Where can a gal get herself a Brazilian wax treatment in Seoul from a qualified cosmetologist? I've called some dermatologist's offices and some beauty salons to no avail.

PS: I am posting this messages on the Q and A forum with the sincere hope that people here will reply with direct information, as opposed to leering, snickering men making smartass comments and unfunny jokes.

Is a Brazillian wax where ALL of it is taking off?

Thanks for asking this. I've been wondering myself.

My this board really has calmed down. I remember a post around a year ago where a girl asked about a kind of birth control and somehow it ended with several guys asking to see her boobs. Laughing

Proof that the Q and A forum is a good idea!

Does anyone know a decent place (i.e. I don't have to walk down some dark alley way) where I can get waxing done (not just bikini, but other parts like legs and underarms too) in the Bundang area? If no one knows of any, I guess I'm willing to go to downtown Seoul.

Also, what's the approximate price of getting any of these done?? THANKS ladies!!

Anywhere you can buy the wax for the Do-It-Yourselfers?

I don't know about Bundang, but at Pro nails the costs are pretty low, 20,000 for a bikini wax. The turtle place, above burger king in Itaewon does waxing too, but they're more expensive.

I've been here for less than a month, and I'm not familiar with the area yet. Where can I find a Pro Nails (closest subway station)? Also, do the staff understand enough English to understand...say for example that I don't want a full bikini wax, just a wax along my bikini line?? Shocked

Thanks!!

Pro Nails is near Itaewon Station in Seoul. When you come out of the station, you'll see the Hamilton Hotel, and the attached shopping "mall" with a KFC at the front of it. Walk up the lane next to the KFC, and turn right.
Pass the Hamilton Hotel, and Pro Nails is in a building on your right. It's on the 3rd floor, above an Indian restaurant called Chakraa. ( it's worth exploring that street, some decent pubs, restaurants and a good imported food shop there)

Most of the girls speak good English at Pro Nails, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. It's pretty busy there on Saturday afternoons though- lots of military women
