Pushpa Herbal Beauty Parlour

In the middle of Shiv Colony in the Khatipura area of Jaipur, you will find our small place. Pushpa Herbal Beauty Parlour is what we call it. It isn't a very large shop, but we’ve made it work for a long time. Jaipur is known for its traditions, and we try to stick to that by using herbal things as much as we can. People come in with tired skin from the sun, and we do what we can with our pastes and packs. We don’t have those big fancy machines you see in the malls. It’s mostly hand work here. We get a lot of ladies from the colony who come in for their regular threading or to get their hair oiled and braided. It feels more like a house than a business sometimes because everyone knows everyone else’s business. We have a couple of chairs and a small space in the back for more private work. The street outside can get a bit noisy with scooters, but inside we just focus on the task at hand. We don’t spend money on big signs or posters. Word of mouth is how most people find their way to us. We open up early enough to catch the people who want to beat the afternoon heat. It’s just a simple life running a parlor in this part of town, making sure people leave feeling a bit better than when they walked in.
