A Closer Look at the Experience

Location and Atmosphere

Located on the 3rd floor of a stylish building in Hongdae, Be U’s studio is bright, inviting, and professional without feeling sterile. The space clearly prioritizes comfort, with a clean, modern vibe that makes guests feel at ease—important when discussing personal features and style preferences.

The Itinerary Breakdown

The session kicks off with a preliminary inquiry: this involves a questionnaire and a quick chat about your preferences, setting the stage for a personalized diagnosis. This initial step ensures that the analysis aligns with your lifestyle, clothing tastes, and beauty goals.

Next, the seasonal type diagnosis is where the magic begins. The team assesses three key elements—skin, eye, and hair colors—using both visual examination and fabric draping. They utilize a patented KCI 12-season color fabric system and 212 color fabric to identify your best tones and contrast levels. This step is highly visual and engaging, and reviewers note that the consultants are attentive, guiding you through the process with patience. One traveler mentioned that they appreciated the “draping with brightness & 12-season system color fabric,” which made the diagnosis both accurate and interactive.

The solution proposal follows, offering tailored suggestions including makeup styles, product recommendations, and styling advice. For the “Total Program,” this includes detailed guidance on clothing, accessories, hair color, patterns, and even perfume—showing how comprehensive the service can be. Reviewers rave about the personalized recommendations, with one noting that the consultant was “very friendly” and that the entire process was “very detailed.”

The Results and Benefits

After the diagnosis, you’ll receive a PDF report—either 7 pages for the Simple version or 12 pages for the Total. These reports include your optimal color spectrum, best and worst types, and practical tips for shopping and styling. Many reviews mention how handy the PDFs are; one traveler said it was “very convenient to use while shopping,” highlighting the ongoing value of this part of the experience.
