Opera The Beauty Parlour

We are located at 1 Akash Ganga Complex on Nirmala Road. It’s right opposite Nirmala School, which means around 12 or 1 o'clock, the street gets completely packed with parents and kids. You can hear the school bells and the shouting from inside the shop. It’s a good location though, easy to find for anyone in this part of Rajkot. The parlour itself is one room with big mirrors and several stations for working. We have shelves filled with different creams and shampoos, mostly things we’ve found that work well over the years. I spend a lot of time on my feet, moving from one customer to the next. The floor is tiled, which makes it easier to sweep up the hair. Every evening, I make sure all the tools are put away in the drawers. It’s not a fancy lifestyle, but it’s what we do at Opera The Beauty Parlour. Sometimes customers bring their kids and they sit on the waiting bench playing with their phones. We have a small television in the corner but it usually just stays on a news channel with the volume low. The air conditioner works okay, though it struggles when the sun hits the front of the building in the late afternoon. It’s just a regular beauty parlour where we focus on the job at hand. People come in, we talk for a bit, and then they leave feeling a bit better. That’s about it.
