I moved up to the peninsula recently from San Jose and finding a new lash tech was one of my top priorities! I found Sakishima Lashes thanks to yelp and took a peek at her Instagram. Loved her work through photos but saw she wasn't accepting new clients and had a waitlist. Thankfully this was 3 months before my move so I expressed interest and she told me to message her again closer to my move. I guess one of her clients moved away so I got lucky and I'm glad! She's in a little studio tucked away, but it is close to Belmont Caltrain station and was just a 15 minute walk from my apartment. I love that she put lash decorations on her door to make it easier to find :) Cindy is very warm, loving, and friendly. I had just met her and she was already treating me like I was a client of hers for years. I had lashes on already from my previous place and she said she could work with what was there vs needing an entirely new set. She also asked me what look I wanted to achieve and she said it would take a couple more sessions since we are building off what's already there. I am excited to see how it turns out :) Wholeheartedly recommend her, and just make sure you get on her waitlist!! read more

Sakishima Lashes - Wispy volume/cat eye - Eyelash Service Near Me - Belmont , California

Left 3 messages for lash appointment. Never called back. Wtf? Is this an actual business?

Quick take: new client in 2023 Cindy is the best! I am very grateful to have met such a great eyelash professional. She is also the most funny and sweetest person. Our appointment sessions fly by with a lot of conversation and laughter. Her techniques and lash designs are top notch. She also uses good quality lashes and glue. I didn't want to share her with the rest of the world. But I have to give her credit for being the best!!! Thank you for taking care of me. I feel like a million dollars every time I Ieave! ;) read more

My life changed for the better when I discovered lash extensions! I used to curl and wear mascara daily, and extensions save me so much time. And who doesn't love waking up and looking fabulous. Cindy is the best lash lady. Well to be fair she was my first and only...but I seriously can't rave enough about her work. I've been seeing her for 15 months now, and even after I moved to SF proper, I still drive down to San Mateo for my appointments. Cindy is really quick - my initial classic set took about 90 minutes and hybrid/volume fills are just over 60 minutes. Her work is precise, and my lashes stay on so well. Granted, I'm very diligent about not letting my lashes touch water or makeup, but my extensions last easily a month. Booking is easy online or via text, and prices are very fair for the Bay Area. She has her own private studio space, which is great during the pandemic as well - I feel safer with just two of us in a room (mask on, of course). I am addicted to extensions now and look forward to my monthly appointments. It feels almost therapeutic, since you lie there for 1+ hours with your eyes closed. I even nap sometimes. Fresh lashes AND being recharged? Life is good. read more

Cindy is simply the best!! I'm super picky about my lash extensions, and I've been going to Sakishima for over 2 years. It's been great to feel put together with no additional makeup routine, and her lashes always look natural and not overdone. Her application is very gentle, so much so that sometimes I steal naps during my appointments :) The studio is very clean , and she always takes care to wash her hands and keep a mask on during the appointment so I feel COVID safe . I would definitely recommend her for both everyday lashes, and special occasion glam! read more

Sakishima Lashes - She's the bomb!!! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Belmont , California

See all

It's been two years since I first started seeing Cindy and I love going to her! Not only is she super personable, easy-going and down to earth, but her technique is also top notch. I moved to the US from Tokyo so it was difficult for me to find a new lash spot and I tried so many places in SF before finding Cindy and I'm so glad I did! read more

Cindy is amazing! Not only is she super nice but her lash retention is perfect. I tried many places before finding her and my lashes would maybe last a week before looking horrible, but with her I go in for a fill Every 2-3 weeks and my lashes still look good. I definitely recommend her and will continue to go to her. read more

Cindy is hands down the best in the business. I live in Oakland and would commute all the way to San Mateo just to get my lashes done by her! Pros: -My lashes consistently look amazing every time. -She's a highly knowledgeable esthetician and gives great tips on how to care for them, and also makes helpful suggestions on what style of lashes fit me best -she's fast! I've never met a faster lash technician -it's a relaxing and fun process. Cindy is super sweet and friendly, and it's nice to chat with her during my visits. She also doesn't mind that I fall asleep (which I often do, because her office is so cozy) -super competitive and affordable pricing There's no cons, you won't find better! read more

Cindy is the BEST!!! She is professional and a true artist. I will only go to her for my lashes, and they are beautiful! She is friendly and her studio is clean and private. I look forward to my appointments with her, and I get compliments all the time on my eyelash extensions. She also is careful to give each client exactly what they are looking for. read more

Loyal customer for over a year now and I'll say: 1) Technique is superb. I used to get extensions in Japan and truly missed their talent pool. I've been to many many many lash spots in SF and San Mateo trying to find "my person" and I found Cindy! Consistent and meticulous every time. 2) great customer service and flexibility. She has a lot of loyal customers but she's always helpful when you need an appt. Never spicy or annoyed even when I know I'm asking for a lot (and I'm sure others do too). 3) I like her as a person!!! I've met other beauty folks with great technique but arrogant and makes you feel very small. Cindy is always so effortlessly wonderful- professional but warm. The whole experience is simply pleasant and relaxing. Cindy is perfection! read more

I recently moved to the bay area and my roommate recommended Cindy for lashes. She is not only great at what she does, she's also really sweet, funny and kind. Her lashes have solid retention. She does not nitpick about whether you come at two, three or even four weeks as long as retention is OK. She is also very accommodating when it comes to scheduling. I'm so happy I found her! read more

Sakishima Lashes - Hybrid lashes on point for my post-covid birthday celebration! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Belmont , California

Cindy was super friendly and welcoming to me as a new client. She took the time to make sure that I understood what she would be doing with my lashes and help me understand the proper care and maintenance steps after. The area was very clean and sanitary, and afterward, I felt so much more confident, beautiful with my lashes after. And added, plus was that the cost are very reasonable. Would highly recommend Cindy as a lash tech!! read more

I got my lashes done by Cindy in May and have been going ever since. I normally get them done and don't keep up but they look SO good that I want to keep maintaining them. I feel like for the first time, someone has listened to what I said I wanted and given me that look. Naturally, I have short, stubby lashes so I wanted a super curly and wispy look without feeling like snuffleapagus. I just wanted a more natural look if possible. She gave me exactly that! On top of being very talented in her work, she's super sweet. I bring my very active and talkative 5 year old with me every time and she is so understanding and patient. Conversations are also fun. Ladies, if you're looking for a great person to do your lashes, this is your spot. Very reasonably priced and the work quality is excellent. I never have issues with my lashes. Thank you Cindy :) read more

Profesional expert Tech!! She deserves so many stars you could fill the sky. Hope I can still get an appointment after this review but she is flawless I receive compliments daily on my lashes because of her talents so happy I found SakishimaLashes! Feel Good Look Great vibes read more

I had a bad lash experience in my life a few years back at a bad location. So I was VERY skeptic to do my lashes again. I wanted to do them for my Las Vegas trip!! I was recommended here by my friend & I couldn't be HAPPIER! She was such an amazing person, she made me feel so comfortable like we have been friends for years! I would for sure recommend coming here to anyone who wants some nice lashes, she does a beautiful job, and makes sure you like what you see before leaving. My favorite place, I'll be coming here forever now. read more

Cindy is just amazing! She makes sure my lashes are always perfect. My eyelashes last a good 3-4 weeks which is fabulous. If I can't find an appointment I can simply text her and she always try her best to accommodate me. read more

Couldn't see myself getting my lashes done anywhere else ! I've been seeing Cindy for over a year now and I am completely in love with her work. She always makes sure that my lashes are strong enough for my request and is honest with me about the growth and well being of my lashes. This is a huge indication of proficiency when it comes to her business as I have gotten my lashes done at other places before who have totally destroyed the growth of my lashes. Cindy makes sure that I always leave happy, and is very flexible with my crazy work/college schedule. I 100 percent recommend Cindy! She is great! read more

Sakishima Lashes - Eyelash Service Near Me - Belmont , California

The most amazing lash tech you're ever going to find! My extensions look so amazing every time. I've been coming to Cindy for over a year and I haven't had a single trip that wasn't worth it. She's a bit of a drive out for me but she's soooo worth it. The quality of her work is impeccable and unlike other lash techs whom Id get inpatient with my time always seems to fly by when at my appointment. I wasn't someone who necessarily gravitated to getting my lashes done but once I started.. I haven't been able to stop. (For the exception of giving my lashes mini breaks here and there) Ooh she's also done my lash lift , during one of my breaks... absolutely also worth it if you don't want to maintain the lashes. read more

Cindy is the sweetest! She does such a great job! I feel like a new women every time I leave her! She makes me look fab! She does her job in a timely manner and doesn't have you laying there forever! I would HIGHLY recommend! read more

I have been going to Cindy for many years now. She is the best! I've never had any issues and I appreciate her flexibility with scheduling appointments. For anyone who wants to try lashes go to her! I've also done the yumi lift, which is great if you want your natural lashes to stay curly. She has lots of lash styles so you can pick what works for you. Most times, I ask her to do what she thinks looks good on my eyes. I sometimes like to change the style and she's always open to it. Great customer service and lash extensions by Cindy! I have referred her to my friends too! read more

I have been getting my lashes done by Cindy since 2019. She is the best! She is always very accommodating and I LOVE every style she recommends for me. She is also very sweet and kind! Would recommend her to everyone! read more

I am very particular about services and Cindy is my absolute favorite. She's super patient, sweet and thoughtful and she goes above and beyond. She is very responsive and understanding of my preferences. She makes sure I'm happy with my lashes before I leave her studio and she js incredibly accommodating. I was always feel bad making too many requests or being too picky but she always makes sure i don't. Cindy is meticulous, gentle and always makes sure I'm comfortable. Her work is professional and thorough and always answers all of my questions. She will chat with you the whole time or she'll let you enjoy the service with just some calming music in the background, whatever you're in the mood for. I almost always fall asleep during my services. I recommend Cindy to everyone who asks and the ones who have gone to see her always love her. I book my appointments weeks in advance to make sure she's available when I need a touch up. read more

I have been getting my lashes done with Cindy for a few months now and let me say... SHE IS THE BEST! Getting lashes done may take a long time but she's such a pro, it goes by so fast as we have great conversations and you can't feel a thing. She's beautiful inside and out and I can't thank her enough for the time she gives me as I go out into the world and get complements everywhere I go. I recommend Cindy to everyone who needs great natural lashes. read more

I absolutely love Cindy, I have been coming to her for a couple years now and now my daughter has even started coming with me to get her lashes done. She is very gentle, and so easy to talk to. Her space is always clean and well organized. I always leave feeling absolutely beautiful. read more

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Cindy and having her do my eyelashes and she is absolutely delightful, fast, and amazing. I've gotten my lashes done at other places but i never loved the end result the way I did with Cindy...so much so Ive already booked by next appointment and am willing to drive the less then convenient drive to her because she's simply that good! I genuinely suck at taking care of my lashes yet they lasted quite some time. Please have no hesitation, her work is impeccable! read more

Sakishima Lashes - Eyelash Service Near Me - Belmont , California

I've been wearing lash extensions for a year now and have never been fully satisfied with the outcome...until I found Cindy! Not only she's the nicest person you would want to meet, she's very knowledgeable in lash extensions. She has endless lash options available which was what I needed so I can choose exactly what I want. I'm beyond satisfied with the outcome of my lashes and I only need to get a refill every three weeks. Oh and I drive from San Francisco to San Mateo with no complaints Thanks Cindy! read more

I love Cindy! She's so sweet, calm, proficient and careful on how she does your lashes. I first came to her needing a fill from another lash tech. and usually most people won't do a fill from another lash tech., however Cindy took me in and matched the lashes as best as she could I originally had a hybrid of 15mm) After that set, she recommend another length that would match me better than my pervious one, and I love her honesty and recommendation, because she ended up being right! I preferred the length she picked for me. The application is amazing that I only need to go in every 4 weeks for a fill instead of every 2-3weeks. She's the best! I love going to her and I wouldn't pick anyone else! read more

It's been a week since I got my lashes done by Cindy and they still look great. It's no surprise that your lashes are going to look amazing on day one, but the true skill and expertise shows once a few days pass. Before Cindy, after a few days, the lashes would start falling off and twisting and turning in weird directions. I can really tell now that Cindy's application and products that she uses are far superior because the lashes for the most part have stayed pretty much intact, which is really surprising! Cindy is so sweet and you can really tell how genuinely she cares about her clients and her business. I am rooting for her great success. I thank Cindy for my beautiful lashes and I can't wait for my next touch up! read more

I'm so happy I found this place! It's nice and clean, and Cindy is beyond amazing!!! 100% recommended. Thank you so much Cindy I'm more than satisfied with my lashes read more

Cindy is amazing! I love how she did my wispy hybrid set and they feel so light. I don't feel like my eyelids are weighed down like how some lashes can feel. She does a consult prior to starting the session to make sure you are both on the same page as to what you'd like for your lashes. She's also a joy to work with. She's very kind and easy to talk to but also very relaxing! Can't wait for my next appointment with Cindy :) read more

Cindy always ceases to amaze me. Her work is always on point and knows exactly what I need without me even telling her.
