Not the fanciest salon I've ever been in, but clean. I'd much rather get a great cut from a friendly hairdresser than pay for the décor and get average work. I have fine, straight hair that needs a precision cut to look good, the kind of cut Sassoon used to do back in the day. That's what I get from Christina: an excellent cut that makes my hair look good with minimal care. And, I have chemical allergies, meaning that it's almost impossible for me to find a shampoo or conditioner or (sigh) colour that doesn't break me out in a painful rash. I can use the products Hair by Nature sells, and they're good for my fine, dry hair: no rash, no inflamed scalp, and my hair looks and feels good.
