Archies Herbal Beauty Parlour

Archies Herbal Beauty Parlour is located at 4/1895 in Mumbai Vad, which is part of the Begumpura area. We are right across from the Trayambakeshwar Mahadev temple. I really like being near the temple because you can hear the bells and the prayers throughout the day. It makes the shop feel very peaceful. As the name says, I prefer using herbal products. I’ve always felt that natural things are better for the skin and hair. I’ve been in Begumpura for a long time and I know almost everyone on this street. The shop itself is quite old. It has high ceilings and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it’s comfortable. I don't have a big team of people. It's usually just me. I do everything from threading to herbal facials. The space is a bit tight, especially when we have a few people waiting. We just put out some plastic stools and everyone chats. It’s a very social place. Sometimes people just stop by to say hello even if they don’t need anything done. I don't use any of those fancy machines. I rely on my hands and the knowledge I’ve picked up over the years. Begumpura is a busy part of Surat, but my little corner feels like home. It’s a simple business. I just try to do a decent job every day and keep my customers happy.
