Unveiling Your Inner Pearl

Welcome to NACRE, a sanctuary of refined beauty nestled conveniently in the heart of Newport. More than just a salon, NACRE is a philosophy – a belief in revealing the subtle, inherent radiance within every individual.

The Visionary Behind the Brand

NACRE is the culmination of a lifelong passion for beauty, brought to life by founder Shalu George. With over 15 years gracing the worlds of feature films, television, high-fashion shoots, and magazines, Shalu built her reputation as a renowned makeup artist celebrated for her ability to enhance natural beauty, never mask it.

Her extensive experience taught her the true meaning of artistry: understanding individuality, perfecting technique, and creating looks that feel authentic and effortless. Shalu envisioned a space offering premium hair and beauty services in Newport within an environment that felt both luxurious and genuinely caring. NACRE is that vision realized.

Why NACRE? The Philosophy of Natural Radiance

The name "NACRE," meaning mother of pearl, embodies our core philosophy. Like the iridescent lining of a shell nurturing a precious pearl, we believe true beauty shines brightest when revealed naturally.

Our approach is subtle sophistication. We focus on enhancing your unique features, using expert techniques and premium products to bring forth a glow that is entirely yours. We celebrate elegance, warmth, and modern self-care that feels authentic and empowering.
