Shakhi Beauty Parlour

Our little parlour is over on Kanadia Road in the Sanvid Nagar part of Indore. It’s number 126. It’s not a huge space, but it’s enough for what we do. Most days it’s just me and a helper. We’ve been here for a good while, and most of the women in the neighborhood know to just drop in when they have time. Shakhi Beauty Parlour is pretty basic. We have our stations for hair and a small area for everything else. The Kanadia Road traffic can be a bit much during the rush hour, so it’s usually quieter in the middle of the day. We don’t go in for all those complicated treatments you see on TV. We stick to the things we know how to do well. It’s a place where you can come in, sit down, and just breathe for a minute while we work. The mirrors are old but they show you what you need to see. I like the atmosphere here because it’s relaxed. We don’t have a uniform or a formal way of speaking. It’s just us. Sometimes the tea man comes by and we take a five-minute break to drink out of those small glass cups. That’s the pace of life in Sanvid Nagar. We’re just happy to be a part of the local community and keep the shop running for another year. It’s steady work and we like the people we see every day when we open up.
