This was a very relaxing experience. Jina was so nice and friendly--and funny too! I booked this for my two sisters and myself. She really took her time to do all of our facials. It was so soothing and comfortable. She even showed us how to take care of our skin going forward and how to write our names in Korean! Her English was very good even though she said it wasn't very good, very easy to understand. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed my facial with Hana today! My face felt and looked amazing afterwards. Also was excited to see the very thorough report sent about my skin type and what products to use to fix the problem areas. Wish they were closer to me, I’d make a point to see them every month!
very convenient location, close to the train station. the studio is in a walk-up on 3rd floor. the most special is the heated blanket and soothing ambience. Jina is also a very careful and cheerful person, very good therapist! i can tell my skin has improved a lot after one session!
Really enjoyed my session! Jina was absolutely wonderful, funny too. Gave me lots of recommendations and after care. Definitely recommend.
This was 150% worth it!! The salon is so calm and inviting, and I loved getting my facial on the floor beds with gentle music and insense so much I think I fell asleep. Sue was such a sweetheart and as a professional always made sure I was comfortable. My face looks about 5 years younger and not only did they do an amazing job but they also give you a personalised evaluation of your skin and how to care for it back home. Thank you Sue and all the other lovely ladies working at Laurel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very lovely treatment. The therapist is very kind and speaks excellent English. My boyfriend was so relaxed that he fell asleep. After the treatment, our skin immediately looked great and radiant. We even each received a long letter with tips for our skincare routine that we could take home with us. We will definitely take everything into account and will definitely come back.
Amazing experience today!!! It's easy to find and very close to the subway. I got the personalized skincare and it was so nice. First she gives you a questionnairy to see wat you would like and what your skin problems are. So it's easy for her to use the right products. It's so relaxing and you can have a great talk. She is so friendly and bubbly! She gives you cards in English so that you know what for steps she's going to do. Very relaxin music also. After the treatment she gives you personalized morning and evening routine and products that you can use for acne and she tell you where to buy it! So I would go again if I come back to Korea! Love from Elizabeth Thank u for the great experience and the cute photo!!!
I booked a premium k- beauty care facial at Laurel studios for me and my parents and I really recommend spending the extra for the personalized skincare program. As soon as we got there it was a warm and inviting environment that you can easily relax into. Hana was so lovely and friendly as well as the team helping with my family. My skin felt instantly better and I appreciate the clarity of what I need to do to work on my skin following their analysis, easily laid out instructions and where and why I need to use certain products. It really was a pleasure to go and have that experience, you'll definitely be taken care of.
Hana and her team are absolutely wonderful. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this treatment, but it has far exceeded my expectations. Hana’s dedication to helping me with my skin concerns has been incredible. She put so much effort into giving me personalized recommendations for my daily skincare routine. All the products felt amazing on my skin, and the whole experience was so relaxing and truly helpful for keeping my skin hydrated. I would definitely come back here if I visit Seoul again. It has been a 10/10 experience!
Wonderful and relaxing facial experience. Got the premium package where we received a customized facial in accordance to our skin type and condition. Starts off with a small questionnaire and some tea. After completion, we received an email detailing our skin condition and products recommended for our skin type. I would definitely recommend this place.
