Sums Looki Salon

Our shop is called Sums Looki Salon and you can find us at Shop No 1 on Mint House Road in Nadesar. We are right there in the Mint House area of Varanasi. It is a busy spot but we like it that way. The shop isn't very big, but we have everything we need to do hair and skin work. We get a mix of people coming in, some locals from Nadesar and some people who are just passing through the area. Every morning we open the shutters and get the water heating up. The chairs are lined up against the wall and we keep our scissors and combs ready. Varanasi can be quite dusty, so we spend a good amount of time cleaning the glass and the floor throughout the day. We don't go for anything too complicated here. If someone wants a haircut or a clean shave, we do it. It’s a practical place. We talk to our customers about the weather or local news while we work. Mint House Road is a good location because everyone knows where it is. We have a few staff members who have been here since we opened. We just try to provide a reliable place for people to get cleaned up. It’s a simple life running a salon in Nadesar. We aren't trying to be the fanciest place in town, just a good, honest shop for the community. Sometimes we have tea together when it's slow.
