💡 Essential K-Beauty Tips for Travelers

 

Reservations: Most premium salons are 100% reservation-based. Booking via Google Maps or DM is mandatory.

 

Communication: Even if stylists speak English, bringing 2-3 reference photos of the style you want is the best way to get perfect results.

 

Tax Refund: Don't forget to ask for a "Tax Free" receipt! Many large salons offer tax refunds for foreigners on-site.
