Kashish Beauty Parlour

Kashish Beauty Parlour is located in Raviwar Peth, right near Phulwala Chowk. If you know that area in Pune, you know it’s always packed with people and the smell of fresh flowers from the market. I’ve been running this shop for a long time now. It’s a small place, just enough for a couple of customers at a time. We do the usual things like threading, hair cutting, and simple skin treatments. Most of the ladies who come here are from the nearby shops or houses in the Peth. We don't have any fancy equipment. I use my hands and basic tools that I’ve had for years. It gets very busy during the wedding season, and sometimes people have to wait on the bench outside. I have one helper who does the henna and waxing. We usually have the radio playing in the background. The street outside is always noisy with rickshaws and vendors shouting. I try to keep the inside as calm as I can, but it’s hard. We use regular products that are affordable for everyone. I don't believe in charging too much. It’s just a local business for local people. I usually close up around eight in the evening. It’s tiring to be on your feet all day, but I like the people who come in. We share a lot of stories while I do their hair or eyebrows.
