The nail technician is very skilled, and the location in Hongdae is very convenient. I've been here several times already and I really like the technician's skills and designs.
When we gathered in the morning, Coach Kim gave out hand warmers first, which was really thoughtful; I felt cared for from the start. Although Coach Kim is Korean, he speaks excellent Chinese and explains things very clearly. He reminds us of many details, which makes us feel very at ease. I'm actually not very athletic, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to learn, but with his guidance and encouragement, I gradually got the hang of it and finally successfully skied down the beginner slope. That moment was truly fulfilling. The photos and videos were also more professional than I expected, leaving many memorable moments. The pick-up and drop-off from Seoul was convenient, the car was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was well-organized, so even first-time skiers can participate with confidence.
The Gangnam store is on the fourth floor of a building, so it was a little hard to find, but once I got there, the staff were quick and polite, so I was able to shop with peace of mind. I was surprised that the prices were lower than the New Year's sale in Japan. Make the most of this event! I highly recommend it.
Transportation from Seoul is very convenient; it only takes 1.5 hours to reach the ski resort without any hassle of transfers. Guides assist with equipment rentals, making the process very smooth. The instructors are very patient, explaining everything from putting on the skis and proper stance to how to avoid falling – crucial for beginners. The indoor rest area is a big plus. The scenery at the ski resort is also beautiful; taking the chairlift up offers panoramic views of the entire snowscape, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. It's perfect for first-time snowboarders or those looking for a relaxed skiing experience. I'd definitely participate again next winter! 👍
For first-time ID photo shoots in Korea, you can add a makeup and hair package. They'll create an eye makeup look I never imagined! While they were doing it, I felt the makeup was a bit heavy, but it looked just right in the photo! There's also a Taiwanese lady at the counter who acts as a nanny, helping with translation. Any questions can be raised and adjustments made immediately. The retouched photo didn't look too different at all. Overall, a great experience! 🥹
The instructions are clear, so even those who don't understand Korean can complete the task smoothly. There are plenty of materials to choose from, allowing you to select materials to your liking, making it perfect for couples to create a unique finished product.
