Saundarya Beauty Parlour & Tailoring Centre

Up here at Pathardi Phata in Nashik, specifically in Kadve Nagar, we have a bit of a different setup at Saundarya Beauty Parlour & Tailoring Centre. We are in Shop No 1 of the Umavandan Appt, which is right near the V P General Store. It’s a handy location because people can drop off their clothes for stitching and then get their eyebrows done or their hair cut all in the same trip. Inside, the shop is split between the sewing machines and the beauty chairs. You’ll see reels of colored thread and fabric scraps on one side and bottles of lotion and hair combs on the other. It’s often a bit messy because we are always in the middle of a project, but we know where everything is. The sound of the sewing machine is like background music for us. We have been here in Kadve Nagar for a while, and most of the ladies in the apartment building are our regulars. Sometimes we are working late into the night to finish a dress for a festival, and other times we are just sitting and chatting with someone who stopped by for a quick trim. It’s a lot of work running two different things at once, but it keeps life interesting. We don't have a big fancy sign, just the work we do to show for it. It’s a busy little corner of the neighborhood.
