Gạo Nâu Personal Makeup (GNPM) trains personal makeup for working professionals in Districts 10, 3, 5, and Tân Bình . Group Course 6:2 5,350,000 VND (5 sessions) or Masterclass 1:1 19,800,000 VND . Studio at 436A/71 Đường 3/2, Hòa Hưng Ward
Why pick the District 10 studio
Alley 436A is wide, with a dedicated student motorbike area right inside the studio compound. The alley has cameras and security, so evening students feel safer than parking on the street outside Đường 3/2.
Central District 10 location, well-connected from Districts 1, 3, 5, 11, Tân Bình, and Phú Nhuận. Just 800m from Vincom Plaza 3/2 — students often combine class with shopping or coffee.
Max 6 seats per room plus a private 1:1 room. Natural light through the skylight + professional makeup ring lights. Personal mirror per student. Fans + AC keep the room cool in Saigon weather.
Core HCMC-based instructors work out of the District 10 studio. Regular weekly start dates with backup instructors so we never cancel for staff reasons.
Close to UMP HCMC, Saigon University, and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (same district), plus the District 5 healthcare cluster (Chợ Rẫy Hospital ~1.5km) — great for pharmacists, nurses, students, lecturers, and grad researchers studying makeup between shifts and classes.
The studio opens 9:00 — 18:00 daily, plus Tue/Thu evening classes until 21:00 and Sunday morning 9:00 — 12:00. Great for District 1/3 office workers heading to District 10 after work, or District 10 residents studying on weekends.
Instructors
Full-time instructors at this studio. Specific instructor assignments per class are confirmed during the sales consultation.
Nhựt Anh leads Masterclass 1:1 sessions and the Tue/Thu evening classes at the District 10 studio. She authored GNPM's express-course curriculum and has years of experience with healthcare students and pharmacists — well-versed in their rotating shift patterns.
Kelvin Lee runs the Western/Thai and Douyin layouts at the District 10 studio, often teaching Sunday morning classes for younger students and university students. With an international background, he's a great match for clients wanting bolder makeup and strong social-media looks — especially for creatives, marketers, and KOLs.
Mỹ Phượng is GNPM's Personal Color expert and regularly at the District 10 studio for Personal Color 16 Seasons analyses. HCMC students book her individually for precise skin-color readings, especially clients living in Districts 10, 5, and Phú Nhuận due to the proximity.
Student stories
A few examples of healthcare professionals in the Hòa Hưng area, District 1/3 office workers traveling over, and students from Saigon University / UMP HCMC choosing the District 10 studio.
Thanh Hằng, 32
Pharmacist at a pharmacy in District 10
“I work pharmacy shifts that rotate, so I couldn't commit to fixed Tue/Thu evenings. I signed up for Masterclass 1:1 at the District 10 studio because it's only 5 minutes from work. My instructor lets me reschedule sliding times with 24 hours' notice. After the course I learned I'm True Winter — cool reds and black suit me best.”
Phương Thảo, 27
Marketing executive in District 1
“My office is in Bến Thành. I leave at 18:00 and arrive at District 10 right in time for the 18:30 class. Grab is around 40K VND, or by motorbike up CMT8 → Đường 3/2 it's 18-20 minutes. The Group 6:2 class has just 6 students so the instructor coaches very closely — each session I focus on 2 steps and only move on when they look right.”
Minh Nhung, 22
Final-year student living in Hòa Hưng
“I rent a place near Saigon University, just a 10-minute walk to the 436A/71 studio. I joined the Sunday morning class — studying in the morning and reviewing notes in the afternoon. I split the 5,350,000 VND tuition into 4 installments. After the course I do my own makeup for internships and interviews — way more confident than asking the spa to do it for me.”

Fastest route: Cách Mạng Tháng 8 → Đường 3/2 → turn into alley 436A. Grab/Be costs about 35-50K VND off-peak. We recommend evening classes after 18:30 to avoid the CMT8 — Đường 3/2 congestion.
