Nail date recommendations for 3+ in Seoul

Ladies and nail loving men! I came to Seoul last year with a group of friends.

There were 3 of us girls who wanted to get our nails done together. We did what research we could do with language limitations and ended up hitting the pavement and going to every place we could find in Hongdae.

We could not find a place that would seat 3 girls!

Of course there's nothing wrong with this, it was just a new experience!

Coming from a country where nail salons have multiple staff and 10+ seats, we are so used to being able to walk into a store and they'll simply tell us how long we'll have to wait, but we'll ALWAYS get seated.

So, I'm taking recommendations on places in Seoul that can accommodate a request like this, particularly for foreign girls.

Yes, I could get my nails done at home before I come over, but I like to experience as much as I can in a new country and give back to the local economy.

If you have any suggestions on this, or any other experiences that are a MUST in Seoul, I'm all ears!

*EDIT: I forgot to say, we're coming back later in the year so I will be looking to up the ante on this trip because I feel like I missed out on so much last time!

Shopping for plus sized girlies!

Hi everyone! I'm 30F coming to Korea in August for a cultural exchange opportunity.

This will be my second time coming to Korea. Last year I was a decent 15kg's heavier so I was really unlucky shopping, but I was also really uneducated. We stayed to Hongdae and my mind was BLOWN, but I was finding myself in places not right for me.

This time I would love some recommendations on places to shop. I am still plus size (around US 16) and I am 30 now, so I STILL LOVE streetwear, but am trying to move into more sophisticated looks (not too mature) lol.

Please share any recommendations!!!

Bonus points for second hand stores that sell luxury haha
