Newport Salon Owner Achieves National Recognition and Early Success

Nacre Hair and Beauty, a salon in Newport, has achieved national recognition just over a year after opening on March 20, 2024. Co-owned by Shalu George and Tijo Joseph, the salon won a Hair and Beauty Award in November, establishing itself as a one-stop destination for hair and beauty services.

Shalu George, who began her career in India, emphasized the importance of offering a full suite of services under one roof, which she felt was lacking in Newport. She noted the supportive community in Newport has been a significant factor in their early success.

The name 'Nacre', meaning Mother of Pearl, reflects the salon's elegant and natural approach to beauty. With a commitment to quality service and ongoing professional development, George aims to grow the brand further, leveraging Newport's accessibility for clients traveling to nearby cities.
