Sanyo Ladies & Gents Beauty Parlour

Down on Gendigate Road in Mandvi, we’ve got our little spot called Sanyo Ladies & Gents Beauty Parlour. It’s a busy part of Vadodara, and there is always noise from the street coming through the door. We handle both men and women here, which keeps things interesting. One minute I’m trimming a beard and the next I’m helping someone with their hair color. The shop has been in this area for a long time. Everything inside is pretty basic. We have the usual chairs, some old cupboards for the towels, and mirrors that have seen better days but still work fine. It gets quite crowded on weekends when everyone wants to look decent for a wedding or a party. I usually have tea delivered from the stall nearby twice a day. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so I’m always sweeping. It’s hard work, and my back usually aches by the time I lock up at night. Mandvi is a hectic place to be, but we like the energy. You see all sorts of people walking past the Gendigate area. Some stop in just to ask for directions, and others have been coming to us for years. We don’t do anything fancy, just the regular cuts and shaves that people need. It’s a straightforward business and we just try to keep things moving along every day without too much fuss.
