Popular Korean Eyelash Treatments

In 2022, there is a move away from lash extensions and towards lash tints and lifts.
Results last for about 6 weeks and you can apply mascara over the top. Basically once your lashes grow out, it’s time to go in for a retouch.

Popular Korean Nail Art Trends 

Korean nail trends are always changing but gel nails in general are the most popular.
Nearly everyone in Korea does nail art as well, rather than just a simple one colour
Nail art in Korea is very seasonal, so you will notice most shops have a Christmas themed nail selection for December, cherry blossom / floral themed in spring, beach themed in summer, autumnal palette in fall etc. 
However, the techniques being used are what changes. At the moment, donut nails are really popular. This is a technique where a little bit of polish is used to create raised designs on the nails. Originally, they were being done in donut-like shapes, which is why they were called donut nails. Now, I see artists using them in a variety of shapes. 
Korean nail salons operate a little differently than western salons. Here, it’s common for salons to offer memberships. Most salons also have ‘monthly nail art specials’, where they will pre-prepare some set designs for the month at a discounted rate.  

KOREAN EYEBROW TRENDS

Brow Tattoos 


Brow tattooing has always been popular and this trend is continuing in 2022. Because only your eyes and eyebrows can be seen above COVID masks a lot of people have been keeping up with their lash and brow treatments.


Micro-shading, giving the brows a soft and powdery look, is very popular


Quite a quick procedure - it takes a few hours at most. The after-care is a little time consuming though.



If you are looking for a skilled tattoo artist in Korea, I can highly recommend Jisoo from Abil. 

Brow Lift

More and more people are doing a procedure called a brow lift, which is just a simple perm procedure to enhance the look of the eyebrows. It’s called a brow lift in Korean, but in English a brow lift is an actual surgical procedure.
This is similar to a lash lift, where you are just using your own natural eyebrow hairs but making them look a bit cleaner, clearer and stand out a bit more.
It lasts about a month - 1.5 months. The prerequisite is that you do actually need some eyebrow hairs so this is not a good procedure for people who don’t have a good set of brow hairs to begin with.
A lot of people end up doing a lift and tint at the same time to really bring out the line of their eyebrows.
