Frequently Asked
Ordered by what first-time PMU Gangnam clients actually ask us most.
Where is Belle Studio located?
Belle Studio is at 52 Nonhyeon-ro 30-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul — a 2-minute walk (about 140 m) from Maebong Station on Subway Line 3. That makes it one of the easiest microblading Gangnam studios to reach from Dogok, Daechi or Yangjae; Dogok Station is roughly a 16-minute walk.
Do you offer consultations in English?
Yes. We take enquiries in English via Instagram DM, WhatsApp, LINE and KakaoTalk. Our head artist has run branches in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia and has worked with clients across many nationalities and skin tones, so international microblading Gangnam consultations are routine for us. Japanese-speaking guests often search "アートメイク" to find us, and we take those enquiries just as readily in English.
How long does semi-permanent makeup last?
Typically one to three years, though it varies a lot with skin type, pigment metabolism, UV exposure and skincare. Oily skin tends to fade faster, and frequent use of acids (AHA/BHA) or retinol over the treated area will shorten how long your microblading Gangnam result holds.
When should I come back for a retouch?
After peeling and colour settling are complete — usually 4 to 8 weeks after the first session. The shade you see immediately post-procedure is not the final one, so we assess the healed result before adjusting depth and shape. We confirm your exact timing based on how you heal.
What is the aftercare like?
The single most important rule is not to rub the area or pick the scabs until peeling finishes — usually 5 to 7 days. Avoid saunas, pools and heavy sweating during that window, and apply the ointment we give you in a thin layer. Picking scabs pulls pigment out unevenly and leaves patchy areas.
My lips are dark — can they be lightened?
Yes, but not in a single session. Lips carrying strong brown, purple or grey pigment are first brought to a neutral base with a corrective shade; we then move toward your target colour in stages once we can see the healed result. Dark lip neutralization is one of our head artist's main casework areas.
How do I book?
We work by appointment only. Reach us on Instagram DM (@b.elle_studio), KakaoTalk channel, LINE, WhatsApp or Naver booking — whichever is easiest. You can also call +82-10-9629-2581. Telling us the service and your preferred dates up front speeds the consultation up.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday 10:30–20:00, Saturday and Sunday 12:00–20:00. Sessions run long, so slots close to closing time may not be possible — when you book your microblading Gangnam appointment, share a couple of workable time windows and we will find one that fits.
Pricing depends on the treatment area and any existing pigment we need to work over, so we quote after consultation. Send the service you want plus a photo of your current state and we can be far more precise.
