Nirvana Aveda Concept Salon

After going to the same hairdresser for over 9 years, I needed a change. My long, thick and layerd hair always felt heavy. Reading through the hairdresser bios on Nirvana's website, I chose Christine. I was impressed: Christine is sweet, attentive and detail-oriented; she knew exactly how to give my long layers lift and pizzazz. She takes her time to dry and meticulously style my hair-and I have A LOT of hair; I have never felt rushed through an appointment with her. I'm going back for my third haircut with Christine this week and plan to be a long-time client.

I have been really confused with my hair for the past couple years so I was really nervous about coming into the salon for another change. Going to NIRVANA was the best decision I have made when it comes to my hair, I was greeted right away and offered something to drink (I got the iced tea which i recommend) My stylist Janis brought me over to her station and started to help me brain storm some ideas for what to do with my hair, she recommended doing something called a "Combo Color" which is a all over color and hilites, and I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with the outcome of of my hair, I have never felt 100% happy with my color, but Janis has really made me LOVE my hair. The bonus with my service was the hand massage and scalp massage! I will be visiting NIRVANA again very soon!

I was very impressed with the Nirvana Salon in Los Gatos. I selected senior stylist Kayla and won't be going back to the other stylist in Los Gatos who I have been going to for the last 8+ years. I was looking for a new style that would work well for my hair type and lifestyle (both a mom and a professional). Kayla did a fantanstic job describing the styling process so I could duplicate it at home and gently recommended Aveda products without being pushy. The salon was quite small but comfortable. I will be going back again and highly recommending both the salon and Kayla to my friends and family. Thank you for a great haircut!

I have been going to Nirvana for almost a year now. I must say, I cannot get enough. I have many years working in the salon industry and I even worked for Aveda for several years. I know the product and I know the philosophy. Many salons say they are Aveda but they don't do the Aveda services the way they are supposed to. Nirvana does! When you go expect a fully pampered experience.

I would like to add that Raymond is beyond exceptional. I have very thick curly hair and he fully gets it. His scalp treatments are decadent. His cuts are creative and up to date. He always takes the extra time to make sure each hair is in perfectly in place. His color is the best I have ever had! His styling has always brought me a wealth of compliments. The icing on the cake though is that he has an amazing spirit and is so much fun to hang out with. If you can't get into him because I am hogging all of his appointments the whole staff is excellent as well.

This salon has good guest service, good tea and Aveda products are nice. In terms of actually working on your hair, the quality of service is uneven. I tried this salon several times because of the high ratings on this site but I haven't been happy.
