Winter Dark personal color analysis in Bangbae, Seoul: Serah Studio

Where is Serah Studio Bangbae Station branch and how do you get there?

Serah Studio Bangbae Station branch is a personal color analysis studio at 142 Donggwang-ro 19-gil, Unit 401, Seocho-gu, Seoul. I visited the Serah Studio branch in Bangbae-dong where you can get your personal color done.

By public transit it's about a 10-minute walk from Gubanpo Station, so access isn't bad. If you drive, contact the studio in advance and you can use the Lotte Castle Heron officetel retail parking lot free for 3 hours. (Lotte Castle Heron officetel address: 112 Donggwang-ro 1-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul.) If you're coming by car, this should come in handy!

The price was similar to the other personal color studios I looked into. It's no different from the general going rate, and considering the quality of the service it was more than good enough, so I was satisfied.

How to get into Unit 401

Serah Studio is in Unit 401 of the building. Press the Unit 401 call button at the ground-floor entrance, then press the bell button, and they'll open the door for you from inside. Then just take the elevator up!

What is the personal color analysis process at Serah Studio?

The analysis at Serah Studio Bangbae Station branch starts with a pre-visit checklist. Before the real analysis begins, you write down things like your usual makeup habits, favorite colors and style, so the analysis fits your own taste and daily life, which I liked. They also had a daily-portion pack of nuts and cold water ready for the session, which felt very thoughtful :)

Element test and drape analysis

First up was the element test. They checked the basic color elements such as skin tone, eye color, hair color and lip color, going through one by one which colors suit me.

During the session they looked at me in detail using fabric color drapes, and it was fascinating to see with my own eyes which colors brighten my face and which make it look dull!

Flattering patterns, plus foundation and lip colors

Besides personal color, I also learned which patterns suit me, which I can use right away in real life when choosing scarves or accent pieces of clothing. Finally, I could check foundation and lip colors matched to my face tone, so I now have colors to refer to straight away when I do my makeup.

The result: blue-base cool tone, Winter Dark

The writer's result at Serah Studio was a blue-based cool tone, with a tone and type of high-chroma Winter Dark. Behind the lighting board, four categories were separated out (Light, Mute, Bright and Dark), organized step by step so it's easy to take in at a glance.

How long does it take, what's the atmosphere, and is body type analysis available?

The personal color analysis at Serah Studio Bangbae Station branch took about 1 hour, and body type analysis is available too. The owner explained everything kindly and kept the mood relaxed, so the hour flew by!

Since body type analysis is offered, you can also find out which clothes, necklines, accessories and jewelry suit your body type. That makes it handy for choosing clothes and accessories, and I think I can apply it to my styling right away, so I plan to visit again!

Results come by email

After the session, you receive your personal color results and colorimeter test results by email, which makes them easy to refer back to later.
