https://www.instagram.com/makeup_won
Separate reservation required
Additional cost
We send detailed instructions via DM
Visit the studio immediately after your makeover
You may also come with your own makeup done
There are three types of customers, and the process is different for each.
This is very important for planning your travel schedule.
A) If you want to use MOE (our partnered makeup shop)
You must make two separate reservations:
Hair & makeup at MOE
Photoshoot at StudioPeople
🔍 About pricing
- StudioPeople does not have MOE’s price list.
- All pricing and reservation details are provided directly by MOE.
- Please contact MOE via Instagram DM for the most accurate information.
⏱ About MOE’s timing (very important)
MOE usually requires around 2 hours for full K-beauty hair & makeup
After finishing your makeover, come directly to StudioPeople for your photoshoot
⚠️ Please note:
If your StudioPeople session is at 1:00 PM, you cannot book MOE at 12:00 PM.
The makeover requires the full 2 hours, and delays are common on busy days.
🕒 Example schedule
If your StudioPeople photoshoot is at 1:00 PM,
MOE will likely book your hair & makeup around 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
So the total time is:
2 hours (MOE) + StudioPeople shooting time
Many travelers do not expect the 2-hour K-beauty preparation time.
Please plan enough time during your trip.
⚠️ About reservations
StudioPeople cannot book or adjust MOE’s schedule for you
You must DM MOE directly to check availability and make payment
B) If you booked another salon (NOT MOE)
Perfectly fine!
You only need to reserve StudioPeople.
Please arrive 20 minutes early before your session.
The shooting process is the same
C) If you do NOT need hair & makeup
Simply book StudioPeople normally.
Just arrive 20 minutes early before your session.
