Hi everyone! I'm Tuuvee, a Mongolian woman, and I'm planning to get beauty services soon. But there's one thing that's really bothering me — how well does the language work during the consultation? I can speak a little English, but explaining professional beauty terminology and detailed concerns might be difficult.
Is there a consultant or translator available who speaks Mongolian? Or will English be reliable enough? To be honest, I'm a bit worried. Koreans are very smart, but I think Mongolian would really help me understand the fine details better.
If there are people with experience in this, I'd like to hear what went well? What language did you use? Since this question is really important, I'd appreciate your help! Thank you!

Hi! I wanted to ask—have you thought about bringing an English-speaking friend along to your consultation? I've heard that a lot of clinics actually have staff who speak pretty good English, so it might be easier to communicate than you'd expect. That said, if you're still worried about it, having someone there with you would definitely put your mind at ease. Have you decided on which place you want to go to yet?
I totally understand your concerns! I also had a consultation in Seoul with far from perfect English, but the consultants are usually very patient and use images and diagrams to explain things in detail. I'd recommend writing down the important English or Mongolian keywords beforehand and bringing them along for reference, or reaching out in advance to ask them to arrange an interpreter — many places do offer language support!
Hey Tuva! I'm curious—when you had your consultation, did they have interpreter services or a translation app to help? I'm worried about the same thing because my Korean is still pretty basic.
I totally understand your concern! I'm also a foreigner, so I have similar worries about communication. From my experience, many places in Seoul have staff or interpreters who speak English, but if you're still worried, you could call ahead to ask if they support Mongolian, or you could prepare some key vocabulary in English beforehand to make things easier.
