What is the
Korean
Lash Lift

The Korean Lash Lift is the newest and most innovative advancement in professional lash lifting -  a modern, lash-friendly beauty treatment designed to lift, curl, and define your natural lashes while maintaining their health and strength. 

Developed using Korean-inspired techniques, this system uses a unique 2-shield method:

  • Lashes are first pre-lifted from the root using a specially designed flat shield for enhanced definition.
  • They are then curled and lifted with a glueless shield.  

The result? Beautifully lifted, longer-looking lashes - no extensions, no harsh perming agents, and no damage. 

At the heart of the treatment is our Cysteamine-based Step 1 formula, an alternative to traditional lash lift solutions containing TGA (Thioglycolic Acid). This advanced formula focuses on precision, nourishment, and protection, helping to maintain ultimate lash health and condition throughout the process.


This lash lift system and technique originate from Korea, where innovative beauty techniques are often developed. Korean Lash Lift has gained global recognition for delivering impressive, long-lasting results while using a keratin-enriched, conditioning system that keeps lashes flexible, glossy, and strong. 

Why Korean Lash Lift is Unique

The trending treatment, Korean Lash Lift, represents the perfect fusion of K-Beauty innovation and professional-grade artistry:

  • Gentle Formula: The formula is gentle on the hair and skin protecting the health of the hair.
  • Sensitivity: Gentle and low odour solution for maximum comfort.
  • Lash Health Focused: Cysteamine formulas contain keratin and amino acids which keep the lashes supple, strong and healthy.
  • 2-Step Technique: Uses the Korean flat shield with step 1 to gently pre-lift lashes, followed by glueless shields to curl. This gives a dynamic lift.
  • Exceptional dynamic results are achieved with this new trending technique.
  • Easier application method for lash lift technicians.

It’s not just a lash lift
it’s a treatment that transforms and protects. 

What’s the difference between Korean Lash Lift and the original system? 

Our Korean lash lifting solution is powered by Cysteamine – a gentle ingredient that works by safely reshaping the bonds in the lash and brow hair to give them a dramatic, lifted look. 

Cysteamine is a skin and lash friendly alternative that is kind to your hair and helps avoid dryness. 

Cysteamine formulas give bold results. It’s a kinder way to lift lashes and tame brows, and is the perfect addition for professionals who care about hair health. 

Benefits of a Korean Lash Lift:

  • Step 1 Cysteamine formula: A softer pH compared to regular Thioglycolate Lash Lift. 
  • Korean Flat Shields pre-lift the lashes therefore giving enhanced results. 
  • Glue Balm is used instead of a stickier Lash Lift Glue. 
  • Quick, easy, comfortable treatment.  
  • Exceptional results achieved that keep clients coming back again and again. 

Plus! Added bonus with Lash Perfect Korean Lash Lift Sachets: 

  • Get more from each sachet! It is possible to use each sachet of steps 1, 2 and 3 for two separate treatments. When doing this, the opened sachets must be sealed with tape and marked with the opening date. The contents should be used within 2 weeks.  


The Korean Lash Lift reflects the rise of science-led, clean beauty treatments, offering results that feel as natural as they look.
