Dongtan lash salon: U-curl perm for inline double eyelids, Moodmoa

Attentive 1:1 consultation, careful work, and a curl designed for your own eye shape! Today I'm sharing my visit to Moodmoa Lash & Brow (무드모아 래쉬&브로우), a lash perm salon in Bansong-dong near Dongtan Central Park.

I get lash perms often and have tried quite a few places, but Moodmoa stuck with me because the owner really studies your eye shape and lash condition before recommending a curl. This time I was steered toward a U-curl instead of the super-tight lift I always ask for! I'll go through what the difference was. ✨

Where is Moodmoa Lash & Brow, and where do you park?

Moodmoa Lash & Brow is a lash perm specialist at 8 Dongtanbansong-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, near Dongtan Central Park. Head to the area behind Dongtan Ichigo. The owner gave detailed directions when I booked, so even first-timers shouldn't have trouble finding it.

If you drive, check the parking in front of the shop; the public lot at nearby Gaenari Park is also an option! I used the Gaenari Park street parking. It's close to Central Park, so I could finish my treatment within the free-parking window of the lots around Central Park. Please check on site for parking time limits and whether it's free.

Hours are Mon–Fri 10:00–20:00, closed on weekends.

Moodmoa's atmosphere and the 4-step protein clinic

The shop is small but cozy. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the warm, lovely interior. You can feel the owner's taste in every little decorative piece around the room.

Moodmoa does lash perms with a 4-step protein clinic care system. When you get lash perms often, you worry about the ends getting dry or breaking, right? Moodmoa doesn't just set the curl: it runs a 4-step clinic, from pH balance care to a moisture balm, keratin protein supply and nourishing coating for the lash tips, looking after the lashes' moisture and elasticity. I liked that a lot!

Inline double eyelids: U-curl instead of a tight curl?

The owner looked at my inline double eyelids and recommended a U-curl, saying it would suit them more naturally than lifting as tight as possible. Before the treatment I filled out a client chart and had a proper 1:1 consultation with her.

I like a defined look where the lashes clearly show from the front. So wherever I go, I always ask for a tight, defined lift! This time I said the same as usual, and the owner studied my eyes closely.

Honestly, when I thought of lash perms, I only thought of two styles: tight lift or natural lift. But this was the first time I learned there are many kinds of curls, and that the right design depends on your eye shape, lash length and growth direction. It was fascinating that the same lash perm can change the whole mood of your eyes depending on the curl you choose.

The bling perm process: about 1 hour, no glue

Moodmoa's bling perm is a low-irritation, no-glue method that took about 1 hour. Lying comfortably on a neatly kept bed, I drifted off before I knew it. Did you know I fell asleep snoring for the first time ever? That's how good she is. Even I was shocked.

The owner has 10 years of beauty experience, and she was careful, meticulous and made it pretty throughout. My lashes are sparse and in poor condition, so I was worried, but it was really impressive to watch her tidy the few lashes I have one by one and design the curl to suit my eyes. The no-glue method made it even more comfortable, and she kept checking whether anything felt uncomfortable, so I just lay there relaxed for the whole hour~

Damaged lashes: why the bling perm?

Seeing the condition of my damaged lashes, the owner recommended the signature bling perm. Between frequent lash perms and inconsistent home care, my lashes were honestly in a sad state when I arrived. She explained that along with the basic perm process, the nutrition and moisture clinic is handled carefully too.

Lash density, length, growth direction and damage differ for everyone, so she said it's important to design for the current condition rather than doing everything the same way. I really liked that she consulted and explained so thoroughly before starting.

U-curl lash perm: before and after

The U-curl bling perm result was a curl with every lash neatly arranged, without any overly bent or unnaturally lifted look. Ta-da! Can you see the finished look? The U-curl the owner recommended really suited my eyes.

The U-curl rises in a soft curve from the root, so my lash length showed naturally. I used to think only a super-tight lift made a pretty lash perm, but this time I truly felt that choosing a curl that suits your eye shape is what matters.

Before the treatment, my lashes drooped and sank slightly into my eyelids, and my eyes looked blurry overall. After the U-curl lash perm, the hidden length showed and my eyes looked brighter and more defined.

Best of all, the lashes weren't clumped to one side or tangled, just so neatly arranged! The curl holds without an eyelash curler or mascara, so even bare-faced my eyes look livelier. What I liked most was that they look naturally defined without feeling overdone. I'm also pleased that I'll probably spend a bit less time on the curler and mascara each morning.

Overall verdict on Moodmoa Lash & Brow

What I liked about Moodmoa Lash & Brow, a Bansong-dong lash perm salon, is that it doesn't stop at lifting lashes: it considers your eye shape and lash condition and helps you find a curl that suits you. Here's what stood out most.

• Friendly, detailed directions even before the visit
• A warm, cozy shop atmosphere
• Custom consultation based on your eye shape and lash condition
• Careful work from an owner with a full 10 years of beauty experience

If you've had lash perms that didn't turn out the way you wanted, or you wonder which curl suits you, do get a proper consultation at Moodmoa. Especially if you're like me and always insisted on a tight lift, this is a good chance to ask about other curls that suit your eyes.

From the thorough consultation to the comfortable treatment space and careful 1:1 care, I was happy with Moodmoa in Dongtan! I'm even more satisfied with this U-curl lash perm because I found a design that suits my eyes, so I plan to go back!
