So thats Why Mantra's not listed on Aveda's website. What a disappointment. Mantra to not go back!!

I love Aveda and have been to many of their Concept Spa's & Salons. This one was truly a lackluster experience. I might well have gone to supercuts. When trying to make my appointment I tried calling several...

Not worth it

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...
