This review covers only the salon side of Nurture Spa and Salon at Luxor, where I had my hair cut today for the third time by Victoria. The salon is a pleasant place to relax while waiting on a comfortable couch for your stylist. I perused a provided copy of Vegas magazine while waiting briefly for her to emerge. In that short span of time I was offered and received a bottle of water from the receptionist. Here on a first visit a stylist takes the time to consult with a new client concerning exactly what kind of cut or style is preferred. This short but unrushed talk occurs at the stylist's station before a tall mirror. \n\nNext it was off to have the hair shampooed while reclining over a porcelain basin following the clipping on of a towel, and turning under my buttoned shirt's collar. I would have thought that such a detail would be no big deal until the back of my neck and my shirt were drenched on at least three occasions somewhere else. Now I appreciate a shampoo where I emerge dry afterward, as on this day. \n\nThen it was time for the actual haircut. Nothing much to report on here except that it appears that my hair is turning progressively more white as I continue to mature (at least it is not falling out--which would be far worse!). And, the cutting was done in a very professional manner, using both scissors and a clipper, and wound up looking the way I wanted it to. Eyebrows were also trimmed without having to ask. While this was going on, the place was really bustling with activity on a Friday afternoon. Two women in high reclining seats were receiving pedicures, another was getting her hands manicured, and even a bride walked in--complete with bridal gown on and her white train sweeping across the floor. In fact, I was the only man in the room--which is not a bad thing! With all the action swirling around me amid all the green- and brown-colored items in the room, I felt like the lion must have as he was being pampered in Emerald City. \n\nThe experience was not cheap--but I knew that going in. A men's haircut & blow-dry starts at $45, plus an automatic 20% service charge. So, at least $54.00 a whack. But at least it's a great haircut!
