Story of Salon Nayagara

Here is the content with those three points highlighted: Salon Nayagara was founded in 2007 in Modara, Colombo — born from one woman's unstoppable passion for beauty and a determination to bring world-class artistry to Sri Lanka. What began as a single-chair salon has grown into a multi-location beauty destination, operating across Kotahena and Wellawatte in Colombo, and internationally in Chennai, India. Since establishing its training academy in 2008, Salon Nayagara has shaped the careers of hundreds of beauty professionals across the island, offering internationally recognised qualifications through City & Guilds UK and IHS. Today, the salon stands as a benchmark of excellence in Sri Lankan bridal beauty — not just through its awards and accolades, but through the lasting confidence it gives every client and student who walks through its doors.
