Yongsan hair and makeup salon for meeting his friends: Cheongdam Shop

Why Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch for meeting my boyfriend's friends

I had an important weekend get-together where I'd meet all of my boyfriend's friends, so I booked Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch (청담샵 신용산점), a makeup salon in Yongsan. Normally all I do is pat on some cushion foundation and swipe on lip balm, but I wanted to make a pretty first impression and treat myself a bit, so I decided to let the professionals handle it, hahaha. I searched like crazy for where to go and settled on Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch, which is famous by word of mouth for its stylish looks!

They matched the mood I wanted: a daily makeup look that was not overdone but clear and elegant, plus a hairstyle that was just perfect, haha. The moment my boyfriend saw me, he couldn't take his eyes off me and said I looked prettier than ever. My shoulders shot up to the sky, hahaha. Here's my honest, 200%-satisfied review >.<

Location and atmosphere of Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch

Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch is a short walk from both Sinyongsan Station and Yongsan Station, so access was great. It was also an easy route to get to the meeting place! As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a bright, luxurious interior with a refined mood that rivals a top salon in Cheongdam-dong, and I was excited from the first moment, haha.

Seeing lots of high-end color cosmetics brands lined up by tone at the vanity, I could really feel the pro vibe >.< The staff were also so kind and warm that my nerves melted away, hahaha.

A clear daily makeup look decided in a 1:1 consultation

What I liked most at Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch was the 1:1 custom consultation that started the moment I sat down! They don't just mechanically apply a standard look; they carefully asked about the style I usually like and the mood I wanted that day, haha.

Since it's a get-together with my boyfriend's friends, I'd like a daily concept that's not too much but is clear and bright.

They caught on right away and set the direction of my daily makeup to suit my face shape and skin tone >.< The base was smooth with no lifting at all, a peeled-egg skin glowing from within, and the eye makeup had lashes placed one by one so carefully that my eyes looked twice as big without being overdone, just so fresh and clear!!

The blush and lip color were also matched to my warm/cool tone for a subtle, healthy glow, and every time I looked in the mirror I thought, "I really have to take a one-day makeup class someday," haha.

Hair styling: volume and bouncy waves

The hair styling at Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch after the makeup was truly art too! They asked about the style I'd always wanted to try, then built up full volume to suit my head and face shape >.<

They gave me natural but bouncy waves and set them firmly so they wouldn't fall flat even in the wind, which amazed me, haha. With the hair and makeup working together, the whole look came out so elegant!

The head spa room inside Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch

A big find while looking around after my makeup! Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch has a professional head spa room that is very private and luxurious, hahaha. With a faint aroma, a luxurious spa bed and the latest scalp care equipment, the facility could give a lot of hotel spas a run for their money >.<

My scalp had been so tired lately and I needed some healing, so I fell for the place at first sight and even booked a head spa for next week before leaving, haha.

Do they do makeup for mothers of the bride and groom and wedding snaps too?

Yes! Looking around, Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch turns out to be very well known for makeup for mothers of the bride and groom (honju makeup) and wedding snap makeup!

Reviews rave about their bright yet graceful looks for brides and mothers, and after trying the daily hair and makeup I was completely won over by their skill, so I plan to come back for makeup when I take wedding snaps too ❤︎

The reaction on the day and how long it lasted

I left the salon and went to meet my boyfriend, and the moment he saw me he said, "Wow... why are you so pretty today?!" and couldn't take his eyes off me, hahaha.

He was puffed up with pride the whole time we met his friends, and his friends all said we looked great together and that I looked pretty, so I couldn't stop smiling all day >.<

The makeup from Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch stayed smooth and bright late into the night with no smudging or collapsing at all, so the staying power was perfect too! If you're looking for Yongsan makeup that's natural yet boosts your good points 200% before an important appointment or date, or want total beauty care from makeup for mothers of the bride and groom and wedding snaps to a relaxing head spa, definitely book Cheongdam Shop Sinyongsan Branch!

I strongly recommend making the best day of your life with custom hair and makeup tailored exactly to the style you want, haha.
