Honey Ladies Beauty Parlour

If you know Varanasi, you know how crowded Khojwa Bazar can get. We are right there in the Dashmi area. It's a small place, maybe smaller than most people expect when they hear the name. We opened it because there wasn't much for the ladies right in this specific lane. The walls are painted a light color, but the steam from the facial machine makes them look a bit damp sometimes. We have a lot of local women coming in after they finish their housework. It’s a time for them to sit down and talk about what’s happening in the neighborhood. We do threading, some hair coloring, and basic facials. Nothing that takes too long because everyone is always in a hurry to get back to their kids or the kitchen. During the wedding months, it gets really loud and messy with all the glitter and hairpins everywhere. We keep our supplies in plastic bins under the counter. The fan makes a clicking noise on high speed, but we got used to it years ago. Sometimes the tea seller from across the street brings us a few cups when we are too busy to go out. It’s just a regular local parlour where we know most of our customers by their first names. We don't have fancy lights or big signs, just a simple door that stays open most of the day for whoever needs us.
