Priyal Beauty Parlour

Our place is over in Sudama Nagar in Indore, near Sai Dawar. If you know Sudama Nagar, you know it's a huge area with lots of lanes and shops everywhere you look. We are just one of the small beauty parlours tucked away in this part of town. It is a simple room with a couple of chairs and a big mirror that we try to keep clean every day. Most of the time, it's just local women from the surrounding blocks coming in for a quick hair wash or to get their threading done before an event. We don't have a big staff, so sometimes things take a little longer if it's a busy Saturday. We talk a lot about what's happening in the neighborhood and whose daughter is getting married next. The shop gets a bit warm in the afternoon because the sun hits the front glass directly, but we have a small fan that helps a little bit. We have some posters of hairstyles on the wall that are quite old now, but they give the place some character and color. It’s not a polished or corporate kind of place at all. It’s more like coming to a neighbor's house to get your hair fixed while you chat. We use the basic products that everyone knows and trusts. People like that they can just walk in without an appointment most days of the week. It is just a honest little shop doing its work.
