Priyaj Beauty Parlour

My parlour is tucked inside Green Oak Apartment, specifically unit D-102. Meera Marg is a nice, quiet part of Bani Park here in Jaipur. It’s not a shop on the main road, so it’s mostly the people who live in the building or nearby who come in. I started it in this apartment because it was easier than renting a commercial space. It feels more like a home than a business, really. I have one room set up with the chair, a sink, and all my creams and bottles on the shelves. There’s a small waiting area with a few old stools. It’s peaceful. You don't get the noise of the traffic like you do in other parts of Jaipur. I do the usual stuff—hair oiling, facials, and threading. I work by myself mostly. Sometimes if I’m busy, customers have to wait in the living room area. I’ve got some plants on the balcony that I try to keep alive. The apartment is easy to find once you get to Meera Marg. I don't have a big glowing sign outside, just a small nameplate. It’s a simple life. I open up around ten in the morning and usually close by seven. If someone needs something done later, they just call me and I see if I’m free. It’s a very informal way of doing things, but my customers seem to like that. I use the same products I’d use on myself because I think they work best.
