Kamana Beauty Parlour

The shop is right on Tilak Road, not far from Alka Talkies. It’s a busy part of Sadashiv Peth. We usually open up early to get the cleaning done before the first person knocks on the glass. It’s a cozy space, maybe a bit tight when three or four people are inside at once. You can hear the traffic from the main road all day long, especially the horns. We have the usual stuff, chairs that tilt back and a sink for washing hair. The shelves are full of bottles and jars. Some of them have been there for quite a while now. We don’t really do much advertising around here. People just know we are here by word of mouth. They come in for a quick trim or to get their eyebrows done while they’re out doing their shopping. The light inside is a bit yellow, but it makes the place feel warm and homey. Sometimes we have the radio playing low in the background to fill the silence. It gets quite crowded on weekends. We try to keep things organized but sometimes towels pile up in the corner when we are busy. We know most of the people who come in. They live nearby or work in the local shops along the street. It’s a regular neighborhood parlour. You just walk in and wait your turn on the bench. It’s been this way for years and we are used to the pace of this street.
