Beauty & Spas in Tanque Verde

At Savanna MedSpa, aestheticians combine a wide range of non-invasive therapies to refurbish ageing skin. The team’s repertoire includes treatments for a wide range of specific aesthetic concerns – including lasers for reducing hair and sun damage, acne-clearing facials, and skin-exfoliating chemical peels.

Led by Dr. Mark Chorebanian, the team at Mena's Aesthetics performs nonsurgical treatments and skin rejuvenation with multiple types of lasers. Clinician Mena Latas has traveled the country certifying offices in laser treatments. She specializes in reducing hair on darker skin tones with Palomar IPL lasers and treating acne with laser technology and chemical peels. Technicians clear complexions with medical-grade products, such as SkinMedica and Obagi Medical. To combat wrinkles caused by squinting at eye-chart wallpaper, certified injector administers Botox and dermal fillers.

As the Roxy behind Roxy Skin Care, Roxanne Rodriguez boasts more experience than the average aesthetician. Though she began her career working alongside physicians in med spas, she also spent nine years learning the ropes in the medical field, honing her clinical experience and determining whether or not ER was true to life. Today, Roxanne applies the knowledge she amassed to beautify skin with services including facials and chemical peels. Her freshly unveiled lactic acid resurfacer peel is one of her most powerful treatments, keeping hyperpigmentation and wrinkles at bay with the help of targeted microdermabrasion.

After being laid off from their jobs in real estate, Zeke Martinez and his wife Bernadette Martinez sought a way to stand out amid Tucson's crowded salon scene. When Bernadette began attending the Aveda Institute, she turned to her husband and said, "Let's just do it." Salon Kai, their marine-themed brainchild, stands out by using vegan and organic Unite Eurotherapy hair care products to beautify and style hair. "[We're the] only salon in Tucson that's creating hair and makeup using natural products," Zeke says. Their proactively green business ethic extends even to refreshments. Complimentary fruit-infused water comes to clients and stylists in reusable glasses, which are sanitized on-site, dried with quick-drying microfiber towels, and buffed by a blindfolded shoe polisher.

Zeke and Bernadette's team of bilingual stylists tend to strands amid an ocean-themed ambiance. "Kai," the Hawaiian word for ocean, was the guiding principle for the salon's décor, which includes bright cerulean walls and white ornate mirrors, whose filigree evokes swirls of a cresting wave's sea foam.

Stepping into A Day ‘N Nite Salon & Spa is like stepping off a plane and into a tropical paradise. Island music floats through the brightly colored space, pairing perfectly with the array of colorful, live flora and complimentary tropical drinks. Here, owner Lynda Walker—a beauty professional of more than 20 years—oversees her talented staff as they primp, preen, and pamper clients head to toe. In the salon, hairstylists shear locks for both men and women and add depth and sheen with professional color treatments. Meanwhile, hands and feet revel in luxurious manicures and pedicures, topped off with vibrant nail polish or shiny new brass knuckles. Aestheticians whisk clients into a private spa area, where they wax away fuzz from the face and limbs, and turn back the clock with facials and chemical peels.

Aside from beauty treatments, A Day ‘N Nite Salon & Spa also cares for internal wellness with therapeutic massages. Massage therapists call upon five different techniques—such as Swedish, deep tissue, and raindrop therapy—to assuage musculature aches and purge stress before leading clients to the Luau Party Yard or Outback Courtyard to unwind, sip on their island drink, and perfect their fire dancing.

At Glow Skin Care and Lashes' location inside Felisha's Salon, cosmetologist and aesthetician Melinda Spreng strives to boost patrons’ natural beauty via a slate of skin-smoothing services from waxing treatments to European facials. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in the spa industry, including her previous career at a destination spa, Melinda possesses knowledge of a wide variety of products, techniques, and skin types, which she now applies to personalized treatments at Glow.
