    Extension stuck to four lashes
    Suechu T.

    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

    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.

    Kitten style, mixed set, 12mm

    Worth the money. The past 2 times I've been were on Sundays and I was threaded right away. I have…read morebeen getting my eyebrows waxed since FOREVER, so during my first time getting threaded...My right eye hurt so bad, but it was so worth it. It literally felt like what was happening, 2 strings rubbing against your skin which was uncomfortable, but the results were on point. I didn't have to come back until about a month later whereas, waxing would grow back in 2 weeks. I also didn't look as red vs. waxing. Just make sure you tell them it's your first time if it, so they can give you instruction on how to stretch your skin.

    I used to come here all the time, this was my go-to spot. Even now, in a pinch, I would probably…read morestill come back. Sometimes you get lucky with great work, other times not so much. I also followed Amar from her previous location in Serramonte, which shows how much I trusted their work. However, over time I've noticed a decline in quality. I'm not sure if it's because they've built a loyal clientele or something else, but the attention to detail just isn't what it used to be. It's especially disappointing considering the prices have gone up. I completely understand inflation and don't mind paying more, but when prices increase, the quality should stay consistent or improve, not decline. I've since taken my business elsewhere. I'm paying more now, but it's worth it for consistent results and not having my eyebrows come out uneven.
