“It’s not like there is something special [here that I] won’t be able to get at any other salon, but my experience here is enriching. In the end, we are all children of God and I want them to flourish.” via WMC WomenUndrSiege
“When people were helping each other with whatever resource they had, people from our community were mostly sidelined,” said Pasha, drinking his usual green tea and surveying the salon. He and his friends organized food drives and financial assistance to assist the trans community during the pandemic, and opened the salon to create a safe haven “where people don’t see us like aliens or bad omens but like normal human beings.” The salon, Pasha says, is open to everyone irrespective of any gender.
The salon now employs six staff, all of whom receive training in Mumbai before starting at the salon. Pasha says the goal, in fact, is for them to move on to better opportunities, or to start their own businesses after leaving La Beauté & Style. “That’s why I get them trained from the best possible places in Mumbai,” he said. “It will be a victory for me.”At 22, Manu is the youngest staff member at the salon.
