Ashish Beauty Parlours

Ashish Beauty Parlours is located in Pune City, specifically in Shivrai Nagar right across from the Mahasobha Mandir. It’s a small place that I’ve been managing for a few years now. I wanted to have something of my own that was close to where I live. Most of the women who come here are from the nearby buildings and we’ve become quite friendly over time. We do the basic things like eyebrows, waxing, and hair cuts. The shop isn't very large, so it can feel a bit crowded when three or four people are waiting for their turn. I try to keep everything tidy, but the dust from the road always seems to find its way inside no matter how much I clean. Sometimes the neighborhood kids run in and out, which adds to the noise, but that’s just how life is in this part of Pune. We have a couple of chairs and some mirrors that have been here since the day I opened. They aren't new anymore, but they do the job just fine. You can hear the bells from the mandir across the street every morning and evening, which is quite nice actually. My sister comes over to help me on Saturdays because that’s our busiest day. We don’t have a big fancy sign, just a small one by the door so people know we are here. It’s a simple, local business for the neighborhood ladies.
