Vee is an excellent hair stylist. Great with cuts, does awesome color. On top of that he's an interesting person to talk to about the Navajo heritage and culture. He has a shop in front with quirky gifts that are cute and affordable. read more

Always a wonderful experience with a very kind, relaxed, and affordable stylist. I've always been beyond happy with the results of Vee's artistry, and professionalism. I've also taken advantage of some of his newer services and enjoyed both a Reflexology treatment, and a facial recently. Both fantastic. I've even been moved to help him in his yearly ventures in feeding the homeless and giving back to the community. I'll continue to get my hair done at Hair Nirvana, for as long as I live in AZ! read more

This is Zan- Janet's wife. I just got back from getting my hair done with Vee at Hair Nirvana. After much dread in trying to find a stylist I can trust out here in Scottsdale, I can happily say; I found him! When I first found him here on Yelp, after pages and pages of stereotypical "Scottsdale Salons," I knew I had found something special. The salon itself is also a store, filled with organic hair products, fair trade products- many handmade by refugee Tibetan monks, products handcrafted by Native Americans he knows and purchases from directly, and more. It's a beautiful little shop, and my wife Janet- who is an SGI Buddhist- enjoyed browsing while Vee tended to my hair. Now, I'm painfully shy and socially awkward, and I always dread having to find someone new to do my hair- but the moment I walked in and Vee greeted me, I felt at ease. Perhaps a little too much, as my nerdy rambling quickly took over the conversation. He's a genuine, friendly guy that can make you feel as if you've known him for years. I could totally picture him hanging out with my motley crew of friends and fitting right in with us weirdos (in a good way). That aside, I went in only for a cut... but he had a fantastic deal on touching up my highlights, I simply had to take advantage of it. My hair looks fantastic, smells even better, and I look 10 years younger. The fact that he is such a stickler for natural, organic and sulfate free products makes me respect and like him even more. I hate having my photo taken, but wanted to include a photo of how great my hair looks, anyway. That's how much I love what he did. He truly listened to exactly what I wanted, and did exactly as I asked- but made it look even better than I had pictured it in my head. A win-win. I'll be back to Vee from now on... I am a new, loyal client. Thanks, Vee! read more

Never has my hair been in better hands! Just when I thought my hair couldn't look any better, I am always so pleased to learn that yes, as a matter of fact it does every single time I leave Hair Nirvana. Vee is a master at his craft! After sharing with Vee (My Hair Stylist) my traumatizing story of hair disasters, I saw Vee listening attentively to every word I said. I explained that since my hair had to be cut so short last time from a previous Stylist's disaster approximately 6 years ago because an undisclosed Stylist was not being extremely careful to lift my hair color from mousy brown to blond! And so Vee and I's journey began about 6 years ago. Vee, my Stylist really listened attentively and saw my vision of having beautiful long, silky, golden blond hair (as Vee has achieved). This vision has come true with Vee's patience, and understanding that each strand of my hair must be treated ever so delicately, because it takes years to grow back, so I have no room for error. Hair Nirvana has a mysterious Zenlike feel to it! When you walk in you are transcended to a world where your troubles do simply melt away! He has a television that constantly shows beautiful nature scenes along with super relaxing music played at just the right volume. You can choose to chat with him about anything you can think of or merely close your eyes and truly escape the hustle and bustle just outside. I can't say enough how absolutely thrilled I am to have Vee as my Hairtstylist! Today, I can't stop being thankful enough for the beautiful, long, silky, healthy, shiny blond hair I have and I have only Vee to thank for that! And the compliments, wow, everyone is in awe of my gorgeous locks! Thanks a million Vee for making my life that much better now that I absolutely love my hair!!! I seriously have no bad hair days! Just great ones! read more

I can't imagine a more fulfilling place to get one's hair done. Setting aside that I always look far better leaving than arriving, Hair Nirvana is a wonderful place to visit. I spend almost as much time browsing (and buying) from the Navajo and Tibetan arts and crafts as I do in the chair. And Vee is a wonderful person to talk to, to listen to, and it is a privilege to know him. read more

I've always had trouble finding someone that understood how to style my hair. Vee is the only one that gets it. He's so willing to suggest new styles when I need a change. I always leave feeling amazing. The vibe is calming here an allows you to have some me time. read more

After a long search, I have found my "forever hair colorist & stylist"! I changed over to Organic hair-color and found "Vee's" knowledge and mastery of hair-color (organic), hair-cuts and styling to be superior and was won-over after just one visit! Now my hair is much healthier, shinier using the organic color, plus my haircut and styling by Vee are both wonderful, easy to manage in between appointments; I highly recommend Hair-Nirvana (the name says it all, you'll see) you won't be disappointed-- Vee is the best! read more

I stopped in this salon/boutique while visiting Scottsdale... Vern was my stylist. Very friendly, professional and knew exactly what style works for me. The salon was clean and orderly. The boutique has all kinds of unique goodies. Worth stopping by even if just to have a friendly chat. Bonus points if you're a Morrissey fan! read more

I went in to see Vern for a hair color and "fauxhawk" about two weeks ago. I had never had my hair colored and so I was quite nervous, but he put my concerns to bed and spent a lot of time getting my hair colored just right. The end result was amazing, and well worth the $70 it cost. Highly recommended. Thanks! read more

Called and no answer. Did a drive by and could not find the place anymore. Maybe closed?

Vee is an artist in every way!! I've been getting my hair done by him for a decade, at least! Just saw him this past Saturday and once again, he took the time to make every detail of my cut perfection!! I highly recommend his services for anyone that appreciates good hair by a great man. His store is unique in so many ways and you have all his attention when you are there! Thanks Vee for another amazing couple hours resulting in a full heart and great hair!! read more

I LOVE this hair salon. I was introduced to Vee, the owner of Hair Nirvana, through a friend and decided to give him a try. I just moved here and was nervous to entrust someone to my hair because I am: 1) Vain 2) A worry wart I have used the same stylist for the last three years and never had to worry about my hair. So, this was a little nerve wracking to say the least. When I arrived at Hair Nirvana I immediately noticed the beautiful decor. Vee, the owner, has beautifully decorated the salon with Tibetan and Navajo art and jewelry. After asking about the art, I found that he is Navajo and studies Tibetan Buddhism. He purchases all of his good via fair trade and tries to use his salon to highlight Native American artists. This was the first clue that I wound up in the right place. After we sat down in the chair he did an assessment. He looked at my hair to see how it naturally fell against my bone structure. We talked for a moment about what I was trying to accomplish and what would be best for me. He really took the time to listen and didn't just force his idea of beauty on me. After the consultation he washed my hair and then gave me a beautiful hair cut. Not an "ok" hair cut, not an "I'm sorta satisfied" haircut. He did an awesome job. I went out after I got my hair cut and got half a dozen compliments immediately. I am excited to return to his salon. I have since gotten a California Smooth treatment which has left my hair so smooth and nice. It is really easy to work with now, it was a little coarse and frizzy before the treatment. I also found out that he does color with organic products which is pretty exciting. I am glad that I was unexpectedly turned on to this salon. I have a handful of cards and am now on a Hair Nirvana crusade, giving his card out to anyone who shoots me a compliment. :) read more

Have you ever been to a stylist that sat and talked about your hair for 15-20 minutes before they even started cutting?!? My guess is no! From the moment I walked into Vee's hair salon I was immediately transformed into a calming state..which is very rare when you have a 2 year-old! I digress...back to Vee. He's just AMAZING. I am one who does not like to do anything with my hair...except put it up in a ponytail. However, sometimes I do use a hairdryer and I have to say that my hair has never looked or felt so amazing! Vee uses only organic products and they are fantastic! I only get my hair cut every 5-6 months, I know I need to go more, and Vee remembers me as soon as I walk into the door. Like I was one of his regulars. Did I mention price yet...dont think so... Vee is very very reasonable. He charges $45 dollars for a cut. You wont find that price anywhere in a Scottsdale salon! Please just go!! You will find your stylist for life here!! read more

This is the place to reach Nirvana! The experience will keep you centered for a couple hours after you leave Vee's sanctuary and walk out the door with a great, updated hair cut. The products Vee uses have exceptional olfactic qualities that contribute to your general well being and relaxation. Vee knows hair for sure, he has top notch technique backed by a solid career as a stylist. Overall it is a very peaceful and energizing experience ( must be the scalp massage: A-MA-ZING) . This was my first visit to the salon, the name drew me in to the store, I wanted to find out what nirvana had to do with hair, well...now I know! I will be back. read more

I feel bad for people who go thru stressful times in their lives. But to me there is nothing a soothing as to go see my Vee at Hair Nirvana. The 1st moment you walk thru the doors, you walk into a relaxing environment. Vee is very attentive to you & your needs. I have been seeing Vee for at least 15 years or longer, he would know. I have since moved to Denver & can not accept the fact that I have to find s new hair dresser. Although they haven't been good reasons that I have had to go back to Scottsdale, thank gosh every time it's been about hair cut time. #groupeforlife read more

I had a great experience at Hair Nirvana. My haircut is perfect and my unexpected scalp massage was ahhmazing! I also enjoyed the calm, no drama conversation. The products i purchased are worth every penny & my hair has never felt more healthy. This is my 2nd visit to V this year and I will definitely go back and recommend him to my friends. read more

I have reached Hair Nirvana thanks to Vee! Every time I go in for an appointment I leave feeling energized and renewed with a great new hairdo and a wonderful outlook on life. Only wish I could give it more stars. I love it that much! read more

There has never been a more BEAUTIFUL shop or a more PHENOMENAL stylist! And ever since my first visit many years ago I've followed the shop's work and Vee Newton is such a talent artist with hair! I didn't even have a full idea of what I just a "kinda this" and turned my old, grown out, split end hair into a true beauty!!! I've tried numerous hair shops since moving to AZ 7 years ago and will never leave Hair Nirvana!! read more

Can't believe i just found this place. So close to me and in align with everything I believe in. Vee is a wonderful colorist, stylist, and deep person. I like to practice conscious capitalism - Vee has organic products, hair color, and sells local artists spiritual type items. Much Love. read more

Just wanted to revisit this one since I'm back on yelp. I went to this guy (real name Vern) almost two years ago for a cut that was supposed to include a scalp massage I never received. I was under an extreme amount of duress at the time considering my husband was very ill. I don't know if that had anything to do with WHY this jackass decided to destroy my hair but he's definitely an opportunist. I gave him very clear instructions as to how to cut my hair. I've been getting my hair cut the same way for years (a scoop with medium/long layers and chunky). I walked out of there looking like Elvira! So I posted a couple bad reviews on this douche. Shortly after my husband dies, I get a call from a buddy of this douchebag claiming to be a lawyer telling me to take down my bad yet honest reviews or I will be sued! WTF! At the time I did take down what I could due to my duress but I'm back now and not putting up with this shit. Vern is an opportunistic abuser and should not be licensed to touch another human being. Oh yhea his jewelry sucks and is overpriced too! Go at your own risk. You've been warned! read more

I was a little worried about going to a salon for a mens cut; however, Hair Nirvana turned out to be very professional and not at all a girly/feminine salon at all. Vee asked all the right questions and expertly finished my cut, while working his magic over my follicularly challenged areas. I like the fact that my cut is easily cared for out of the shower. With call in appo intments and a single chair, I didnt have any gawkers waiting for me to leave. I love th Il s place! read more
