Essentials Day Spa & Salon

Marcie Palmer is as good as it gets! She knows color and her cuts are perfect. She is easy to share ideas with and will give her honest opinion on styles suited for my specific hair needs. Plus, she’s always on time and courteous to me… A rare find in the hair industry.

Not very happy considering all the reviews.
I got a gel mani here 2 days ago. While the staff is nice, I don’t have much positive to say after that.
I’ll start with my main complaint: My nails have already chipped, NOT worth $ 30+tip! One nail on each hand. If this was a regular manicure, I’d say it’s fine, but this is Gel which can usually last almost 3 weeks on my nails without chipping & i’ve had them done at a variety of places
Here are the rest of my complaints.
1. The color selection is extremely limited.
2. The manicurist considers shellac the same as gel, which it is not.
3. Not well ventilated!
4. the supplies seem dated and don’t seem to be to code (at least compared to other places).
5. my gel mani took 1hr 45 minutes. Glad I wasn’t in a rush to be anywhere.

I have been going to Denice for over 10 years. She has transformed my skin. I suffered from bad acne and large pores. My pores are almost not noticeable now. I can’t express how much I appreciate her. She is the best!!!

I recently received a gift card for a massage with Katey at Essentials Day spa. Prior to this I wasn’t aware that this spa was in Lodi. I initially had a hard time finding it, but in driving around the parking lot I realized the spa is located upstairs and can be a little challenging to see if from street level.
The salon and spa are very nice and all the staff are friendly and welcoming. Katey does an amazing job at massages and her room is beautifully decorated and is a restful, peaceful setting. I would highly recommend!

Sundi is awesome too! Excellent Hair Dresser! I almost don’t want to do this review so that I won’t have a hard time booking with them in the future, but I’m a sharing type. I just love this place!

Natalia is the best!!! Definitely booking again with her!!! Waxing was painless!!! Had full legs and a playboy done all at once and barely felt any pain!!! Got an appointment pretty fast. Very professional and clean environment! =)

The short: Came in for a massage left a happy customer
The long: Had a pinched nerve or a tweaked muscle in my back that I had been unable to get fixed using the normal methods so I started looking around for a massage. I ran across Essentials and saw it had good reviews and specifically for the massages so I called to make an appointment. they managed to squeeze me in that day in a few hours time. I arrived a little before my appointment since I knew there would be paperwork. I was soon in a room explaining my problem and then quickly on the table. Erin used a few techniques on me that I had not had before and although she didn’t do so much of the traditional muscle rubbing massaging in the end I felt good. Not only did I leave relaxed but after a little while of relaxing once I got home my back eased up on me and I was all fixed up.
What works: Good staff and great service
What to improve: Not much I can point out

I have gotten about 7 massages here from Erin. She is absolutely amazing. I’ve lived in Lodi for about 5 years and have tried numerous people for massages, but after finding Erin I only go to her. She always works on my target areas, has strong hands, and is incredibly nice. She is always willing to give me pointers for massaging at home to relieve pain (ex: cramping or chronic lower back pain). She’s even photocopied books for me on information on essential oils for pain relief. I recommend her to EVERYONE! She is reasonably priced and runs a lot of specials. I absolutely love her and this salon!

My appointment was 9:30 but they didn’t actually start on me till 9:40. However, their service made up for it. I got my nails done by Ann and she was incredibly sweet and patient. Definitely ask for her! Her pedicures were amazing as well.

Get your nails done by Linda & Anny. They do amazing work! Great service and Great location in Lodi.

I get my nails done here by Linda and she’s always amazing. I go see her every two weeks and have never loved a nail technician more than her. I high recommend going to Linda for all your nail needs. :)

I got a massage from katey ferrill today and let me tell you she has the most strong hands in a women that i have ever felt. She sure knows how to deep tissue. The only complaint i have is that she was to rough on my neck. No happy ending here so do not expect it if you plan on going for that

Deep Tissue massage is the best. Katie is very, very good.
Denise is outstanding for facials and skin treatment.

Quickest, least painful brazillian I’ve gotten! I’ll be back! :)
