About

Urban Nirvana began in 2000 at its West Ashley Spa on South Windermere Boulevard, and the business says it grew out of a friendship between two founders, one a massage therapist and the other one of her long-time clients. It describes itself as having been part of its neighborhoods for twenty-five years.

Massage is treated as the center of the spa side, and estheticians and stylists are described as equally committed to their work. Therapists and stylists are hired as individuals and are said to bring their own style to every appointment. The business says its therapists and stylists are trained quarterly.

A visit is scheduled without double-booking, and the business says a second appointment is never rushed. Most clients return every four to eight weeks. Massage menus run from a 30-minute foot treatment to 90-minute full-body sessions, and the spa side also includes body wraps, scrubs and waxing. Skin services are chosen by the esthetician to suit each client's skin, using iS Clinical, Lemon & Beaker and HydraFacial product lines.

On the salon side, color options include balayage, which is hand-painted freehand to create soft, natural-looking highlights that move from the roots to brighter ends, along with root retouch, full color and partial and full highlights. Each color service can be finished with a haircut or a blowout. Hair treatments and glosses use Davines products.

Many locations offer spa and salon services under one roof. Several have parking, and the Greenville Spa and Salon has a retail boutique with skin, hair, body and home care products. The business says Greenville is its largest location and Columbia has its largest floor.

Massage is the foundation of the spa, with trained staff who bring their own style to each appointment and an unhurried schedule with no double-booking.

Several locations have spacious treatment rooms, a quiet lounge and ample parking, with spa and salon services offered together.
