My career spanning 29 years in the hair and beauty industry began in Colombo, Sri Lanka, inspired by my sisters' successful salon ventures. Seeking growth as a hairstylist, I joined my family's salon business in Arlington to finally open my own at Sola Salon Studios. I specialize in highlights, coloring, balayage and short haircuts, building a loyal clientele. Prior to that, I honed my skills in salon management at the prestigious Franck Provost salons, overseeing a team of stylists, and participated in numerous fashion shows across Europe. From my early days as an assistant to now being a salon owner at Sola Salon Studios, I consistently pursued professional development, including annual attendance at the New York Hair Show, and training with international stylists in Dubai and Europe. I look forward to opening Le Petit Salon in 2023.
