Naomi Oni lost her eyelashes and hair following the incident on December 30, 2012, in Dagenham, East London.
The 22-year-old has had skin grafts to cover the severe burns and has been left with scars on her face, legs, chest, stomach and arms.
She also nearly went blind in one eye and lost her eyelid.
In a statement read out in court, Naomi Oni said the attack has made it "a battle to get by each day" at times leaving her feeling suicidal.
She added: " I'm going to have these scars as a reminder forever ... my injuries are due to the carefully planned acts of an evil, wicked person."
She disguised herself in a Muslim veil and followed Naomi Oni home from work before attacking her.
No clear motive has ever been discovered but it is believed the pair fell out in April 2011 after Ms Oni allegedly accused Konye of texting her boyfriend and called her an "ugly monster".
On sentencing Mary Konye, Judge David Radford said Konye had shown no remorse for the "deliberate and wicked act."
Following the assault Konye pretended to offer her former friend support, texting her in hospital.
Although it is thought Konye could have planned the attack for two years, she later suggested Oni had devised the whole thing to get "fame and fortune".
The attack is believed to have been a copycat version of the one suffered by model and TV presenter Katie Piper, who was badly scarred and left blind in one eye in an assault arranged by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, in 2008.
Previously, Ms Oni had told the court that Konye knew the impact the attack had on her after they watched a TV documentary about it.
