Visiting Lashkimi with a Naver reservation

This visit to Lashkimi was by Naver reservation. Same-day booking is possible, but I reserved ahead on Naver to lock in a popular time slot.

I could go straight in when I arrived and the treatment started with no waiting. It's so close to Exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station that it's also easy to stop by briefly before or after meeting someone.

The pre-treatment consultation checks your lash condition

Before the treatment, Lashkimi spends time on a consultation that assesses your lash condition. I really liked that they took that time first.

My lash condition check results:

• 🌪 I hadn't been caring for my lashes lately → many shortened areas
• 🌪 Some spots had no lashes at all
• 🌪 They clearly pointed out the damaged areas

The care advice I got at the salon:

• 📲 An analysis of which habits caused my lashes to fall out
• 📲 Detailed advice on everyday care
• 📲 Guidance on maintenance after the treatment

This is the real differentiator. It's not just a treatment and done: I got care advice tailored to my own lash condition, which raised my satisfaction a lot. After the consultation, the treatment method was decided to suit my lashes.

Lashkimi tint perm for ₩45,000: an honest review

The treatment I chose this time was the Lashkimi tint perm, which takes 35 minutes and costs ₩45,000. It does the perm and the tint at the same time.

• ⏰ Time - 35 minutes
• 🎨 Effect - perm + tint (natural color) done together
• 💆 Best for - wanting lashes that are natural yet defined
• ✨ Finish - neat, lifted curl

Over those 35 minutes the treatment went smoothly. Since the perm and tint happen together, the strength is getting a natural yet defined look at once.

Not having my eyes sting during the treatment was a really big plus. When I got perms at other salons, my eyes sometimes stung, but at Lashkimi there was almost no irritation like that. For me, that was the big difference.

Tint perm result: natural and neat

Right after the Lashkimi tint perm, the result was a natural, not-overdone curl with a defined look from the tint. The main satisfaction points break down like this.

• ✨ Natural - a curl that isn't lifted too much
• ✨ Neat - the lashes were tidied up cleanly
• ✨ Defined - the tint gives a more defined look
• ✨ No irritation - no stinging during or after
• ✨ Lasting - the clean finish should hold naturally

It suited my taste really well, since I usually dislike overly artificial curls. When I looked in the mirror, my face looked defined even without makeup, so I was very happy. I felt glad I'd had it done there.

Self-rated satisfaction (out of 10)

My overall score for the Lashkimi tint perm is 9.4 / 10. Only value for money got an 8; everything else is 9 to 10.

• ⭐ Result - 9 / 10 (natural and neat)
• ⭐ Irritation - 10 / 10 (no eye stinging)
• ⭐ Consultation / guidance - 10 / 10 (thorough lash care advice)
• ⭐ Value for money - 8 / 10 (₩45,000 for the tint perm is fair)
• ⭐ Accessibility - 10 / 10 (1 minute on foot from Hongik Univ. Station Exit 9)
• ⭐ Overall - 9.4 / 10

Habits I'm avoiding after the lash perm

Based on the lash care advice from Lashkimi, these are the habits I'm avoiding lately.

• 🚫 Cutting back on habits that irritate the lashes
• 🚫 Cutting back on rubbing my eyes
• 🚫 Cleansing gently around the lashes
• 🚫 Cleansing thoroughly after using cosmetics / mascara
• 🚫 Leaving gaps between perm / extension treatments instead of overdoing it

I'm really paying attention and following the care advice from the salon, and I hope my lashes will be in even better shape by my next treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Can you book Lashkimi on the same day?

Lashkimi is listed as accepting same-day bookings. Still, for popular times (evenings / weekends), it's safer to reserve on Naver beforehand. I booked ahead on Naver and the treatment started right away with no waiting.

Do your eyes sting during a lash perm?

In my case, there was no stinging during or after the treatment at Lashkimi. At other salons my eyes sometimes stung during perms, but here there was almost no such irritation. I think people with sensitive eyes could do it without worry.

Do they give lash care advice too?

In the consultation before treatment, Lashkimi checks your lash condition, analyzes which habits caused the damage, and gives careful advice on everyday care. Getting guidance on maintenance after the treatment was a really big plus. It's not just a treatment and done: you get care advice tailored to you.

How does parking work at Lashkimi?

Parking is available at Lashkimi (free for up to 1 hour 30 minutes). The moisture perm and tint perm take about 30 to 35 minutes, so the treatment fits easily within the free parking time. I'd ask the salon directly about the exact parking spot.

What's the difference between the tint perm and the moisture perm?

The Lashkimi moisture perm (₩40,000, 30 minutes) is the most natural curl, focused on perm + moisture care. The tint perm (₩45,000, 35 minutes) does the perm and tint (color) together. If you want a natural effect, go for the moisture perm; if you want a perm and a defined look at once, I'd recommend the tint perm.

Hongdae lash perm at Lashkimi: final verdict

Lashkimi is a salon I'd recommend to anyone looking for a lash perm, lash extensions or lash care in Hongdae. It's 1 minute on foot from Hongik Univ. Station Exit 9, and you can book either on Naver or the same day.

I got the tint perm (₩45,000, 35 minutes) and the result covered everything: a natural yet defined finish, with no irritation during the treatment. In particular, the careful guidance before treatment on my lash condition, the cause of the damage and everyday care made a really big difference.

It's not a salon where you just get a treatment and leave; you also get care advice tailored to your own lashes. Next time, I plan to follow the care advice from the salon and go back once my lashes are in better shape.
