|
|
In a country obsessed with physical appearances, why is it so difficult to find a good beautician!
I went to a new 'beauty clinic' in Amsa, and I had to tell the girls there how to use wax. I understand girls here don't have hair, don't wax, but if you can't do it, don't advertise you do! And charge a premium, no less.
Spent all of Saturday trying to find this 'Dashing Diva' spot at COEX, and could not find it.
Girls. Help! |

In the Daechi-dong area South of Seolleung Station every other place of business is a beautician! They need so many to service the hundreds of room salon and bar-girls who work there.
Dashing Diva is a big, bright pink place near the Levi's store which is near that foodcourt with the big pyramid feature.
I never though I would hear a complaint about a lack of beauticians in Seoul!!! Oh, I see....you mean a good one. They won't know what to do if you're asking for something which Korean girls don't do. |

They shouldn't advertise it if they can't perform it.
Thanks for the tip, eamo! |

Is Dashing Diva still there? I saw the Levis store... I must have walked around the mall for hours...
Found this directory online, and it's not listed...

Dashing Diva has left the building. The one in Coex is gone. I don't know about the one across from Costco.

Hi Kumara
Appreciate the rec, but these guys are always booked out. I should call earlier than a day ahead, admittedly.  |

Kumara,
Have you ever gone to them for a massage? If so, how was it? I'm specifically concerned with privacy and more of a western-style touch ( Korean style massages are too rough for me.)
Thanks.. |
