Station in Mapo, Seoul. After a consultation with the owner, a writer diagnosed as a Winter Bright cool tone got warm-tone shaded semi-smoky makeup and a messy bun (ttongmeori), and the visit took about 1 hour 30 minutes including the wait. Moi Hair Makeup showed that someone who has only ever worn cool-tone colors can find a fresh new look with a warm-tone palette. ## Good to know - **Address**: B06, B1F, Hyosung Hongik Ingan, 183 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 5:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. - **Services received**: Brow tidying and base makeup, shaded semi-smoky makeup by the owner, messy bun (ttongmeori) hair styling - **Extra cost**: ₩22,000 extra for an updo with the hair pulled up and tied - **Time taken**: Makeup about 40 min, wait about 20 min, hair about 30 min; about 1 hour 30 min in total - **Space**: Separate makeup and hair areas on the same floor, plus a private makeup room - **Price reference**: ₩22,000 ≈ $16.5 (2026-10-18) *as written by the visitor on Jun 26, 2026* ![Main photo of the visit to Moi Hair Makeup in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-01-x3czc-900.webp) ## Who goes to Moi Hair Makeup in Hongdae? Moi Hair Makeup is a hair and makeup salon I found while looking for somewhere in Hongdae to get makeup for an important event, a profile shoot or an interview. I had an important schedule and a shoot coming up, so I came for hair styling and makeup. I heard lots of people visit before flight attendant interviews, announcer interviews or profile shoots. And above all, it's already famous as a great-value makeup salon in Hongdae..! ![Inside Moi Hair Makeup in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-02-1xpjt-900.webp) ![Makeup area at Moi Hair Makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-03-32n5o-900.webp) ![Separate hair area at Moi Hair Makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-04-1004l-m-900.webp) ## The space and the order of the session at Moi Hair Makeup Moi Hair Makeup is all on one floor, but the makeup area and the hair area are separate. You get makeup first and then move to the hair room, and having the spaces divided actually felt more professional. - Address: B06, B1F, Hyosung Hongik Ingan, 183 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - Hours: Daily 5:00-18:00 ![Brow shaping and base makeup step at Moi Hair Makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-05-1btn0-1200.webp) ### Brow shaping and base by a staff member First, brow shaping and base makeup were done by another staff member. They neatly shaped my brows to suit my face and did the base carefully so the skin looked natural, so I was happy from the start. ![Makeup in the private makeup room at Moi Hair Makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-06-1huq6-900.webp) ### About 40 minutes of makeup with the owner in a private room After that I moved to a private makeup room and had my makeup done by the owner herself. It was a quiet space, so I could consult comfortably and explain the style I wanted in detail. The makeup took about 40 minutes, and since everything was done so delicately, the time flew by. ![Shaded semi-smoky makeup after the owner's session](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-07-1wowe-900.webp) ![Finished warm-tone shaded semi-smoky makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-08-jqddi-900.webp) ## Can a Winter Bright cool tone pull off warm-tone shaded makeup? This time the makeup was shaded with a semi-smoky feel. It wasn't too heavy or overwhelming, though; she finished it as natural warm-tone makeup I could easily wear day to day. ![Natural everyday warm-tone makeup result](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-09-skric-m-900.webp) Honestly, my personal color diagnosis came out as Winter Bright cool tone. So I usually only wore cool-tone makeup, but this time I wanted to try warm tones too, and went ahead after talking it over with the owner. ![Warm-tone makeup on a winter cool tone](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-10-1p4m4-900.webp) ![Finished shaded makeup with a warm color combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-11-7y31g-900.webp) Even with warm colors, my face didn't look heavy; the mood actually looked much softer and more polished. Personal color matters, but how you combine the colors matters even more, I realized. It was amazing that this could suit me so well, and it felt like discovering a new style, haha ![After makeup, before hair styling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-12-17mz5-900.webp) ## Messy bun styling: extra cost and how long it takes After the makeup at Moi Hair Makeup, I waited about 20 minutes and then had my hair styled. ![Styling step in the hair room at Moi Hair Makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-13-1972y-m-900.webp) ![Messy bun updo styling in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun-14-yg1ih-900.webp) They explained in advance that the ttongmeori (messy bun), where the hair is pulled up and tied, costs an extra ₩22,000. I wanted a neat bun, so I showed a photo and asked for it, and since they told me up front, it was easy to decide. The hair styling took about 30 minutes. It came out almost exactly like the photo I brought, which I was really happy with. The flyaways looked natural and the overall volume was lovely, a polished style that's hard to make by yourself. From makeup to hair, including the wait, everything took about 1 hour 30 minutes. It didn't take as long as I expected and the process ran smoothly, so it was comfortable. ## Who would I recommend Moi Hair Makeup to? What I liked most at Moi Hair Makeup was that they didn't just make me look pretty; they fully reflected the mood I wanted. I'd recommend it especially to people for whom a neat image matters, like flight attendant or announcer interviews, and also to anyone who wants hair and makeup together before a profile shoot or an important appointment. Even I, who always insisted on cool-tone makeup, found a new mood by trying warm tones this time, which made it an even more satisfying experience, haha If you want natural, polished makeup and hair styling before an important day, Moi Hair Makeup is worth a visit! ## Where it is - Moi Hair Makeup (모이헤어메이크업) - B06, B1F, Hyosung Hongik Ingan, 183 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로 183 효성홍익인간 지하1층 b06호 - 37.5584131, 126.9251864 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EC%9D%B4%ED%97%A4%EC%96%B4%EB%A9%94%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%AC%EC%97%85/@37.5584131,126.9251864,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@where-coffee-brews/hongdae-warm-tone-shadow-makeup-bun/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
