Alpes Beauty Salon

This shop is located at Shop Number 4 along Varachha Road. It’s a very hectic part of Surat, and there is always a lot of dust and noise from the vehicles passing by. We are situated right across from Ambika Vijay Society. If you live around here, you know how busy the street gets in the afternoon. The shop itself is quite small, but we have managed to fit everything we need inside. We’ve been here for many years, so the interior looks a bit lived-in. The floor has some scuffs and the paint isn't perfect, but it’s a working shop. We usually start our day by washing the front area to get rid of the road grime. Most of our customers are locals who have been living in Varachha for decades. They don’t want anything fancy; they just want to get their hair cut or their beard trimmed without any fuss. We have a small television that we keep on for background noise, mostly just news or the cricket scores. Sometimes the neighbors from the other shops come over for a chat when things are slow. It’s a simple life here on the main road. We keep the doors open most of the time to let the air in, even if it means we have to sweep more often. It is just the way we do things around here everyday to keep things going for our families.
