The first look.

A patient's first look in the mirror after hair strokes at Tune Clinic. Shared with her permission. Filmed minutes after the session; this is the immediate reaction, not the healed result.

Hair strokes or a soft powder finish.

Haïr Strokes

Individual strokes drawn by machine to suggest brow hairs, following the direction of your existing brows.

Root estimates 2 to 3 years.

Ombre or powder brows

Soft shading for a fuller, powder-like finish. Shape and depth are agreed before the appointment begins.

Root estimates 3 to 5 years.

These are Root's estimates, not guarantees. Fading varies, and pigment may remain longer.

Pricing and touch-ups.

Your final quote is confirmed after an in-person consultation, before you decide. Message Dr. Ju about pricing and touch-up fees.

Healing around your travel plans.

  • Initially brows look darker and more defined than the settled result.
  • While healing, light flaking can occur; follow the written aftercare and do not pick.
  • After settling, review colour and shape with Root before deciding on a touch-up.

Tell us your departure date before booking so aftercare and any follow-up fit your trip. Protect healing brows from direct sun and follow the written guidance on swimming and skincare.

Your appointment, step by step.

    Share your plans

  4. 4

    Plan your aftercare

    Review the written instructions and arrange follow-up before you leave.

Questions before you book.

Does it hurt? Is numbing available?

Sensitivity varies and some discomfort is normal. Numbing is available at the clinic under physician oversight; ask Dr. Ju what suits you before booking.

How long does it last? Will I need a touch-up?

Root estimates 2 to 3 years for hair strokes and 3 to 5 years for ombre. These are estimates, not guarantees. A touch-up is often reviewed at 6 to 8 weeks; ask how it fits your travel plans and whether it is charged separately.

Can I fly home afterwards? What about sun?

Usually, yes. Share your departure date before booking so timing and follow-up fit your trip. Keep healing brows out of direct sun and follow the written guidance on swimming and skincare.

Can you work over an old brow tattoo?

Send clear photos without makeup first. Existing pigment, shape and skin condition decide what is possible. Covering an old tattoo is not always the right call, so an assessment comes before any new pigment.

Can you match my skin tone and grey brow hairs?

Colour is chosen against your skin tone, your natural brow hairs and any existing pigment. Healed colour varies between people, so an exact match cannot be promised.

How do I book from abroad?

Message Dr. Ju on WhatsApp with your Seoul dates, departure date, brow photos without makeup, your preferred finish and any previous brow tattoo. Availability is confirmed by reply. Prices are quoted after the in-person consultation. No deposit.

Dr. Ju replies in English, usually within a few hours during clinic hours (KST).
