Be careful if you buy one of their salt lamps. I took it home and started to unwrap the cellophane and then could see the base was broken (one could not clearly see the condition with it wrapped). I called the next day to say I wanted to exchange it for one that was not broken. He accused me of dropping it. I told him I did not drop it. I offered to send him a photo so he could see the screws were rusted. and the base was broken and separated, and the salt lamp part was fine, he could see it was not dropped. I just wanted to exchange it for another one. He said, no, it was my problem that I dropped it. It was fine when he put in the bag. I again said I will bring it back and he can examine and see there is no evidence that it was dropped, and I would like to exchange it. He refused. I am only giving one star because I had to in order to post this experience. read more

I had the most pleasant experience meeting Pavel Gershkovich, C.H.P., C.R.P., P.M.P., he's the President of the Salt Chalet Arizona, Since getting back from 42 degree weather in Pittsburg & flying with lots of sneezing & coughing ppl I developed a bit of laryngitis & wheezing. My Dr. Was out of the office so I couldn't get in to be seen, bummer but everything happens for a reason So while browsing Good ol Groupon I seen the Salt room & read the following on their website sounded interesting and I'll try anything once halotherapy - uses aerosoled salt. The size of the particles is the same as in natural salt caves. When breathed in, these particles penetrate deep into the bronchial tree where the antiseptic properties of the salt can work on mucus and infections. People can experience improvement of bronchial drainage, that is, bronchial tube cleansing. salt room was developed, a room where the walls and floor are covered with salt and a halogenerator blows crushed salt particles into the room providing all the health benefits that a natural salt cave would. Well even better my little guy who is 8 has had a lingering cough & they said it's safe and perfect for children ! I was excited to hear this & so was he I guess children respond faster than adults do and let me tell you he did not cough all night !! and when we walked out of there we felt 60% better I'm not wheezing & starting to feel better this place rocks ! Give them a try The staff was friendly, clean waiting room, short wait what more can you ask for. Oh and the have an apothecary shop if your into that sort of thing read more

I recently have started an all natural approach to medicine the Salt Chalet was a no brained for me to try since I have suffered allergies & asthma all my life. Not only was the breathing exercises effective, but the room itself was so relaxing. I highly recommend brining a book or magazine to be sure you stay alert (since the room is less effective if you fall asleep). I love running and before going to the salt chalet I would feel such a tightness in my chest, now I don't feel weighed down by lungs. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an all natural solution to asthma & allergies! I am looking forward to visiting again. read more

I feel awful writing this but I feel it's a yelper responsibility. What could have been a very enjoyable relaxing experience was cut short by the incessant waves of paranoia I felt, as a woman inches from me, hacked up god knows what into a tissue, over and over. What a conflicting feeling to attempt to detox your lungs only to feel as you will be instead be contracting some infection from the person next to you. The Groupon photo is obv stock, as it makes it appear to be a large room but it is actually a closet that seats 5 people. At the advice of other reviewers I brought a book, and my only upside was I got to start and finish, "cats of new york." I would only return if there was an option to use the room privately. The doctor was nice enough, but this treatment is not suitable for every one due to lack of space and mixing patients who are there for different reasons. read more

2014 Salt Chalet Arizona Review - Fresh 2014 Review of Salt Chalet Arizona - Halotherapy! I'm a new fan. Seriously, two-too many yelp complainers regarding this awesome establishment. Do the folks in Scottsdale even realize how fortunate they are to have a halotherapy location so close to them? The nearest halotherapy establishment nearest this one is in Tucson. Such ridiculous complaints from D.H and jospehine L. Pay no mind and take in a fresh 2014 review. Although I live 40mins away, I decided to patronize The Salt Chalet Arizona in order to cleanse my lungs from a seven-year work history in a hospital that dealt with asbestos clean-up, as well as a chronic sinus condition (congestion). Just general detox really since I'm thankfully otherwise healthy. The establishment is VERY EASY to find using my outdated iPhone Maps feature. The sign in front is CLEARLY marked and parking is a breeze. Mr. Pavel Gershkovich's office sits at the end of a short corridor, within a larger existing DO office. He is friendly and genuine and reviews medical issues prior to the start of the session. His office is very clean, as are the treatment rooms. He provides new booties to wear while in the room in order to maintain cleanliness. There's also a cubby for your shoes, purses, etc. I brought books to read but realized how much more beneficial the session would be if I just RELAXED and concentrated on my '20/20' breathing, as well as the light therapy. I arrived frazzled and stressed (story of my life). He picked up on this immediately and questioned me about it. He really put me at ease with his gentle nature and concern. The level of genuine care he displayed during the first 5min of our meeting really blew me away! What a wonderfully empathic practitioner, I thought. I could not wait to yelp about him, I recall thinking. After a short explanation on how to maximize my breathing during the session (20/20), I was led into a small room covered from floor to ceiling in snow-white Dead Sea Therapeutic Salt. There are 5 comfy loungers in the room and the floor is covered inches deep in loose Dead Sea Salt. My favorite part? The light therapy. Mr. Gershkovich encouraged me to not close my eyes during the session as to benefit from the multi-spectrum LED lights that illuminate the room during the session. They really worked! The entire session was so extremely relaxing that after about 15min, I had a hard time NOT falling asleep. The salted air was WONDERFUL and the level of salt in the air always felt constant! Periodically (and often) more salted-air was piped into the room. I never felt any stinging or discomfort in any way. I could feel the therapeutic air enter my lungs which each purposeful breath and the 45min session left me with salty lips and a fine dew of salt on my clothing and exposed belongings. Loved that! That's how I knew it was the REAL DEAL, no BS here. I was literally taking way deeper breaths in (inhalations) during the last 25min of the session. My lungs opened up, increasing my ability to inhale more air! Crazy, right? I booked another session for the following week. I left feeling so relaxed and happy, I was worried about driving home. Obviously, I made it. :) HIGHLY recommend! A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

What a cool place! The owner is knowledgeable about the benefits and uses of Dead Sea Salt, and the room itself is cool! I told him what physical ailments I was having (a cold and cough) and he told me specifically how to breathe for my issue! Very unique experience! read more

Resting my feet in a bed of dead sea salt and I'm breathing well enough to say Ahhh.I can't ask for more living in Arizona where it's dusty and polluted on most days.The services offered here just keep on showing up what next 24hr service? read more

I am so dissapointed in this whole experience. I prefer natural remedies and had read about Salt Chalet, and have been telling my clients about it. The perfect oppurtunity came when they ran a Groupon AND I was just getting over a bad mucousy cold. My intention was to go and try to get rid of the lingering cough. Of course I procrastinated and got in just before the expiration, well after my cough was gone. Walking in what not what I expected, its actually 2 salt rooms set up in the back of an office. I was not given any explanation except how to breathe and how long to stay in the room. No consultation. The woman was cold as ice. I wish i woulda taken a book. I can see how sitting in the room would clear any congestion etc. The salt in the air stung my sensitive eyes bad, and they were sore the remainder of the day. I let myself out when my time was up, no staff around. No goodbyes. No follow up instructions. Customer Service and lack of information will not get me back there even if I thought Id benefit from it read more

Halotherapy ( salt therapy ) is a lovely alternative therapy that works great. However, in this case it is the owner of Salt Chalet that really left a bad taste in our mouths with his greedy sales schemes, pressure tactics and a taker attitude. We came in with small children and he made sure to charge $55 even our smallest 6 month old who sat on our lap. He badgered and pressured us toward purchasing more sessions with him. Oh, the packages starting at $250 !!!! Then instead of 45 minute session, he kicked us out at less than 30 minutes after the session began. And even was rude to his office staff who insisted to correct the problem by informing him that the session was cut short. We have gone to many halotherapy places in US and in Europe, and have never seen such usury. After all, you just sit in a room with finely ground salt blowing in the air. It was beyond disgusting, unprofessional and smelled like a scam. At this place, be ready to pay A LOT for a service half of what it should be. Also, the amount of salt they spray is a fraction of what it should be. It is barely noticeable. So, if you are sick and have read that salt therapy helps, be ready to be greeted by a "timeshare" salesman, who will try hard to dig deep into your pockets. Yuk! read more

Love the Salt Room!! I go here with our son and helps anything related to problems with breathing (bacteria). Our 3 year old love the room and we feel so much better leaving it. Salt is amazing. read more

I am 82 years old and have C.O.P.D. , and my sessions at the Salt Chalet have not only been pleasant and relaxing, but also very effective. As a result of them, I am now able to breathe more deeply. My breathing is not as shallow as it used to be, and it is easier for me to breathe normally as I used to do. I highly recommend this experience. read more

My first experience with Salt Chalet came years ago when my husband bought me a Groupon for my birthday. I have a breathing disability, and the salt helped clear my lungs in the short period of time I spent there. I purchased additional sessions, but my work schedule consistently conflicted with the Salt Chalet hours, so I was unable to return. My husband and I recently revisited the Salt Chalet, and we both went in this time. My husband has issues with his nose consistently clogging, and during the short time we spent there, he was amazed that he could breathe through his nose again for the first time in years. We highly recommend this service. read more

We purchased a package of three visits from Groupon. My husband has some respiratory issues and we thought we'd like to try this. I called and left a message to book our session, A few hours later I sent an email, I called a second number listed a little later and reached someone. We booked for that day. We arrived at a medical clinic that didn't have a sign outside for the Salt, When we went in we were directed through a door into some offices where we met with (I guess) the owner. He instructed us on how to breath in the room. Then we were led to the salt rooms. These are spaces with chairs. The floor walls and ceilings are covered with a deep layer of salt. You relax clothed in this room where a salt mixture is pumped in and music plays. Lights softly changed colors. I relaxed and fell asleep or so my husband told me. $% minutes later and the treatment was over. The information said that 10 or more treatments are required to improve conditions. I had a pleasant enough experience but doubt I will go back 10 times. Very interesting. Among other treatments available we were given a brochure on leech therapy. read more

Really wonderful experience. This was my first time in a salt room. Everything was thoroughly explained to me. I felt myself breathing better after just 15 minutes in the room. The light therapy in the salt room was also a nice experience. read more
