Johann Peries the stylist opened his first Salon under the name Cutting Station in 1999 on Jawatte Road. He was well received and is still patronised by some leading ladies of Colombo's elite.

Now the salon has opened its first branch at Waters Edge in Battaramulla. The salon which will operate 365 days throughout the year is ideally located overlooking the golf course.

The salon is manned by an experienced and able crew. They are trained to carry out all kinds of hair and beauty treatment at all levels.

As an additional service the salon has made available mini DVD players so that clients can bring along their own movies and watch them while they are attended to. The Waters Edge outlet is open to the public same as the one that is operated in Jawatte.

On inquiry one of the assistants said that snacks too can be ordered on request from the wide snack menu that is available at the reception counter of the Waters Edge.

Johann who has been in the hair and beauty business for over 18 years has travelled widely attending seminars and workshops around the world.

This has enabled him to train his staff better and open them up into the latest hair and beauty fashion trends globally.

He regularly briefs his staff on all the newest brands of beauty products that arrive in the market and the possibilities of using them in his salon.

"But we always prefer to use international brands on our clients to give them a better quality service" said Johann. The wide range of services available at Cutting Station includes cutting and re-styling of hair, intensive scalp treatments, straightening and re-bonding, facial and skin treatments, Pedicures and manicures, draping of the sari and attending to hair and make-up to clients who are attending functions are some from the range.
