I’m a local Korean(graduate student) who regularly visits aesthetic/spa/skincare/clinic spots.
I see lots of travelers and residents swapping tips here, so for the next!!
So I think it would be very helpful if I share my tips for foreigners who are seeking for the info,
I’ll share what I know — purely non-commercial!
- No ads, no affiliations, no commissions.
- Focus: non-medical beauty & wellness (aesthetic facials, scalp spas, skincare, spa/massage).
- Not medical advice; no plastic-surgery or medical clinic recs.
- Maybe, sharing medical clinics or spots info. would be not allow to Koreans.
- If this doesn’t fit the rules, happy to adjust or remove.
How to ask (leave a comment with):
- City/Neighborhood (e.g., Seoul – Gangnam)
- Service (e.g., scalp spa, facial, aromatherapy massage)
- Budget (e.g., ₩70–120k)
- Date/Time window (e.g., Sat evening)
- Other factors that you want to know
Example request:
Seoul – Gangnam | Scalp spa | ₩70–120k | Sat evening | English/Japanese translator needed.
What I’ll reply with:
- 2–3 options
- How to book –> If you need any help to make a reservation through me, I can help you!
- Watch-outs (common up-sells, deposit/refund quirks)
If this proves useful, I’ll post a compiled summary for everyone. Fire away. 🧖♀️🧖♂️
Again, If this doesn’t fit the rules, happy to adjust or remove.
