Cinderella The Beauty Shop

This shop is located on the Main Road right at the Main Chowk near Kashmir University in Srinagar. Being so close to the university means we see a lot of young students every single day. Cinderella The Beauty Shop is a small place packed with different kinds of bottles, creams, and makeup items. The shelves are a bit crowded because we try to keep a bit of everything that people ask for. When the weather gets cold in Srinagar, which happens a lot, the shop feels a bit cramped but warm. We don't have a lot of space for people to lounge around. Most customers come in knowing exactly what they need, buy it, and head back out to their classes or homes. The glass on the front door has a few scratches on it from years of people pushing it open. We try to keep the displays organized, but sometimes things get shuffled around when it’s busy. The floor is just simple concrete that we sweep every couple of hours to keep it clean. There is no background music here, just the sound of the traffic from the chowk and the students chatting outside. It’s a very basic retail spot. We don't do anything fancy with the packaging; we just put things in a simple bag and say goodbye. It’s a practical little shop for the neighborhood students and people who live nearby in this area.
