Laveena Beauty Parlour

Laveena Beauty Parlour is over in Kanpur, specifically in Yashoda Nagar. We are at Shop No. 185 in Block - K. It’s very close to Rahul Memorial School, so we get a lot of mothers dropping in after they leave their kids off in the morning. The school is a big part of the neighborhood. Yashoda Nagar is a residential area, so it feels a bit quieter than the main city center. Our shop is just a small room really. We have the basics like threading kits, some hair colors, and a few facial creams. We don't try to do anything we aren't good at. It’s mostly just me and another girl helping out. We keep a diary for appointments, but half the time people just show up whenever they have a free hour. The shop floor is tiled, which makes it easier to clean up at the end of the day. We have a small bench outside for people to sit if it gets crowded inside. Kanpur heat can be a lot, so the shade from the building helps. We’ve been here for several years now. We know the teachers from the school and the people living in the nearby blocks. It’s a comfortable routine. We don't make a big fuss about things. We just provide a local service for the women in Block K. It keeps us busy and pays the bills. We close up when the street lights come on.
