Akansha Buty Parlour

The shop is near the market in Bachhaon. It is a small place called Akansha Buty Parlour. We are right there in the Chhitauni area of Varanasi. Being near the market is good because there are always people walking by. The ladies come in after they do their shopping for vegetables. It gets crowded on market days. We have a few chairs and some mirrors. It is nothing like those big fancy salons in the city center. We just help the local women look a bit nicer. The floor needs a sweep pretty often because of the dust from the road. I usually have the radio on in the background. My neighbors stop in to chat even if they don't need anything done. Varanasi 221011 is a quiet area most of the time until the market starts up. I started this place because I wanted something of my own. It is hard work staying on your feet all day but I don't mind it much. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a bit. That is just how things are here in Bachhaon. We use simple stuff and don't charge too much. It feels like a small community inside the parlor. Most people who come here have been coming for a long time. They know where we are right by the market side. It is just a honest little business we run. I hope to keep it going for many more years as long as I can.
