Vasantha is the most amazing hair stylist! After cutting my hair I don’t even need to blow dry- it’s so easy to maintain the shape. He’s amazing I can’t imagine letting anyone else touch my hair anymore! 🙂🙃🙂

Best hair dressers in all of Sri Lanka. My wife gets the best haircuts here and my family has come here for years. A lot of emphasis on a great experience including amazing products down to Aesop soap in the bathroom.

Absolutely love Niluk’s service every single time. The attention to detail, the effort that goes into the work, and how polished the final result looks always blows me away. Niluk just gets it. I’ve never been disappointed, and that consistency is rare. Highly recommend without hesitation.

Had my hair done by Nihil for a wedding and honestly one of the best blowdrys I’ve ever had. With thick, curly hair my hair often turns frizzy and puffy shortly after I leave the salon, but my hair looked smooth, shiny and healthy and lasted for days afterwards.

The hairdresser, the premises, the staff and quality of their services is if not on par is even better than any international salon.
