Konark Ladies Beauty Parlour

We've been here in Sadashiv Peth for quite a while now. It’s a busy area in Pune, and our little place, Konark Ladies Beauty Parlour, is tucked right into the middle of it. Mostly, we just see the same ladies from around the neighborhood coming in for their usual stuff. It’s not a fancy place with big lights or anything like that. We just have a few chairs and the basic tools we need. Sometimes the morning gets really crowded and people have to wait on the small bench outside, but nobody seems to mind too much because they all know each other. I started this because I liked doing hair and threadings back in the day, and it just turned into a daily routine. We don’t do those complicated treatments you see on TV. It’s just simple haircuts, waxing, and some face cleanup when someone has a wedding to go to. The tea stall next door usually brings us chai around four in the afternoon. Most days go by pretty fast between chatting with customers and keeping the floor swept. It gets a bit dusty being so close to the main road, but that’s just how it is here. We try to keep things organized, though sometimes the towel pile gets a bit high on Saturdays. If you’re walking through Sadashiv Peth, you’ll probably see our sign hanging out front. It’s nothing special, just a place for the local women to get things done.
