Hello everyone! I'm Wanting from Taiwan 🇹🇼 and I'm planning a beauty trip to Seoul. I have a few questions for you all~
I've heard that Gangnam and Apgujeong have a high concentration of beauty clinics, but honestly, I'm not very familiar with the geography there. Has anyone spent time in these areas? What did you think? Besides the treatments, are there good places to shop and eat nearby? I'd love to do some shopping too, haha.
Most importantly, where would you recommend staying? I'm wondering if it's more convenient to stay near the clinics, or in a livelier area like Hongdae or Myeongdong and take the subway? (I know the Seoul subway is very efficient, but I'm not sure which option would be more comfortable.) Does anyone have experience to share?
This is my first time planning a beauty trip alone, so I'm a little nervous but also very excited! I'm looking for advice from experienced travelers 💕
Didn't find the answer you needed?
Ask it yourself and people who've been there will answer. We'll let you know when a reply arrives.
Ask your own questionNot sure which clinic to choose?

Wow, you're from Taiwan! I'm also nervous about my first beauty trip. I have a question: Wanting, how much rest time are you planning for after your cosmetic procedures? I was thinking that depending on your schedule, the way you choose your accommodation might change too 🤔
Hi Wanting! I totally understand the nervousness, I felt the same way the first time too 😊 From what I've heard, that area is great for shopping and has plenty of dining options as well. I'm curious, how long are you planning to stay? Because that might influence your accommodation choice, especially with Seoul's convenient public transportation!
