Girls, where can I find a salon that will do waxing, pedi and facial in Seoul? Especially waxing?

Try the beauty salon over Burger King in Itaewon. They do just about everything!

Yeah, you can get a great massage for about 30,000 w there to. It's 'The Green Turtle.'

I love turtles. Very Happy

Cheers,

I was about to ask the same thing...

Do Korean beauty salons do waxing, or is it just in Itaewon where all us 'hairy' foreigner women are? And do they just do, say legs, or do they do eyebrow, bikini, etc.

I bought clinique from Lotte Dept store. It was pretty expensive though, so not sure if there is anywhere cheaper. But I imagine a big name, flash dept store will sell it, since it is such a popular brand.

Starperson,
I think the smaller towns do waxing too. I'm just in Seoul more often these days, but try calling 13-30 and ask for info in your particular town, that's what I did, the people were very helpful. I'm not sure about bikini but legs , lips and eyebrows sem to be okay.

i found a clinique counter in a department store is downtown daegu. it is more expensive than home. for example things that are 25$CAD at home are ~32 000w. take into account the exchange rate, and it's quite a bit more actually. i'm still going to buy it though Confused

There is this place in Chong no in Seoul- right beside Subway's called Vivi. (Just down the street from the Millenium Plaza) They do waxing, facials, manicures and pedicures. Eyebrows cost 20 000 Won- a little pricey. I'm not sure about legs and bikini though. I'm sure they can do it also though.

Clinque- Most of the big department stores have the nearly full line. Say department in Daejeon has it, the Express Bus terminal's department store has it also.

It is a little expensive, these days I try to stock up at the airport. Incheon has a good selection, and the prices are better because the USD is not as high as it used to be.

Also-

I used to get aloe massages once a week but I moved and the shop changed owners but it was really cheap 5000 - anyone in Daejeon know of an Aloe massage place here?

Thanks,

Chonbuk
