Asmitas Saheli Ladies Beauty Saloon

I started this place on Sinhagad Road because I live nearby and knew the ladies here needed a spot for their hair and skin. It’s a small shop in Sahakar Nagar, nothing too fancy, but we keep it clean and the mirrors are always wiped down. Usually, the mornings are quiet, so I spend time organizing the bottles and making sure the towels are washed and folded. By the afternoon, people start dropping in. Some want a simple haircut, others are getting ready for a wedding or a family function. We have the usual chairs and the big hair dryer that makes a lot of noise. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit and talk until it comes back. It’s mostly regular neighbors who come by. They tell me about their kids or what they’re cooking for dinner. I like that part of the job. It’s not just about the eyebrows or the facials, it’s about the chat. We use the standard creams and lotions you find everywhere. My hands get tired by the end of the day from all the threading and washing, but that is how it goes when you run your own place. The 60 feet road is always busy outside with cars and people shouting, so it’s nice to have this little space where things are a bit calmer. We don't have a huge staff, just a couple of us who know how to handle the busy weekend rush.
