Hi,

I have decided to buy an epilator which will pay for itself in 2-3 uses rather than spending lots on waxing everymonth.
Please suggest some good brands of epilators which are optimum priced. Mention the price too.
WHich would be the best place to buy them in Seoul apart from online?

The prices are good online. However, when the time came for me to replace the one I brought with me to Korea, I was surprized to find they are quite a bit more expensive here. I paid 80k for one at HOMEPLUS. They only stocked one brand so I bought it. The brand popular in Korea is EMJOI, but I find that the way the blade is curved it sucks your skin in unless you are very careful and it is quite painful when it happens - and it leaves a hicky mark. I have had good experiences with BRAUN SILK and REMINGTON. I will replacing my present model with one of these again in the near future.

Whichever one you choose, just try to ensure that it does not have a curved blade (the type that dips lower in the middle) - straight across even, is the best.
