Hi everyone, I'm Suong, and I'm currently considering getting some cosmetic procedures done in Seoul. I've read a lot of great reviews and want to try it, but I'm a little worried about the language barrier 😅
Do any of you have experience with consultations there? Is speaking English enough, or do I need to learn some Korean? I'm worried that if I only speak English, I won't be able to clearly explain subtle details about my face or my specific requests.
Has anyone at Hassan had a consultation in Vietnamese in Seoul, or do they have interpreters? And if not, how do you usually prepare for a consultation before the appointment? I want to prepare thoroughly to ensure the consultation goes as smoothly as possible. Thank you! 💕

I totally get the language concern — I've been there! Honestly, bringing some photos or reference images of what you want helped me SO much during my consultation, even with the language barrier. Like, I just showed pictures on my phone and pointed to specific areas, and it made explaining way easier than trying to describe everything in broken Korean or English. Maybe also jotting down a few key words in Korean beforehand could help? Not sure about Vietnamese services specifically, but a lot of places I visited were pretty used to international clients, so don't lose hope! 💕
Hi sis, have you tried any ways to communicate with your doctor? I'm worried too, so I wanted to know if you've used Google Translate or asked someone to translate for you? 😅
Hello! I'm also worried about the language barrier 😅 Have you considered bringing a translation app or marking the parts you want to do with photos beforehand? I've heard that the staff in some places are quite cooperative!
I'm also worried about the language barrier 😅 Have you considered using a translation app or writing down your questions in Korean beforehand? I've heard that some places can help arrange translation services, but you might need to ask in advance. Have you tried contacting them directly?
I understand 😅 I was thinking the same thing and wasn't sure if I could communicate well. But I heard that having someone to translate for you or preparing explanatory documents beforehand can be very helpful. I'm determined!
I totally get the language anxiety—I'm from the US and had the same worry before my first consultation here! Honestly, bringing written notes or even pictures of what you want can help so much, and many places do have translation support or staff who speak English, so it might be worth just calling ahead to ask about Vietnamese specifically.
