Is there any place in Seoul to get this done?

[Mysteriousapien]

There is a woman in Itaewon that does it at her home. I 've never been to her but my friend would go to her but it cost alot in my opinion just for eyebrows...I think it was around 16,000 won. I can ask her more about it later if you want me to

I PMed that poster and never heard from her. If you find out any info, please let me know

At this rate, I might have to brave myself to ask the Indian proprietors of restaurants or the foreign food market what the Indian ladies do.

At least, being non-Koreans, they'll still be in Itaewon during Chuseok!

Hm, now there's an idea. I got mine done in Singapore, and am trying to keep the shape, but just learned that i'll be going home to Peru in the winter for a month, so I can get them done there.

Hello,

I get it done at a sauna not far from me. It's called shil-myeon-doe. Pop in and ask if there is a shil-myeon-doe ajumma/un-ni at the counter or if you frequent one, she has a mat and lamp on the floor. Or ask a co-t at school who does it in the area. Big saunas will almost always have one I've found.

She'll do the whole face and like any grooming professional I've met, it takes a couple of visits to get it done the way you want. I took a friend the first time to make sure I came out with eyebrows left. I find the method harsher on my skin than home but I have very sensitive skin. I use tea-tree oil immediately after to avoid a breakout.

No, it's not the same as home in my opinion but it's good enough for me and it saves me the trek into Itaewon. I don't use the facilities and I don't change my clothes. I just go in, get it done and go. It costs 5,000 for the threading and the lady at the counter charges me 5,000 to go in.

Tell her you just want to try it and you'll do your whole face next time. Or try another sauna. Ask around for saunas that do it.

The woman I use thinks I'm strange for only doing my brows but she does them.

Good luck!

I gave up and went on youtube and figured out how to do it myself. takes a bit of practice, but I can do it now.

[Cerulean]

Great idea! I think I'll give that a try.
Thanks for sharing.
