“Primrose Women’s World” a beauty salon for women was opened, in a room of Amali’s home in 1986 at Mirihana junction in Nugegoda. Amali also undertook cake structures, poruwa & hall decor in addition to bridal dressing, & bouquets/hair styling/hair cutting/dressing for occasions.
As a result of the increased demand the salon was shifted to a more spacious
location opposite the jubilee post junction in 1990.
In 1994 Amali contributed to the Nawaliya women’s weekly paper on
bridal dressing & allied subjects. In the mean time Amali received
training in Thailand & Singapore. Her daughter Chathurika joined her
in 2000. She obtained qualifications in Singapore, Thailand & India.
It was felt that another branch should be opened in Colombo to cater to a wider cliental. The first lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa who patronized the Salon from its inception opened the new salon at Longden place Colombo 7 on August 2005. The former High commissioner for India Mrs. Nirupama Rao & the wife of the Netherland ambassador graced the occasion as Guests of Honour. With the opening of the second branch the name of the salon was changed to Salon Amali Jayawardana. The salons are patronized by ladies all walks of life including VIP patronage.
