Jimmy Beauty Parlour

Jimmy Beauty Parlour is located in Kriplani Market, which sits right on the Main Road in Varanasi. If you have ever been to this part of town, you know the 221001 zip code is always moving with people and vehicles. Our shop is tucked into the market among many other small stores. It is a bit of a tight squeeze inside, but we make it work for everyone who comes in. We have the usual tools, some scissors, combs, and the hair dryers that make a lot of noise. The floors are tiled but they get covered in hair pretty fast, so someone is always sweeping with a small broom. Being on the Main Road means we get a lot of dust and noise from the buses, but it also means people find us easily. We open the doors early and stay until the market starts to quiet down at night. Most of our regulars are people who have been living in Varanasi for decades. They come in and tell us about their families while we work. We don't have any big flashy lights, just a few tubelights that flicker sometimes. It’s just a regular place in Kriplani Market where we spend our whole day. We take care of the basic grooming needs without making a big deal out of it. It is just our way of earning a living in this busy city. We hope to stay here for many more years.
