Amazing Experience!!!! – 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 tr... read more

Superb Haircut & Great Salon – 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 comfortab... read more

Hair review – 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.

Doesn't do what they say – I had a bad experience at this salon. I didn't get the service I requested and they charged me a lot more than I expected. The explanation as to why I was being charged extra for the service did not make sense. I will not go back to this salon.

Off the cycle of normal hair salons! – From the moment you walk in the door, you can see that this salon is different from others. In a small, intimate atmosphere, the owner and her staff beautify the denizens of Silicon Valley. After a long day at tthe office, the treatment and pampering which begins with a shampoo and scalp massage helps to work out the stress of the day. The wine and tea offered don't hurt either. With difficult hair such as mine, it has been difficult to find a stylist who is able to work with it as the ... read more

DISAPOINTED – The atmosphere is good HOWEVER they do not style when you just get color. They only style when you get a haircut. Come on! That is the most lamest thing. They way overcharge for a haricut so I go elsewhere for that. I walk out with wet/damp hair and can't even tell what the color looks like until later when my hair has dried all frizzy. They do charge extra if you want it styled. LAME! Just wanted to forwarn anyone that might be thinking of going there. Also, what are these messages and oils everyone is talking... read more

Business response:

Yes, we do charge extra for a blowdry when you are getting color a la carte. We provide a quick rough dry but to blowdry fully takes an additional 30 minutes and thus is offered at scheduling and charged. Blowdrys are included in haircuts. Most people who come in for color also receive haircuts and those who do not, often prefer our express color option. Blowdrys are only an additional $15 and I believe that's perfectly reasonable considering the time it takes for the stylist. I appreciate your input and we welcome you back ... read more

Wonderful First Visit, BEST HAIR COLOR – I was going to Aveda salons for years, and whenever I move, I always look for one in the area. I found one, and it was horrible experinece. So, I looked more and found NIRVANA... I recently went to Nirvana for my first visit and was very happy with the results. My stylist, Jenise, made sure she understood what I wanted done with my hair but also gave her opinion when I asked for it. She toned my hair that it wouldn't be any bassiness and I loved the hair color she recommended! I also ... read more

love love love my haircut from Raymond! – I just went and got my haircut yesterday at the Nivana Aveda Salon and I loved it! I recently moved from San Diego back up to San Jose and I've been searching and searching for a place to get my haircut. I'm totally crazy about my hair and always nervous about finding a new hairdresser. I read all the great reviews about this salon and decided to give it a try. Made an appointment and the young girl on the phone was very pleasant to speak to. Got there and was surprised to see what a... read more
