Ambica Hair Beauty Studio

We are tucked away in Market 2 of the C Pkt in Sarita Vihar. If you walk past the main shops, you’ll find us easily enough. The studio isn’t huge, but we’ve managed to fit in three styling chairs and a couple of basins for washing hair. It usually smells like a mix of hairspray and that herbal shampoo we use quite a lot. We spend most of our day on our feet, moving between the mirrors and the sinks. The floor is covered in hair clippings five minutes after we sweep it, which is just part of the job. We have some regular ladies from the neighborhood who come in every few weeks, and we usually end up talking about the local news or what’s happening in the market while we work. The mirrors have a few smudges that never seem to go away, and the towels are always in the dryer in the back. It gets pretty busy on Saturday afternoons when everyone wants to get something done before the weekend ends. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes the combs and clips end up all over the place when we’re in a rush. It’s a simple setup with a few posters on the wall that have been there for years. We just keep the scissors sharp and the water warm, doing our thing one customer at a time in this little corner of Sarita Vihar. It’s a bit chaotic sometimes.
