    Loved it! Usually it takes a little under 2 hours for a new set but this time it only took an hour. I love how natural they are too!

    This was my first time getting lashes and I had such a great experience! The staff were very welcoming and patient with all of my questions and took time to walk me through the process. I received my lashes on the second floor and the session is so comfortable and relaxing. The space is very clean and cute. I would highly recommend anyone who wants beautiful, natural lashes to come here.

    I recently moved to the Bay Area from Los Angeles and I was looking for a new lash place. I'll start by saying I'm particular about my lashes. My previous lash lady was extremely good. I stuck with her for four years before moving here. To give you an idea of how good she was, she used surgical/dental loupes to place extensions on my lashes and they would last 4-6 weeks. So when you find a good lash artist, it's hard to move on. I searched Yelp and tried Dolly Effect because it had multiple 5 start reviews. It may be acceptable for others, but it just didn't meet my standard. I went to two appointments. I will say they are more affordable than other salons. The lash technicians are gentle and the appointments are actually fast and comfortable. What I do not like is that they do not lash all the lashes they can. They just do enough until it looks nice. That's why the appointments are quick. I didn't mind it because I figured, the appointment was very affordable (even though it's venmo only). I gave it another try because even though they were not as good as my old technician, it was affordable and they were not spectacular or horrible. They looked good the first week and then okay-ish until you went for a fill. I had a normal amount of lash fallout but the twisting etc bothered me. The second time around is when I decided to quit. It looked okay initially but I notified the lash technician kept brushing my left eyelashes. I didn't think much of it until 7 days later. I noticed my eyelashes looked unusual but I couldn't figure it out because I've never had bad extensions before. It didn't look good but I figured I'd wait it out since my next fill was in two weeks. By the middle of the second week, it started really bothering me at work...I work in surgery so when your extensions are poking you in the eye as you are trying to work, naturally, you would be a bit upset. My extensions didn't look good and they were hurting me. The positive I will say is that Dolly Lash is very easy to contact. I texted them and they responded the next day during normal business hours and they were very professional in their response. I appreciate that. And they gave me my deposit back right away. In the end, I decided to just go elsewhere at another lash extensions location in Oakland that I feel meets my standard better although much more expensive. It's worth it to me as someone who loves lash extensions. PROS: Affordable, Gentle, Fast, Professional, easy to contact CONS: They do not lash every lash, I had a few extensions stuck to multiple of my lashes that caused discomfort, retention is ok

    (10 if I could!)…read more I've been seeing Lisa for 10 years, and she's truly in a league of her own. She does both hard and soft wax, which is rare, and somehow makes something that's normally uncomfortable feel completely easy and manageable. Her space is always immaculately clean and sterile, which makes the experience feel safe and professional. Every visit is gentle, efficient, and welcoming--she makes you feel completely at ease. If you want a wax done right, Lisa is hands-down the best--you'll never go anywhere else!

    Everyone needs to go to Lisa!…read more I've been going to her for years, she does all different types of wax and other services and she's always been so good with responding via text message because that's my main form of communication for most things and it totally works out! She will tell you what time she has open you just ask her what times you have open between XYZ or what day you plan to come in and she will let you know what time she has open for you to swing by! Very fast but extremely detail oriented so no need to worry about quality. I've only used her waxing services and I always come out clean and no problems directly after or later in the night (I know since I've been to other waxers until I found Lisa. I've never gone to another one since) Good parking around the block so parking isn't an issue, just make sure to look at street cleaning signs lol. The place is calm and clean and always welcoming. She's got music in the waiting area and always relaxing or throwback music which I appreciate! There's a bathroom in the waiting area you can use. Definitely ask her questions if you have any. She's got great tips on skin upkeep between waxes and more! I've never had one bad experience from her so that is awesome! I know she does hard and soft wax so that's a plus! Since certain areas you need certain wax textures. I religiously go to her monthly unless I'm out of town. Not much traffic so you don't need to worry about speeding cars. Wide streets so you can look both ways for cars and there are stop signs. Daly City so you might need a jacket but all good!

    06.24.2025 - My Go-To Spot for a Long-Lasting Gel Mani…read more This review is overdue. After trying several nail salons around town, I'm thrilled to have finally found my spot--Hillcrest Nail Salon. Tucked into a quiet residential pocket, this unassuming gem has quickly become my go-to for gel manicures that actually last. I'm talking nearly a month with minimal chipping! My nail tech, Thao, deserves a shoutout of her own. She's consistently precise, incredibly detail-oriented, and remarkably efficient. Somehow, she balances speed with meticulous care--my nails always look clean, even, and expertly shaped. She's the kind of tech who makes you feel like your hands are in the best hands. The pricing is very fair, especially considering the durability of the gel. And yes, the quality is there: no rushed jobs or cut corners. The salon itself is cozy, but clean and well-kept, and I've never had trouble booking a last-minute appointment thanks to their flexible scheduling. A few pro tips for first-timers: Ask for Thao if you want consistent, top-tier results. Bring cash to avoid the 3% card fee. Sign in for the rewards program--you'll rack up points pretty quickly if you're a regular. Parking can be tricky. There's a tiny lot around the corner, but it fills up fast. Street parking is your best bet, but be prepared to circle a bit, especially during peak hours. Why only 4 stars? Mostly due to the parking situation and occasionally long wait times even with an appointment. Still, the service keeps me coming back. If you're in the Hillcrest area and tired of gel manicures that lift after a week, give this place a try. It might just become your new favorite, too.
