If you've searched for "Korean lash lift" and landed here, this is worth two minutes before you book anywhere. It's a genuinely confusing corner of the beauty world: several different names are used for lash lift systems that are similar but not identical, and salons aren't always clear about which one they actually use. Here's the honest breakdown, and exactly what we offer at Lash It Up in Enfield.

What people usually mean by "Korean lash lift"

"Korean lash lift" isn't a single registered system the way LVL is. It's a term that's grown popular through social media to describe lash lifts styled with a softer, more natural curl, sometimes paired with a keratin conditioning step, associated with the K-beauty aesthetic. Different salons using the term can mean slightly different things by it, which is part of why it gets confusing to compare.

What LVL actually is

LVL stands for Length, Volume, Lift. It's a specific, branded lash lift system created by Nouveau Lashes, one of the most established and widely trained systems in the UK. The technique lifts your natural lashes from the root using a silicone shield, sets the curl with a gentle solution, and finishes with an optional tint. That same core technique is how virtually every professional lash lift works, whatever name is on the products.

The honest answer At Lash It Up we offer a standard professional lash lift using tried-and-tested, professional-grade products. It isn't branded as LVL and it isn't marketed as a "Korean lash lift". The core technique, lifting your natural lashes from the root with a silicone shield, is the same family of treatment under all three names, and so is the result. If you're expecting a particular branded product or technique, ask us directly before booking so we can tell you honestly whether it's a match.

Why this distinction actually matters

Booking under one name and expecting a different specific technique or product system is where disappointment comes from, not from the quality of the result itself. We'd rather you know exactly what you're booking before your appointment than have you arrive expecting something we don't offer.

What we can promise is the result: natural lashes lifted and curled from the root, held for 6 to 8 weeks, using tried-and-tested professional products and over 10 years of hands-on experience. If that's what you're after, regardless of which name brought you here, you're in the right place. You can see how it works step by step on our lash lift & tint page, or compare it against extensions in our lash lift vs eyelash extensions guide.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer Korean lash lift at Lash It Up?

We offer a standard professional lash lift using tried-and-tested, professional-grade products, rather than a treatment branded as "Korean lash lift" or the LVL system. All three sit in the same family of techniques (lifting and curling your natural lashes from the root), and the result is the same: lifted, defined lashes that last 6 to 8 weeks. If you're expecting a specific branded product or method, ask us before booking and we'll be upfront about the match.

Is LVL the same as a regular lash lift?

Very nearly. "Lash lift" is the general term for the treatment; LVL is one specific branded system for delivering it, made by Nouveau Lashes. At Lash It Up we offer a standard professional lash lift rather than the LVL brand, and the technique and result are the same family: your natural lashes lifted and curled from the root.

How long does a lash lift last?

A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, following your natural lash growth cycle, before you'll want to book again. We've covered this in more detail in our how long does a lash lift last guide.

Should I ask what technique a salon uses before booking?

Yes, always, wherever you book. Terms like "Korean lash lift", "keratin lash lift" and "LVL" get used loosely across the industry, and a quick question before you book saves any confusion about what you're actually getting.
