nHair doesn't render

I'm trying to render hair, and it doesn't show up at all when I render with mental ray. I've tried playing with the shading attributes in the hairSystem and I've made sure render fur/hair is checked on in the render settings. I don't have any paint effects attached to the hair, but I should be able to render hair without paint effects. I notice that there isn't any visual feedback in the viewport if I change the number of hairs per clump or anything like that. Should there be?

Thanks Dave, I did try changing the render settings to production, even production: rapid hair and there wasn't anything. I ended up adding a pfx to it. I don't really understand the intricacies of the system, but I ended up getting something to render, so I'll go with that for now.
