Vanashri Beauty Parlour

Vanashri Beauty Parlour is tucked away inside Muktai Apartment at 131 A in Shaniwar Peth. If you don't know the area well, it can be a little hard to find at first because the building is on a busy lane. I set this place up because I live nearby and it made sense to work close to home. I do mostly the usual stuff like threading and haircuts for the women who live in the apartment and the surrounding houses. The room is pretty small, just enough for one main chair and a small table where I keep all my creams and scissors. I have a medium-sized mirror on the wall that's been there for years. My customers are mostly ladies from the neighborhood who have been coming to me for a long time. We spend a lot of time talking about the local markets and how things are changing in Pune. Sometimes the light in the building's hallway is a bit dim, but once you get inside the shop, it's bright enough. I don't really do any big advertising; word of mouth has always been enough to keep me busy. I usually take a break in the afternoon when it’s quiet and then stay open until late in the evening when people are finishing their daily errands. It’s not a fancy place with music or expensive decorations, just a regular, honest parlor where you can get your beauty work done without any fuss.
