Kess salon; the Sri Lankan haven for perfect hair is a hair beautifying entity thriving off the energy and creative expertise of Vasantha de Silva, a stylist of eminence. Kess being defined as the ultimate experience for hair care and styling, Vasantha declared that their mission is successful because they focus heavily on one main aspect of the beauty and image industry. “....Style is all about being simple, sexy and individual.” Vasantha guided us through his stations, extruding all its unique design elements.
Proving great names and great game go together, the original conceptual designer for Kess salons much reputed interior design was none other than the Sri Lankan trademark of design for the last four decades, Geffory Bawa. Kess salon though being renovated to its current state of admiration by Saharan and being moved to a more feasible location over the years still holds true to the geometric alignment and cubist influences of the Bauhaus movement. Its warehouse setting of rustic cement, etched iron cables and studded mirrors with polite comfort accessorizing makes the salon itself an original work of art. The concept of privacy is also given much significance in the layout of the space, ensuring customer comfort and discretion. From a designers perspective one could say that Vasantha and Kess existed simultaneously and in juxta position; from the product to the space, everything was very retro and woven around the story of the artist himself.
The space is made memorable mostly due to its retroactive colors, shapes and textures. The neutral palette is highlighted in selective areas by bright blush reds, giving the space an entertaining and animated vibe. Every single piece of furniture is branded wear and has the material application of that era. From the Heavy wood framed mirrors the designer has captured the modern trend of creating broken and edgy reflections across the space, also using this design property to merge the interiors and exterior of the space creating spectacular views and illusions. The lighting has been cast to make the space feel like a runway, making anyone feel their most glamorous and fashionable. Signature accent pieces have been carefully placed throughout the interiors, there materials complimenting the space and its function. For all design crazed minds out there, Kess salon has truly established what concept, style and end design is. This is probably one of the only spaces in Sri Lanka to house an Eero Aarnio bubble chair, also originally designed in the late sixties.
Kess Salon has expanded their horizons by being in the media eye consistently with positive reviews. They play a large role in the annual Miss Sri Lanka contests and other major fashion event, recently having collected a number of stylist awards at hair sport. Manicures and Pedicures become part of the treat as the company has founded “Skin” a complexion and over all skin beautifying therapy center. Complete Casa de spa treatment, Therapists with International Expertise and equipped with only the most current and top of the line equipment enable them to provide hundred percent customer satisfactions and a total beauty package. Since of late, Vasantha has another dream that will raise the standards of Sri Lankan hair styling and place us in the international arena; the professional mastermind would like to reach into the educational sector of hair treatment, styling and self branding. We here at the top property team wish him all the very best.
As to how Kess has branded itself as Sri Lankas leading hair specialists there is no doubt. By being the only salon in Sri Lanka to offer the best hair treatment product range Nexus, having an exceptional team of solid stylists, all who have been trained by Vasantha from foundation level and by having a patron celebrity clientele Kess has maintained its number one status in the island. Kess is also accessible to a diverse demographic though it has a reputation of catering to the crème de la crème of society. One cannot put a price on the perfect service received at Kess and many are willing to pay the rate to have their tresses styled here as the results are extraordinary and long lasting. There are over fifteen stylists who work diligently at keeping up with Vasantha and his trademark and one can easily book an appointment with these well trained hands for a reasonable rate. Getting Vasantha to address your hair is the pricy deal here, as well it should be; Good things never come cheap and Vasantha de Silva takes what’s good and creates Venus and Adonis with it. From the very first time the man touches your hair to the perfect clean trim finish, you will feel like divinity, experiencing something beau Ideal, paragon and unparallel.
