Manchaha Beauty Parlour

Our little parlour is right by the Bus Stand in Dhurwa, which means we see a lot of different faces every single day. Ranchi weather can be quite unpredictable, so people often duck in here to escape the hot sun or a sudden rain shower. I set up Manchaha Beauty Parlour to handle the basic things like threading, waxing, and some simple facials for the local ladies. It’s a small space, but we keep it tidy and welcoming for the people who live around here or those just passing through the bus station. Often, customers come in while waiting for their bus to arrive and they have thirty minutes to spare. We have a few mirrors and comfortable chairs where they can sit and relax for a bit while we do our work. My assistant and I stay busy from the morning until we close up. We don’t have any big signs or loud music, just the sound of the buses outside and our own quiet talk. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once, but we manage somehow. I’ve lived in Ranchi a long time, so I know what the local women prefer. We use the regular products that everyone knows. It’s a practical business, nothing too over the top. I like being near the bus stand because there is always life moving around us and it never gets boring.
