U-curl lash perm for drooping lashes in Gwanak, Seoul: Yeppeojina

About a month and a half after my lash perm, the curl started loosening and looked uneven and messy. I couldn't just leave it like that, so right after work I rushed over to Yeppeojina, a salon in Sillim known for doing lash perms well! Here's my honest review of the black-tint lash perm I've always been happy with ✨

Yeppeojina's location, hours, and how to book

Yeppeojina is at 31 Bongcheon-ro 31-gil, 1F, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, about a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Bongcheon Station. Hours are Mon–Sat 11:00–22:00, closed every Sunday. Booking is confirmed via Naver Reservation with a ₩20,000 deposit, and same-day booking was possible too!

It's close to Bongcheon subway station, so it was really convenient to stop by on my way home from work!

It's easy to get to not just from Bongcheon but also from Sillim or Seoul National University of Education area, so I'd strongly recommend it to anyone nearby.

After changing into indoor slippers, a clean, pleasant white-toned interior greeted me. The manager welcomed me kindly as soon as I arrived, so I could wait feeling good about it!

Why I chose U-curl instead of L-curl: the one-on-one consult

At Yeppeojina, a one-on-one consultation tailored to your eye shape and preference happens before the treatment. I originally preferred the tightly-lifted L-curl, but the manager doing my treatment had such pretty lashes herself...!?

The moment I saw her lashes I immediately said, "Please do the exact same design as yours!" 🤭

So this time, instead of just going for a tight lift, I decided on a U-curl design that curls up more naturally and softly!

Why I added the black tinting set

Yeppeojina's black tinting set coats the lashes in a black nourishing finish that makes the eyes look defined, like you're wearing mascara. In summer, even with an eyelash curler, sweat and oil make the curl droop and makeup fade quickly. So I added it to boost both longevity and definition!

They say the defined look lasts 4–6+ weeks. For lashes like mine that droop easily, it's a must-have option.

U-curl lash perm: before and after

Before — the curl that loosened after a month and a half

This is the before state — the perm from a month and a half ago had loosened and looked messy and droopy. Every morning, using the eyelash curler during makeup was taking a surprisingly long time and irritating my lashes.

After — defined U-curl even without mascara

Right after the treatment I looked in the mirror and was completely satisfied! ✨ Without feeling overly bent, the U-curl curled up softly and gracefully, fitting my eye shape perfectly.

On top of that, with the black tinting added, my lashes looked dark and defined even without any mascara at all, making my eyes look 1.5 times bigger!

Tips for keeping a lash perm looking good longer

After a lash perm, you need to minimize irritation to keep the curl pretty and tangle-free for longer!

• Use a 'black lash serum' instead of mascara — it's less irritating during cleansing and still keeps the definition, so it's the best.
• Brush frequently in the direction of the lash grain with a mascara wand

These days I just swipe on the black serum in the morning before work, which cuts my makeup time way down and keeps my eyes looking defined — getting ready every morning feels great 🤍
