Mamta Beauty Parlour

We are situated in the Sardarji Building on Kali Khabar Road. This part of Hyderabad, Kali Khabar, has a lot of history and old buildings. Our shop is right opposite the lane that leads to the Darbar Maissamma Temple. You can usually hear the sounds from the street and the temple bells throughout the day. The building itself is quite old, so the rooms have high ceilings and thick walls which keep it a bit cooler. We have a few chairs set up for the customers. It’s a very local feel here. Most of the people who come to us are from the nearby houses and have been coming for years. We do the basic stuff like eyebrows, hair oiling, and simple cuts. We don't have any of that modern neon lighting; we just use regular tube lights that get the job done. The floor is old stone, and we sweep it out every hour or so. Sometimes the lane opposite gets very crowded during festival times, and the whole area feels very alive and noisy. We have a small corner where we keep our tea cups and a little stove for making some chai. It’s not a fancy place by any means, but it’s comfortable for the women who live around here. We know who likes their hair short and who wants a lot of oil. It’s just a steady, everyday kind of business in a busy part of the city.
