Best of the Bay 2007, San Francisco Magazine
“Bachelorette Bash, Future Classic: Spa Dee Dah founders Ellen Olson, an aethestician, and Andrea Turner, a massage therapist, throw mobile spa parties with all-natural facials, makeovers, and massages, but they buck wellness principles with cocktails, DJs - even pole-dancing lessons for the girls. Since starting the company last year, they’ve become the go to source damsels who want to destress privately in the company of wild and crazy friends.” – San Francisco magazine

“The Oakland-based duo can transform any space (so long as it’s eight by ten) into a private treatment room for facials and massages. They use organic, ecofriendly products (by Rhonda Allison, Pharmacopia, and Astara) and cater all kinds of events. Your pal… will get the message that you love her. Loud and clear.” – Daily Candy

“Damsels are skipping their formal spa appointments and de-stressing at home, thanks to Oakland-based Spa Dee Dah, a company that brings decadent facials, massages and pomegranate-champagne cocktails to clients’ homes. They use environmentally friendly, all natural skin care products and offer an array of unusual pampering parties, like to Gidget-inspired beach bash, or birthday gatherings featuring zodiac sign cocktails created by mad-scientist mixologists. Couples Night is specially designed for lovebirds living in the East Bay, and includes a bottle of champagne and soft music to set the mood. For large parties, Spa Dee Dah even throws in a DJ and burlesque instructor, if you’re so inclined.” – Oakland magazine

“It’s hard to harbor too many qualms when it comes to getting the royal treatment at a spa. But even when luxury dons a big, fluffy robe and inhabits a warm, candlelit, aromatherapy-infused treatment room, the atmosphere might be a bit too stifling for even the most zealous spa-ster. Add to all the formality increasingly draconian spa policies (no talking above a whisper, mind you) and the awkwardness of lounging in the waiting room with tons of other magazine-skimming clients, and even the most epicurean establishment can leave a little something to be desired.

This is when house calls can be just what the doctor ordered. Enter Spa Dee Dah, an Oakland-based at-home spa company that delivers on uber-pampering, while dispensing with all the rules and rituals that can make your typical spa feel more tedious than restful. And if you’re feeling the need for just a wee bit of hedonism, unnecessarily commodious locker rooms can easily be traded in for a simple bolster, massage table and microwaveable moist towels. And who needs a steam room when there’s nothing more hedonistic than a post-treatment nap?” – SF Station

“Trend alert! Our single gal pals are partying with Oakland-based Spa Dee Dah, a mobile spa that brings facials, massages, and cocktails to clients’ homes. But here’s the kicker: The company’s themed bachelorette soirees eschew the typical spa experience by allowing ladies to be as loud as they wanna be. Better than girls’ night out? We think so.” – Moxxie

“Since becoming a mother 9 years ago, going to a spa or having ‘pampering’ services has moved lower and lower on the list of things that I can find time to do. Not that it was a huge part of my life prior to children, but at least I could plan a day away with girlfriends, get a massage and facial, and relax. These days, the sheer thought of going to a spa is formidable. Where is it? How much is parking? Who is going to watch the kids? What if my childcare arrangements for that day fall through? How much are the services? It’s enough to make it a challenge that I’m not interested in conquering… until I heard about Spa Dee Dah, a mobile spa service. Founded last year by an esthetician and a massage therapist, Spa Dee Dah is a way for you to organize a spa day for yourself and your friends at your own house.… How fast are you going to call them?” – Modern Mom
