Kaarunya Beauty Parlours

Our place is at Door No. 7-1-400/9 in Balkampet. It is a very busy corner of Ameerpet, especially with the Satyam Theatre being so close by. You can often hear the crowds and the music when a big new movie comes out. We have been here long enough that we do not really notice the noise anymore. The shop is not huge, but we make the most of the space we have. There is a wooden bench for waiting, though it gets full on Sunday mornings. We handle everything ourselves, from cleaning the floors to managing the daily appointments. Most of our customers are from the apartments nearby in the Ameerpet area. They stop in on their way home from work or before heading out for a night with friends. It is a straightforward setup. We have the usual mirrors, some old magazines for people to read while they wait, and our equipment. Sometimes the tap in the back leaks a little, so we keep a bucket under it until the plumber can come by next week. It is just us running a small business in a crowded city like Hyderabad. We do not have any big slogans or anything. We just open the doors and work until it is time to go home. The street lights outside flick on around six, and that is usually when our busiest time of the day starts.
