Preet Beauty Parlour

Over at Choksi Square on the Old Bus Depot Road in Padra, you will find Preet Beauty Parlour. It is a very familiar spot for the ladies living around here. Since we are near the old bus stand, there is always a lot of movement outside, with buses coming and going and people rushing to catch their rides. Our shop is small, but we have made the most of the space we have. It is the kind of place where you can come in with your grocery bags and sit down for a quick eyebrow threading or a hair oiling session. We don't use any big words or try to sell you things you do not need. Most of our customers are just local housewives or girls from the nearby college who want to look nice without spending too much time or money. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the chairs are a bit squeaky, but they work just fine. In the evenings, it gets quite crowded, and the air gets thick with the smell of talcum powder and hair spray. We usually have the local news playing on a small TV, and everyone ends up talking about the price of vegetables or a new wedding in the street. It is just a normal local parlour where we treat people like neighbors because that is exactly what they are to us.
