Gangnam brow bar for bridal brow design and self-grooming: Minjei

I'm a bride-to-be currently preparing for my wedding snap photos. Brides getting ready for their wedding really do have to take care of so much, don't we? I've been running around to dermatology clinics and the gym, working hard on self-care, but eyebrows turned out to be one of the biggest things you can't ignore on your face. They say your whole impression can hinge on your eyebrows alone.

So today I visited Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch in Gangnam for some eyebrow care. Here's my review after an hour of getting my brows neatly sorted out.

How to get to Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming in Gangnam Seocho

Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch is close to Gangnam Station's Sinbundang Line, so it's easy to reach if you're taking public transportation. You can book ahead through Naver Reservations. It's popular, so slots can fill up on weekends or holidays, so I'd recommend reserving in advance. Today I did the brow design I'd been most worried about, along with an eyebrow consultation and a brow makeup & brow makeup lesson.

What the Minjei Makeup studio and its hygiene are like

My first impression walking in was that this is a really meticulously kept shop. I've been to a lot of shops while preparing for my wedding, and Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming near Gangnam Station felt cleaner and more carefully prepped than most, which showed the owner's effort and made me look forward to the treatment. In particular, seeing that every single tool that would touch my eyebrows was individually sterilized already gave me confidence.

Before the appointment: thick, dark eyebrows

A bit embarrassing, but here's my eyebrows right before treatment from the owner, haha... My eyebrows are quite thick and dark, so eyebrow tattoo isn't really a technique that suits me, and rather than a temporary fix, I wanted to actually learn and practice how to groom my own eyebrows — that's what brought me to Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch.

Honestly, for us clumsy-handed folks, hearing instructions verbally doesn't make it easy to actually do it ourselves, right? But the owner at Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch not only shapes your eyebrows to fit your face and style directly, but if you do the lesson together with it, she also teaches you eyebrow grooming methods you can easily do yourself at home. Even just doing the method I learned that day on my own once in a while, I've gotten a lot of comments that I look much more put-together than before.

Now, let me reveal my eyebrows, reborn under the owner's touch, haha.

How the brow consultation changed her whole look

Eyebrows are hard to shape on your own even normally, and when I tried grooming them myself, the two sides would end up subtly different, so it was tough to manage alone. This time, having an eyebrow expert design and groom them for me directly gave a clearly neater, more polished feel.

I especially loved that she took my face shape, brow bone, and desired eyebrow shape into account to find a line that suited me, and it was surprising how just getting my eyebrows tidied made my overall impression feel a bit sharper, haha.

The brow makeup lesson that came with the grooming

At Minjei Makeup Eyebrow Grooming, Gangnam Seocho Branch, I did the eyebrow grooming together with a brow makeup lesson. Even the grooming alone gave me a much neater look, but adding the owner's brow makeup lesson on top of that made me feel like it'll be so much easier to maintain on my own.

Since she pinpoints exactly the right method for your own eyebrows, I think anyone whose makeup skills are a bit weak would really benefit from doing the lesson along with the grooming.
