Ankansna Photo Studio Beauty Parlor

Ankansna Photo Studio Beauty Parlor is located in the H A Market area of Hadapsar. Specifically, we are at Kalupur Sr No 3, in Shop No 5. It’s a bit of a unique setup because we handle both photography and beauty services in the same space. One side of the room has the backdrops and the camera gear on tripods, while the other side has the salon chairs and the hair dryers. It’s a busy little shop. Being in H A Market means there is always something going on outside. Shop No 5 isn't very large, so we have to be careful about where we put everything. I spend a lot of time switching between the two sides. The lighting has to be good for the photos, which actually helps on the beauty side too. We have a lot of frames on the walls showing some of the work we’ve done over the years. The floor is a bit uneven in one corner, but we’ve gotten used to it. People from the Kalupur area come in for passport photos or to get their hair done before an event. It’s a practical mix of things to do. The market is noisy and full of life, and our shop is just one small part of it. We keep the shutters up from morning until late at night most days. It’s a lot of work but it keeps us busy.
