Ashna Beauty Parlour

Ashna Beauty Parlour is over in Varanasi, specifically in the Asthabhuji Mandi area on Shivpur Road. It is a lively part of town. We are right there where all the market activity happens. It gets pretty crowded around here, especially in the mornings when the vendors are setting up. We’ve been in this spot for some time. The shop isn't very big, but it serves the purpose. We do threading, hair cutting, and the basic things most women in the area look for. Usually, it is just us working through the list of people who stop by. Some days are very busy, other days we just sit and wait for the afternoon rush. Shivpur Road has changed a lot over the years, but our little corner remains pretty much the same. We know most of the shopkeepers nearby. It’s the kind of place where you can hear the traffic and the bells from the temple while you work. We don’t have any big signs or flashy lights. People just know where we are. It’s practical work. We use standard products and keep things as clean as we can. It’s hard work being on your feet all day, but that’s just how it is. We appreciate the regulars who have been coming to us since we opened. There is a sense of community in this part of Varanasi that you don't find everywhere. It gets loud but we are used to it and just keep moving.
