Sree Beauty Parlour

Our little parlor is on Kancharapalem Main Road in Visakhapatnam. The address is Door No 56-1-54, and we are right opposite Kala Enterprises. It’s a busy road with a lot of buses and bikes going past all day. I started Sree Beauty Parlour because I wanted a place of my own after working for other people for years. The shop is small, but I’ve decorated it with some pictures and small plants to make it feel more welcoming. I do everything myself, from hair to skin stuff, so if I’m busy, people just have to wait on the bench inside or come back later. Most of my customers are women who work in the offices nearby or live in the houses behind the main road. We talk about our kids or what’s for dinner while I work. Sometimes the tap in the back leaks a bit, but I just put a bucket under it until my brother can come fix it. It’s not a fancy spa or anything like that. It’s just a place where you can get your eyebrows done or a haircut for a fair price. I try to stay open late because a lot of women can’t get away from home until the evening. It’s hard work being on my feet all day, but I like being my own boss. It feels good to have a shop in Kancharapalem.
