I've been going here for about 10 years about 4 times a year for the retail side of the business and at least 1 or two times a year buy a gift certificate for my wife for special occasions. She seems to love this place and the customer service is always good. The gift certificates go on sale at least once a year for 25% off and I try to take advantage if I know about it. Let's me get my wife enough on a gift card for a couple massages or whatever she wants. Very nice store. Good sale rack occasionally for impulse buys as gifts as I walk buy. Just a nice store that does well and been around for a while and I think will be around for quite a while. I recommend it highly and pretty sure my spouse would as well. She is the primary benefactor from my shopping here. read more

Weird... I ended up scheduling a 90 minute message last minute and was very thankful for the last minute booking. However the whole experience was very weird and uncomfortable. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful, however my massage therapist acted as if I were an inconvenience from the moment I walked in. She greeted me by saying "I'm ready when you are." I can't tell you her name because she never introduced herself or even said hello. The room was bright and loud! I could hear every conversation on the street which was rather annoying. The massage was good, but at times the pressure got to be too much and she never once checked in with me. At one point she told me we "would probably stretch at the end because she was going to run out of things to do." I've never had a massage therapist "run out of things to do!" She did proceed to ask me to do stretches at the end which made me extremely uncomfortable given that I was naked!! And paying for a massage, not to stretch, I can do that on my own. Definitely will not be returning! read more

I really loved my haircut with Chandler, he was so cute and fun to talk to. I decided to cut off more length than normal and was nervous but he made it look so good! read more

I love Urban Nirvana. Everyone is so nice and the salon is always clean. My stylist is amazing. Ask for Mikayla.

Wow, an awesome massage from Tami. Great pressure, firm, but not too much. Focused and very calming. Very lovely space also. My wife and I will be back! read more

Visiting Charleston from Seattle, we might not have found this place without help from a local relative. Fantastic massage. I would request Jennifer again but my husband's therapist was Tammy and he said she was equally as excellent. Clean and professional without sacrificing a lovely ambiance. A quick Lyft from the French quarter. Do it. read more

Urban Nirvana Day Spa is fantastic. Wendy was my masseuse and I will be a client for life. I went to her with a neck/shoulder issue (I think repetitive stress from work) that she relieved tremendously after only 60 minutes. This issue has recently caused me to miss on and off several days of work for the past 2 months due to severe pain and lack of mobility. My prior Dr. visit offered only temporary relief with a steroid shot and pain pills. Wendy worked magic on me and now I have a long term and holistic solution to maintaining my health and livelihood. read more

Wendy is my favorite therapist! She actually focuses on the areas that need work. She's great if you love deep tissue!

I had an appointment with Michael today and I absolutely love my hair. Hair is long and basically very blunt with no shape. He took out some of the volume and shaped the front. Amazing job! He spent so much time with me and explained everything. He's very knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend him. read more

I have always had a wonderful experience here. I come for an hour massage every couple months and all of the masseuses have been fantastic. They are always able to accommodate my preference for strong pressure, whether male or female masseuse, and I always come away feeling relaxed. This is definitely my go-to place when I'm in need of a massage. read more

Just had my first facial with Courtney Bukowsky today. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and very patient in walking me through what I need to do in order to keep my skin looking and feeling as amazing as it does after seeing her! She's awesome in every way and I'm so glad to have found her!!! read more

This is a great place. I was able to book online for a same day, 90 minute massage. They were courteous and very clean and calming. My masseuse Otto was incredible. It was obvious that he knows the physiology and was able to really get into problem areas in my neck and back. He was careful but strong and I really appreciated his technique. read more

My husband and I got a 90 minute couples massage at the Wentworth Mansion location by Jordan and Hailey. We give them both five stars. They were attentive, professional and provided the right amount of pressure. Location was beautiful and relaxing and definitely set the mood. read more

Urban Nirvana was just that for me...a chance to get away. I primarily went to UN Hair, but did receive several treatments at the main spa. The facial was great, but the aesthetician was a bit pushy on the products (can't fault them...that's their job). I did end up buying them, but tossed them all after 6 weeks when I just couldn't handle the return of my teenage acne. Also their waxing services are good and reasonably priced. Cami at Urban Nirvana Hair is absolutely fantastic. She always did a great job, whether it was a trim or something a bit more dramatic. I'm not adventurous when it comes to my hair, primarily because I rarely do anything to my hair besides washing it. Cami was great when I wanted to shake things up a bit and cut a foot off. She gave me a cute layered, shoulder-length 'do that was perfect! To top it off, she's super friendly and outgoing. Prices are reasonable. $55 for a wash, cut, and style. Highlights with a cut ran ~$120. So sad to have moved...now I'm hoping to find someone just as good out here. read more

In love with this place. Kim is awesome with with my facials and takes into account the type of skin you have when treating. I see her monthly for a fast break facial and it keeps my skin in great shape. She always recommends great products to help with my troublesome skin and don't over extract. I really enjoy this place and the staff are wonderful! read more

Amazing. Called at 12:20 on a Monday because I had the WORST zit I have ever had. I saw the zitzap treatment and decided to try it. They fit me in at 12:45. It worked! The woman was very nice and knowledgable and the best part? It worked! It went down dramatically the next day and the following day it was gone. If you have a zit that is torturing you, it is worth the $25. read more

Nothing better than a Friday afternoon massage. Called and was able to get a same day appointment. Twice in two weeks thanks to my wonderful husband and his golf addiction, he bribes me so he can go play. I always show up 30-45 minutes early just to sit and decompose before my massage. I got the whip lash massage, was in a car accident a few months ago and still have bulging disks and neck pain so this was perfect. Leah was wonderful. She asked my pressure preference and checked to make sure I was happy. She earned every penny of my 25% tip. So relaxing. And the shower afterwards left me smelling great, I can't wait to go back! read more

By far the best experience in Charleston.... I had a migraine for 3 plus days finally had enough and called on a Sunday around 1:00 pm not expecting to be able to get an appointment and to my very pleasant surprise was able to get the last appoinment of the day. Steven was amazing, very knowlegable and very intuitive as a therapist. As stated above I started with a migraine a walked out an hour later with a very mild head ache. I stopped getting massage due to the fact that I didn't want Swedish only with very little Trigger Point or Neuromuscular. Steven was able to get my migraine down, it was great having a therapist that knows Neuromuscular, and Trigger Point my favorites .. The staff out front was so gracious and made me feel comfortable right away, can't say enough about this place. AMAZING!!!!!!! read more

Lovely spa setting and super relaxing. Had a great massage and good customer service. I get massages frequently and this gal knew what she was doing. Worked out every knot. Plus I love the extra touches with hot towels. Unfortunately cannot recall her name but I'm sure most of the therapists are good here, from the happy faces of customers in the relax area post massage. They have yummy snacks and water, so plan to stay for a bit after and bask in the glow. read more

Had an excellent facial with Courtney today. The place is clean and relaxing. Courtney knew how to deal with my sensitive skin. My skin feels great. read more

This is the second time I have had a massage in my life. One in Atlanta and one today at Urban Nirvana. And let me just say Patrick was amazing. It was the most relaxing and was so peaceful. He knew exactly what to do after I told him I am a bartender and server and where I kept all my stress. I felt like a whole new person walking out after my massage. I will be back and ask for Patrick again. It was like he knew where my pressure points started and how to kick those knots to the curb. Also the atmosphere was adorable. From when you walk in it looks like a little boutique, then you walk through a door and its like walking into a new universe with peace. I highly recommend this spa to anyone who is looking to get away from life for an hour or so and just enjoy you! read more

I have been going to the South Windermere location on and off for years, and I am never disappointed. This afternoon I booked the Rubbed and Wrapped with Clint. Oh. My. God. This was my first experience with this particular therapist, but I will definitely be asking for him from now on. He was very personable and took great care to give all my trouble areas enough attention. Seriously, best massage I've ever had. read more

Got a 60 minute integrated massage with Matt at South Windemere location. He was incredible. It was so relaxing and just what I needed. He was knowledgeable about what would help the tension in my muscles and focused on areas that I carry more stress. Would definitely request him for next time. Thanks for a wonderful experience! read more

I recently relocated to Charleston from Southern California and as most women know, finding replacement stylists, estheticians (and everything else) can be a daunting task! I stumbled upon Urban Nirvana and took my chances with being booked with any open provider. Luckily, I was booked with Marie - she's fantastic! Very friendly, a great waxer and made the entire experience comfortable, quick and pleasant. Not to mention, she gave me great recommendations for other places in the area to check out. I would highly recommend Marie and Urban Nirvana for any spa service! read more

My husband and I were on vacation to Charleston for our anniversary and decided to celebrate by enjoying a little relaxation at Urban Nirvana. I usually have services done at the location in Columbia, SC so I was pretty sure that I knew what to expect. We arrived a little early, but were welcomed in and given locker keys. Everyone on the staff was incredibly helpful and polite and offered us water and snacks while we waited. My only gripe is the location of the waiting area. In Columbia, the waiting area is off to the side and is very peaceful to wait for services in. Due to the layout of this location, the waiting area is right in the middle of the major thoroughfare, which made it a little difficult to relax as we were waiting for our spa services to begin as people were running in and out. A minor thing, yes, but it made a difference to us. The actual treatments were amazing. I had the aromatherapy massage and facial and my husband had the hot stone massage. All three of the therapists/estheticians we worked with were incredibly professional, skilled, and willing to answer all questions. The ambiance in the rooms was soothing and the overall experiences were a-mazing. After our treatments I took advantage of the shower and all of the products available in the women's locker room. They have hairbrushes and a hair dryer which were clean and maintained (and very useful). Overall, I'd highly recommend this location. read more

60 minute couple massage. Got there early. Nice little waiting room with tea, water and snacks. I don't get a massage often and they took the time to explain all the options so I was comfortable with what I was getting. Staff was very friendly. My wife was pleased with all the services they offered. Massage was great. read more

Urban Nirvana is great. They offer a ton of different services and have friendly and attentive staff. Their "bedhead" massage is to DIE for!! My favorite massage therapist is Jimmy and my husband's favorite is Sarah. My mother in law regularly gets reflexology and thinks they're great too. Oh! And get the "Buff and Bronze" - it's a self-tanner and exfoliating treatment. I first got one right before my wedding and loved it so much I've been hooked ever since! read more

I wish I could give more than even 5 stars! From the moment I walked in to when I walked out was truly a great experience. The girls at the desk were incredibly nice and welcoming. The locker rooms and waiting room was truly relaxing. Such a nice start to what I was hoping would be an hour of no stress and relaxation. The massage room was perfect, temperature nice, bed comfortable, and I can't even begin to tell you how incredible Tammy was. I have had my fair shares of massages, and this was definitely in the top 3 of best I have ever had. I cannot wait to come back and have Tammy again, and also, recommend her to as many people as I can! This is truly such a gem in Charleston. read more

Best wax in town! Experienced staff and always friendly! Highly recommended!!! If your looking for a great place to get a gift this is the place. read more

I had a massage on Monday by Tess, and lets just say it changed my whole week! She was awesome, super professional, and really took her time to focus on my needs. I will definitely be back!!! read more

This was my first time getting a facial and Tara was wonderful! She explained everything she was going to do before she started and answered all of my questions. When you first arrive, you are taken to a locker room area where you are given a robe to wear. They also have a shower available for after and have everything you need right there, including a blow dryer. The waiting area is very relaxing with dim lights and soothing music. I will definitely be back to see Tara for another facial. read more
