Galexy Beauty Parler

Galexy Beauty Parler is located in the Lanka area of Varanasi, near Sankat Mochan. Being in Varanasi means there are always people walking by and a lot of energy in the air. The shop is at a spot where you can see the city moving. We’ve been here for a good while and the walls could probably tell a lot of stories. The spelling of "Parler" on our sign is a bit different but that's just how we've always had it. Inside, it’s a bit cramped but we have a rhythm that works. We have a few basins for washing hair and some old style drying hoods. Most of the people who come in are students or locals who live in the nearby lanes. It gets very hot in the summer, so we have a big ceiling fan that rattles a little bit. We keep our supplies in a metal cupboard in the corner. Sometimes we run out of certain pins or threads and have to send someone to the market quickly. It’s a friendly place where people talk about their families while they wait. We don't really have a boss-employee vibe, it’s more like a family. The floor is concrete and easy to sweep. We don't have any fancy brochures to show people. They just tell us what they want and we do it.
