Muskaan Herbal Beauty Parlour

I've been here at Muskaan Herbal Beauty Parlour in Begum Bazar for quite a while now. The shop is right at 14-2-222, Baidwdi, Begum Bazar, which is basically across the street from the Begum Bazar Nursing Home. If you know this part of Hyderabad, you know how busy it gets with all the shops and people moving around. We started this place because I liked working with herbal things and wanted a small space of my own. The room isn't huge, but it fits what we need. We have the usual mirrors and chairs, and some shelves where we keep the bowls and powders. Most days, it's just the sound of the fans and people chatting. The nursing home across the way is a good landmark for people who haven't visited us before. Begum Bazar has its own rhythm, and we are just a small part of that. Sometimes the traffic outside is loud, but inside we just focus on the work. We use simple ingredients, nothing too fancy or chemical-heavy, which is why we have the word herbal in the name. It’s just a regular local spot where people from the neighborhood come by. Usually, it's busy in the afternoons when the sun is high and people want to get out of the heat. We don't have a big fancy sign, just a plain one that tells you where we are. It feels good to be a familiar face in this part of town and we hope to be here for more years.
