Tulip Ladies Beauty Parlour

We have been here at Uttarapan Market for some time now. Being on Manujendra Dutta Road means there is always a lot of noise and people walking by. If you know this part of Kolkata, especially Gorabazar, you know it stays busy. The shop isn't huge but we have enough chairs for the ladies who come in. Most days it is just regular stuff like eyebrows or maybe a haircut if someone has a function to attend. We keep the mirrors clean and make sure the floor is swept after every client. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons but the fans work okay. Sometimes people stop in just to ask for directions because the market is a bit confusing. We try to be helpful. Our spot is at number 46. You can see the sign from the road if the buses aren't parked right in front. Working in Gorabazar has its ups and downs. The traffic can be a real headache in the evenings. Most of our regulars live right around here. They come in for a chat while getting their hair done. It is a simple place, nothing fancy like those big malls. We use basic products that people are used to. On Sundays, it gets really packed, so we have to work faster. We don't have a lot of staff, just a couple of us who know the work well. It feels good when someone leaves happy with how they look. That is basically what we do here every day.
