Opulence at Play Salon

The design concept evolves from an eclectic thought process which has been given form at the Play Salon at Mantri Mall.Spreadacross 3000 sq. feet, this elite salon is based in the heart of Bengaluru and offers services to its chic and famous clientele. Hence, its design is meant to speak luxury in every section of the salon. The harmonious blend of straight lines in the design with ornate and opulent forms of various elements in the space was to create a unique atmosphere of grand opulence and a regal feeling for the people stepping into the space – a feeling of transformation from the hustle and bustle of life and the shopping frenzy. StyleSpeak, inspired by the exquisite design of this salon, decided to feature it in the ‘Elite Salon’ category for its interiors.

With the Breast cancer awareness month (October) almost drawing to a feeble closure, it still seems that a lot of ground needs to be covered when it comes to even waking up youngsters to the risks, let alone creating awareness. Recognizing this evident gap in the outreach of various breast cancer awareness programs, Play Salon announces a unique program titled Pink Streak. As part of this special program, customers can get themselves a trendy pink colored streak on their hair at a nominal cost of just Rupees 400/- and three quarters of the funds gathered from the proceedings would be used in support of cancer awareness programs and treatments for the underprivileged.

Despite breast cancer figuring among the most dreaded and most prevalent cases of death worldwide, awareness levels among youngsters especially between 20-35 years old, is yet to catch up in India.  We believe youngsters are the asset of any nation, naturally the ones that are seen and heard the most. It therefore makes perfect sense if youngsters take on the responsibility to aggressively drive awareness on Breast Cancer. And in our efforts to encourage youngsters with a trendy idea, we launched the Pink Streak Campaign, to create a trend where it’s Fashionable to be Responsible.

The streaks come in the form of a pink coloured hair like material, which looks and feels like natural hair and can be easily snipped off whenever one feels like, without damaging or in any way altering existing hair.
One in ten of all new cancers diagnosed worldwide each year is  a cancer of the female breast, and it is the most common cancer in women in both developing and developed areas. It is also the principal cause of death from cancer among women globally. Nearly 1 in 4 women globally with cancer, have breast cancer, and half of them live in highly developed countries. In India over 70% of the cases are diagnosed only in the 3rd-4th stage and this factor brings down the survivability drastically.

To get yourself a Pink Streak and express your support for the cause, call 080 22667070/71, or walk in to Play Salon, S-17,18, 2nd Floor, Mantri Square, # 1, Sampige Road, Bangalore.

Times have changed.

The classic definitions of a Salon has grown beyond the conventional realms of style and couture. It has come to represent  a place that emphasizes on elegance and individuality, and taking imaginative leaps to give your customers more than what they thought was possible with their prime areas that define physical appearance – hair and skin.

It is also about warmth, professionalism and savoir-fare that has existed right from the first rudimentary ‘hair-cutting salons’ that still have not lost its importance or respect in even the smallest unit of our social structures.

Salons are no more about chops, crops and lanky non-styles – these times are about wearing appearances that reflect what you are inside – sassy, saucy and spunky.

It’ s time you had the Play Experience!

It is still about warmth, professionalism and savoire-fare that has existed right from the first rudimentary ‘hair-cutting salons’ that have not lost its importance or respect in even the smallest unit of our social structures. The basic requirement of a ‘barber’ is still a necessity in the daily scheme of life in any social structure. If you have ever been to one in any of the charming hamlets of our country, you know exactly what we mean. If you haven’t, we highly recommend you do that, at least once, to understand that a salon still is a place to forge relationships, nurture social values and express your independent views on anything under the Sun !

Though the scope, sophistication and techniques have improved and diversified, the essential spirit and values of them still remain, and Play Salon warmly acknowledges its high standards of service and panache to that humble chair that spelled simple comfort, and that pair of scissors that spelled trust.
