Apsara Beauty Parlour & Denning Centre

Down here at 10/687 on Swarn Path in Mansarovar, you’ll find Apsara Beauty Parlour & Denning Centre. Mansarovar is a big area in Jaipur, and Swarn Path is a busy street where something is always happening. We’ve been running this place for quite a while now. It’s a parlour but we also have the denning centre part where we teach people the basics of the trade. The shop has a few different rooms for different things. We do hair, skin, and bridal stuff when the season is right. The walls are covered with some old posters and we have chairs that have seen a lot of use. It gets quite warm in Jaipur during the summer, so we have the fans going full blast all the time. You can usually hear the sound of hair dryers or people talking about their day. It’s mostly women from the surrounding houses who come in. They bring their kids sometimes and it gets a bit noisy, but we don't mind. We aren't a high-end salon like you see in the malls. We are just a local spot where people feel okay sitting around. The training part keeps us busy too, with students learning how to thread or cut hair. It’s a lot of work to keep everything organized, but we’ve been doing it long enough that it’s just natural now. We just open the doors every morning and see who comes by.
