Anju Beauty Salon

Our place is at B 64 in Soami Nagar. It is called Anju Beauty Salon. It’s tucked away in the residential block, so it’s fairly calm most of the time. We have a couple of chairs and a small area for people to wait if they get here early. The sign outside is a bit old now, but people still see it. Being in Soami Nagar, we see the same faces quite often. The street outside is usually lined with parked cars. I try to keep the front tidy, sweeping the steps every morning before we start. The mirrors inside are large and we have to wipe them down constantly because of the dust. It isn’t a massive space, just enough for what’s needed. Sometimes the power goes out for a bit, so we keep some candles or a torch ready. It’s part of living here. We don’t have any big fancy displays, just some posters on the walls that have been there for years. The floor is tiled and easy to clean. Most days pass by steadily. I usually bring my own lunch and eat in the back corner when it’s quiet. It feels like a normal part of the street. Just a salon where you can come in, sit down, and get things sorted. We’ve been at B 64 for a long time and the neighbors all know us by now. It is just a regular local shop.
