No.12About

What is Korean beauty?

Korean beauty (K-beauty) is Korea's beauty culture, covering skincare and makeup as well as Korean-style baths and massage. Travelers can experience it in a short time at hanjeungmak and jjimjilbang, spas, foot reflexology shops, facial salons, hair and nail salons and K-beauty cosmetics stores. In Seoul, Myeongdong has hanjeungmak and massage shops, while Gangnam and Cheongdam have facial and hair and makeup salons; in Incheon, you can visit spas near the airport and in Songdo. Trippose introduces beauty spots in Korea by type of treatment. Some places accept foreigner-only coupons.

Korean beauty for first-timers: how to choose

Korean beauty experiences range from Korean-style baths such as hanjeungmak and jjimjilbang to foot reflexology and full-body massage, facials, hair and nails, and shopping for K-beauty cosmetics. Some hanjeungmak in Myeongdong and elsewhere also offer body scrubs.

Prices depend on the course and its length. Check the course details and prices on each shop's page before you choose. At shops that accept foreigner-only coupons, just show the screen at the shop to get a discount or perk (Korea Coupon).

Whether you need a reservation depends on the shop. For shops you can book on the site, you'll get a confirmation email after you apply. Dermatology and aesthetic clinics are medical facilities, so confirm treatment details and precautions with the clinic.
