Why I went to Comma Hair & Makeup in Hongdae before a studio shoot
I had a studio shoot in the afternoon, so I went to Comma Hair & Makeup (꼼마헤어&메이크업) in Hongdae to get my hair and makeup done beforehand.
The moment I walked in, I noticed all the makeup products and tools laid out, and I was impressed by the manager (siljang) doing my makeup, who worked fast but carefully.
Since a shoot was coming up, I wanted to put a bit more care into my hair and makeup than usual, and the whole place felt well equipped for getting ready.

The makeup space and the products on hand
The shop is tidy and built around a white tone. There are several hair and makeup stations, plus separate private areas, which makes it a good setup for a shoot or an important day.
The makeup area had a wide range of cosmetics, from skincare to base, eye makeup and lip products.
In what order do makeup and hair go?
Makeup at Comma Hair & Makeup starts with prepping the skin, then goes on to base, and finishes step by step with the eye shape, lashes and mascara.
Hair can be done to the mood you want, such as waves or a voluminous style.
Why it worked well before a studio shoot
I had a studio shoot scheduled for that afternoon, so I visited Comma Hair & Makeup beforehand.
The manager worked quickly during my makeup, and it was convenient to finish hair and makeup in one place rather than arranging them separately. For lip color I used Pia V50 "Lonely Life" (고독한 인생).
Waiting area, fitting room, nail space and drinks
Inside Comma Hair & Makeup there's a waiting area, a fitting room, a place to leave your things, and a separate space for getting nails done. Simple drinks are available, and they even offer puffiness-relief tea. I had a cute cookie and an iced coffee. Overall it felt like a total space with everything you need when you come for hair and makeup, all in one place.
