Shine & Glow Beauty Parlour

Shine & Glow Beauty Parlour is tucked away in Dhanvantri Nagar, specifically at Hig C/26 in the Garha area. We are right on Medical Road in Jabalpur. It is a residential neighborhood, so most of the people who come here are just the women living in the nearby houses. I keep the parlour clean and simple. I have a couple of chairs and a curtain for privacy when someone needs a wax or a facial. The afternoons are usually the busiest time because that is when the housewives have finished their chores and have a bit of free time. I spend a lot of time doing threading or putting on face packs. The smell of rose water and herbal creams is always in the air here. Jabalpur gets very hot in the summer, so I keep the ceiling fan running at full speed all day long. Sometimes the neighbor's kids come by and peek through the door. I don't have any big signs or bright lights, just a small board outside so people know where to turn. It is a quiet kind of work. I listen to the radio or just chat with the ladies about their families and the local news. When it gets dark, I start tidying up the bottles and washing the brushes. I like the routine of it. Once everything is back in its place, I turn off the lights and walk home, which isn't very far away from the shop.
