Lash extensions and wave hair at Moi Hair Makeup, a Hongdae salon

Moi Hair Makeup is a hair and makeup salon on the basement floor of a building 90m from Hongdae Station Exit 3 in Mapo, Seoul. Ahead of a profile photo shoot, the writer had thick wave hair, lash extensions applied one lash at a time, and full makeup at Moi Hair Makeup, and the waves held even on thin hair that never takes a perm or a curling iron. Separate hair and makeup artists work on each guest, and the salon even sends you home with the lip color it used, making it an easy stop before a profile or wedding-day shoot.

A first-ever hairline waxing session at Super Waxing Gangnam was over quickly and left the hairline so clean that the writer now wears her hair tied back every day. Eyebrow waxing wasn't possible because her brows were already plucked, so she booked a return visit the same day — a fast, tidy result worth coming back for.
