Hanbok Rental & Hairstyling at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul

Here are the points I liked: 1. There's a restroom (very important, especially for those who need to use it frequently. It's best to go before putting on the hanbok and before heading out. The store was very kind and allowed us to return to use it mid-way through our outing. Gyeongbokgung Palace actually has restrooms, and they are clearly marked, but sometimes you can still get a bit lost inside. If you're worried, I recommend marking the restrooms on a map beforehand). 2. Easy to find (just use Naver Map to navigate directly; you can also browse shops on the way from Anguk Station). 3. Clothes are in good condition (skirts are very voluminous, no holes, no strange smells). 4. There are about 5 free hairstyles (from what I remember) (all the hairstyles in the pictures below are free. Additional charges, up to 10,000 Korean Won, are only for more elaborate styles like the 'medical lady' style or intricate updos). *********** I purchased the most expensive full-day level. Upon arrival, I could choose from 40,000 Won skirts, which were basically solid-colored or gradient-colored voluminous skirts, a single layer with an additional panel skirt. Since the skirt essentially has two layers, you can still see the hoop skirt's steel frame. If this bothers you, you'll need to pay extra for a higher-tier skirt. There are options for 60,000 Won and 80,000 Won. (The 60,000 Won options include tiered skirts and long tops that cover the stomach, as well as some patterned skirts. The 80,000 Won options have gold trim and some hot-stamped designs, which are really good quality, but probably better for autumn/winter, and also come with stomach-covering tops). If you're not planning to take photos all day, 4 hours is quite enough. It's definitely enough in the summer, as you won't last much longer. I'm quite heat-tolerant, but even on an overcast day, I only lasted about 5 hours before I couldn't take it anymore. We arrived at 11 AM and still found clothes we liked, but earlier might offer more top choices (?). Everyone should consider their own timing. Regarding photography, as per the price list, you can inquire directly at the store. However, it was an overcast day, so we didn't add on a photography package, so I don't know how the photos would have turned out. Many people at Gyeongbokgung Palace hire photographers. If the weather is good and you're in a good mood, you can hire one. They are very good at directing poses and have their own camera angles, so you don't have to find spots or think of poses yourself. Also, there are lockers with keys, so make sure to keep your key safe. In summary, I highly recommend this place and would go again, but not on a hot day.

After checking the surrounding hanbok shops, this one has the best location, located halfway between Bukchon and Gyeongbokgung Palace. I booked a 4-hour plan, visited Bukchon first, took a break, and then went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. There are many styles of hanbok, many pieces of skirts and tops in various colors, and there are also children's hanbok. We went there at 11 o'clock on weekdays and chose the hanbok we were satisfied with. The clerk helped with changing clothes and tying hair quickly and neatly, and was also very friendly. It comes with basic headwear and hanbok bags. Although the price is higher, it actually includes the hairstyle, hair accessories, and bags, plus the location is so convenient, so it is very cost-effective, highly recommended!

Our hanbook experience is so amazing, should have rented it for 3hrs, the Palace is so huge 2hrs is not enough to walk around and take photos. Thank you for helping us choose the hanbook and to our stylist it was great! until next time kamsahamnida 🫶💜

It was really a great experience! very easy to redeem and won’t take long. The staffs in the hanbok rental is very accomodating as well. They greet and welcomed us, as soon as we enter their store and gave us quick instruction on choose and change our clothes. I also noticed that the styles and color of their hanbok is great and pretty colorful. Plus the girl who help me get my hair done is so nice. This hanbok rental store is highly recommended and it’s just beside the NON FICTION STORE and near the front gate of palace.

It was a great experience and they made sure I looked great! I'm a 6ft tall 230 lb juggernaut of a guy, so it was cool that they had a size that not only fit me, but made me look great. The staff were friendly and helped assist me with the unfamiliar fastening of the hanbok. It was warm today, so I didn't wear it as long as I'd hoped, but it certainly made the visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace apropos.

The rental store offers variety of hanbok which made it harder for us to choose--because they are all pretty. Plus, the store is just right across the entrance of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Not a long walk. The costume can be a little uncozy to wear during sunny day as they are made of silk so a little less walking to the palace is helpful for a less sweaty experience.

The clothes are beautiful, and the included bag and hairstyle design are amazing. The store is very close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, just across the street. Booking through Klook is super convenient.

1 Very interesting and wonderful experience. The shop is located right across from the entrance to the museum (inside the museum is Gyeongbokgung Palace) so it is very convenient for traveling, only 2 minutes walk. The staff is friendly and speaks good English. I am really satisfied with the outfit I chose. Note: 2 hours rental is reasonable, I rented for 4 hours so I had a bit more time.

Highly recommended shop!!! The place was near the Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Bukchon Hanok Village so we were able to explore both places wearing the Hanbok. There were a lot of hanbok to choose from so it was a bit overwhelming initially, but the staff helped me pick based on the color that I wanted. They also did my hair for free, and I absolutely loved it!

I booked a traditional Hanbok experience for two hours. When I put the address into Naver Maps, it didn't show up as a pin, so I had to guess the general area and eventually found it. The staff seemed to be Chinese and didn't speak Japanese, but we managed with English and Chinese. Around 10 AM, it was relatively empty, so I was able to get dressed and have my hair styled right away. I was very satisfied with the cute Hanbok I got to wear. When it was time to return it, it was very crowded, and I had to wait a while before someone could assist me with taking it off. Overall, I really enjoyed the Hanbok experience. I highly recommend it.
