Started by one woman, sustained by thousands
Aaina has been part of Govanhill for 25+ years — long enough for three generations of the same families to sit in our chairs.

The woman behind the chair
Neepa trained at beauty school in India and opened Aaina in 1998, on Allison Street in Govanhill. The salon moved across the road to Cathcart Road in 2011 and has been there since. 25+ years on, she still runs it with her team.
One of her oldest friends has been coming for years, along with the friend’s mum, her mother-in-law, her sister-in-law, her kids, and her nieces and nephews. Lately their kids have started coming in as well. Most people find Aaina the same way — someone in the family already comes here.
Come and say helloBeauty, the Aaina way
Trust, not reach
We grew on word of mouth. Most of our clients have been coming for years.
For our community
Beauty that understands South Asian skin, hair and the occasions that matter.
All under one roof
Beauty, bridal and jewellery in one place — nowhere else in Govanhill does all three.
