Teacher JIEUN explains how to use different colors to help you looks more confident and be better and better. This is pretty charming environment as the pictures. Also no worries about the languages problems, cuz there is an interpreter to assist you to know yourself more. This is a great experience in Korea. 1/consulting room: make sure what kind of colors you could put colors fabrics to fit your own face.&2/There is a make-up room shows many makeup items.

My friends and I booked this Personal Color Analysis to be more informed with choosing clothes and makeup that best suit us. The place is really beautiful. Kate, who assisted us that day, was really helpful and patient with all our questions. She explained everything really well. She told us not only about our best clothing and makeup color but also our hair color, contact lenses, textiles, perfume, and accessories. This has been a really great experience!

Let me start with how accommodating they were, as I was an hour late to my original schedule to due flight delays and long immigration lines, I messaged them through email that I will be late and they replied fast that they will wait for me. The trip to Jamsil to the salon was really easy as I used the subway to get there. I initially purchased the 15 step but upgraded it to the 18 step, the service was reallyyyy good. Banya was the one who took care of me that day and she explained each step along the way. The service was top notch and i wasn't able to get his name but kudos also to the guy who assisted me in the massage chair (I think I fell asleep as it was really good). My scalp felt so light and clean after the whole process and Banya even recommended a haircut I can try. Overall, it is a delightful experience and hoping to see good results after the pores on my scalp were cleared. Thank you, Banya and to your team too!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to my stylist and all staff for the warm welcome. Upon arriving, I showed a picture to my stylist of the cut and style and she delivered exactly what I wanted. Considering the price, I think I got a great deal here. Also, the stylist washed my hair thoroughly, like really massaging my scalp and cleaning the back of my ears. I didn’t mind the slight rough hand because for me it felt great- like a deep clean. I’m so glad I came here. Ive attached pictures but they were taken when I came back home at the end of the day.
