Korean Lash Lift

A Korean Lash Lift is a customised lash-lifting technique designed to create visible lift from the base of your natural lashes while allowing the shape, direction and curl to be tailored to your eyes.

Rather than simply applying the same curl to every client, the treatment can be adapted according to your natural lash length, growth direction, eye shape and preferred finish. At Envy Lashes London, the aim is a clean, beautifully lifted result that enhances your natural lashes without extensions.

The biggest difference is usually the technique and level of customisation. The active ingredient used to lift lashes is also different to that of a traditional Lash Lift. Korean Lash Lifts use a cysteamine-based solution which is a slower, gentler process than the traditional TGA methods which works faster and more aggressively. This results in a 'healthier' way of lifting the lashes and a softer grow-out process.

Korean-style lifting places particular emphasis on root lift, lash direction, shield selection and individual control of the natural lashes. Traditional lifts can also create excellent results, but Korean techniques are often chosen by clients who want a more tailored, lifted finish from root to tip. Not every “Korean Lash Lift” uses the same products or protocol, so technician skill and correct processing are more important than the name alone.

Most clients can expect their Korean Lash Lift to remain visible for approximately 6–8 weeks, although this varies with your natural lash-growth cycle, lash condition and aftercare. The treatment gradually grows out rather than suddenly disappearing or criss-crossing.

It can be an excellent option for straight or downward-growing lashes because the treatment can create visible lift from the base and make more of your natural lash length visible from the front.

Recent client discussions frequently mention choosing Korean lifts specifically because their natural lashes are very straight or difficult to curl or have had problems with traditional Lash Lifts in the past.

A correctly performed lash lift should be carried out according to the condition and strength of your natural lashes, with appropriate processing times and products. Any chemical lash-lifting treatment can cause dryness or damage if it is overprocessed or performed incorrectly, so we would avoid claims such as “damage-free”. At Envy, your natural lashes are assessed before treatment and the process is tailored accordingly.

Yes. A tint can be added to darken the natural lashes and make the result more defined. This is particularly popular with clients who want a low-maintenance, mascara-free look.

Yes. Once your initial aftercare period has passed you can wear mascara if you want additional definition.

Many clients find they need much less mascara after a lash lift because their natural lashes are already lifted and more visible.

Follow the aftercare given by your technician and the requirements of the specific lifting system used. Common advice includes being gentle with the lashes immediately after treatment, avoiding rubbing and keeping them conditioned.Some systems recommend avoiding water, steam or heavy eye products during the first 24 hours, so we will give you the exact instructions appropriate to your treatment.

Allow approximately 6 weeks, depending on your natural lashes, the technique used and whether tint is included.

Because Korean-style lifting is highly customised, appointment time can vary slightly between clients.

Most clients with healthy natural lashes can be considered, but suitability depends on your lash condition, previous treatments, sensitivities and the result you want. If your lashes are very weak, brittle or have recently been chemically processed, we may recommend waiting before carrying out another lift.

A consultation allows us to recommend whether Korean Lash Lift, a traditional Lash Lift or lash extensions would be the better option for you.
