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.

StyleSpeak, inspired by the exquisite design of this salon, decided to feature it in the ‘Elite Salon’ category for its interiors.
