This was such a special experience! The "teachers" were so patient and tried their best with meeting our very very limited Korean skills. Even though we only speak English, we got through the process and made the best souvenirs and memory! They gave us a clear explanation of add on prices too! My husband and I ended up spending about 138,000 KRW (~ $105 USD) for 2 fully customized (Including diamond and birth stone AND engraving) Highly suggest!

The transportation is very convenient. Take the escalator from Exit 2 of Gongdeok Station to the hotel B1. You can take AREX directly to the airport without changing trains. The hotel is also very comfortable. There are kettles and refrigerators in the rooms, and ice machines and microwaves in the public areas of the corridors. The whole day is very good and I will come again if I have the chance.

Booked a K-Cut at Ye-Lead Hair Salon through Klook and got an appointment right away. It’s super easy to find, right in the middle of Myeongdong Shopping Street (📍3F, 26 Myeongdong 8ga-gil). The staff speak English, the hair wash felt like a spa treatment, and the cut was amazing. Highly recommend if you’re in Seoul and want a refresh!
