A.N Jhon Beauty Parlour (Ladies & Gents)

A.N Jhon Beauty Parlour is located right in the middle of Hazratganj in Lucknow. Being in the Narang Building means we see a lot of people passing by all day long. It's a busy spot, especially on weekends when everyone is out shopping. We handle both ladies and gents, so the shop stays quite active with different kinds of work going on. Some people come in for a haircut and others want something more for a special occasion. The air inside always smells like soap and different hair creams. We’ve been in this Ashok Marg area for quite some time, so we know many of the faces that walk through the door. The furniture has seen better days but it’s comfortable enough for a long sitting. I usually start the day by wiping down the counters and making sure the scissors are ready. Hazratganj can be very loud with all the traffic and horns, but inside it’s a bit more relaxed. We have a couple of assistants who help out when it gets crowded. It’s not always perfectly organized, especially when four or five people walk in at once. We just try to get to everyone as fast as we can. Sometimes we run out of tea and have to send someone to the stall downstairs. It's a simple life here, just doing hair and skin work for whoever needs it.
