Volume-curl lash perm clear of the eyelid fold, Dongnae, Busan: Imin

What is Imin Beauty Dongnae Main Branch like?

Imin Beauty Dongnae Main Branch (아이민뷰티 동래본점) is a lash perm and eyebrow salon in the Hanjin Town arcade in Dongnae, Busan. The owner does every treatment herself: she's a beauty pro with 7 years of experience, formerly a patient consultation manager at a Gangnam plastic surgery clinic and a makeup artist. It had been almost half a year since my last lash perm 🥸 I heard there was a go-to lash perm spot in Dongnae, so I visited Imin Beauty.

Location, hours, reservations and parking

Imin Beauty Dongnae Main Branch is at 25 Chungnyeol-daero 200beon-gil, Dongnae-gu, Busan, on the ground floor of the Hanjin Town arcade, next to the convenience store (inside the apartment complex). It's open daily 11:00–22:00. Reservations and parking are available.

Note that it's 100% reservation-only! And since it's open late, it's great for office workers to drop by after work!

It's in an apartment-complex arcade, so parking is possible too, haha. Drivers don't need to worry about parking!

Lashes that get caught in the eyelid fold: how was the consultation?

At Imin Beauty you first change into slippers and fill out a chart. I wanted my lashes lifted high, but my biggest worry was that they always get caught in my eyelid fold and stay bent 😢 🥹

The owner looked at my lashes and said the length is plenty! She also said that because my eye shape could look sharp with a very tight lift, she'd give me volume and make sure they don't get caught.

Inside Imin Beauty and the treatment menu

Since she does makeup too, there's a pink vanity on one side. Right above it were all kinds of licenses, appointment certificates, awards and so on 🍅

Today I'm getting the moisture nutrient perm, ₩40,000 🥸 And she's so thoughtful: each perm is explained right next to it!

Besides perms, she also does makeup and eyebrow consulting! On Instagram I saw people who'd had eyebrow treatments, and they looked very satisfied.

It's a very pink pink space 🎀 Easy-pay options like Dongbaekjeon (Busan's local currency card) work, and lash serum is sold too. The restroom is right next door, but note that you have to take the key with you!

Before the lash perm

My before photo, taken the morning of the visit. Just my opinion, but my lashes have length but no spring, and feel a bit... thin? So even with a curler they seem to droop 🥹 I get lash perms regularly, but they keep getting caught, so frustrating 〰️

First, she told me to speak up if anything felt uncomfortable during the treatment! We started in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Moisture nutrient perm result: no more catching in the fold?

The result of the Imin Beauty moisture nutrient perm: even with my eyes wide open, my lashes don't get caught in the eyelid fold!!!! The treatment is done on a single-person bed, and she's really, really careful and thorough 〰️

After finishing, I took photos right in front of the apartment building. She said some nutrition and black tinting were included, so my eye shape looks even more defined 🩷 Waaah, I just kept wanting to take more photos.

Most of all, I loved how natural the lift looked 🫶🏻 Thanks to the thorough consultation beforehand, she carefully designed and did the curl and line to suit my eye structure, and I'm so grateful. I'm so happy 🎀

How the lash perm held up after two days

Two days later, the lash perm from Imin Beauty still has plenty of presence 👯🏻‍♀️ I thought lashes might get caught right away, or the volume might turn uneven... or tangle! But none of that happened.

Truly, Imin Beauty is the go-to lash perm spot in Dongnae! Highly, highly recommend 🩷 (I'm so jealous of anyone who lives nearby...)
