Shine Gorgeous

You can find us in Gaganmahal, right in the Domalguda-Himayat Nagar area. The shop is at 1-2-288/1, sitting right beside the Kuchipudi Academy. It is interesting being next to a dance school because we often hear the music or see students in their traditional clothes walking by. Shine Gorgeous is just a regular place where we do hair and beauty stuff for the local women. We have a few stations set up and the walls are painted a simple color. It is not a place where we use big words or have complicated rules. People just come in, sit down, and tell us what they need. The neighborhood is a mix of old houses and new shops, and we feel like we fit right into the middle of it. Sometimes the tea man from down the street brings us chai in the morning. We spend a lot of time cleaning up hair and wiping down counters because we like to keep the place decent for the next person. The address is 500029 if you are looking on a map. We have some plants near the entrance that we try to keep alive, though the Hyderabad heat makes it hard sometimes. It is a honest little shop where we work hard and try to make sure everyone leaves looking a bit better than when they walked in. There is nothing more to it than that, just daily work.
