Urban Nirvana is the best day spa in South Carolina
by maryrana
I went to Urban Nirvana last month for a Whiplash massage. The whiplash massage includes an application of paraffin over the back and special attention to the neck and back and an extended session of kneading stretching and accupressing by the massage therapist. Since it was my first visit to Urban Nirvana, I had the staff at the front desk pick someone for me. I highly recommend Kathryn. She was fabulous. Anytime you are in Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville, be sure to check out UN. They also have great products and hair salons!
- Pros: Best day spa in SC

Go to Cady...she's fantastic!
by caitykiely
I stumbled upon Urban Nirvana after a yoga class in the Windermere Plaza and am now a loyal customer with Cady. She understands her clients (well, as least me)...she just gets it! She knows how to give a girl a cut that's fun, manageable and not plain...she's a great colorist and I've actually been so pleased, I let her "play" because she always gives me a new, but natural look. I leave feeling great and the cut can be replicated the next day without the help of a stylist! As a girl seriously scarred by a bad haircut as a kid, I never thought I'd get bangs again, but Cady convinced me, gave me a glass of wine and now I LOVE my fun locks! Thanks!
- Pros: Great cut for fair price
- Cons: Still hard on the budget but you get what you pay for

Small and dark
by schulju
Urban Nirvana is extremely small with only two treatment rooms and one restroom. The "lounge" area holds two slipper chairs and it is also the lobby so it's not comfortable to relax in your spa robe when anyone can walk in off the street. I am a plus sized woman and was uncomfortable in a too small robe, there are no plus sized robes available. The shoes do not appear to be cleaned between guests, as we were instructed to return our shoes to the shelf. There are only two treatment rooms but 10 very small lockers? It would make more sense to provide larger lockers since the spa cannot accomodate that many people.
- Pros: Easy to get to
- Cons: Not great for larger women
