Gangnam Station lash salon: volume add-on, no mascara needed — Lashdol

These days, eye makeup is what eats up the most time every morning, haha. Even a little extra definition in the lashes changes the whole impression of your face, but doing the eyelash curler and mascara routine every single day gets old fast.

This time I got a consultation at Lashdol Gangnam Station and ended up choosing human-hair CC-curl lashes with LED extensions and a volume add-on. The result kept things natural while making my lashes noticeably fuller and more defined — overall a satisfying experience.

Where is Lashdol Gangnam Station, and what is the studio like?

Lashdol Gangnam Station is close to Exit 4 of Gangnam Station on the Sinbundang Line, so it wasn't hard to find. The moment I stepped inside, what struck me was how clean and calm the space felt.

The treatment beds were neatly arranged too, so I could lie back and get the treatment comfortably. Since lash work happens so close to the eyes, I was a bit nervous going in for the first time, but the consultation was relaxed from the start, which put me at ease.

• Location: 46 Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul / Exit 4, Gangnam Station (Sinbundang Line)
• Hours: 11:00–21:00, until 18:00 on Saturdays

Why human-hair CC curl with LED extensions and a volume add-on?

Even picking the curl type took a lot of thought. What I wanted wasn't just long, dramatic lashes — I wanted a style that looked natural but still gave my eyes definition.

When I told the director what look I was going for, she consulted with me about the curl based on my eye shape, and we settled on human-hair CC-curl. On top of that, I added LED extensions for better hold, and since I wanted a bit more fullness, I also went with the volume add-on.

At first I worried the volume add-on might look too heavy, but once I saw the finished result, that worry turned out to be unnecessary.

Lashdol Gangnam Station prices: first-visit discount and retouch deals

Lashdol offers a 10% discount on all treatments for first-time visitors, which makes it a little less intimidating for anyone coming in for the first time. Getting your lashes done nicely once matters, but keeping up with maintenance afterward is just as much of a concern.

Lashdol Gangnam Station also had retouch discounts set up at the 2-week and 3-week marks.

Before and after: how the volume add-on changed the eyes

When the treatment was done and I looked in the mirror, the first thing I noticed was the naturally lifted curl and fuller lashes.

Before the treatment

After the treatment

Thanks to the CC curl, my lashes stayed nicely lifted whenever I opened my eyes, and with the volume add-on, my eyes looked clearly more defined than before. I also loved the natural texture that comes from human hair.

Especially since I didn't want anything too dramatic, the human-hair CC-curl plus volume add-on combination worked really well for me. Even up close, it didn't feel overly heavy — more like my own lashes had gotten a bit longer and fuller, which I found really satisfying.

First time getting lash extensions in Gangnam? Ask about a volume add-on

First-timers probably worry, like I did, about "what if it ends up looking too dramatic?" That was my biggest concern too, but once I explained the look I wanted and got advice tailored to my eye shape, choosing became a lot easier.

I specifically went with a combination of natural human hair, a defined CC curl, LED extensions, and a volume add-on, and I liked that it kept the fullness while toning down the excessive feel. If your lashes look a bit sparse or you want more definition without mascara, it's worth asking about a volume add-on during your consultation.

If you're looking into lash extensions near Gangnam Station, or if it's your first time and you're unsure which curl and volume to choose, have a thorough consultation about the look you want and go with a design that suits you.
