Lash extensions are not new to me in the slightest, and I am not ashamed to say I have jumped from artist to artist looking for a perfect Goldilocks who can give me a set I genuinely love lol Queue Anh! She responded super fast and we set up an appointment like. A day or two before. It was on a whim, but I have a conference to go to for work and I just wanted a little extra something. When I get to her studio, her lash room was super cozy and warm which is fantastic and relaxing. She asked me what I wanted and listened to me ramble about this ideal set I wanted. She asked me about curl and length which I've never been ASKED by another artist, normally they just do and I inquire after what they used. I mentioned I specifically wanted my eyes more almond-y bc they're normally super round and I don't like it. SHE DELIVERED. the set is soooo cute. She said it was like. Kitten, Angel, something something but damn I am in love. I should've brushed them out prior to this photo but idc because they still look cute. My eyes have this nice slim look, which I've been waiting for someone to do. For some reason every artist does the same open eye doll like thing and super heavy, but not her!!! They look soft, wispy, and spiky. Not just a chunk of thickness. Love love love. read more

Cilia Studio - Kitten! - Eyelash Service Near Me

Anh did an amazing job, saving my lashes from the previous butcher job that was done by another lash artist that I saw on a whim during my trip to Hawaii. I was able to book an appointment easily online and sent in a $40 deposit via Venmo to hold my appointment slot. Anh texts you instructions to get to the small private studio (1 bed, 1 client at a time). When you get there, dial 423 to be buzzed in. Thank you so much Anh for taking the extra time to detangle my lashes, work around the super long lengths that were left, and making sure the new fill looked very even and filled the gaps as closely as possible. It's difficult for a lash technician to do foreign fills and some won't do them at all, and Anh did a great job of being gentle with my natural lashes. I asked for my previous artist to put 12mm lashes on, but Anh let me know that she had actually put on 14-15mm, which is why the old extensions were so heavy and long on my natural lashes. I asked for her to do 9-12mm light wispy volume fill ($165 before tip - $115 for light volume fill, plus $25 for foreign fill, plus $25 for wispy, minus $40 from deposit) from inner to outer corner, and the new lashes were so light I couldn't believe how great they looked when I opened my eyes. She had such a gentle hand and is so quiet that I fell asleep, and since I prefer not making conversation that was perfect for me. It's been almost a week, and only a few fans have fallen out (the natural process of lashes falling out) so retention looks to be pretty good. I'm glad to have found a lash artist close by who has a light hand, great work, and is very professional. Looking forward to getting more fills and full sets. read more

Cilia Studio - light wispy volume foreign fill ($165 before tip) - Eyelash Service Near Me

Ahn is one of the people I am looking forward to seeing most once shelter in place is over. She is meticulous, knowledgeable and so friendly. I've been really happy with every appointment I've had with her. I have had both lift and extension services (classic and volume). She's very attentive and helps you understand your lash health (against the look you want to achieve) and has great tips for how to care for your lashes. To put into perspective: she knows when I am not using my lash serum on the regular because my lashes are weaker and therefore what my lashes can take on changes. She helps me understand what I can and can do which also means I can make smart decisions and reduce the risk of unnecessary fallout (read: balding). I actually used to have a bald spot on my left eye. But with religious use of a lash serum it's been able to grow back even with my extensions. I have long but straight Asian lashes and go for a doll-eye look to help open my eyes more. What I love is we started with 14s (cause I love a little drama) but realized (against Ahn's reco) that they are too big for my face and so finding a better balance and moving down will help enhance my face without it just being about my lashes. Also, such a trendsetter: Ahn makes a point to wash her hands upon guest entry. Pre-COVID life. Further, she's gotten her Barbicide certification to take all the precautions necessary to ensure hers and her clients safety once she can reopen. BONUS: Her location is prime as it's only a few blocks away from Tartine Manufactory (clutch for coffee and treats). read more

Officially obsessed with lash lifts! It was my first time, and I was honestly so lost as far as what was going to happen. I know everyone is different, but my lashes have been curled for the last 7 weeks and are still holding up. It's insane. It's allowed me to be so much lazier when getting ready for work and I. Love. It. Anh was super calm and professional and dealt with my TWEAKED OUT eyes. She could tell I had a couple of cups of coffee, because my eyes just kept twitching! It took the full hour, and she kept the conversation light and easy going the whole time. I'm pretty sure if someone wanted to just plug in their headphones, they could do that too! It did smell like regular perm stuff, but it wasn't too strong. Super easy to book - just send her a text and she'll let you know the details. It's $40 to hold your appointment, and the space itself it just a little room where she takes her appointments, one at a time, but she is AMAZING. Once my lashes aren't curly anymore, I'll give them a month to rest before going in again. read more

I did lash extensions once before I met Anh. And that's not a good experience. The lash looks uneven and heavy. I could feel it all the time. I won't blame that lash artist because I have very fine lash. I thought perhaps lash extension is just not suitable for me. But Anh did amazing job! She saved my lash extensions experience. The lash is so natural and beautiful!! It's light too, I couldn't feel anything on my lash. And her price is affordable compared to other expensive lash services. read more

Cilia Studio - Eyelash Service Near Me

I found Cilia's studio on Yelp, most of the reviews were for extensions, but since I already have fairly long lashes, I wanted something that looked natural. When I messaged her (through yelp) about a Lash Lift/Tint. She was quick to respond. I was able to set an appointment all through the app. Total cost $100 with tip. Lashes are said to last 4-6 weeks. It's week 2 and they still look like the day I got them. The whole process takes about an 1 hr and 45mins. No complaints! read more

I found Anh through yelp. At first, I was a little hesitant because she didn't have that many reviews but it's probably because her business is relatively new. I read through each review, looked through the pictures and gave this place a try and I'm so glad I did! I've had lash extension plenty of times before but this time around, I wanted lash lift and tint. My lashes were long but were also straight. They also didn't hold curls that well without waterproof mascara. I didn't want to damage my lashes by curling them everyday but I want to have curled and fluttery lashes. So, lash lift was another option next to extension. I've never had a lash lift before and was looking around for salons that would offer this service. Since, it's my very first time, I had to make sure that the product would be suitable for my skin. I contacted Anh if I could get a patch test and asked a bunch of questions before the actual service. She was very helpful. She answered all my questions and she also provided a patch test to ensure there wouldn't be a disastrous allergy reaction. Fast forward, I got my patch test and no allergy reaction then following up to the day I got my lashes lifted. It was a straight forward process. It took about 1-1.5? It went by fast because Anh was personable and we were chatting it up. My experience with And was very pleasant. She was friendly, honest, and has reasonable rates. The end result, my eyes went from sad straight lashes to happy curled lashes. P.S Like what the other reviews mentioned, you will have to pay a deposit to hold your appointment time (which I think it's fair). Anh is understandable so just text or call her to let her know if you need to reschedule and/or is running late. Also, follow the instructions that she gives you to find the building. It can get confusing but the instructions are straightforward and will help you find the place. read more

Ive lived in SF for 7 years and as someone who has tried dozens of lash spots I can safely say these are the BEST lashes in SF. I am incredibly picky with my lashes (and really anything) and Anh gets it right every single time. She is very knowledgeable on the types of lashes that will work best on your natural lashes, and is also able to achieve the look that you want. She does a fantastic volume set (which is hard to find). They always last a long time and I continue to get compliments on my lashes all the way up until my next fill. My lashes have held up and stayed healthy because she does great, quality work. If I could give more stars I would. read more

Cilia Studio - Eyelash Service Near Me

I've been going to Anh for over a year and a half. Her work is consistently flawless and meticulously done. I always get a lot of compliments--a lot of people think my lashes might be real since they look super natural :) Anh really cares about the quality of her work and her clients. She is direct and honest; she will tell you what is suitable for your lashes so they don't get all twisted and damaged. Bonus is she's always been there to answer some of my neurotic questions about my lashes and she's a joy to chat with. read more

I got a classic set from Anh prior to my wedding. I never had lash extensions before and she was super helpful in talking me through the options. I wanted something natural but would still show up in most photos, and I got exactly that. I didn't experience any of the eyelash extension issues that some friends had warned me about (pain, redness, etc), I assume because Anh just does a great job. She was also just really fun to chat with, which made the appointment seem to go much faster. 5 weeks later, there are still some lashes left and they still look natural! I can't recommend Anh enough. read more

Anh is a very nice person and seems like she knows what she's doing, however I had a less than ideal experience and her kindness and small talk doesn't affect the overall quality of work... I booked a light classic lash extension with her Saturday. Took about an hour, the session was fine. Quiet. Peaceful. I typically like for the technicians to explain what they're doing so I understand the process better but she barely spoke. Which I don't mind.. just meant if I was curious about something I had to ask. Hard to know what you're curious about if you can't see anything though (eyes are closed for the entire session). Within a day of my extensions appointment my lashes were shedding and by day 2 it looked like I barely had anything done. I had wanted them done in advance of a Mexico trip.. so I asked for a touch up and she informed me it would be the full price of a touch up.. aka $65. Typically I would not go for it... that's super steep considering I JUST got them done 2 days ago but if I was going to have them done for my vacation, I might as well have them done right so I swallowed my pride and accepted the $65 charge. She squeezed me in last minute on a Tuesday night (very kind of her) touched up my lashes and gave me some super bonding glue or something in hopes it would stay better. Next morning, same thing... tons had already fallen off. I don't sleep on my face, didn't get them wet for 24 hours as indicated in aftercare... It's now 2 days after my touch up and I'm pretty much once again at my original lash situation... barely anything left and I'm out 190 bucks ($105+$65+tip). I would not go back.. but hey, maybe lash extensions just aren't for me (I find this hard to believe, lashes should be able to last more than 2 days)... UPDATE: I have been away on my bachelorette trip (mexico) since posting the original review. As seen in Anh's comment she has been texting me asking if we can talk. However it was clear that her intent was for me to remove my review here. It wasn't to help solve my retention issue as she seems to allude to in her reply, it was trying to figure out how we can work out a plan that would include me removing this review! I have not responded to her cause 1. I've been on vacation on my bachelorette, got back literally this morning... 2. I think it's sketchy to ask your clients to remove their honest reviews. I could post the screenshots of texts if I truly wanted to, have them all saved.. however I will leave just this updated review. read more

I have been going to Anh for the past 8 months now, and she is a GEM! The products she uses are professional and she is so very talented at what she does. My eyelash extensions look so natural and they last long, so I have been a very loyal client of hers. I will always recommend her business to anyone who asks! read more

Cilia Studio - Hybrid :) - Eyelash Service Near Me

I moved to SF in January and my first order of business was finding a lash artist. I (and I cannot emphasize this enough) am so lucky I found Anh! I've gotten my lashes done in Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, and DC and Anh is by far an industry leader. The first time I got a full set from her, it was nearly a full month before I needed a fill -- which for anyone who gets lashes regularly, that is so unheard of! Anh is so easy to talk to (helllooo, free therapy) and takes the time to strategize lash design (after a couple of month of visiting her, I wanted to make my regular lash style a little more dramatic and she dedicated the time to walk me through options/solutions). Aside from her incredible work quality, Anh's personality and willingness to work with her clients is astounding. Some of the instances where she's gone above and beyond include: - changing her schedule to accommodate me when I didn't book in time before an event or trip - helping me take a conference call while she was working on me! I had a client call that got rescheduled right in the middle of my appointment, and not only was she gracious enough to let me take a call, but because my eyes were closed, she dialed into the call for me and put it on speaker! Talk about customer service! For what you get with Anh and Cilia Studio, she could honestly charge double and I'd still be coming back. read more

I have been getting my eyelashes done by Anh for a while now. She is absolutely amazing! The woman before her was using way too much glue and putting lashes on multiple lashes causing them to break off and damage my natural lashes. She nursed my eyelashes back to health and gave me tips on how to maintain healthy lashes. She is also super friendly and it is always a good time when I get my lashes done. I wouldn't dare go to anyone else. She sincerely cares about the health of your lashes and wouldn't do anything to damage them. I completely trust her when it comes to my lashes. read more

Let's be real. I'm a college student who wants to look cute. If you are like me and are all looking for a reasonably priced yet experienced lash artist, you've found her! I opted for the Light Classic set today, since it's my first time getting lash extensions, ever. I love them so far, and was so shocked when I realized how light these are! I feel nothing on my eyes, which is fantastic because I've stumbled upon stories of irritated eyes at higher end studios. Besides Anh's superb work, she was very easy to chat with. I usually am not talkative at appointments like these but had such a nice chat with her. Some how we discovered that she knows my cousin?? Small world. The studio is also perfect if you want to stay silent and relax. Anh has lavender diffusing in the room and calming tunes for you to doze off to. Anyway, look no further if you are looking for a lash artist (lash tech?) who is honest, a pleasure to work with, and a perfectionist in her craft. I'll be back in 3 weeks! read more

Anh is wonderful! I was looking for a reasonably priced place to go get a lash lift and tint before I committed to a full set of extensions. I came across this place, and I know some people may be hesitant because she has very little reviews, but don't be! Her business is newer, but the 5 stars is totally in line with her services. She takes her time, and listens to exactly what you want. She's also super easy to talk to (which TG because who wants to lay down for 2 hours and have awkward company). Don't worry, if you're not a talker, she'll let you catch some Zzz's while she does her thing. I really love my lash lift/tint (I have yet to shower, but fingers crossed they look even better after). She said the tint should last a few weeks, while the lift will last 6-8 weeks. I'll report back. I think next time I decide to splurge and have another bad habit, I will definitely go for the full classic set. PS: make sure to read her text about how to get into the building, it can be a little confusing. Thank you Anh, I will definitely be back :) read more

I have been to a good number of lash artists around the Bay Area. I know what it means to have an okay vs. good vs. great set. Come to Cilia Studio if you want that great set that seems so elusive! I'll be honest - I wasn't sure what to expect because Anh is younger than other artists I've gone to. Her care and the results quieted any doubt I had... she did such a great job. She's honest about the material, the kind of curl, and the shape you should pursue. I'm very picky so this recommendation does not come lightly: I've only gone once but so far, I'm loving her work. Her prices are great, to boot. Thanks, Anh! read more

I found Anh through yelp and decided to try getting a lash lift and tint from her. It was very easy to make the appointment online abd all of the services and prices are listed on the booking site. You do need to put down a $40 deposit through Venmo for the appointment to secure your time. I was running late to my appointment due to public transit struggles but Anh was very understanding and gracious about it. We ran out of time to do the tint, which is fine because totally my fault for being late, so I was honestly just grateful that she still did my lash lift for me and it turned out great! Very natural and evenly spaced out with no clumps. Anh was also very friendly and sweet throughout the process.I highly recommend coming here and trying out her lash services! read more

I've been seeing Anh for well over a year and have been very pleased with the lash extensions she does. They look great, she's worked with me quite a bit to get exactly what I want, and she's so gentle I've fallen asleep in her chair. She's also just a really nice person and so pleasant to chat with during my appt. I'm excited for her reopening and already booked an appointment! read more

This was my first time getting eyelash extensions after debating the pros and cons of extensions. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I got mine done by Anh. She made sure she understood my preferences and the look I wanted. In the end, the results were better than expected!!! I'm definitely thinking of coming back for touch-ups!! :) Really loved the vibe in the room. It was very comfy and the music was very soothing! read more

An overdue review: I've been going to see Anh for lash extensions for over a year and I wouldn't keep going if I didn't love it! Not only does she make sure that you have a great atmosphere to lay down for an extended amount of time but I know that she really cares about the health of my lashes. Anh lets me know how my lash growth is doing (which is kind of hard for me to see myself) and lets me know what I can do to keep them looking fresh and clean. She's always super friendly when I come in and I feel like she makes great connections with her clients. I'm super glad that I found this place and 10/10 recommend! read more

Anh is extremely thorough and detail oriented. I wanted dramatic lash extensions for a dance performance and they looked fabulous! The space is easy to get to. read more

Since moving to San Francisco I have been on the hunt for a favorite lash place, and this is definitely it! Anh is amazing at lash lifts and has definitely gotten the process down to be as simple and fast as possible! Her booking is extremely easy and her schedule a lot more open than other places in the city I've tried. My lashes stay lifted for the whole six weeks at a price cheaper than other SF lash spots! read more

I have been getting lash extensions on and off for three years. After moving to SF, I had to find a new lash artist, which I was sort of happy about since I wasn't crazy about my previous lashes, they were just ok. I found Anh on yelp and I'm so glad I did. For the first time i consistently loved the results! Besides her meticulous work, she is a great conversationalist which makes the time laying in the chair much more comfortable. Anh is a true artist, she is passionate about her art, and it shows in the quality of her work. My lashes stay on great without any twisting or damage to my own lashes. 10/10 recommend! read more

I got a lash lift here a month and a half ago and unfortunately have been really disappointed by the results. My lashes have been going all different directions with some more curled than others. I've just been waiting for them to go back to normal. read more

I use to get my eyelashes done in Tokyo and struggled to find a great spot in SF, especially one that isn't $200 for a set. Anh's work is great and she has a true attention to detail. I've tried both her extensions and eyelash lift now and think she's one of the best! Her extensions are reasonably priced even with the recent increase. The eyelash lift is a tad pricey at $100 but again, it's quality work. read more

Just wanted to update my review since I'm still coming here for my lashes! I'm in San Francisco every summer, and Anh is my go-to person for lashes in the area. She's really receptive to the type of style I want and always gives me good feedback on what she thinks would look best. To this day, a year later, I've never walked out of my appointment being displeased. I've also never had any retention issues, and my lashes are always kept in good shape. Would recommend Anh for lashes especially if you're a first-timer! read more

I LOVE Anh! She's super detail oriented and my lashes look amazing! I see her every 3-4 weeks and appreciate that she's always on time starting my appointment and making sure I'm out within the allotted time. So happy to have found my Lash girl here in SF! read more

I kinda wish I had reviewed this sooner. After several very successful visits to Cilia studio, I was paired with an eyelash technician other than Anh. And the difference of quality was very apparent. Anh is truly amazing!! But if you get booked with anyone else, I suggest you politely decline and request only Anh. My extensions fell off within one week when installed by another technician, which was deeply disappointing since I had grown to love Cilia studio. I have since taken my eyelash extension care elsewhere but absolutely recommend this place if you can get an appointment with Anh!! read more

I was recommended Cilia Studio from a friend after I had shared how badly my first set of lash extensions went. The first thing I noticed with Ahn is how communicative she was. She asked me if I had extensions before, what kind of look I was hoping to go for and why she would/wouldn't recommend certain extensions. Additionally, I appreciated how she would tell me what step of the process she was on while my eyes were closed ie. wetting my lashes, sanitizing, etc. Needless to say, Ahn nailed what kind of look I was aiming for and I've been extremely satisfied with the condition of my natural lashes (speaks to her precision and care). Since my lashes are naturally pretty long, Ahn recommended that I try lash lifts next, again, explaining every step to me. I have always been curious about lash lifts but have not gotten them done out of fear that my natural lashes would be damaged. However, having seen how Ahn works, I know that I am in great care and cant wait to experiment with my look. read more

Love this place! Low key and easy to get to. I was new to lashes but Anh always took the time to answer my questions and over time we tried out various new styles of lashes until I could find what works best for me. I book regularly for touch ups, pretty sure I'm addicted to lashes now :) read more

I've been going to Anh for about 8 months now and I can truly say she's an amazing lash technician! I've been getting my lashes done for about 3 years at various places and she's the only one I've returned to. I'm obsessed. She's clearly passionate and knowledgeable about her work. She has the softest touch, is easy to talk to if you want (or you can just nap, she doesn't mind), and answers all the questions/concerns I have each time they come up. Scheduling with her is easy and I can't recommend her enough! Her prices are very reasonable and the quality of her work is outstanding. I get compliments even up to the time of my next fill. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about Cilia and her work! I went to her for my first ever lash extension appointment and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She took the time to answer all of my questions and was honest with what she thought would be suitable for my lashes along with listening to what I wanted. I am always so happy with how natural they look, along with how meticulous she is when she does her work. I completely trust her opinion and abilities and am always so happy with the finished look. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her! read more

Anh is the best! I was so happy when she opened her studio and have been going ever since. She works meticulously and professionally and I'm always super happy with the results. Have never had any issues with retention, irritation or any of those things. The only problem is that other people have realized how great Anh is, and it's getting difficult to get appointments sometimes ;) Love this place - please never leave!! read more

Lashes lasted a month! They give you specific directions how to care for them that other places skip. I've had my lashes come off 3-4 days in too many times to waste any more of my time or money. read more

I found this place on yelp and decided to try to do my first lash extensions ever. I did a light classic set with Cece and changed my mind right after I got it done, she was super nice to fit me into her schedule the next day and I got to do a full classic. Over all I really liked the way my lashes turned out, they looked really natural and pretty! I recommend this place, hope y'all would try it out too read more

This review is long overdue! I've been going to Anh for about 6 months and have always been very happy with my lashes. Anh is professional and her prices are reasonable. I have never had an issue with my lashes lasting the full 3 weeks if I take proper care of them. Highly recommend! read more

Anh is my go-to person for lash extensions! I've booked with her three times now and will continue to go back. I get touch ups about every three weeks and they always look amazing. Her lash placement is precise. read more

Anh is truly an amazing skilled eyelash technician. She clearly explained and answered my questions and concerns. Throughout the whole procedure, she made sure I was doing fine. The place is small, but very cozy. There's a very pleasant herbal scent in the room with relaxing music. I received the classic full set, which took approximately 1.5 hours. After the procedure, I has no redness or irritation, which I was real pleased. Ill definitely come back to her for more! read more
