At the suggestion of a friend, I tried out Mantra. The spa itself is gorgeous, but the staff is inexperienced and unprofessional. The owner is great, but the other hair stylists are very young, and could use a few more years of experience before being brought on as stylists in such an ""upscale"" salon in Carmel. I agree with other reviewers on here that the end results were not worth the price. I got a couple of hair cuts and highlights with one stylists, and each time her quality got worse. The last time I went to the salon, I left with ""skunk"" highlights that looked worse than self-box dying. On top of that, the stylist could not do a blow-dry to save her life, and I always left with my hair wet or half dry, which turned into a frizzy mess the minute I stepped out of the salon.
Pros: beautiful location, gorgeous salon
Cons: horrible, inexperienced staff
