I was a first timer here a few months back, and after reading over the stylists strong points, chose Christine to help shape my very fine just-past-my-shoulders straight hair. First of all, despite the small size of Nirvana, they are super attentive, and make you feel pampered (can't beat the complimentary wine/beer/champagne!), and I wasn't left waiting long at all. Christine was right on time, introduced herself, and def. took time in finding out what type of style I was seeking, as well as how much work I wanted to put into it! And she took the time to listen to all my rantings, wants, needs, etc. :-)\r

Overall, she did a great job---and this is nothing on ""her,"" but I wish I would've gone a bit shorter, but b/c of my concern over my straight hair flipping out at the bottom in wierd directions, we went a bit longer and it wasn't completely off my neck. I still loved it, but ended up going to another salon a few weeks later to get it totally off my neckline (a nice more extreme angular cut). Now that I'm over my fear, I'd love to re-visit Christine, and tell her to ""take it all off!"" I'll be in need of a trim again soon, and will def. let her do her work, and not be afraid of going short. The only drawback was that the back room where Christine's station was, was super hot and stuffy (but they were very accomodating when I asked for a bit of AC!).
Pros: complimentary beverages (beer/wine/champagne), attentive stylists, parking, great specials
Cons: little small/cramped, tad bit pricey
