I had a great lash extension experience at Dolly Effect! I was greeted when I walked in and given…read morean 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!

Anna works in a room within Top Hair Nails. Parking is easy and ample. Service is wonderful. I suggest bringing AirPods/headphones so you can listen to music while she works.

It was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately, I left disappointed. I had an…read moreappointment scheduled but was later asked if I could come at a different time. I was happy to be flexible and later arrived 10 minutes early. When I walked in I noticed there wasn't a designated waiting area for clients. Then later I was told that my appointment had been forgotten and that a walk-in had been taken instead. I was understandably a little disappointed, but I remained understanding. A little after another nail tech. came from the back and was able to help me. Before we began, I communicated twice that I was there for a builder gel fill. I've had this service done many times, so I'm familiar with the filing process. However, much more product was filed away than I've ever experienced during a fill, which seemed to defeat the purpose of getting one. The filing also felt quite aggressive. While I understand the need to work efficiently, I experienced a burning sensation several times, and the technician even applied pressure to the top of my nail to help relieve the discomfort. After this happened repeatedly, I no longer felt comfortable continuing with the UV curing process because I was concerned about the sensitivity of my nails. I explained that I had changed my mind and would instead like to receive only cuticle care and nail shaping. The technician asked a coworker to assist with translation, but unfortunately, the interaction didn't feel welcoming. I calmly explained again that I wasn't comfortable placing my nails under the UV light and wanted to give them time to recover. The coworker appeared visibly frustrated and responded by pressing firmly on my nail and rubbed her finger against it to demonstrate that the builder gel was still present. The original technician completed the cuticle care and nail shaping, and I paid for her time and service. I appreciate that she finished the appointment, but overall, the experience did not leave me wanting to return. I also think the salon could benefit from a designated waiting area for clients and some soft background music to create a more welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

I've been getting my lashes done here for a while now and I recommend this place to all my friends…read more They now have UV lash glue, and the difference is SO noticeable -- appointments are faster and my eyes feel way less irritated compared to regular lash glue. 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!

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.

Service was below average. The most disappointing part was that I was shown the pedicure kit and…read moretold they had a similar kit for the manicure service as well, which made me believe fresh, separate products would be used for both services. Later, I noticed the therapist passing leftover pedicure cream to the manicure therapist. When I asked why she wasn't using the new manicure pack, she admitted she was using the small pedicure kit for both services. When I questioned why the separate manicure box wasn't being used, she simply said, "Because you didn't ask for it." I was honestly shocked, as this has never happened to me before. Every other salon I've visited has always used separate kits/products for manicure and pedicure services. Very disappointing experience.

My 14-year old daughter went to this salon for a gel polish manicure, and got completely ripped…read moreoff. I only discovered it when I saw a charge hit my card for $118. For ONE MANICURE! For context, we normally go together to another salon and we pay $35 to get her nails done (remove the old gel, put on new gel). Maybe another $10 if she chose chrome or a design. So when she asked to go to downtown Los Altos with her friends to get a manicure, I said no problem. However, when I saw the charge for over $100, I texted to ask if she had also gotten a pedicure, or had paid for her friend's manicure. She responded that no, she had just gotten a single manicure, but they charged her $15 to remove the old gel + $35 for new gel + $5 PER NAIL! because she had gotten a very simple design. (Design shown in the photo - they look terrible! Two nails just have wobbly circles!) So basically an extra FIFTY dollars for that poorly executed design! Also, no one else charges extra to remove the old gel. Of course, I had taught her to tip well in the service industry, so that's how we landed at $118. So the nail tech benefitted even more from scamming a child. Overall, I do not recommend giving them any business given their low ethical standards.

My nails look so clean, precise, and polished. Better than they've ever looked! Amanda explained every step and kept checking in to make sure I liked the shape and color, which I really appreciated. Especially since it was my first time getting russian manicure. The only thing is timing! This took about 3 hours vs my usual 1.5 for builder gel. I don't mind, but I wish I had a heads up, so definitely come prepared and plan your day around it. 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!

I really wish I didn't have to write this review :/ I have…read morebeen a loyal customer for years and have always looked forward to my apportionments Unfortunately I received bad service today. I initially came in with short/ medium nails with two lifted gel and one broken finger. The broken finger had happened the night before and I was unable to adjust my appointment that I had made to let the technician know of the issue. When I arrived, I was asked if I wanted to keep the nail that short but I asked for a single nail extension and was told "I don't do that.". After shortening the rest of my nails so that the initial one did not look too odd in comparison I noticed the issues. All of the nails are different shapes, and sizes. Some are very short while others are far above the nail bed. They range from oval to square to rounded coffin. The gel overlay is inconsistent. There are some nails that are flimsy and bend to the touch while others are rock solid, and some have no gel in the corners that can cause easy lifting. When filing down the original gel, the drill bit burnt my nail. I am used to a little twinge, but this hurt so much, I had to pull my hand away. I was very sad and frustrated with the service I received today. It has made me weary.
