Sinchon lash lift studio: root-lifted Premium CU curl at Zenmove

Why I chose a lash lift over a curler

I got the Premium Perm at Zenmove (ZEN:MOOV), between Hongdae and Sinchon. When you do your makeup, even one well-lifted set of lashes makes your eyes look so much sharper, right? Curling my lashes every single time is a hassle, and the curl drops quickly anyway, so this time I went and got a lash lift!

I think what matters is not just lifting the lashes hard, but finishing a curl that suits my eye shape and lash condition. So here is my honest review of the Premium Perm I got at Zenmove!

Zenmove location and opening hours

Zenmove is at 28 Seogang-ro 11-gil, Unit 102, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, and is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00. Reservations are available, there is a waiting area, and pets are reportedly allowed.

What kind of place is Zenmove?

Zenmove is a private beauty studio that specializes in lash and brow care.

Everyone's eye shape is different, and so are lash length, direction and texture, so rather than applying the same curl to everyone, I think finding the design that suits you is what counts. A lash lift with too strong a curl can look heavy, while one that's too weak may not feel like you had anything done, right? That's why I liked that Zenmove tailors the result to your own eyes, natural but still defined.

What is a Premium CU curl lash lift?

The treatment I got at Zenmove this time was the Premium CU curl perm! The CU curl's trademark is that lashes sweep upward from the root, making the eyes look noticeably sharper.

I usually like a style where the lashes are clearly lifted and the eyes look defined. So instead of a softly gentle curl, I picked the CU curl, which lifts right from the lash root. The mood of a lash lift changes with the curl type, and the CU curl is the style where lashes lift boldly upward.

CU curl lash lift before and after

Here's the result of the CU curl lash lift I got at Zenmove! You can see even in the photo that the lashes are lifted right from the root, can't you? Every single lash has an upward curl, and my eyes looked much more defined.

I especially liked that the curl was neatly finished all the way to the lash tips. With my eyes open, the lashes don't droop down but sweep up, and my eyes feel so much sharper! If you like the look of a curler-lifted, tight curl, I think you'd be happy with the CU curl too. With this Premium CU curl perm, my lashes lifted as much as I wanted, and I was satisfied.

Lash serum and lash comb gift after the treatment

After the treatment, Zenmove also gave me a lash serum, a lash comb and even a small snack. What I personally liked was how thoughtfully they looked after me even once the treatment was over.

They gave me a serum that helps with lash care and a lash comb for keeping lashes neat. On top of that, they prepared a little snack, which was a small but nice touch. You could feel the thoughtfulness: it doesn't end with the lash lift, they give you what you need to keep caring for your lashes at home. Little gestures like this really stick in my memory!

Overall verdict on the Zenmove Premium Perm

With a lash lift, I think it's not only about making a curl but how well it suits your eyes. Zenmove designs around each person's lash condition and eye shape, so I think it suits anyone who wants to talk through the look they want and get cared for accordingly.

I'd especially recommend a lash lift to people who find using a curler a hassle, or who want natural but defined eyes. The Premium Perm I got this time was finished with a clean curl, and I was happy with it. If you're looking for a Hongdae lash lift or a Sinchon lash lift, finish the eye shape that suits you at Zenmove! I felt good knowing I can go a while without worrying about a curler and with pretty lashes.
