• Ask whether the price is per person. One studio in a 2024 report priced its basic and advanced sessions per person.
• Ask whether the session uses fabric draping, and whether makeup or styling is included or extra.
• Many studios take bookings by Instagram, KakaoTalk or WeChat.
• Ask how you will receive your results, such as printed swatches or a file by email.

• Programs vary a lot in length and content, so compare what is included, not only the price.
• Booking site prices are starting prices. The final price can change with the program you pick.
