Modern Salon Furniture established 5 years ago specializes in the manufacturing of salon furniture which include salon cutting chairs, facial couches and beds, trolleys, cosmetic racks and washing beds etc., all of which are standard furniture items used in all modern salons. The company currently has a factory and showroom located in Negombo in addition to a second showroom located at Nugegoda. The Sunday Times Supplements desk spoke to Mr. Sujeewa Palitharatne the Managing Director of Modern Salon Furniture to find out more about the products that they offer.
"As salon furniture is quite expensive I wanted to provide affordable salon furniture to our local market. Currently 90% of salon chairs are imported and therefore 100% locally manufactured salon furniture is quite rare. The salon furniture that we provide has gone through extensive research which I have conducted on my own. Initially my target market was those customers located in the outstation areas as these market segments include small time entrepreneurs who want to begin businesses on limited budgets", says Mr. Palitharatne.
According to Mr. Palitharatne to find skilled staff for this kind of manufacturing business has been one of the main difficulties he has had to face.
Through his determination however he has been able to capture quite a large customer base which includes many leading salons throughout the country. All products offered by the company come backed with a one year manufacturing guarantee and can be customized to suit the varied requirements of customers.
"All our salon furniture items are modified periodically to suit the requirements of the industry and to be in par with international standards. Customers who purchase the entire range of salon furniture from us are entitled to a 20% discount when replacing our furniture after 3 years", further stated Mr. Palitharatna.
The company has an island wide train distribution network and charges a very minimum rate of Rs. 200/- as distribution charges for any location in the island where train services are operational.
According to Mr. Palitharatna, many salon owners and staff do not have proper knowledge on the after care and proper usage of salon furniture which therefore can lead to problems and complications when using such furniture. In order to provide a solution to this problem Mr. Palitharatne hopes to conduct a special workshop and exhibition in the near future in order to educate individuals in this regard. The exhibition will also include stalls from wholesalers who supply other salon related equipment for the benefit of salon owners. Also the latest salon equipments are available for those interested at the company's showroom. (No. 134/3, SDS Jayasinghe Mawatha Nugegoda.)
