Beauty World Saloon

Beauty World Saloon is on the ground floor of Krishna App in the Gita Bhavan area. It’s a pretty central part of Indore, so there are always people moving about. The salon isn't very large, just a couple of chairs and a wash basin in the corner. We spend most of our time dealing with the usual haircuts and shaves that people need on a weekly basis. We have a small radio that stays on most of the day, usually playing some old songs or the local news. The mirrors are a bit scratched around the edges but you can still see yourself well enough. We don't have any of those expensive coffee machines, just a kettle in the back for when we need a break. Most of the people who come in live in the apartment building itself or just a few blocks away. They usually just walk in without an appointment and wait until we are free. It’s a lot of sweeping and picking up used towels throughout the shift. The lighting is a bit yellow which gives the place a warm feeling even when it’s raining outside. We don't use any fancy marketing tricks or big signs, just the name on the door. It is a straightforward business and we have been doing the same routine for a long time now. By evening, the shop is usually full of talk and the smell of talcum powder.
