Hey everyone! It's Linh, and I'm planning a trip to Seoul next month to try out some beauty services. I've heard Gangnam and Apgujeong are popular spots for this kind of specialization, but I'm not entirely sure. Has anyone been there, or do any of your foreign friends try it? I want to know if these areas are really as crowded as I've heard, and if it's worth staying there for a while.

Also, I'm thinking about where to stay. I want to be close to these locations so I don't have to travel too far, but I don't want to spend too much. I've heard there are some nearby areas that are less expensive but still easy to get to. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched online but it's a bit confusing because there's so much information.

Thanks in advance! I'm very excited but also a little nervous because it's my first time traveling alone 😅
