Touch & Beauty Beauty Parlour

Touch & Beauty Beauty Parlour is located right on B T Road in the Sinthee area. We are very close to Sinthee More, which is a place everyone in this part of North Kolkata knows well. The traffic on B T Road never seems to stop, and you can hear the buses honking all day long from inside the shop. Our place is at 47 A, and it is a simple setup. We have a few chairs and some shelves where we keep the shampoos and the thread rolls. It is a bit cramped when we have more than three people waiting, but we have a small bench for them. People come in with their shopping bags after visiting the local market. We talk about the price of fish or the rain while I work on their hair. The floor is a bit uneven in the corner, but nobody seems to mind. We aren't trying to be a high-end salon like the ones in the malls. We just provide a place for the local women to get their eyebrows done or get a simple haircut. The water pressure is sometimes a bit low in the afternoons, so we have to keep some buckets ready just in case. It is just a regular part of life here. We open early and close when the last person leaves, usually around eight in the evening. It’s a tiring job but we are used to the noise.
