You're welcome, hope it works out well. Maybe post the price and details here after let others know?

The Green Turtle also does western style pedicures with your feet in the tub, but I found that its a bit expensive...like 35, which I used to get it done in the states for 25.

Oh Seoul ladies, how I envy you.

Does anyone have recommendations on waxing and/or nail care in Busan? They charge me out the rear for mani/pedis at most of the places I go to. One place I honestly should have just walked out, but I had just gotten paid and was in a rush. They charged me 80,000 for a manicure and toenail painting - didn't even put my feet in the bath!!! >:[

Yes, Michael still does hair at Green Turtle. He gave me a cut 2 weeks ago.

Hey Guys (but mainly girls) My girlfriend is looking for somewhere in Changwon for a Brazilian (either wax or thread) could anyone give any recommendations? She will travel up to Busan if that is the only option.

Green Turtle did a great job of waxing my back/shoulders/upper arms for 50K...would it be rude to ask them to wax my ass as well? I'm a guy.

I went to Spa Day in Hannam-dong after scouring around on the internet and comparing opinions.

While they do offer Brazilian waxes for 80,000 won, the girl who did mine, Aram, had to wax like 20 times! And then she tweezed sooo much. It was so painful. It took almost 45 minutes, and they didn't use a sanitary panty. I laid there naked, which I personally don't mind, but then when she was waxing and tweezing me, she kept touching my labia and, well, all the other parts down there.

After about 45 minutes, all she was doing was tweezing, and I finally said to her, "Is the actual waxing part done? Is it ok if we just stop then?"

I mean, if you absolutely want to turn it on for him (or her), then, sure, go, but I don't think I'm going back there. A friend of mine recommended The Green Turtle in Itaewon, but I personally haven't been there yet, so I don't know.

Spa Day is near the entrance of UN Village in Hannam-dong on the 2nd floor of a building called Liberty House. 02-793-0777

I just went to Green Turtle in Itaewon for legs and a bikini wax yesterday. They gave me the silly panties everyone seems interested in, the wax as quick and as painless as I imagine it can be, the woman was kind and funny and it wasn't too expensive. Full leg was 70000 won, Brazilian was 70 also, though I didn't get it, and bikini was 30. Their prices went up a little bit last month apparently, but I still thought it was pretty reasonable. Even on a busy Saturday, I walked in without an appointment and they got to me quickly.

I just had a great, quick and very well done Brazilian here in Bucheon. www.lovelywaxing.com is the site, they are behind Hyundai Department store. Peaceful, clean, great smelling little officetel. Very dimly lit and private, no silly panties and minimal tweezing. They charge 70,000won if you buy a set of 5 times or 100,000won for a one-off. I liked it much better than both Green Turtle and Spa Day.
