Gongdeok lash salon: C/L-curl lift for a faded self-perm, Iyo Shop

Today I'm bringing you a visit to the lash salon that gave me eyes that look bright and pretty even without makeup, haha.

Why I chose Iyo Shop near Gongdeok Station

Curling my lashes and putting on mascara every morning is a hassle, and the curler kept breaking my lashes, so I booked a lash perm at Iyo Shop (이요샵), a lash specialist near Gongdeok Station. The weather's getting hot and I'd been worrying about it, so I booked Iyo Shop, which is known for its skill around Gongdeok Station, and hurried over!

Iyo Shop is very close to Gongdeok Station, where Subway Lines 5 and 6, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line and the Airport Railroad all pass, so access is honestly the best! Being near the station, it's also a perfect spot to drop by after work or on weekends.

What are the atmosphere and hygiene like at Iyo Shop?

The inside of Iyo Shop is a cozy, clean white-toned space, like a café. When I opened the door, a tidy interior greeted me!

With the white tone throughout, it felt very hygienic. Cleanliness and hygiene really matter at a beauty salon, and with indoor slippers from the entrance and a sparkling, well-kept space, I felt completely at ease 😳🤍

How was the consultation for straight lashes after a faded DIY perm?

Before the treatment, the owner looked at my eye shape and the length and condition of my lashes, and asked what curl I wanted. She greeted me warmly, but my DIY perm from a month ago at home hadn't just loosened, it was basically straight lashes again 😢

I usually like doing things myself, but lately it's hot and I couldn't be bothered, so I went looking, and!! I found the perm of my life 😭 I guess a DIY job just doesn't lift this high without a professional. Now I know why professionals exist.

The owner looked carefully at my eye shape, lash length and condition, and asked in detail what style I wanted. I love a dramatic, tightly lifted curl, so I said a C-curl and L-curl feel, and she told me she'd lift them tight, natural yet defined and without any bends, to suit my eyes. I was so excited!

I was really impressed that she tailors the consultation so precisely, whether it's lash extensions or a perm design, to the look you want to create 👍

Does the Iyo Shop lash perm sting the eyes?

The perm was done in a private treatment area at the back, and there was no stinging or discomfort at all during the taping and the solution application. The moment I lay down on the bed, the bedding was so soft and warm that all my tiredness melted away.

The owner's touch was really delicate, and there was absolutely zero stinging or discomfort during taping and solution application! It was so comfortable that I fell into a deep sleep halfway through, haha.

How did the Iyo Shop lash perm turn out near Gongdeok Station?

The result was drooping, straight lashes lifted tight from the root with no bends. I woke up and the lash perm was finally done!! The moment I looked in the mirror, a genuine "Wow, amazing!" just slipped out 😭

My badly drooping lashes were lifted tight from the root, strand by strand and so luminous, and my eyes looked much clearer and more wistful! The curl was smooth and beautiful without a single bend, and I thought, I've found the perm of my life!

Even bare-faced, my eyes look twice as big and defined, my makeup time is way shorter, and my satisfaction is 2000%! It's a beauty salon with both meticulous skill and a delicate touch, so I plan to settle on Iyo Shop for my lashes from now on!!

If you're looking for a lash perm salon near Gongdeok that gives a perfect curl without damage, definitely visit Iyo Shop! I really, truly recommend it ✨

Even without makeup, the lashes alone give the effect of wearing makeup!!
