Apgujeong nail salon round pink syrup one-color nails: Naeil Didi

Today I'm introducing a place I left super satisfied with my nail care — Naeil Didi, a nail salon specializing in Apgujeong Rodeo. The service was fantastic and the prices reasonable, so I really want to recommend it. Shall we take a closer look?

Where is Naeil Didi, and what are its hours?

• Location: 601, Sinsa-dong 659-13, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
• Hours: 11:00 – 21:00
• Naver Reservation available

Walking from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 6, and parking at Naeil Didi

As you can see on the map, Naeil Didi, this Apgujeong Rodeo nail salon, sits right near Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line. I walked out of Exit 6 and got there in about 2 minutes. Super close, right?

Oh, and just so you know — parking is available, but the building runs a flat rate, so it costs ₩5,000. Worth knowing if you're driving over.

Inside the 6th-floor salon: 4 seats only

Naeil Didi's interior is about the size of a typical nail salon, but it felt clean and well-organized, which made it feel more spacious than it actually is. Plus, being up on the 6th floor with windows, it felt open and airy rather than cramped, which I loved.

There are 4 seats total for treatments, but don't think 'oh there's plenty of room, I can just drop by anytime' — haha, big mistake! Looking at the Naver reservation calendar, almost the entire week was booked solid. Even with 30-minute slots, the skill level is so good that reservations fill right up. So I definitely recommend booking ahead before you go.

How the pink syrup gel one-color and round shape were done

That day I got a gel one-color manicure (in pink, syrup nail type), and the whole session was so comfortable and perfectly done that I have nothing but good memories. Let's take a look through video and photos!

Before the work begins you need to decide on the nail shape, so I asked for round, and from that point on I could tell how carefully they were working — through the cuticle care and final finishing that followed, not a single moment felt uncomfortable. You know how when you're really relaxed your whole body goes limp? That's exactly the feeling I had. And now, the result!

Before on the left, after on the right. Can you see how the nails are sparkling with not a single stray cuticle left? Haha, I was completely satisfied with the result. You could really see how much care went into every single nail, and it made me so happy.

Would I book Naeil Didi again?

I've been to nail salons all over, but places that make you feel this relaxed are rare. The atmosphere was so comfortable and the skill so good that I never once worried about anything going wrong. In fact, even while getting my manicure done, I already started thinking about coming back next time for a pedicure, haha.

For anyone dealing with worse cuticles and hangnails from this seasonal weather change — get a treatment at Naeil Didi and you won't have to worry for a good while. So make sure to book a reservation and pay them a visit!!
