So the last time I had lashes was about a decade ago when it was first getting popular and I had such a bad experience that I never reconsidered. I recently saw someone with the most beautiful lashes but I wasn't even sure if they were natural or not--it's that good. When she told me they were extensions, I knew I had to give it another go. Vicki's place is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. I almost fell asleep because it was so relaxing and I'm someone who can literally only sleep in my own bed (haha). She's an absolute joy to chat with and most importantly, she is AMAZING at lashes. I have these sad, short, and stick straight lashes and she made them look full and natural. I am SO happy with them! If you're on the fence, give Vicki a chance--worth every penny! read more

I was lucky to be referred to Jasmine for a full set of volume lashes. From the moment I booked an appointment to the appointment itself, the whole process was very smooth. Jasmine is very easy going and enjoys what she does. She is quick, but very thorough with her work. She even followed up to ensure that I was happy with my lashes. Her work space is very relaxing, comfortable, and clean. She even has great taste in music! I've gone through a few lash technicians in the Bay Area and would highly recommend Jasmine for that nice set of lashes that every woman needs. read more

Vicki is so nice and personable. The space is incredible clean and she does a great job. She is so meticulous about her work. It takes 1.5 hours for a full set if you sit tight and let Vicki do what she needs. The time obviously increases if you go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Be respectful of her time please as she is respectful of ours. The facility is incredibly clean. Cleaner than most salons! read more

I was about to go to a lash studio that charges 175+ for a full set of lashes. I realized that $175 for something that could fall off in three weeks is ridiculously expensive. So I decided to do a little more research and found Black iLash by Vicki. She had similar reviews as other 4-5 stars studios. The only difference was the price and place. Vicki charged me $84 for a full set, FIRST STAR, and her shop is in her apartment. 5 star reviews, very fair prices, and a comfortable studio? HELL YEAH! Called her up and made an appointment at 4 for the next day. Awesome accent on the phone which calmed my whole day, SECOND STAR. Next day rolls by and realized that I couldn't make it in time. Called her last minute and asked if I can push the appointment to 4:30 and she was totally fine with that, THIRD STAR. Vicki picked me up from the entrance and brought me to her apartment asking if I was ok with dogs. I LOVE DOGS. I couldn't wait to to barge into her apartment to see her dog. For all you dog haters, Vicki's husband usually takes the dog away when she has clients. So everyone including dog haters are welcome ;). Her dog's name is Yumi, she's a Pekingese, and she'd like to be fed before she likes you. Oh and she snorts. All the previous reviews were exactly what they described Vicki as: sweet, perfectionist, accommodating, easy to talk to, informative, and friendly. Vicki is so comforting and easy to talk to that I felt like she was my best friend/ sister for that night, FOURTH STAR. I'm very picky so she really took the time to perfect my weird left eyelashes to my right lashes. At the end my lashes were perfected and I left with confidence, FIFTH STAR! Can't wait to go back and try some new styles. Vicki takes cash and cards AND she takes tips on card too. Now THAT'S a business lady right there. There's plenty of meter parking as long as there's no events near city hall. Check out my pictures I posted up. I forgot the before pictures, but who cares! As long as these extensions are great I don't need to post a before. Thanks Vicki for these awesome lashes! read more

Vicki is so great! Her space is very comfortable and she is very flexible with her time. Highly recommend

Vicki did any amazing job. She was so welcoming and kind and made me feel very taken care of (it was my first time getting extensions). She talked me through what the different types of lashes meant and helped me settle on something pretty and natural. During the process, she talked me through what she was doing and answered all my nervous questions. When she finished they looked beautiful and held strong for two weeks. I was incredibly impressed with her services and quality of work. I would HIGHLY recommend Vicki, it was overall a wonderful experience. read more

I booked a reservation through texting the number listed on Yelp. I received a response with an hour and communicated easily through text. Jasmine answered all my questions (I had a lot) and set expectations for the eyelash extension visit. I was able to book an appointment the day before which was faster than I was expecting! Jasmine did the Classic set on me almost three weeks ago, and it still looks amazing! I asked for a natural look since it was my first time getting extensions. I'm definitely going back for refills and recommend this place. read more

Vicki is an eyelash genius! I was nervous to get my lashes done for the first time, but Vicki made me feel extremely comfortable and she gave me a very natural look which is perfect for a first eyelash experience. She works out of her apartment, which is extremely comfortable and cozy. She plays relaxing music, and it's so easy just to fall asleep. If you don't fall asleep, she is such an awesome person to chat with! She gave me some recommendations for my vacation to Australia and we talked about food and life and she is so delightful. I have since come back many times for refills, and every time I am super impressed. My eyelashes look natural but very long and full, and they feel like my natural lashes too. They also last a solid 3 weeks with minimum fallout with proper care. I can't wait to go back when she reopens! read more

I had a great experience with Vicki. This was my first time getting eyelash extensions. I did it for my upcoming wedding, since I was afraid that if I wore mascara I would become a big mess. My first session took about 2 hours. Vicki had a very comfortable and clean setup in her apartment. At the outset she asked me questions to get a feel for how dramatic I wanted my eyelashes to be, and she customized her approach based on my answers. I decided on a natural look, and she explained that she'd add regular lash extensions for the most part with a few double lashes here and there for a pop.  I found it very relaxing to lie there while she applied the lashes to a background of soft music. As we chatted, I found Vicki to be very warm, interesting and pleasant. She kindly offered to see me again a few days later, right before my wedding day, to replace any lashes that might have fallen out after my wedding test makeover, and squeezed me in at 8 p.m. which I really appreciated for about 40 min. Vicki did an amazing job. It was wonderful to have such beautiful, long eyelashes. I got lots of compliments and definitely looked way better than mascara!  And best of all, I didn't have to wear mascara on my wedding day and my photos came out so well. In addition, it was lovely to be able to wake up in the morning for a couple of weeks and not put on any makeup but still feel like I looked great. I am really glad that I got it done, especially by Vicki, for the pleasant experience and also the affordable price. That said, I don't think I will get eyelash extensions for everyday use because they are a little too high maintenance for me. For the first 24 hours at least you are not supposed to expose your lashes to steam or water, and you need to treat them carefully throughout, like preferably not even sleep on your side. You also have to be very careful when removing eye shadow and liner. I kept forgetting about the eyelash extensions and rubbing my eyes, and I lost several that way. But I DEFINITELY recommend lash extensions for someone who wants to look amazing for a special occasion like a wedding.  Go to Vicki; she is the best. read more

There's really not much to say that hasn't already been said! Super sweet, calming Australian woman whose lash studio is in her apartment. Very, very clean and comfortable. Easy to find location. I fell asleep. Zero discomfort. I have seen other places where you walk out looking like you have pink eye, and that prevented me from getting lashes for years. I had zero redness. Thorough pre and post care instructions. I asked for very natural since I don't wear makeup and they are absolutely perfect. I want to go back just to hang out with Vicki! read more

I went with my friend, she got her lashes done and pretty much accompanied her , she was happy with the result and the ladies were very nice there so I wanted to give them a thumbs up. Since I have a lot of time during quarantine I thought I should write some nice reviews for business I met lol. read more

Vicki is amazing, both as a person and a technician! She is absolutely hospitable, takes her time with you, you hardly feel her hands, and she is so gentle. Definitely one of the greatest customer experiences I've had in years. Just got a fill with her yesterday. Full sets range around $150 depending on what you are looking for, fills range around $65 depending on how well you took care of your lashes! Ladies ask me all the time at malls and salons who had them done for me. I recommend Vicki :) read more

It's true what they say about Vicki-- she's simply the best! She clearly loves what she does and is super personable. She runs her business straight out of her place and I love the comfy ambiance. If you're lucky, her super adorbs furbaby, Yumi, stays around to keep you company! I've had my lashes done a few times before, but Vicki's work is definitely favorite. My full set lasted for about 3 weeks and they looked so good! Vicki is gentle and I never have any issues with my eyes stinging or burning afterwards. Trust me when I say, that does happen with some inexperienced lash techs. Making an appointment with Vicki is also a breeze. You can text her and she gets right back to you. She's extremely flexible with scheduling and will try to fit you in if possible. Last but not least, you can't beat her prices. I've paid almost double her price at higher end lash salons before and Vicki's work is not only comparable, but probably superior. Great work, great prices and friendly--it doesn't get better than that! I highly recommend checking Vicki out for all your eyelash extension needs! read more

If you're looking for extensions, call Vicki. I've been doing them in LA, and assumed it was normal procedure to feel pain from the glue. But it's not! When Vicki worked on my lashes, I didn't even feel it at all. She also asks what length, curl, width you want. She also offered to do a free touch up if my lashes fall within the week. It is a little more expensive than what I'm used to in LA, but I think it's worth it when I can walk out without red eyes and tears. If you want courteous service and beautiful lashes, this is the service you want! I'll be back. read more

I cannot believe how detailed, generous, thorough and professional Vicki was. She spent an insane amount of time to have my lashes perfect. She was EXTREMELY affordable compared to other eyelash salons in San Francisco. She works out of her apartment, which is incredibly clean! She was so informative and responsive over text msg. I realized that the previous eyelash job that I had (though very nice), was not nearly as high quality as Vicki's. She used amazing lashes, that don't even feel like fake lashes to me. They are really soft and the previous job, you could see the glue! Everyone has complimented my lashes, and that they look much more natural. I love them and most of all Vicki is very down to earth. She even gives a little eyelash brush and a card with care instructions! I am so glad I found her, will be going back for sure! read more

First and foremost, she is such a sweetheart. Everyone has said that and I definitely agree. She is super easy to talk to and incredibly friendly and personable. I enjoyed the experience of getting my lashes done by her. Not to mention she had great breath, which is so important when someone is a few inches from your face. I had my lashes done in July of 2014. They looked great when I left her. Unfortunately, my lashes didn't stay super long. They lasted about four days. And took lots of my own lashes. I followed the instructions to a tee. And I've had lashes before and after. It just may be my lashes didn't respond well to the glue or the lashes were too heavy for me. I'm sure if I had told her she would have tried to fix them. She was really kind and had previously offered to do a touch up. That was before mine fell out. She is so nice I hate to even write this. I'd recommend her, as she has great comments and again my experience was really nice. Give Vickie a try. read more

WOW! Vicki did an incredible job on my lashes last night. She's incredibly good at what she does. It's so damn hard to find lash artists that know exactly how to make them look natural and not fake. read more

I've tried a few establishments in the city, and Vicki is a perfect combination of quality and price. I've gone to her for a few years now, and she's perfected her craft but kept her prices. My only complaint is that she's getting so popular now that I no longer can get in spontaneous, last minute appointments. read more

You can really tell when someone loves what they're doing and that is Vicky! I love coming to this place, nice cozy room, relaxing music, and just overall great ambiance. Vicky is very professional and friendly. It feels like I'm chatting with an old friend. She is utterly meticulous, takes her time and most importantly you're comfort is her priority. Her fees are very decent yet her service is impeccable. I have been a client for 2 years and for years to come. Vicky is one of my best kept beauty secret but she's blog plug worthy. read more

I love Jasmine and her work is flawless. I had lashes done for the first time for my brothers wedding in Savannah, Georgia... I was nervous. I am usually a strict benefit mascara girl but I wanted to achieve a natural look for the professional photographs at the wedding. I had the lashes done a week prior and they are still perfect. She warned me that I might get hooked, To be honest she was right. I love waking up and not putting on any makeup and still feeling like I look feminine and polished. Worth it! read more

I really enjoyed getting my lashes done by Vicki! I've been going to her for the last couple months and I've never consider going to anyone else, she's that good. Before we started, she really took the time to ask me about my lifestyle to make sure the type of lashes she uses would be easy for me to maintain... and I'm glad she did! They looked amazing off the bet, and they still looked great after 3 weeks, which is very impressive given how clumsy I am with them. Throughout our session she made sure I was comfortable, so much so that as much as I like chatting with her, I fall asleep almost every time during our sessions :P She's really patient and takes her time to make sure every lash is in place, and have me check them too to make sure I'm happy with the results. Honestly, if you're looking for a new place to get your lashes done, I couldn't recommend Vicki more. read more

Vicky is great! My lashes look amazing and she really took care of me. Great quality and b

A friend of mine recommended getting my lashes done by Vicki and she was absolutely amazing! I was a bit nervous for my first time, but she talked me through it and was extremely friendly and gentle. The full set for $70 was totally worth it and they last for some time. Definitely coming back! read more

Awesome lashes, I was a bit nervous since I've never had extensions done, but Vicki was so nice to talk me though the process and she spent time picking out the right extensions to use for my eye shape. She is super friendly and nice. I am definitely coming back for a touch-up read more

Vicki did an amazing job with my eyelash extensions and listened to what I exactly wanted. She is sweet and courteous, and she does not stop until she is satisfied. I wish I didn't live in vegas so that I could visit her often!! read more

This was my first time getting eye lash extensions. Vicki was really friendly. Since I was getting it done for my graduation she did one eye and let me look at it first in case I wanted it shorter, longer, thicker, etc. I really liked that she really cared. She was really gentle and made sure nothing poked my eyes or anything. My family was really impressed with it. It was definitely worth every penny! read more

In addition to doing an amazing job on my lashes, Vicki has the cutest personality and made me feel so at ease. I showed her a couple pics of what I liked (and an example of what I didn't like) and she did a perfect job! I got compliments all weekend about my lashes! read more

Amazing. Vicki was gentle, accommodating, and precise. She took great care in getting some crazy cluster lashes off that I had regrettably had put on at a salon. I didn't think those suckers would come off without ripping out my own, but she managed! She did a great job with the eyelash extensions thereafter. Great girl, too. Sweet as pie. Her place was very comfortable. read more

I love getting my eyelashes extension done by Vicki'!! she is the greatest person i can think of if you ever want your lashes done! My lashes are always perfect. They always look natural and beautiful. Vicki has always been my person to go too & I live in LA, so every time I want lashes done I would fly to see her in SF. She is meticulous, very thorough. & also very gentle, never any tears or burning eyes because she knows what she is doing!! Do yourself a favor, and go see her for some gorgeous lashes! read more

Its with great hesitance I review this lash angel, because I want to keep her to myself ;)!!! But the truth is I can not reccommend Vicki enough. I look forward to every appointment because: *First and foremost, the results of her work are spectacular! I look fantastic and her eyelash sets are able to walk the line of natural but too good to be true. *Vicki is such a delightful, caring, fun person! *Her space is really nice and relaxing and a visit to Vicki is the ultimate beauty nap :p! You can feel really confident that you're going to get an amazing set of eyelash extensions, enjoy your time doing so, and that your time spent getting this treatment will be so relaxing and nice! All that and her pricing is actually fair! She's the gold standard. read more

Personalized service and so pleasant and friendly. Plus my lashes far outlasted my expectations! I got so many compliments, I'm definitely going back! read more

Vicki is so great. I just got my eyelashes done today. Vicki is so talkative, patient, and nice...... And the most important part is that her price does being cheaper than other places A LOT. I think it's around $50 to $80 less than other places. Also, Vicki didn't ask for tips, the place I went to before forced me to pay 30% tips. If you want to save money as well as make yourself look pretty, you should try this place. read more

I reached out to Vicki urgently as I was hoping to get extensions that week. I knew it was a long shot but I followed her instructions to make an appointment and I'm glad they were thoughtful and through. She responded to my request via text later that date and unfortunately couldn't see me due to my tight time frame but I appreciated her prompt response and kind demeanor. I can totally see why she's got so many 5 star reviews on Yelp. read more

I met Vicki a couple years ago when she first started her business. I was really impressed with how meticulous she was. Her work is great! She makes sure to evolve her work to your needs and that's something that I really appreciate. I don't always get my lashes done but as an Asian who wasn't born with a mascara ready curtain on my eyes, I do enjoy extensions for when life is just too busy for primping. Vicki really makes her clients feel comfortable and her work is centered around her clients being happy with the results than anything else. She does a very thorough job at keeping up on lash trends and what's the best for her clients. She invests in things that matter- like not using cheap tape to hold down the lower lashes and making sure the lashes won't hurt your natural ones. Proper eye care and safety is above all else to her and she has no problem shooing me away when she feels my lashes need a break. The honesty and care is refreshing and she definitely has a long time client in me. read more

Absolutely love Vicki!!!!!! She's the first and most likely the only person I will ever go to for eyelash extensions. She's extremely easy going and comforting. Her pricing is hard to even compete with and is super affordable. I mean half the regular prices at actual salons and studios! She works out of her apartment in SF and it is incredibly clean and still very much professional. (She even has a dog that Im in love with, but if needed she will put her in a different room ) During the process, it usually takes about two hours and for me personally I was very comfortable with talking to her about my life as time passes by. I was also comfortable enough to sleep during the process. With her work especially she'll notice your eye shape and will work out whatever kind of extension is best for your particular eyes. I think it's great that I could also experiment what types of lashes I wanted. With Vicki I'm already a regular customer and I can't wait for my next set!! She's fantastic! read more

Had my first lash extensions done by Vicki! She was so awesome and accomodating. Since this was my first time getting the extensions, Vicki was very informative and answered all my questions and concerns. She's very friendly and detailed. She made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving and even followed up with me to see how I was liking it. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely come back. As a matter of fact, I have a another appt. this weekend for a refill. read more
