The Lash Assignment — Local services in Alameda

You can stop looking for the perfect lash extensions — you’ve found it with Nicky at The Lash Assignment! I had been getting my lashes done at a different salon in Alameda until the business closed without notice. I missed having regular lash extensions (so much easier to roll out of bed in the morning without having to put on makeup), so I started searching for someone new. Nicky’s reviews, location, and pricing seemed like a good fit and I messaged her on Instagram. She responded really quickly but was fully booked. I waited a couple more weeks and then gave her a try. I only wish I’d found Nicky sooner!

The Lash Assignment’s location is great — close to downtown Alameda but in a location where I can always find free street parking right in front. To access the salon, you walk down the front walkway between the hedges and then turn right just before the staircase to the building (see photos). The Lash Assignment is clean and well decorated. Nicky makes each lash session feel like a spa experience, which I’ve never experienced anywhere else.

When you first lay down, Nicky does a pre-treat process that includes a lash bath to prep your lashes for proper application. It’s relaxing and feels like a mini facial for your lashes. She takes her time applying the lash extensions and is careful to make sure she does a perfect job every time. Afterward, Nicky gives you an eye massage using water-based moisturizer with hyaluronic acid to rehydrate the eyes. It’s amazing and I actually look forward to my lash fills because it’s such a comfortable and relaxing experience. I’ve never had this anywhere else and I’ve tried a lot of lash salons over the years.

At my first appointment, Nicky listened to my wishes and helped me find the right fit for lashes. I had an issue with some of them after my first session and she was super responsive and insisted that I come back in so she could address the issue. What amazing service. Nicky is the ultimate professional and I have a lot of trust in her and her skills.

I'm new to eyelash extensions, and I had a great experience with Nicky. She made me feel comfortable and at ease by explaining the process. It made me feel confident that I would be in good hands in terms of safety and success. She loves what she does, and that's a very good thing for customers. That means you can trust her that you will look fantastic and not sloppy when you leave. :-)

Her studio/clinic is very clean, tidy, and welcoming. I like the music that she plays, but I would request to her later if she could play meditation/yoga/massage ambience music for me when I come back. :-).

I highly, highly recommend you try any of her services: Eyelash extensions, facial, waxing, etc. Go call or text her, she's very easy to reach. She'll get back to you right away... if she's...
