Sonal Beauty Parlour & Classes

We’ve been here at C.G-1, Mother House for a good while now. Hira Baug is a busy part of Surat, especially with all the traffic on Varachha Road. Most days, Sonal Beauty Parlour & Classes feels like a second home to us. I usually get here a bit early to get the keys turned and the lights on. It’s a bit dusty because of all the construction nearby, but we keep it clean as best we can. The students for our classes start arriving soon after. They are mostly local girls from around Varachha. We sit, have a quick chat, and then get to work. It’s not a fancy corporate office or anything like that. It’s just a regular shop where people come to get their hair done or learn a new skill. The Mother House building has its own rhythm. You hear the sounds of the street all day long. Sometimes it’s loud, but you get used to it. We don't really do big advertisements. People just know we are here in Hira Baug. It’s nice when a regular walks in just for a chat while they wait. We try to keep things simple and practical. The afternoons can be long when it's hot outside, but the work keeps us moving. By the time the sun goes down, we’re tired but it’s a good kind of tired. It’s just how things are here in this corner of Surat.
