What beauty services cost in Hongdae (November 2026 sample)

Starting prices published by Hongdae salons and studios — hair, personal color, profile photos, nails and head spa — and why the final bill can differ.

These ranges come from prices the shops themselves published on Creatrip and Naver Place in November 2026. They are starting prices from a sample of shops, not a survey, and they change with promotions.

Why the final price can be higher

Hair prices are usually for short hair; shops note extra charges for length, and some charge more for a senior designer. Korean menus often show first-visit or member prices. Personal color prices on visitor platforms often include an interpreter. Ask for the total for your hair or session before you book — the hair salon guide has a sentence for that.

Platform price or shop price?

The same shop can list different menus on a visitor platform and on its Korean menu (different conditions, interpreters, first-visit discounts), so compare like with like. Each shop page here shows the starting prices that shop published and where they came from.
