Jignasa Beauty Parlour

Jignasa Beauty Parlour is up on the second floor of House Number 2 in the housing society. We are right across from the Panchavati Apartments in Nana Varaccha. You have to walk up the stairs to get to us since we are not on the ground level. The view from the balcony looks out over the Nana Varaccha Road which is always loud with scooters and cars. Inside, the walls are a light color and we have a few stations set up with mirrors. We spend a lot of time organizing the threads, waxes, and hair pins. It’s a quiet space compared to the street below. We get a lot of local women who live in the society or nearby. Sometimes they bring their kids along who sit on the small bench we have. We keep a bucket and some sponges ready for cleaning up the stations. The floor is tile, so it’s easy to keep tidy after a busy afternoon. We have a small cupboard where we store the capes and clean towels. It gets a bit warm in the summer but the ceiling fans keep the air moving okay enough. We’ve been at this location for some time now and know the rhythms of the street. Usually, the mornings are slower and then it picks up after lunch. We just keep our tools sharp and our hands busy. There isn't any fancy decor, just the basic things we need to do our work properly every day.
