Surabhi Beauti Parlour

Our place, Surabhi Beauti Parlour, is in the 4M/ 97 Building on Bhoot Nath Road. If you know where the T.V Tower is in Kankarbagh, then we are very close to that. Patna gets really hot in the summer, so the parlour is a place where women come to sit for a bit and get their eyebrows or hair done. We have a few chairs and some basic equipment for facials and hair washing. The walls have some old posters on them, and we keep the window shut to keep the dust from the road out. It’s a neighborhood spot where mothers bring their daughters, and we see the same people every month. Sometimes the water pressure in the building is a bit low, so we have to keep buckets filled just in case. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us who know how to handle the daily work. The street outside is always full of cars and people going to the market. We try to keep the place organized, but with all the bottles and hair clips, it usually looks a bit messy by evening. We do simple haircuts, threading, and some bridal makeup when the season comes around. It’s just a small shop in a busy part of Patna where we work every day from morning until the sun goes down.
