I went in to get a cut and have my color refreshed. I had a medium red brown over dark color hair that I had done at a cheaper salon. I wanted a better cut and better color so I came here, where the price is over twice what I paid at the cheaper salon. I said I wanted a slightly lighter color and asked what my options were. The stylist said that highlights would be better than applying color all over, so I said fine. We did not discuss the color of the highlights. I have had highlights done dozens of times before and I was not concerned. Well, imagine my surprise when I find out that the top of my head is 85% platinum blond. It looks very unnatural. I imagine a punk rocker might like this look but I am an older woman and I most definitely do not like it. Furthermore, the stylist gave no indication that she was going to make such a dramatic change. The stylist herself had the most bland hairstyle - long brown hair (which looked nice but none the less was extremely conservative). I went here because I thought by paying more I would get better results but all I did was throw my money done the drain *AND* I got much worse results than I've gotten anywhere else.
Pros: nice atmosphere
Cons: poor quality of results

In the past 8 months I have had spa treatments at The Sanctuary Hotel on Kiawah Island, The Ritz Carlton Hotel on Amelia Island, FL and at Urban Nirvana. It's unbelievable how much better the aesthetician was at Urban Nirvana compared to those at the so called 5 star hotels!! Don't even get me started about the difference in cost! It's a great experience and a great location. Enjoy Charleston! Kat
Pros: great treatments, superb staff
Cons: small space

I highly suggest Urban Nirvana. While it is pricy, the staff was friendly and I felt very comfortable there. I felt that my money was well spent. I have never felt as relaxed as I did when my massage was over. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful and the staff try very hard to cater to you every need and want. You'll love it there!
Pros: Great staff, Peaceful atmosphere
Cons: High prices
