Before you book
The questions we field most often about location, booking, the procedures and aftercare.
Where are you and how do I get there?
213-2, 2F, 15 Gangnam-daero 84-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is about 250 m from Gangnam Station (Line 2 and the Shinbundang Line) — a four-minute walk. The lot address, which some navigation apps prefer, is 825-24 Yeoksam-dong, 2F.
How do I book?
By appointment only. Message us on Instagram DM (@make_by__), our KakaoTalk channel, LINE, or call +82-10-8745-2331. Send a straight-on photo of your current brows plus a reference of the look you want, and we will confirm what is possible and how many sessions it needs.
What are your opening hours?
Tuesday to Friday 10:00–20:00 and Saturday 09:00–17:00. Closed Sunday and Monday. The 8 p.m. weekday close means a permanent makeup korea appointment after work is realistic.
What is the difference between natural brows and a combo brow?
Natural brows are microblading: hair strokes placed one at a time so the result reads as brow you already had. A powder or mist brow is shading — overlapping fine dots that build a gradient, which reads as lightly made up. The MAKE BY combo brow layers that soft Korean powder-brow shading over the strokes. Which one suits you depends on your brow density and skin type, and is decided at consultation.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the residual pigment, the number of sessions and the area treated, so we quote at consultation. Corrections in particular need the existing colour seen in person before a number is meaningful — sending a photo of your current brows first is the quickest route to an answer.
Can you correct eyebrow tattooing done elsewhere?
In most cases, yes. Whether we cover it or lift it first depends on how red or blue the old pigment has turned and how deep the previous work went. A photo is not always enough to judge, so the session count is confirmed once we see it in person.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes — a large share of guests come from abroad. This site is available in Korean, English and Traditional Chinese, and you can reach us on Instagram DM, LINE or WhatsApp. Video and photos of actual international clients are on this page.
How do I look after it afterwards?
Colour looks darker right after the appointment and softens as it heals. Keeping the area away from water and friction while it scabs matters most; the full aftercare list is given to you in person at the end of the session. Permanent makeup fades by design, so a regular touch-up keeps the original line.
Do you teach the technique?
Yes. MAKE BY Academy runs BROW CLASS, and from 7–10 November 2026 the NANO III LIPS advanced master class runs in Gangnam-gu, Seoul with Vietnamese grand master Tu Ngoc Nguyen. Ask on Instagram DM for details.
Start by telling us the brow you want
Message on Instagram DM, KakaoTalk, LINE or by phone — whichever is easiest. Send a photo of your brows as they are now together with the look you want, and we can tell you what is possible and how many sessions it takes.
