    A first selfie attempt.

    Been going to Oro Valley Gadabout for maybe 20 years. Love it. I've used the same hair dresser, Elaine, the whole time. Massive assortment of excellent products. A happy place to visit.

    How my hair was supposed to look
    Vanessa A.

    After Gadabout saw my first review they promptly called me to apologize for the incident that occurred and scheduled me for a new, complimentary appointment with Terry, a "balayage specialist." I was extremely excited about getting my hair done, but was quickly let down by this salon once again. Although, Terry was great as a person, my color did not turn out anything like I asked. I wanted a very blended look, but I received highlights/streaky look(as shown in the pictures). I'm honestly embarrassed to go anywhere because of my hair. I called the salon shortly after my appointment to let them know I was unhappy with my hair. They said because it was a complimentary service(even though Terry told me they were going to charge me for the gloss, $45, as she was putting it in my hair) they are unable to bring me back in to fix it unless I pay for the service($185). I am extremely frustrated with my hair and my experience here. Again, save your hard earned money and time and GO ELSEWHERE!!

    Oh my word I cannot say enough good things about this place. I did so much research before going to another salon. Peter was super amazing from beginning to end. I kind of told him you know like what I was thinking and like what I was wanting for my hair. And he came through like a champ. It was everything I wanted and more. He also did some thing with my hair so I can look less blocky at the top with my roots grow out to make it blended. He was super conversational and nice to talk to the entire time. And he also gave me a keratin treatment to help my hair. It was 100% worth the price and the experience honestly to make sure my hair was not damaged in anyway and done right. I would hundred percent recommend Peter he definitely made everything I wanted with my hair come to life in one session. Everyone loves my new hair color too!

    My hair is still too dark!

    June 27, 2023, I was excited to have my hair dyed and styled by a professional but in the end only to walk out so disappointed! As I have always done prior, I alerted the stylist to the fact that ANY shade of brown would make my hair too dark!!!! I actually showed her a picture of what I was aiming for. Because I had gone through a serious illness that thinned out my hair, I knew only a professional would know which would be the best recourse, I had paid $185 for a very dark brown! I was so embarrassed with the color and felt let down. Because the hair was already so uneven, she could only trim the bottom. Had I not asked to have my hair blown dry and styled, she would of sent me out the door with wet hair. The next morning I wanted the cry. I went to Sally Beauty on First and Oracle to see what I could buy to fix my hair. One of the associates advised me to call Gadabout, since they were the ones that dyed the hair, SURELY they would step up and fix it. I called, and because the original stylist was not available, I was recommended to another stylist, who was aware of my complaint. Bottom line, without paying another $125 to put highlights in my hair which would help mask the darkness, there was nothing she could do. All she could offer me was "sorry". I never heard from the original stylist nor from Gadabout. As of today my hair is too dark, considering it was a temporary dye. I am extremely disappointed with my color and with the fact that there has been no response from Gadabout Salon Spas on Oracle, Tucson.

(my regular therapist has been blessed and is off for a while) Finding this place through Yelp was So Easy. They replied within an hour of my inquiry. I was booked for an appointment very quickly. When I first went in to the office I was greeted by the two mascots, Jack and Morgan. Two Very Sweet dogs who were very vocal with their greeting and very happy to have me greet them with scratches and pets. After filling out the questionnaire, Jack was happy to sit with me for a while and get some special scritches and pats of his own while I waited. He was a comforting presence. Ms. Jerri walked in and then directed me to a room where she asked specific questions about my problem areas and left for me to get ready on the massage table. She was Very Thorough with my back, using a muscle scraping technique along the sides of my spine with what felt like her forearm and the side of her hand. There were moments I was tempted to ask her to stop, but she seemed to know and stopped before I said anything. Her work on my legs and feet was nice and very relaxing. I'm pretty sure she used some kind of wash on my feet with a wet, warm towel to clean them afterward. It was an interesting experience. Not at all unpleasant. She also did something I've never had done before. She lightly massaged my face and tapped at my brow and below my eyes on my cheek bones. It was nice because it helped open up my sinuses after being facedown on the table for a while. After the massage, I reassembled my attire, paid and left. The receptionist asked how it was and I smiled and nodded. I am not saying Ms Jerri is Not a good therapist. I Am Saying, It was the first time I was in her care. As I mentioned before I'm used to different techniques and pressures. My only real issue with this massage was that she did not focus on the specific areas I was having the most issues with, which were outlined in the questionnaire. As with any new experience, especially physical treatments, there is a learning period. Sometimes it takes a few sessions to get the treatments established for the client, and I understand that. Would I go back? Yes, if I am unable to see my regular therapist, absolutely.

They give you a little tour of the spa and assign a locker. Their pool is not huge but big enough to swim around. They have beautifully set up pool area with everything you might need. You can order poolside drinks and lunch as well. For your convenience the tables are available so you can enjoy lunch in comfort. The Himalayan salt therapy lounge was an interesting experience. We hung out there for quite a while. There is no jacuzzi but who needs one when it's 100 degrees outside. After lunch, steam room and showers we all went to our designated appointments, some had massages but I went for a facial. Not a great one but relaxing enough. I have to say the food was pretty good. I ordered their chicken sandwich and it came with fries in a tin container. I would order it with salad instead since fries got a bit soggy. One thing I really didn't like is each time I called I spoke to a different person and they could not find me in their system and the information I was given was inconsistent. During check out also had an issue with locating my reservation which was super annoying.

The locker rooms are very clean and have any amenity you could possibly need. FYI, if you've got bigger feet, their slides probably won't fit you very well (size 9 or larger).

Make sure you really relax and take your time with the tea on the back patio. The view of the Catalinas are spectacular. Soak them in!

She is quick, thorough, professional, and her spa is always clean and organized. Melissa is conveniently located in a collective of salons and spa on First Ave. and Limberlost called "Sola Salons". Melissa's schedule is perfect for people who work, and she has appointments available to accommodate anyone's schedule. I have been to lots of other spas that do a great job, but often for a 30 min. appointment ends up being one hour ...the time spent checking in, waiting, and the waxing not to mention costs after tip $50-$60. I just had an appointment today...no joke I was in and out in 15 minutes and paid $40 w/ tip! Who wants a bikini wax to last any longer than that?! Holla!

Good ole Groupon brought me here to enjoy a 90-min massage for a great price. Chelsea offers five different types of massage: swedish, lymphatic, deep-tissue, neuromuscular and aromatherapy (Aromatherapy is $10 extra). I received a deep tissue/swedish massage and can honestly say it was one of the best massages I've ever received. You know it's a great massage when you drift into that state of semi-consciousness somewhere around the 30 minute mark. Customer service was top notch and I will most definitely be back to visit again. Overall, not only was this a great massage experience, but I love to support new small businesses. It is obvious that Chelsea is passionate about her little spa and her profession as a massage therapist. *Note: due to the popularity of this Groupon deal, Chelsea is booking into late March now. However, if you want a quality massage experience she is definitely worth the wait. *Right next to Sunflower Markets, perfect for a nice little walk around for yummy goodies after your massage.
