclave come to get their eyebrows done or maybe a haircut. We don't have fancy lights or a big reception desk. It’s more like sitting in a friend's living room, really. The floor is tiled and we try to keep it swept, though hair gets everywhere. My cousin helps me out on weekends when it gets a bit crowded. We spend a lot of time talking about the neighborhood news while we work. It’s just the way it is here. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which is just part of living in Ghaziabad. We’ve got some old posters on the walls and our tools are kept in simple drawers. People find us through word of mouth mostly. We don't bother with much else. It’s a practical little place for the folks living nearby. We just keep things moving, one customer at a time, every day except for our off days. It's not a grand business, but it's ours and we like it.
