Nikita Beauty Parlour & Ladies Tailor

This shop, Nikita Beauty Parlour & Ladies Tailor, sits right on Makhmalabad Road in Nashik. We are very close to the bus stop, which is helpful for people coming from different parts of the city. We decided to do both beauty work and tailoring because many ladies wanted to get their clothes fixed while they were already out getting their hair done. It saves them a trip. In the back, we have the sewing machines going, and in the front, we have the parlour chairs. It gets a bit noisy with the machines and the chatter, but we like it that way. Nashik is a nice place to live, and Makhmalabad is a good neighborhood. We see a lot of the same people every week. Some come for a blouse fitting and end up getting their eyebrows done too. We don't have any fancy signs or a big marketing plan. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for the first customer. Sometimes the thread runs out or the needles break, and we have to run out to get more. It is a lot of work managing two things at once, but it keeps us busy. Most people who live near the bus stop know where Shop No. 13 is. We just try to do honest work and keep the shop tidy. It is a family-run kind of thing, and we take pride in the stitches we make and the haircuts we give. We keep our eyes on the details and just keep going day by day.
