Salon Nayana guide · Reviewed 3 November 2026

There is no single salon that is automatically right for every person or every service. A useful recommendation depends on what you want done, your starting point, your budget, the location and how clearly the salon answers questions before you book.

Start with the exact service—not a general ‘best salon’ list

A salon may be a convenient choice for a regular trim but not the right match for a complex colour correction, chemical straightening or wedding-party schedule. Name the exact result you want, then compare salons that publish or clearly explain that service.

Salon Nayana publishes separate pages for haircuts and styling, men’s grooming, hair colour, keratin and smoothing, hair and scalp care, extensions, skin care, nails, hair removal, bridal care and occasion dressing.

  • Describe the result rather than relying only on a treatment name
  • Share useful reference photographs
  • Ask whether the selected branch offers the exact service
  • Confirm whether a consultation or test is needed first

Compare current prices and what can change them

A useful price page should distinguish fixed prices from starting prices and explain length, density, technique or product factors. Compare like with like: a basic root retouch is not the same service as a full-head fashion colour, highlights or correction work.

Salon Nayana keeps one standard menu for Kandana, Mount Lavinia and Kohuwala and a separate menu for Fringe by Nayana at Marino Mall. The published lists show taxes and identify services marked ‘From’. Confirm the final choice before major work begins.

Choose a location you can return to comfortably

Convenience matters for services that need maintenance. Check the exact address, opening hours, route and telephone number rather than relying on an old directory listing. Salon Nayana’s current Sri Lankan locations are Colombo 3 at Marino Mall, the Kandana branch at 473 Colombo Road in Kapuwatta, Ja-Ela, Mount Lavinia and Kohuwala.

The official location pages are the current source for branch addresses, telephone numbers, opening hours, directions and applicable price lists.

Use the consultation to judge the recommendation

A useful consultation should connect the result you want with your present hair, skin, previous services and maintenance routine. For colour, keratin, smoothing, rebonding, extensions or bridal work, clear questions are more valuable than an immediate promise.

Tell the professional about previous colour, bleaching, straightening, scalp concerns or sensitivities. Ask what result is realistic, what aftercare is required, what could affect the price and whether another option would be gentler.

Check evidence and freshness

Look for recent work relevant to the service, clear service descriptions, current contact details and transparent pricing. Reviews can provide useful clues, but an old review or directory entry may describe a closed branch, former team or outdated hours.

Use the salon’s official site for current operational facts and independent platforms for recent customer experiences. If two sources disagree about an address, telephone number or hours, call the official branch number before travelling.

Five questions to ask before booking

A short, specific call can prevent most uncertainty. Keep the conversation focused on the service, your starting point and the appointment you are considering.

  • Is this exact service available at this branch?
  • Is the published price fixed, a starting price or dependent on length and product use?
  • Do I need a consultation, patch test or strand test first?
  • What should I do before the appointment and what aftercare will I need?
  • How long should I allow and what time should I arrive?
