How much is a color analysis in Korea? In the four Pglemaps partner examples below, selected sessions are listed at KRW 95,000 to KRW 194,000. Packages that add body-type or broader image consulting can cost more, including a KRW 310,000 option in Gangnam. These are specific listed products, not a nationwide average or the cheapest available prices. Check the visitor count covered by the menu before treating a price as a per-person quote.
The useful question is what your payment includes. A color diagnosis, a makeup-coaching session, and a color-plus-styling package are different purchases. Matching the service to your plans matters more than choosing the smallest number on a studio card.
Here is a practical comparison of studios listed on Pglemaps, followed by a two-person cost example and a real deposit breakdown.
Compare four personal color sessions in Korea
Prices below were checked on September 30, 2026. Amounts are in Korean won (KRW). These selected partner listings are not a quality ranking, and their packages are not identical. Open the linked menu for current prices and conditions.
| Studio and location | Selected session | Listed time | Listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorjoy, Geumjeong-gu, Busan | Standard: personal color + makeup coaching | 60 minutes for one person | KRW 95,000 |
| Ashis Beauty, Dalseo-gu, Daegu | Daegu Private Personal Color | 60 minutes | KRW 120,000 |
| Baihe, Gangnam-gu, Seoul | 1:1 personal color | 60 minutes | KRW 150,000 |
| COLOR OF YOU, Mapo-gu, Seoul | Personal color, 1 person | 50 minutes | KRW 194,000 |
All four studio listings show English among their language options. That does not establish that every consultant, time slot, or package has the same language arrangements. Confirm the consultation language and any interpretation charge for the option you select.
Start with the city already in your itinerary. A lower session price in another city is not a saving if it adds an unnecessary journey.

What changes as the price changes?
Colorjoy: compare makeup coaching with a broader package
Colorjoy's Standard Program lists personal color analysis plus makeup coaching for KRW 95,000, with 60 minutes for one person. It is a useful option to examine if you will already be in Busan and want advice that connects color results with makeup choices.
The same menu lists a Premium Program with personal color, makeup coaching, and body-type consultation at KRW 130,000, with 90 minutes for one person. The difference is KRW 35,000 and an additional 30 listed minutes. Decide whether the added styling topic matters to you; do not choose it simply because it is called premium.
Makeup coaching also does not automatically mean a full makeup application. Check the selected service rather than treating the two as interchangeable.
Ashis Beauty: distinguish color analysis from color plus styling
Ashis Beauty's Daegu Private Personal Color is listed at KRW 120,000 for 60 minutes. Its separate Daegu Private Color & Bone Diagnosis package is KRW 210,000 for 120 minutes and explicitly lists a seasonal color card and perfume kit.
The higher-priced package combines color and body-type styling. It is a different scope of consultation, not proof that the lower-priced color analysis is incomplete. Nor should the card and kit listed for the combined package be assumed to come with the KRW 120,000 option.
For a Daegu visitor, the decision is whether you want color advice alone or a longer appointment that also covers styling. The private color menu asks two visitors to notify the studio in advance, but does not explicitly state the price unit. Confirm how many people the quoted amount covers before booking.
Baihe: a color appointment or a total-image appointment
Baihe's Gangnam menu separates a KRW 150,000, 60-minute 1:1 personal color session from a KRW 310,000, 120-minute 1:1 total-image session. The latter lists personal color and body-type/image consulting.
If your main question is which colors to wear, begin by reviewing the color-only option. If you also want advice about clothing shapes and your overall styling, examine the longer package's scope before paying the difference.
Do not assume a written report, physical palette, or makeup application is included unless the selected menu confirms it.
COLOR OF YOU: look at the named take-home result
COLOR OF YOU's KRW 194,000 one-person menu lists color draping, a makeup-pouch review, a lip-color test, and a makeup list, with a 50-minute session.
For someone planning cosmetics shopping, those named activities make the package easier to evaluate than a general promise to find your season. You can decide whether reviewing your current products and receiving a makeup list are worth the price to you.
This is a menu-based comparison, not a claim that we attended the sessions or that one studio produces better results.
Going with a friend: total price is not the per-person price
COLOR OF YOU provides a clear example of why the group size needs to be read with the price.
| Listed option | Package price | Cost per person | Listed session time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | KRW 194,000 | KRW 194,000 | 50 minutes |
| 2 people | KRW 366,000 | KRW 183,000, calculated as 366,000 / 2 | 80 minutes total |
The two-person option works out at KRW 11,000 less per person than the listed one-person option. However, 80 minutes is the group session time, not 80 minutes each. This is package arithmetic, not a promise of a separate discount at checkout.
Both options list draping, a makeup-pouch review, a lip-color test, and a makeup list. Before submitting a request, make sure the chosen package, actual number of visitors, and displayed total agree. Group menus are not always priced in the same way across studios.
The deposit is part of the cost, not the full cost
For the COLOR OF YOU one-person option, Pglemaps displayed this breakdown when the service was selected:
| Payment item | KRW amount shown |
|---|---|
| Total product amount | KRW 194,000 |
| Online booking deposit | KRW 25,200 |
| Remaining amount payable at the studio | KRW 168,800 |
The two payment amounts add up to KRW 194,000. The deposit is not an extra KRW 25,200 on top of that product price, and it does not mean the whole appointment costs KRW 25,200.
The English-language booking view displayed the card deposit in USD with a KRW equivalent. This table uses the displayed KRW amounts to explain the split. Check the actual charge currency, conversion, deposit, and balance shown for your own request before agreeing to payment. Do not assume every studio uses this exact deposit amount or split.
Paying the deposit does not itself confirm the appointment. Pglemaps states that the studio must approve the request, after which Pglemaps sends the confirmation email. Keep other timed plans flexible until that confirmation arrives.
Choose a package around your budget and intended result
You want color and makeup advice without adding a long appointment
If Busan is already part of your trip, Colorjoy's KRW 95,000 Standard Program is one concrete option to compare. For a Seoul-only stay, compare Seoul menus first rather than using a Busan price as your local expectation.
You want color advice in the city you are visiting
Review the scope of Ashis Beauty's KRW 120,000 private color option in Daegu or Baihe's KRW 150,000 1:1 option in Seoul. Choose by location, language, and what you want explained, not by assuming that all one-hour sessions include the same extras.
You want to use the result while shopping
Look for named activities and results, such as COLOR OF YOU's pouch review, lip-color test, and makeup list. A product list can give you something specific to consider in shops, but buying recommended products is a separate expense. Keep your consultation and shopping budgets separate.
You also want advice about clothing shape and styling
Compare the broader programs separately: Colorjoy's KRW 130,000 Premium Program, Ashis Beauty's KRW 210,000 combined package, or Baihe's KRW 310,000 total-image option. They differ in content, time, and location; they are not interchangeable versions of one standard service.
Why make the comparison on Pglemaps?
Pglemaps brings the studio's location, menu, listed price, session time, and language options into the same browsing flow. You can move from this guide to the actual service details, rather than trying to book from a price quoted without a package name.
Use it to narrow the choice in this order:
- Choose a city and neighborhood that fit your stay.
- Open the exact service, not only the studio's starting-price card.
- Match the package to your desired result and number of visitors.
- Check the consultation language, total amount, deposit, balance, and cancellation terms.
- Select your preferred date and time. Pglemaps says it rechecks availability before payment.
- Pay the displayed deposit when you are ready to send the request, then wait for studio approval and the confirmation email.
For more help with the language question, read the guide to personal color analysis in Seoul in English. The important distinction is language support during the consultation, not merely an English booking page.
Questions worth settling before you pay
Do more color seasons justify a higher price?
Not by themselves. Check the consultation process, explanation, and included results. A chart with more categories is not the same thing as a longer or more useful session. The 16-season personal color guide explains the classification question separately.
Is the cheapest listed package enough for a first visit?
It may be, if it answers your main question and you can understand the consultation. If you specifically want a makeup lesson, body-type styling, or written product recommendations, choose a menu that names those services. Do not pay for extras you do not plan to use.
Can I cancel if my travel plans change?
Read the cancellation terms displayed for your request before payment, including deadlines and no-show conditions. Do not assume a deposit is always refundable. Pglemaps also provides its cancellation and refund policy.
Find a session whose price makes sense for you
A useful comparison ends with three things clear: the total cost, the service you will receive, and how the appointment fits your trip.
Explore personal color studios on Pglemaps, open the package that matches your priorities, and review its current price and booking conditions. Request the appointment when the language, inclusions, and payment details work for you.
