Scope of this comparison. This covers English-language listings available on K-Beauty Station with a published price, checked on 11 August 2026. It is not a complete list of every provider in Seoul. Ratings are venue-level.

Personal colour analysis is the one K-beauty appointment visitors book without knowing what they are actually buying. The sessions look identical from outside, and the published prices run from ₩89,000 to ₩260,000. That gap is not about the draping.

Eight sessions across seven studios in four neighbourhoods, with the price on the page. What separates them is what you walk out holding.

① What Actually Happens in a Session

A trained consultant seats you in controlled lighting, removes competing colour from your face and clothing, and drapes fabric swatches in graded tones under your chin. They are watching for two things: whether your skin looks clearer or muddier, and whether shadows under your eyes deepen or lift.

You leave with a seasonal classification, usually with a sub-type, and a palette of the shades that work on you. Sessions typically run 60 to 90 minutes.

Analysis, or makeup that uses your colours?

This is the distinction that decides whether a listing belongs on this page at all, and it is easy to miss when you are booking.

• An analysis session diagnoses your colouring and gives you a palette to take away. That is what this comparison covers.
• A makeup or hair service that references personal colour applies shades chosen to suit you, but does not necessarily run the diagnosis itself. Several listings on the platform are this second kind. They are not counted here.

If a listing does not say the analysis is performed during the appointment, ask in chat before you book. A makeup service priced near an analysis session is not the cheaper version of it; it is a different thing.

② The Eight Sessions, by Price

• Personal Color — ₩89,000 · Ohn Studio, Myeong-dong · 5.0 (196 reviews). The lowest-priced option in this comparison, and it is in the most central district.
• Personal Color Analysis — ₩119,000 · Color Holic Myeongdong Branch · 5.0 (135). A dedicated colour studio rather than a salon, in Myeong-dong.
• Personal Color Analysis — ₩150,000 · Color Signal, Garosu-gil · 5.0 (1,343). The deepest review history in this comparison by a wide margin.
• Personal Color Analysis — ₩150,000 · Color Holic, Gangnam · 5.0 (556). The Gangnam branch of the same studio group as the Myeongdong listing above, at ₩31,000 more.
• Personal Color — ₩150,000 · Mood Collect White, Seongsu · 5.0 (105).
• Personal Color — ₩150,000 · Mood Collect White, Gangnam · 4.9 (405).
• Personal Color, Makeup and Consulting — ₩150,000 · Korea Fashion Psychology Institute, Gangnam · 5.0 (419). Framed as image consulting rather than beauty. Confirm in chat which of the three components the session includes.
• Premium Package: Personal Color, Hair and Makeup, Profile Photo — ₩260,000 · Ohn Studio, Myeong-dong · 5.0 (196). Analysis, styling and a studio shoot in one booking. Same studio as the ₩89,000 entry, so you can compare the bare session against the full package directly.

How to read the ratings

The rating belongs to the venue, not to that individual session. Ohn Studio’s ₩89,000 and ₩260,000 listings both show 5.0 from 196 reviews. Review volume is the more useful signal here than the score, because almost every studio in this comparison sits at 4.9 or 5.0. Color Signal’s 1,343 reviews and Color Holic Gangnam’s 556 are doing more work than the decimal.

③ Choosing by Format and Budget

Analysis on its own — ₩89,000 to ₩150,000

Six of the eight sessions. Ohn Studio at ₩89,000 is the entry point, Color Holic Myeongdong at ₩119,000 sits between, and the ₩150,000 band holds four listings across Gangnam, Seongsu and Garosu-gil — including Color Signal, which carries the deepest review history.

Watch the branch, not just the brand. Color Holic is ₩119,000 in Myeongdong and ₩150,000 in Gangnam for what is listed as the same service, so the branch you pick changes the price by more than a quarter. Mood Collect White lists the same price at both of its branches.

Analysis as image consulting — ₩150,000

Korea Fashion Psychology Institute sits slightly outside the category, treating colour as part of a wider consultation rather than a beauty service. Worth asking what the makeup and consulting components actually involve before you book.

Full package with photos — ₩260,000

Ohn Studio’s premium package. Worth it if you want the result documented properly rather than in phone photos under salon lighting, and if a profile shoot was already on your list for this trip.

④ Choosing by District

• Myeong-dong — Ohn Studio (₩89,000 and ₩260,000), Color Holic Myeongdong (₩119,000). Both the lowest-priced and the most complete option in this comparison are here, which is unusual: for most beauty categories Myeongdong is the expensive district.
• Gangnam — Color Holic (₩150,000), Mood Collect White (₩150,000), Korea Fashion Psychology Institute (₩150,000). Three listings, all at the same price.
• Garosu-gil — Color Signal (₩150,000). One listing, and the most reviewed in this comparison.
• Seongsu — Mood Collect White (₩150,000). Pairs naturally with a café afternoon in the same district.

⑤ Getting a Useful Result

• Come with a bare face. Foundation and tinted sunscreen are exactly the variables the consultant is trying to remove. Most studios will clean your face first, which eats into your session.
• Wear or bring something neutral. A strong colour near your collar reflects onto your jaw and skews the reading.
• Book it early in the trip. The result is most useful while you still have shopping days left.
• Ask what you receive afterwards. A printed palette, a digital file, shade codes for specific products. This varies by studio and is rarely on the listing.
• Confirm the working language. The diagnosis is a conversation about subtle differences. Confirm in chat that the session can be run in your language.

⑥ Frequently Asked

How much does personal colour analysis cost in Seoul?

Among the listings in this comparison, ₩89,000 to ₩260,000. Analysis on its own runs ₩89,000 to ₩150,000; a full package with styling and a profile shoot is ₩260,000. Providers outside this platform may price differently.

How long does a session take?

Typically 60 to 90 minutes for analysis, longer for the package with styling and photography. Durations are not published on most listings, so confirm when you book.

Where should I go if I am staying in Myeongdong?

Ohn Studio at ₩89,000 for analysis alone, or ₩260,000 for the package with hair, makeup and a profile shoot. Color Holic Myeongdong Branch is ₩119,000. All three are bookable in Myeong-dong itself.

Do I need to speak Korean?

No. The site, the listings and the booking flow are published in six languages including English, and sessions are arranged through chat — confirm the working language before you commit. You also do not need a Korean phone number: the signup phone field is optional and carries a country code selector.

How do I tell an analysis session from a makeup service?

Read whether the diagnosis is performed during the appointment. Listings named for makeup or hair that mention personal colour are often applying shades chosen to suit you rather than running the analysis. If the listing does not say, ask in chat.

Is it worth it if I already know my colours?

The Korean method separates sub-types more finely than most systems used elsewhere, so people usually leave with a narrower answer than the one they arrived with. If you only want confirmation, book an analysis-only session rather than a package.

Why do two branches of the same studio charge different prices?

Branches set their own rates. Color Holic is ₩119,000 in Myeongdong and ₩150,000 in Gangnam for the same listed service, so it is worth checking both before booking.
