Lash lift for glasses wearers in Gongdeok, Seoul: Iyo Shop

My lashes are on the longer side but they droop down quite a bit, so they sometimes poke my eyes in daily life — that's why I get lash lifts every so often! This time I went for a lash lift near Gongdeok Station and had such a satisfying experience with Iyo Shop's thorough yet fast service that I wanted to write it up.

Iyo Shop, a lash lift salon near Gongdeok Station, is located close to Exit 3, so it was easy to get to! What's even better is that it's open until 9pm Monday through Saturday, so it's great for booking after work. Head up to the 2nd floor of the building and walk to the right, and you'll find Iyo Shop.

There's a sign placed out like this so it's pretty easy to find, and the entrance was right around the corner. The entrance location can be a bit confusing, but once you spot the sign, just turn the corner and you'll find it! I arrived right on time for my appointment.

Inside Iyo Shop: consultation area and 1:1 treatment room

True to a beauty salon, the interior was done in a really clean white tone. It looked so tidy at first glance that it made me trust the place even more!

There was a consultation area set up to one side for before the treatment, and a full-length mirror was placed nearby for checking the results afterward. Iyo Shop, a lash lift salon near Gongdeok Station, is known for doing both lash lifts and lash extensions well, so it seems like a great place to have a thorough consultation and go with the style that suits you.

This time I went into the inner beauty room where the lash lift would be done. There was a rack inside, which was great for hanging bags and coats. And since it's done 1:1, you can get even more comfortable, focused treatment — another reason I'd recommend this lash lift salon.

Consultation at Iyo Shop: lashes poking the eye and smudging glasses

Before starting the lash lift, she carefully checked the condition of my lashes. She also asked if I had a particular curl style in mind — my lashes are pretty long so they kept poking my eyes, and when I wear glasses the lenses get smudged where the lashes rub against them, so I had a few discomforts like that. I didn't have a specific style in mind, but from all the reviews I'd seen saying the director at Iyo Shop tailors the curl well to each person's eyes, I trusted her and went ahead!

The treatment bed was also kept hygienically clean! It's a private salon that treats one person at a time, but it's clearly managed carefully when it comes to hygiene too — I could see why it has so many regulars. And I could really feel that the director's hands were fast yet thorough, which made me even more excited to see the results after the lash lift.

Before the lash lift: long lashes growing straight down

This is how my lashes looked before the lash lift. As you can see, they were barely visible... the kind that droops downward, so without using an eyelash curler my eyes looked sleepy and puffy. But my face doesn't suit overly dramatic lashes either, so I wanted the lash lift to soften that heavy-lidded look just a bit.

After the nutrition + black tinting lash lift, inner-corner lashes included

Here's how it looked after the nutrition + black tinting lash lift — what do you think!! Every single lash was lifted so beautifully, one by one, and I really loved it! There was no stinging or discomfort at all, and the curl shape suited my eyes perfectly after the treatment — I was so happy! There was another thing that really showed how thorough she was.

My lashes are densely packed all the way to the inner corner of my eyes, which is usually the part that gets missed during a lash lift. But at Iyo Shop, the lashes were lifted cleanly from the inner corner all the way to the end, with a natural curl — I'm really satisfied, haha.

She also explained the aftercare instructions clearly, and most of all, I loved the results so much that I want to try an under-lash perm next time! If you're looking for a place that does great lash lifts near Gongdeok Station, I'd definitely recommend visiting.
