Sai Shakti Beauty Parlour

Over at Mohan Tower on Gheekanta Road, you’ll find Sai Shakti Beauty Parlour. We are right across from the Balaji Mandir in Raopura. It’s a very busy street, always full of scooters and people walking. Being in Mohan Tower means we see a lot of foot traffic. Our parlour is just a basic room with a few chairs and a lot of mirrors. We have a little fan that spins really fast and keeps the air moving. My cousin and I run the place together. We usually get to work early to sweep the floor and get the water ready. The water pressure can be a bit low sometimes, so we keep a few buckets filled up just in case. People come in after visiting the temple or while they are out doing their shopping. We do a lot of simple things like threading and basic facials. We use standard products that you can find at the local shops. Nothing too expensive or rare. We keep a small radio on the shelf, and we usually listen to the news or some music. The floor is tiled, and some of the tiles are a bit chipped from where we dropped heavy things over the years. It’s a lived-in space. We aren't trying to impress anyone, we just want to do a good job so people come back next time. We shut the shop around eight when the market starts to quiet down.
