Ahead of a trip the following week, the writer got a Brazilian wax here for the first time in a while, and the studio uses the Australian wax brand Lycon, disinfects before and after treatment, and finished the whole process including an after-care mask in under 30 minutes. Even with 5 years of Brazilian waxing experience as a baseline, the pain was almost nonexistent, which made for a satisfying visit. ## Good to know - **Location**: 32 Teheran-ro 1-gil, 3rd floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–21:30, open year-round - **Parking**: Paid parking available - **Wax used**: Lycon, Australian professional waxing brand - **Duration**: Waxing about 15 minutes, under 30 minutes including after-care mask *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Main photo from a Brazilian waxing visit to Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-01-2tprx-1200.webp) Today I want to share my visit to Super Waxing Gangnam, a waxing studio near Gangnam Station! I usually get Brazilian waxing on a regular basis, but I've been so busy lately that it had been a while since my last session haha. Luckily I had a trip coming up the following week, so I finally went back for a Brazilian wax after a long gap! Honestly, pain is probably the biggest worry for most people when it comes to Brazilian waxing. I've built up my own standards from trying different places, and this time I specifically went looking for somewhere that's "genuinely not painful" lol. And once I actually got it done, I was surprised at how fast it went — it felt like it was over in about 15 minutes! 😳 Let me walk you through exactly how painful it was and how the whole experience went :) ## Super Waxing Gangnam location and hours - Address: 32 Teheran-ro 1-gil, 3rd floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 10:00–21:30, open year-round!! - Parking: Paid parking available ![Exterior and sign of the building housing Super Waxing Gangnam near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-02-vnfx2-900.webp) First I took a photo of the exterior of Super Waxing Gangnam! It's close to Gangnam Station so it wasn't hard to find, and I got there quickly. Best of all, the sign is easy to spot, so even as a first-time visitor I found it without any trouble! 😊 If you're looking for a waxing studio near Gangnam Station, this one's pretty accessible, so it's easy to visit :) ![Stairway up to the 3rd floor where Super Waxing Gangnam is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-03-1qlyn-900.webp) Then heading up to the 3rd floor, you'll find Super Waxing Gangnam! ![Entrance and interior of Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-04-2705p-900.webp) ![Nicely decorated waiting area at Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-05-3jlw9-900.webp) ## A space designed by a sculpture-major director The moment I opened the door and walked in, I was a little surprised at how pretty the interior was lol. When I think of a waxing studio, I usually picture something clean and practical, but this place was decorated with such a nice atmosphere :) It turns out the director who runs it actually majored in sculpture! Maybe that's why the space felt a bit different from a typical waxing studio in so many little ways haha. ![Shower room inside the waxing studio](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-06-1msji-900.webp) ![Interior of the well-maintained shower room](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-07-nl475-900.webp) I had already showered at home before coming, so I didn't use the shower room myself, but I peeked in and it looked well maintained and clean. If you'd like to shower before your waxing appointment, you can use the shower room at the studio! 😊 Having a clean shower facility at a waxing studio actually matters a lot, and it was reassuring to see that this was well taken care of too. ![Questionnaire and consent form filled out before waxing](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-08-aah31-m-900.webp) ## Consent form and pre-treatment guidance Before the treatment, I first filled out a short questionnaire and consent form. They also explained the precautions to take before waxing. I've been getting Brazilian waxing consistently for about 5 years, so this was all familiar to me, but I still appreciated that they went through it carefully again before starting :) For anyone getting waxed for the first time, it seemed like a reassuring way to know what to watch out for beforehand! ![White-toned, tidy waxing treatment room](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-09-3w8eq-900.webp) I was led into the treatment room, and the moment I walked in I loved how it was all white-toned and kept spotlessly clean. ![Stuffed animal placed in the treatment room](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-10-1ylrx-758.webp) There was also a cute stuffed animal sitting off to one side lol 🧸 Waxing tends to make you nervous beforehand, especially with the worry of "what if it really hurts?" If you're someone who's scared of waxing pain, holding onto the stuffed animal during the treatment might help. ![Lycon wax used at Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-11-1ika0-900.webp) ## Lycon wax and disposable supplies Super Waxing Gangnam uses wax from Lycon, a professional Australian waxing brand! I was curious what kind of product they'd use for the waxing, and knowing it's a dedicated professional wax brand made me trust the place even more :) ![Disposable skirt prepared before the waxing treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-12-1f86a-900.webp) After being shown to the treatment room, I changed into a disposable skirt and waited a bit before the waxer came in! Having something like this provided as disposable was reassuring from a hygiene standpoint too 😊 Once I finished changing and waited comfortably, the treatment started right away :) Before starting, they also disinfected everything thoroughly! Of course it's a necessary step, but it's something I personally care about, so I appreciated it :) What I liked even more was that they disinfected again not just before the treatment, but also before applying the after-care mask afterward. It gave the impression that basic hygiene was being handled meticulously, so I felt reassured going into the treatment! ![Ingrown-hair prevention spray used after waxing](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-13-kgve5-900.webp) ![Moisturizing lotion product used after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-14-ykc8w-900.webp) ## How painful was the Brazilian wax, really After the treatment, they sprayed an ingrown-hair prevention spray and applied lotion thoroughly for moisture! Having done waxing consistently for quite a while now, I can say this place was genuinely fast — it flew by lol. And most importantly, the pain — which I cared about most — was almost nonexistent! The director even told me I was "good at enduring it" lol, but honestly, I'm not usually great at tolerating pain... haha. This time, though, it really just didn't hurt much, so I don't think it was that I endured it well — it just genuinely hurt less lol. I'd especially recommend this place to anyone who worries about pain when getting a Brazilian wax! ![Business card with after-care instructions printed on the back](https://img.superchart.com/images/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip-15-1s8lr-900.webp) ## Wrapping up after the mask After the treatment, they also gave me a business card! The back had after-care instructions printed on it, which was nice since I could check it again once I got home :) And once everything, including the mask, was finished, the whole treatment took under 30 minutes! I was genuinely surprised at how quickly it wrapped up lol. I was really satisfied with how tidy everything was, and above all, with how much less painful it was than I expected 🥰 Brazilian waxing tends to be on the pricier side, but Super Waxing Gangnam is reasonably priced, so it's easy to visit without feeling burdened! If you're looking for a waxing studio near Gangnam Station with a clean, comfortable environment and minimal pain, I'd recommend Super Waxing Gangnam! 🤍 If you've been worried about waxing pain like I was, this place is worth trying haha. ## Where it is - Super Waxing Gangnam (슈퍼왁싱 강남) - 32 Teheran-ro 1-gil, 3rd floor, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로1길 32 3층 슈퍼왁싱 강남점 - 37.5004154, 127.0274721 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%88%ED%8D%BC%EC%99%81%EC%8B%B1%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8/@37.5004154,127.0274721,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@compact-coaster-journal/super-waxing-gangnam-brazilian-before-trip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
