Compare Seoul K-Beauty Experiences

At $119.58 for a 210-minute session, this works out to $0.57 per minute, against $1.21 to $1.72 for every other personal colour option on the page. The rating is 4.78 from 10 reviews, a thinner base than the busier salon products. However, it is the longest single session listed anywhere on this page, so the low rate is not coming from a shorter appointment. The session includes a consultation, the analysis itself, and 30 curated outfit photos.

With 548 reviews, this is the most-reviewed K-beauty experience on the page; the next busiest has 374. At $68.36 it also sits at the bottom of the hair and makeup price range here, and the two-hour session covers styling plus a full makeup application at a Cheongdam-dong salon that lists celebrity hair and makeup as its specialty. Sessions are run in English and Japanese. The same salon's other options include a basic haircut from $10.55.

$68.29 for 90 minutes works out to $0.75/minute, which is more affordable than two other classes $150 for the two-person version and $250 for the one-on-one session by the same host. The price is also the lowest of any Korean makeup class on the page. With 4.73 stars across 160 reviews, it runs in English and Korean.

At $305.85 this is the most expensive experience on the page, and it is meant to be. The 120-minute session is the full idol treatment rather than a single service, and it sits at the top of a three-tier ladder from the same salon: $58.89 for styling alone, $210.95 for basic coloring, then this. It holds a 5-star rating from 22 reviews, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours out, which is worth having on a booking this size.
