Gangnam lash lift for poker-straight lashes, 1 hour: On The Boutique

These days doing my eyelash curler and mascara every morning felt kind of tedious, so I went to get a lash lift for the first time in a while.

Where is On The Boutique near Seolleung Station, and what is it like inside?

The place I visited was On The Boutique, which I found while searching for a lash lift near Seolleung Station. It was easy to find, close to Exit 4 of Seolleung Station, and since it's a private space where you get treated 1:1, I could relax during the service. I was treated directly by director Lahee.

A curl shaped to your eye line: how director Lahee consults

I told her I didn't want a super-lifted look, but rather a curl that would make my eyes look naturally clear and defined. I asked for something natural, and she said since my eyes are already on the clearer side, lifting the lashes too much could actually make them look a bit overwhelming.

So she designed the curl to suit my eye shape on her own. It felt more trustworthy having a professional look at my eyes directly and design accordingly. I liked that she kept the natural feel I wanted while still making my eyes look defined.

I liked that the interior was so clean and tidy inside! With a lash lift, the whole vibe can change quite a bit depending on how the curl is set, and I liked that she shaped the curl to match my eye shape and lash length.

On The Boutique menu, Naver booking and discount events

Looking at Naver Booking, there were several menu options — extensions, Signature Perm, Ddolmang Perm, black tinting add-on, and more — and this time I went with the On The Signature Perm. You can book through Naver, and since there's a discount, I'd recommend booking through Naver first before visiting.

They're open every day with no closed days, plus there's a ₩3,000 discount for repeat visits and a ₩5,000 credit for referrals, so it seems like a good place to drop by whenever you want to feel a bit prettier. What was especially nice was that I could just close my eyes and relax during the treatment, so the time passed faster than I expected. With the comfortable atmosphere and good music playing, I basically fell into a deep nap.

Completely straight lashes before the lash lift

This is my eye before the treatment. Au naturel haha. My lashes are pretty much completely straight to begin with, so I was a little worried whether the curl would take at all.

During the pre-treatment consultation, the director also told me that since my lashes are completely straight, we'd have to wait and see how well the curl would set. Still, she checked my lash condition carefully and said she'd shape the curl to match my eye shape, so I decided to trust her and go for it! And after about an hour of treatment—

The result after 1 hour: curl that held on straight lashes

And the result is... the curl came out this pretty ✨ I was worried whether it would work on such straight lashes, but it turned out way prettier than I expected, which was honestly kind of amazing haha. My eyes looked naturally more defined, and it wasn't an overly lifted look — it was exactly the natural curl I wanted, which made me like it even more!

When the treatment was done and I looked in the mirror, my eyes definitely looked much more defined now that the lashes were lifted. What I liked most was that it didn't feel artificially lifted, but more like the curl had naturally come alive. With curl in my lashes, my eyes look defined even without heavy mascara, and since I don't need to use a curler separately in the morning, my makeup time should definitely shorten.

Who should try the On The Signature Perm?

My lashes usually droop pretty quickly after using a curler, so I'd been thinking a lash lift would make things easier — and after trying it, I get why people keep coming back for it. On The Boutique also offers sugaring waxing alongside lash treatments, so it seemed like a good place to get multiple things done in one visit.

If you're near Seolleung Station looking for a natural lash lift or a curl tailored to your eye shape, On The Boutique is worth checking out. I'd especially recommend it to anyone like me who finds using a curler every day tedious, or who wants their eyes to look a bit more defined when doing makeup 🤍
