Diva Parlour

If you are around Aliganj in Lucknow, you might have seen us near the Sector-Q Chauraha. It is a very active area and there is always a lot of traffic at the crossing. My parlour is a small spot where I handle all kinds of beauty work. I don't have a big staff, so most of the time it is just me or maybe one helper. We do a lot of hair cutting and skin treatments for the ladies who live in the nearby sectors. People usually stop by on their way home from the market or when they have some free time in the afternoon. I try to keep the place cool because the Lucknow heat can be quite tough. The interior is simple with basic furniture and some lights. I don't believe in making things look more expensive than they are. I just focus on doing a decent job with the threading or the hair coloring. Some of my customers have been coming to me for years, and we have become good friends. We talk about our kids and what is happening in Aliganj. It is a quiet kind of life inside the shop even though the chauraha outside is so loud. I keep a stack of old magazines for people to look at while they wait. It is just a local business trying to serve the people around here. There isn't much more to it than that, and I like it that way.
