Shaman Beauty College Salon

Shaman Beauty College Salon is tucked away on Lakshman Mudaliar Street, which is a side street off the main Commercial Street area. We are in Pradeep Plaza at number 62, on the second floor above the Bata showroom. Being near Commercial Street means it is always incredibly crowded outside. There are shoppers everywhere and the noise is constant. Since this is also a college, we have students around who are learning the trade. The space is divided up so there’s room for practicing and room for regular customers. It’s a bit of a mix of a classroom and a workspace. The floors are hard and there’s always a bit of hair or powder around because so many people are working at once. I try to keep things in order, but with students, it’s always a bit chaotic. We have rows of mirrors and plenty of chairs. The air gets a bit thick with the smell of hair products sometimes, so we keep the fans going at full speed. People come in looking for a cheaper option because the students need to practice, but I’m always there watching over them. It’s a busy, loud place, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. I’ve been here for a while and I’ve seen many people come through these doors to learn and move on.
