Hansika Beauty Parlour

Hansika Beauty Parlour is over in the Punagam area of Surat, inside the Sarthi Heights building. Our shop is number G-5 and sits right on the main road. We are very close to the canal, or the Naher, as most people around here call it. We have been running this shop for a while now. It is just a small, simple space where we provide beauty and hair services for the local women. Because we are on the main road, it can be quite noisy with all the traffic passing by, but we have gotten used to it. Inside, we keep things very basic and functional. We have a few chairs and the standard tools we need for haircuts, threading, or facials. Most of our regular customers come from the apartments right here in Sarthi Heights or from the nearby houses. We don't do anything overly complicated or fancy. It’s just a normal neighborhood parlour where people can feel comfortable. We know most of the people who come in by their names. It is a friendly atmosphere and we often chat about local things while we work. Sometimes we run low on supplies and have to wait a day for more to arrive, but we manage somehow. Running a small business in this part of Surat takes effort, but we enjoy it. We aren't trying to be famous or the biggest shop. We just want to do a decent job for our neighbors near the Naher so they keep coming back.
