I started going to the Gadabout, on Oracle, about six months ago, and I'm really happy with the results! My stylist is Lex, and she's great! If you have questions about your hair, Lex can answer them; or, if you have questions about your skin, Lex can answer them also. She is not only is an expert, and a professional, but she's a really nice person also! In addition, whatever you need for your personal appearance, Gadabout can help. I depend totally upon Lex, she is fabulous!

The place was nice, and the people at the front desk were super nice and welcoming. It was packed with people getting their hair done. Most everyone seemed happy to be there. However, my service was not fantastic. I called a few days before, which might have been why... since I didn't book far in advance. I made an appointment to get my hair done for a wedding. The groom was a former hairstylist so I knew I needed to get it done professionally and not try to wing it in a hotel bathroom. I relayed this to the person on the phone, and she placed me with a person who has no experience with up-dos. I understand that in order to get experience, you have to practice.... but that did not mean I needed to pay a good amount of money to have my hair done... for practice. The entire appointment she was asking the women around her for help and advice. She wasn't apologetic about it either. I tried to make small talk but it seemed like she wasn't paying attention. She asked me three times if I lived in Tucson. I do not. I even talked about how I live in Colorado a few times and she still asked me if I lived there afterwards. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed. I picked a style that matched my hair length and texture. So it wasn't like I was asking for something that didn't make sense. When I left my hair was frizzy, only half the hair on the bottom layer was curled, and there were big bumps from the styling popping out. There were also big gaps of hair between the strands that laid on my forehead in an unflattering way. I was too embarrassed and frankly a little worried to tell her it was nothing like I wanted. I was afraid of what she would try to do to fix it. If anything (she didn't seem like she wanted to be there to begin with.) So I just paid and left. Luckily I had bobby pins in my overnight bag. I took a few of hers out and pushed down some of the bumps and replaced them in ways that looked sleeker and more put together. I also sprayed some frizz calming spray to reduce the frizz a bit. My hair was ok. It wasn't amazing. I usually get my hair done at local salons for weddings, so I know that it can be amazing! I think I was just paired with the wrong person. Luckily the groom didnt mention how awful it was. Also --- it took three days to brush out all the knots from the teasing... crazy.

I have been coming here for decades. Olivia is the best for brows and facials. I have seen Pati for my hair care for years, but Mariah and Cameron have done my hair too and are equally fabulous. The online reservation system is easy to use.
