Shangxi Beauty

I made an appointment for a treatment at Ximei Medical and just got back. The consultation experience was much better than I had imagined. The doctor first listened to my requirements and then explained that the desired results could actually be achieved through another approach. Instead of simply going along with my preference for more expensive options, the doctor provided professional advice before letting me make my own decision. Throughout the procedure, the doctor remained highly focused, constantly observing my reactions and adjusting the technique accordingly. Before each step, the doctor would inform me in advance about what I could expect, giving me time to prepare mentally. The overall pace of the treatment was well-controlled. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from Gangnam Station, so the location is quite convenient. The experience was better than expected; I didn’t feel like I was being overcharged in any way.

Did Hanbok Make Up here and the make up is so pretty ! The staffs were very friendly and so sweet. They helped me thru out my journey here as I got a little bit lost. The make up artist was very sweet the entire make up process. I love her ! Thank you for making me look beautiful 🩷 : Place is also very clean and super aesthetic!!

Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a makeup class and value for your money… I usually wouldn’t write a review on someone else’s business like this but did not have a good experience at all… My sister came here and left looking like a geisha/ghost even though she chose a simple natural style make up and mentioned continuously to the MUA during the entire consultation that she wanted a natural and light makeup look. She kept getting shut down and told no very rudely by the lady and wasn’t listened to at all. She asked my sister to try draw the eyeliner herself and when she tried the MUA said “you’re supposed to draw makeup to make you look PRETTIER not like this” in such a derogatory manner. The whole point was to have a 1:1 consultation to learn and this was an utter disappointment. The colour consultation was also very mid and the entire appointment just felt rushed and like a factory rather than an actual enjoyable experience. At the end my sister was unhappy with the look because it was so bad it was embarrassing to walk out looking like that and she asked for something to wipe some off but the lady refused saying she had the next client coming in. She could have at least given her a wet wipe to help her… (please bear in mind we are ethnically Korean so we expected for her to be experienced doing Korean people’s makeup)… In addition, when I was accompanying my sister for the first part of the appointment, she had a rude attitude but not enough for me to think much of it, BUT after I left, there was no one else in the salon but the two of them and she apparently became much worse because no one else was there. This is particularly concerning and not great to feel such hostility when in a foreign country and also as paying customers (it’s not cheap at all). Overall very disappointed to have spent money here, feels like a tourist trap, honestly quite a rude lady (eg. Snatching the mirror from her hands and continuous negative interactions like this). Not sure if the person was having a bad day or in a difficult situation but really wouldn’t recommend this place sadly… — RESPONSE TO THE REPLY: I understand and would usually not leave a review however although I was not even permitted to see the makeup consultation of my sister, I was sat in the seating area next to it and could hear what was being said and could see the attitude of the makeup artist as I also met them and was there at the location at the time accompanying the client (my sister). Secondly, I have photo evidence of the abysmal makeup done before and after but due to privacy reasons are withholding. I do not think anyone would be happy with the results that we received and the negative impatient attitude of the staff response when mentioning feedback about the makeup received. Lastly, because we speak both English and Korean fluently we were able to experience both sides of what people should expect to receive here and so I am leaving an accurate and honest review of our time at this place.

An amazing experience with the i Idol Makeup and hair styling session for my daughter. Very highly professional and kind staff. A wonderful location near Gyeongbokgung Palace!❤️❤️❤️

Teacher Grace was very patient and recommended the best tone for my skin during the colour analysis. I used them now during shopping for clothes and cosmetics that complement my skin. The 1:1 makeup was very good to learn about korean makeup, which was light, airy, and just easier to apply once you get used to it. I can't wait to try them and practice more to have that korean makeup 😍. She speaks good English and everything was easy to understand and follow. Highly recommend this place if you come to Seoul and want to elevate your style/makeup.

The shop was beautifully decorated and clean, huge range of makeup to choose from Very attentive, everything was amazing! Professional services. Would recommend to those who like to try makeup experience
