Brown Excel Ladies Beauty Parlour

Elgin Road is always a bit busy, especially with the Vodafone store right across from us here in Civil Lines. We’ve been at 18/14G for some time now. It’s not a huge place, but we have enough room for the chairs and the hair washing station. Usually, the day starts with a bit of cleaning and getting the towels ready. Most of the ladies who come here live nearby in Allahabad, so we know their names and how they like their hair done. It gets quite loud sometimes when there are a few people waiting and talking. The mirrors have some spots that are hard to get off, but they do the job. We don’t have any fancy signs or anything, just the name on the front. Sometimes the traffic outside makes it hard to hear, but you get used to it after a few years. We keep some magazines on the table, though they are mostly old ones that people have already read. The floor is tile and we sweep it about ten times a day because hair gets everywhere. It’s just how it is. We try to keep the chairs comfortable because some of the work takes a long time. People usually stop by while they are out doing other errands. It is just a regular shop where we do what we can to make sure people look decent before they head back out into the heat.
