I had a great lash extension experience at Dolly Effect! I was greeted when I walked in and given an iPad to fill out an intake form which asked about the type of look I'm going for and whether I had any allergies since this was my first time at Dolly Effect. After I was finished, I was given a quick consultation where I was able to pick the style, length, and curl that I wanted. It was super helpful to be able to see photos of the different styles as well as the curls. I went with the Enhanced Volume set in the cat eye style. I was then escorted to one of the lash rooms where I was given a blanket. The ambiance, decor, and music made me feel so relaxed! My entire appointment was around 2 hours from consultation to check out, and my lash technician was great - she was very gentle to the point where I fell asleep (I usually never do during my lash appointments elsewhere!). The finished set was very lightweight and did not irritate my usually-sensitive eyes. My eyes did not burn or tear up. Upon check out, I was given a cute little pouch with a spoolie, cleaning swab, and aftercare instructions. I'm so glad that Dolly Effect is opening up more studios around the Bay Area - they not only have the cutest minimalistic space, but their work is fantastic and it feels like a spa experience. I love my lashes! read more

My first time getting lash extensions! I was hesitant since my eyes are senstive, but the process was very easy and comfortable. The consultation and service took less than 2 hours overall. The receptionist was very thorough with the consultation and made sure I was award of the different options they had to offer. The overall application of the lashes was very relaxing. They applied tape around my eyes and I eventually fell asleep once my tech began. They play soothing music and the ambiance reminds me of a spa. My eyelash tech even gave me a brief head massage while the lashes dried. I was truly getting pampered! The lashes I chose were Mixed Kitten Eye styled and the length ranged from 10-12mm. They played an aftercare video after the service with detailed descriptions. I was really happy with the overall look and how durable the lashes feel. They're very secure and make my eyes look complete! UPDATE: I ended up getting an allergic reaction to the adhesive they use as eyelash glue and the studio was VERY KIND. They generously investigated where the irritation occurred and gave me several options to help find a solution. Since I had an allergic reaction, they offered to use a different adhesive for sensitivity! If you have sensitive eyes, I definitely recommend asking about this alternative. read more

I haven't had my lashes done since beginning of the year and what better way to get back into the routine than visit Dolly Effect's new location in Los Altos! If you know me, I'm a loyal Dolly Effect girl and I don't get extensions anywhere else. I was so excited to hear they were expanding and moving on down the Bay Area! Although this location is a bit far for me, I still made the trek out here to check out the new place! There is plenty of parking around the area and it's such a cute little downtown street. There are other things around too so after getting your lashes done, you can walk around the neighborhood as well. If you've been to their other locations, you'll notice this one looks a bit different. Definitely looks like a bougie upgrade, which I believe is part of their rebranding! It's modern and simplistic. Even though the environment feels different, the lashes are still the same! I usually get Volume but ended up doing Mixed set because so much of my natural lashes grew out. My current lashes look so full, I was surprised when I opened my eyes! The lash artist was very gentle during the whole process and I got a mini head massage at the end while we waited for my lashes to dry. Of course there is no other place I recommend to get lash extensions at than Dolly Effect! They have 3 locations now: Colma, San Bruno, and Los Altos. If you follow them on IG, they're about to open a 4th...! Can't wait for them to open closer to me and so happy to see them expanding along the Bay Area! Soon you'll be able to get your lashes done at your convenience, whichever location you're closest to!! read more

I recently got lashed with Dolly Effect for the second time. This time, I tried another location at - Los Altos. Walking in, everything was very nice and clean. I wanted light and natural lashes and my technician made sure to give me exactly what I asked for. I've already received many compliments about them! They make my eyes look pretty without being too much. During the session, I was able to take a quick nap and felt very relaxed during my whole service. I was offered blankets, pillows, and there was also nice ambient music playing in the background. At the end of the service, I was also given a head massage! I would highly recommend this place. read more

I recently visited Dolly's Effect for lash extensions, and I am so happy with my new set! I do not get my lashes done often, but I wanted them done for an upcoming trip and this set did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, the front desk worker was welcoming and made me feel comfortable. The space was clean and very minimalistic. The staff was super attentive and took the time to discuss the look I wanted and made helpful suggestions based on my eye shape. I went with a more natural mixed set 9-11mm. The application process was so relaxing that i fell asleep they made sure I was completely satisfied before I left and even adjusted it after she initially finished. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a new set of lash extensions!! They have multiple studios around the Bay Area which is super convenient :) read more

I had such a great experience at Dolly Effect at the Los Altos location! The front desk attendant was warm and welcoming--she took the time to go over my intake form where I indicated the kind of lash style I wanted to go for (natural/wispy/eyeliner effect). She explained the types of curls and lengths thoroughly since it was my first time. I was comfortable and relaxed the entire appointment, which lasted about 2 hours, and there was no discomfort or stinging throughout. My technician was very skilled and the result was exactly what I wanted! I'm so happy with how they turned out and have received many compliments! Not to mention the studio is super clean and calming. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best lash places I have ever been to! Walking in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the receptionist. Jenna and Kay helped me get set up and were super informative when helping me choose a set that I liked. They guided me through the lash lengths, the style I liked, and how curly I wanted the set to be. The best thing about them was that they were SO QUICK. If you have ever gotten lashes before, you will know that it commonly takes 2-3 hours (or more) for a set to be finished. I was super impressed because Julie finished my set in a little bit over an hour and the set was SO BEAUTIFUL. Overall, I had such a wonderful time and was amazed by how this establishment made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. This is a great place if you want trendy, natural-looking lashes!! read more

Dolly Effect - mixed set, 9-12mm, wispy cat eye. Loved it! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Los Altos, California

Great experience and great quality work! Very relaxing atmosphere, and they were very willing to work with my style and my overly sensitive eyes. I had long-lasting, beautiful lashes each time I went, and they helped me find a look that was pretty without obviously looking like extensions (my friends only noticed when I still looked like i had flawless mascara on first thing in the morning :)) read more

I am SO excited that Dolly Effect opened closer to me in Los Altos. I've been going to Dolly Effect in San Bruno and Colma for lash extensions since they first opened in 2017 and I wouldn't ever go to any other place. The management trains their lash techs with the highest standards before they begin working on clients. You can tell how skilled and meticulous they are in their work, and this is so important since they're working on eyes, an incredibly sensitive area. The service itself is so relaxing, usually, I fall asleep and then wake up with a fresh set of pretty lashes. It's a pain-free process and waking up every day with lashes on really is life-changing. Attentive, organized, and kind service-- always. I tell all my friends to come here and if you're thinking about getting lashes, do it! Dolly Effect never fails me! read more

Dolly Effect - Signature Mixed Set after (top) and before (bottom). Such a big difference for such a natural set. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Los Altos, California

BEST IN THE BAY! I decided to visit the brand new Dolly Effect today, and I had an amazing experience just like how I did at their Colma and San Bruno Studios. The front desk staff kindly guided me through the process and made sure I was accompanied by a lash technician with my desired type and style of lashes. There was no wait time at all--I liked their appointment reminders and great communication to confirm my appointment. The studio is super cute with minimalist colors and design, which looks high end while welcoming. You could tell they put in a lot of work to make the best out of customers' experience. I decided to go for a more natural look with a natural set, and they were SO PRETTY! I got so many compliments because they looked natural while noticiable, just like how I put on a little mascara. I am super happy with this experience and will definitely come back for a refill. Thank you, Dolly Effect! read more

I'm posting this on behalf of my wife: It was my first time at Dolly Effect in Los Altos and it will definitely not be my last. I contacted them via text and it was so easy booking and communicating.

During the actual lash extensions I fell asleep because the lash tech was so gentle. I love the results of my lashes and I get so many compliments on my lashes! read more

I just love Dolly Effect! I got my very first set of lashes in the Colma location and I was due for a fill so I went to Los Altos since it's closer to work. And wow! The service is good at this location too! I was greeted very kindly and Nicole at the desk was so personable and sweet. Made me feel so comfortable. Before getting started she confirmed with me the length and style of lashes I have and I was asked if I wanted to change anything. Now getting my lashes done was so relaxing. I didn't catch the name of my tech but she was so nice and gentle. I felt no discomfort. Then I even got a blanket put on me to make me more comfortable whaaaaat!

Even before getting my lashes on, I was impressed walking into the pretty ambiance the salon has. Since it was my first time getting lashes, I didn't know what to expect or what I wanted in terms of my eye shape. However, the staff made this process incredibly easy by giving tons of advice that matched what effect I wanted the lashes to give my look. During the service itself, I was relaxed and almost fell asleep a couple times. My lash tech was very skillful and attentive, as the whole process was pain-free. Right after the procedure, the staff made sure to teach me all about after-care, and this was very helpful. I am very happy and satisfied with my lashes, and I would definitely get my lashes done at Dolly Effect again. read more

This is my first time coming to this location as I have gone to other Dolly effect locations before. Every single one of them is clean and up to par.

I highly recommend coming here or to their other locations for lashes that last even 3-4 weeks! read more

I recently got my lashes done for the very first time here. I had an incredible experience from start to finish.

Ambiance: Super cute, aesthetic and classy salon. They play calming music which helped me relax during the service. Staff: Everyone was super kind! Since this was my first time getting lashes, I didn't know much about the process or what type of lashes I wanted. Luckily, one of the lash technicians guided me through a series of questions which determined which lashes matched my desired look. The entire process of booking the appointment to getting the lashes was a breeze. The staff is incredibly organized, and I really appreciate the reminders they send out. Lash service: My lash technician was very skilled, as I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during the whole process. I felt so relaxed, that I ended up falling asleep a couple of times. Results: I decided to go with the mixed set, since I wanted both a dramatic but natural look. I LOVE how my lashes turned out, and I can't wait to go back for a refill. read more

Came back for a refill and am happy with the results as expected! Always impressed with the standards Dolly Effect holds itself to.

first time at this place and the customer service was amazing. I am pretty picky about my lash places but would totally recommend to friends and family. When walking in, I was greeted by welcoming gestures and was guided through the consultation. It was a quick and easy process and they helped me pick a style that fit with my suggestions and my eye shape. Surprisingly, my mixed set only took about an hour and it was such a smooth process. I was able to fall asleep during that hour due to the comfortable seating, gentle handling, and calming music that was played! read more

I cannot recommend Dolly Effect enough, and it's all thanks to Kay!They specializs in beautifully crafted, personalized lash extensions. I knew very little about eyelash extensions before my visit, but Kay did an amazing job explaining my options and customizing my set for me. She took the time to conduct a thorough consultation with me to help determine what length, curl, and shape best suits my eyes, taking into consideration both my style preference and the current health of my natural eyelashes. Kay was very patient and attentive to my needs and preferences, and the results were exactly what I wanted! The application procedure was so relaxing that I even fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was stunned by how gorgeous my new lashes looked. I no longer need to apply mascara and have even stopped using eyeliner entirely, which is extremely convenient. I love how I look!

I came to Dolly Effect for my first ever lash extensions because my friend recommended this place. I don't wear make up and my biggest fear is coming out the salon with 2 butterflies overwhelming my monolid eyes. I have gotten a lash lift before which was too natural in my opinion, so I was looking for my lashes to be somewhere in between a lash lift and falsies. I ended up choosing the natural Dolly set with the longest lashes being 11mm. My lash tech Sabrina did an amazing job! She was very meticulous and my lashes actually came out looking n a t u r a l. It just looks like I have naturally long lashes on camera, and in person it looks like I used the best mascara of my life. I would definitely go back. I will say that they have a regular glue and a sensitive option. I opted for the regular glue and my eyes did burn a bit but after my extensions were done, the burning subsided. If you think you have eye or skin sensitivities, I would suggest asking for them to use their sensitive glue instead. read more
