If you’ve been offering traditional lash lifts but struggling with inconsistent results, you’re not alone. Many artists notice lashes coming out over-processed, frizzy, or barely lifted at all. That’s where the Korean Lash Lift comes in — a technique that’s not only trending but also transforming the beauty industry with its gentle, precise, and consistent results.
As Canada’s first Korean Lash Lift educator, I’ve trained over 95 artists worldwide in this method — and in this guide, I’m going to break down everything you need to know about the Korean lash lift, how it compares to traditional lifts, and why it’s becoming the gold standard for lash artists.
What is a Korean Lash Lift?
Unlike traditional lash lifts that use thioglycolic acid-based solutions, the Korean method uses a cysteamine-based formula. This makes it gentler on the natural lash while still delivering dramatic root-to-tip lift. The process is also done in 3 carefully timed sequences, which gives artists more control and precision.
Key benefits of the Korean method:
-
Healthier lashes with less risk of over-processing and/ or underwhelming results
-
Longer-lasting results with better retention
-
Cleaner, more defined direction of lashes from root to tip
-
Much easier wrapping process once mastered
Korean Lash Lift vs Traditional Lash Lift
Traditional lifts have been the go-to for years, but many artists experience inconsistent results. One client may leave with the perfect curl, while another ends up with lashes that drop within days.
The Korean method fixes these issues by:
-
Allowing the solution to be applied all the way to the root safely
-
Using shields designed to work with different eye shapes and lash directions
-
Offering a system that prioritizes lash health first with intentional solution placement & added hydrating infused into each step
Why Korean Lash Lifts are Trending in Canada
I get calls and DMs every single day from clients asking for Korean Lash Lifts. Because of that, I have a a waitlist of over 50 clients and am currently booked out until October! It’s not just a “trend” — it’s a movement. In fact, many lash artists are finding that once they introduce this service, it quickly becomes their most requested treatment.
Canadian artists who are early adopters have a huge opportunity to stand out. Clients are actively searching for this method, and if you’re one of the first in your city to offer it, you’ll attract not only new clients but also build authority as an advanced lash artist.
How to Get Trained in the Korean Method
If you’re ready to level up your lash lifts, investing proper education is key. The Korean method requires specific knowledge around shield selection, wrapping techniques, and timing adjustments.
