Lulu Korean Premium K-Pop Idol Hair Salon | Gangnam Seoul

I chose a time when making an appointment and arrived about 15 minutes early that day. I called Uber directly from the hotel to the entrance of lulu salon. After we entered, an employee greeted us first. He spoke simple English, was polite, and asked us if we wanted to drink. We found the look we wanted to do on their Instagram beforehand, and they helped style our hair first, which took about 45 minutes. Then I went to another room, and another teacher helped with makeup. It took about 2 hours in total. The whole communication was in English or using a translator, which was smooth. The final makeup was in line with the most popular y2k style at the moment, and it looked very good. , the overall experience is very satisfactory, and I will come again next time.

I went there by taxi but got lost... They helped me even though I was a little late, and if you have a translation app, you can manage!! The makeup artists were in charge of base makeup and point makeup? (This may have been a coincidence!) They were separate from the hair people! I'm glad I got to look cute before the shoot ♡ The makeup was done carefully, but it was quick and over in a flash! They ask me what kind of look I want, so I recommend having a photo ready!!

I did this experience when I was traveling alone, but I felt it would be more fun if I went with a friend. The flow of the day is that you are first asked if you have a style you want, if you are currently wearing makeup, and when was the last time you washed your hair. Basically, you are required to go without makeup, and if possible, it is best to go after washing your hair in the morning. Since I overlooked the precautions in advance, I was asked at the site, "Would you like to pay 20,000 won and have your hair shampooed in the salon?", so I decided to ask. First, I went to the shampoo with staff A. It was my first time at a Korean beauty salon, so I don't know if it's the same at other stores, but they were very efficient and speedy. Unlike the gentle and careful hair washing at Japanese beauty salons, it was as if they had been in charge of hair and makeup for celebrities for many years. I wondered. Next, I was guided to a single-person makeup room, where staff B applied skin care and base makeup, and then staff C was in charge of point makeup. Finally, hair stylist D appeared. Her technique was different from the Japanese and Taiwanese beauty salons I had experienced, and she finished the style with just a curling iron and fixed it with a light spray at the end. I noticed after the treatment was over that my hair seemed to have a slight color. I was surprised that it was done so quickly that I wondered when it had happened. Finally, the reception staff and hair stylists were able to communicate in simple English, but in other situations the staff used a translation app on their smartphones to help me. Overall, it was smooth, and I personally think it would be fun to try it once, so I would definitely recommend it. By the way, there was a 4-frame photo booth called "Photoism Box (포토이즘 박스)" nearby, and it seemed to have fewer people there than the Myeongdong branch. After the hair and makeup is done, it's nice to enjoy taking selfies as if you were taking a photo with a star. After the shoot, you can download not only the photos, but also GIFs of you posing, which was quite interesting. You can also make reservations for Korean-style ID photos and image photos, and it was a different experience to have a professional photographer tell you how to pose like a model. The finished product was retouched to the point of plastic surgery, and it became a good memory.

The makeup artist was incredibly professional with the eyelashes. It was a great experience to try out a K-pop idol makeup look, and I learned some useful tips too!

I can barely speak Japanese. Everyone was kind enough to serve me using papago!
