Alekhya Beauty Parlour

It's been a while since we opened Alekhya Beauty Parlour here on the Main Road in Gopalapatnam. Living and working in Visakhapatnam means dealing with the heat and humidity all the time, which is why people stop by. We aren't a big fancy place, just a small shop at 6-87/3 where we handle haircuts and threading. Most days are busy with regulars from the neighborhood. It gets loud sometimes when everyone is talking at once, but that is how it goes here. We see a lot of students and office workers coming in before or after their shifts. The chairs are old but comfortable enough for a quick trim. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just wait it out with the door open to catch the breeze from the road. Working here feels like being part of the local market life. We don't have a big staff, so it’s usually just us keeping things moving. People know where to find us near the main junction. It is simple work, really. We keep the mirrors clean and the floor swept as much as possible between customers. If someone wants a basic facial or just their hair done for a local wedding, they come over. We don't do anything too complicated. It's just a regular spot for regular people in Vizag. We've seen kids grow up and start coming in on their own now. That’s just how time passes at the parlour every single day.
