Valaji Beauty Parlour

Valaji Beauty Parlour is actually run out of Shivani Flats, specifically at number 2. We are in the Harinagar area of Vadodara. Since it’s in a residential flat, it feels much more like a home than a cold commercial shop. We have lived in this area for a long time, so most of our customers are also our neighbors or friends of friends. It’s a small operation, really. We mainly focus on the basics like hair cutting, coloring, and threading. There isn't a big sign outside, so you just have to know which flat to come to. We prefer it this way because it stays peaceful. I started this parlour because I wanted to work while staying close to home. The rooms are set up with mirrors and the necessary chairs, and we keep things very simple. We don't have fancy uniforms or a reception desk. Usually, someone just knocks on the door and we get to work. During wedding seasons, it gets quite hectic and the living room area gets full of people waiting. But usually, it’s just one or two people at a time. We use the same stuff we would use on ourselves. It's an honest way to make a living and we enjoy the company of the people who visit us. We’ve been part of this Harinagar community for years and plan to stay here as long as we can. It's just a quiet little place for regular beauty needs.
