Station in Mapo, Seoul. The writer had the basic hydrating lash lift at Lashkimi, which uses a keratin solution instead of a standard perm solution and eye patches instead of tape. The lift felt gentle around the eyes, and the curl set well in 30 minutes. Verdict: Lashkimi satisfied a lash-lift nomad enough to settle on it as a regular Hongdae lash salon. ## Good to know - **Location**: LG Palace Building, B1 Room 112, Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul; 1-minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik Univ.

Lashkimi is a 1-minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station, in the LG Palace Building, B1 Room 112, Yanghwa-ro 156, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

It rained the day I visited, and being right by the exit made me so happy 😆 ![Entrance down to Lashkimi on the B1 level of the LG Palace Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch-02-126c2-966.webp) You go in through here, and since it's on the basement level, I recommend taking the stairs. ![Front door of Lashkimi on the basement level](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch-03-7jkyh-966.webp) And here's cute little Lashkimi! ## Lashkimi hours, booking and parking Lashkimi is open every day from 11:00 to 22:00 and works by 1:1 appointment.

It isn't big, but the space is laid out efficiently, so I could be treated comfortably. ## Is a Lashkimi lash lift safe for your lashes? Even for the most basic hydrating lash lift, Lashkimi uses a keratin solution rather than a regular perm solution, so you can get it done without damaging your lashes. Not needing to add a separate lash clinic treatment was a big plus for me. I get lash lifts fairly often, so I usually add a clinic treatment too, worried about damage. But paying for the clinic every time gets expensive. That's how I found Lashkimi near Hongik Univ. ### A lash lift with eye patches instead of tape Another plus at Lashkimi is that they use eye patches during the lash lift❣️ That's the thing I care about most. I'm at the age where I worry about wrinkles around my eyes, so the taping step bothers me every time I get a lash lift, once every month or two🥲 I'm a lash lift nomad, and so far only 2 places have used eye patches. Lashkimi is one of them! I went without knowing, and they used eye patches, so I was personally so happy😘 ## The Lashkimi hydrating lash lift: process and result The hydrating lash lift at Lashkimi started with a consultation and was done in about 30 minutes. They worked out the perm style I wanted, then recommended one to suit my eyes. I was surprised that they set not just the curl but even the direction of the lashes in detail🫢 Truly a specialist lash lift shop near Hongik Univ. Station! ![Lashes after a keratin hydrating lash lift at Lashkimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch-08-lgmlf-1200.webp) ![Lash lift result completed in 30 minutes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch/hongdae-keratin-lash-perm-eye-patch-09-1g7kt-966.webp) A satisfying lash lift done in 30 minutes! The lift looks great, right?👀 Before I left, they explained how the lash lift will relax over time, recommended a lash serum, and went through the aftercare precautions in detail! They even texted me the precautions on my way home, so thoughtful👍🏻 ## Lashkimi overall verdict - A place where you can care for your lashes with less worry about damage, thanks to the basic hydrating lash lift with keratin solution - Happy that the eye patches meant little discomfort during the treatment and minimal irritation around the eyes - Right by Exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station, so access is really good and it's easy to visit - 1:1 appointments make it feel like careful, tailored care from consultation to treatment - Curl direction and design were set in detail, the lift looked natural, and I was very satisfied I totally recommend the Lashkimi lash lift at Hongik Univ.
