    mixed set dolls eye 9-11mm

    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 :)

    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!

    mixed set, 9-12mm, wispy cat eye. Loved it!

    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!!

    Signature Mixed Set after (top) and before (bottom). Such a big difference for such a natural set.

    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!

    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!

    Went to this place a few weeks ago and it was amazing! The whole service process, eyelash extensions design, is was a great experience! 1. I like the interior design, made me feel relaxed and calm. 2. They will based on your personal preference and their professional opinions to design the eyelashes for you. 3. Smell soooo good!!! The room smell so good! I smelled 3-4 different scents during my eyelashes extensions. I love it! Definitely will recommend to all my friends!

    Mixed set kitten style

    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! It was another great experience with Dolly Effect and my lashes always come out great.

The retention has also been amazing. My lashes stay fluffy and full longer, and I've noticed little to no stickiness/fumes during the appointment which makes the whole experience way more comfortable (my fav nap). If you have sensitive eyes or hate that burning/watery-eye feeling from traditional lash extensions, UV lashes are honestly a game changer. On top of that, everyone here is so sweet, professional, and detail-oriented. The space is clean, relaxing, and they always make sure the lashes fit the look I want. Highly recommend if you've been curious about trying UV lash extensions or just want a more comfortable lash experience overall!

I have really high standards for my nails and The Nail Bar has always delivered! Their team has been able to deliver on every nail art request I've had. Their owner helps you connect with the tech best suited to your request. Their expertise helped me to identify that hard gel is best for my line of work (frequent hand washing and sanitizing, heavily physical at times). The hard gel never lifts no matter the growth, it's filed thin and natural looking, and the beautiful nail apex they create is probably the reason I have never had nail breakage-- of the gel or my own nail-- despite my work! Recommendation for new customers: definitely make an appointment or call before coming, whether for your full set or your repairs! While they take walk-ins, they are a BUSY salon. They are very accommodating, as they've done repairs for others in-between my own manicures. I've also witnessed their kindness towards more elderly clients they help into the salon chairs, etc. It's just a wonderful crew here. Thank you The Nail Bar!

Eventually, another woman came to get me. I booked my appointment a few days in advance, so I wasn't expecting to wait outside, but I understand that the business was very busy. To preface, I enjoy getting pedicures, but I don't use polish or gel because I prefer not to have anything artificial on my nails. My service was done much sooner than everyone else who had been sitting in the chairs before I arrived, possibly because I didn't use polish or gel? The chair was comfy, and the person who did my pedicure was kind, but it felt rushed since someone else was waiting for a pedicure chair. While I enjoyed the experience, I didn't think it was worth $50 plus tip. Because it's so close to where I live, I'll likely give them another shot on a quieter day to see if the experience is less rushed.

Also, booking is based on experience level and I chose a more junior tech, which is probably why it took longer. Next time I'd book with a higher master. I did get a small nick while they were cleaning my cuticle on one hand, which made me a little nervous, but they sanitized everything right away. They also started about 20 minutes late, but offered tea and chocolates which was a nice touch along with a gift bag since it was my first time at Yarco. Overall, amazing service and beautiful results. I already booked my next appointment and can't wait to see how they last!
