Worth Flying For

by mdemetras

The first time I came here, I was speechless.

I'm not really a nail girl. I usually just wait till the ends get somewhere past my nailbed and cut them haphazardly. I never liked the over-done, over-manicured look and equated it with pancake makeup. But the reality is, that clean and neat nails make a huge difference in your appearance. And after my mother started coming here, she stuck a twenty in my hand and convinced me to try them out.

After witnessing the results of Andy's work at Lodi Nails & Spa, I realized what a fool I had been! He listened to me and cut them very short like I had asked and was careful during each step, taking his time. Absolute perfection. And to my amazement, the nails lasted for two weeks before I had to go in for a fill.

I literally fly from Los Angeles to Lodi so I can get my nails done here. I've been all over Hollywood and Weho nail salons, even spending $30 for a fill (!), but everywhere pales in comparison.

Don't let the mini mall detour you, you get more than you pay for.

• Pros: walk-ins, $18 for a set $13 fill, clean, detail orientated
• Cons: none!
