Korean Microblading FAQ in Busan Seomyeon: Booking, Pain, Downtime and More

Send the treatment you want, your preferred dates and times, any previous semi-permanent makeup, a photo of your current brows (or the area to be treated) and reference images to WhatsApp, Instagram (@moda_brow.u), KakaoTalk or LINE. We reply with availability and confirm. See how to book.

With only 4 clients a day, message us as soon as your travel dates are set. Short-notice requests are fine if a slot is free.

Everyone feels it differently. Topical numbing cream is commonly used for brow tattoos; please ask us how we handle it when you book.

Typically brows look darker for the first few days, then flake lightly and settle over a few weeks. Fresh colour is not the healed colour, and healing varies. Avoid booking right before an important photo shoot, trip or event. See downtime.

Not really. Don't scratch or pick flakes, keep your hands clean and off the area, avoid sauna, pools and heavy sweating early on, and keep harsh cosmetics and exfoliants away. Detailed care follows the written aftercare sheet given at the studio. If pain or swelling gets worse, or you notice heat or pus, see a doctor promptly. See aftercare.

Keep makeup off the brow area until flaking has finished. The rest of your face is usually fine as long as products stay off your brows.

A second session to refine lighter areas is common once the skin has settled. Whether you need one, and the terms, are confirmed when you book and from healed photos. See touch-up.

You can message us in English, and we agree how we will communicate on the day before your visit. For Japanese-speaking clients, a Japanese interpreter is on site for all treatments.

Cash or card. Whether a deposit is needed is confirmed when you book.

Any reference brow photos saved on your phone. If you have had semi-permanent makeup or a tattoo before, send photos before you book; red or blue residue needs extra consultation and may limit the design. Avoid heavy drinking and skin irritation in the days before. We tell you whether to come with or without brow makeup when you book.

Please tell us before booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a bleeding disorder, take certain medication, have had a recent skin procedure, have a wound, inflammation or skin condition in the area, or have reacted to pigment or numbing products. Treatment may not be suitable, and you may need to check with your doctor.

Yes, men are welcome. Because the shape is designed from your bone structure and brow movement, we can aim for a natural, understated brow.

Combo brows combine the two main techniques: fine hair strokes, usually at the front, with soft powder shading through the middle and tail. They suit people who want texture up close and a little more definition from a distance. See combo brows.

As a guide, brows take about 1 hour, lips about 1.5–2 hours, hairline about 1–1.5 hours and a lash lift about 30–40 minutes. Consultation and the mirror design check can change this a little.

Yes. Hairline tattoo adds fine strokes along the hairline to soften gaps and uneven edges. Send a photo of your current hairline and we will give you an idea before your visit. See hairline tattoo.

Yes. MODA BROW Head Spa is a scalp care programme tailored to your scalp and hair condition, combined with time to relax. A Japanese therapist is on site for the head spa, and a Japanese interpreter is on site for every treatment. See head spa for programmes and prices.

Take Seomyeon Station Exit 2 or Jeonpo Station Exit 7; it is about a 5-minute walk. The studio is on the block just south of The State Seomyeon Harrington Tower. See location.
