Korean lash lifts are quickly becoming one of the most requested and talked-about techniques in the lash and brow industry, not because they replace traditional lash lifts, but because they solve problems many artists face every day.
If you regularly see clients with downward-facing, coarse, or stubborn lashes that don’t respond well to traditional methods, the Korean technique may be exactly what’s missing from your salon menu.
Why Korean Lash Lifts Are Different
Unlike traditional wrapping methods, Korean lash lifts focus on softening the lashes while they are already swept upward onto a flat shield. This approach offers several advantages, most notably what we refer to at Elleebana as “resetting the base root tension.” By lifting the lash directly from the root, the action of the lotions in this area ensures maximum flexibility at the base of the lash. This allows for a longer stretch at the root prior to the neutralisation step, creating both the illusion and the reality of a more dramatic lift and enhanced lift. Rather than producing a curl through the mid-lengths alone, this technique delivers a more elevated, open-eye result that appears longer, cleaner, and distinctly more modern.
The “Aha” Moment: Control & Precision on Resistant Lashes
One of the biggest “aha” moments for artists is understanding why this works so well on resistant lashes. By using a viscosity controller to thicken Step 1, the lotion stays exactly where you place it, giving you greater control, reduced risk of product migration, and the ability to hold stubborn lashes in position with minimal or no traditional adhesive. This added control is what makes the Korean method so effective for heavy or downward-growing lash lines.
A Healthier Approach to Lash Lifting
Another major factor is lash health. Korean Lash Lift techniques pair best with CHC-based systems such as Elleeplex Profusion, offering a gentler restructuring process that helps reduce the risk of over-processing while maintaining lash softness, flexibility, and long-term integrity, especially important for repeat clients. We also incorporate Elleeplex ReGen, the world’s most advanced lash bond builder, designed to relink disulphide bridges that may not have been evenly reformed during the neutralisation step. The result is improved lash structure, strength, and overall integrity, leading to healthier lashes, longer-lasting results, and a smoother, more controlled grow-out without unruly direction changes.
Why Korean Lash Lifts Make Business Sense
But beyond results, Korean lash lifts also make strong business sense.
Because this technique requires greater precision, customised placement, and advanced skill, it should be positioned as a premium service, not a standard lash lift.
Most salons successfully introduce Korean lash lifts by creating a tiered menu, for example:
• Signature Lash Lift
• Advanced / Korean Lash Lift
This immediately communicates that it is a specialised option designed for resistant, downward-facing, or more complex lash types, with the ability to deliver a true wow factor while accentuating length. Often considered the holy grail of lash lifting, this approach meets what every client wants: the longest-looking, healthiest lashes possible. So why not give your clients the very best chance to achieve exceptional results?
How to Price Korean Lash Lifts
When it comes to pricing, Korean lash lifts are not about being faster, they are about control, problem-solving, and superior outcomes. Pricing should reflect expertise, not just appointment length.
Many salons position Korean lash lifts approximately:
• $90–$130 AUD as an advanced lash lift
• Up to $150 AUD for specialty or corrective services
Your exact pricing should factor in:
• Advanced training and certification
• The precision and consultation involved
• Product systems and tools used
• The premium results achieved
• Your brand positioning and local market
This structure allows you to increase your average booking value, confidently treat a wider range of clients, and turn “not suitable for lash lifts” consultations into premium services.
The Benefits of Adding Korean Lash Lifts to Your Service List
Adding Korean lash lifts to your service list allows you to:
• Confidently treat downward, coarse, and resistant lashes
• Achieve stronger lift from the root
• Improve control, precision, and lash direction
• Reduce the risk of lash drop and inconsistent outcomes
• Introduce a premium, higher-value service
• Expand your client base and increase profitability
If you’ve ever thought, “Some clients just aren’t suited to lash lifts,” Korean techniques often change that conversation completely.
