After a run of magnetic gel, the writer went for autumn with a nude base, French tips and a dot accent on one nail, and the ballerina shape was filed right on the first try. It was her first French manicure at Byuazeu, and the moody, grown-up finish made it a clear win. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 19 Hongik-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (about a 4–5 minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Reservations**: Available - **Parking**: Not available - **Service received**: Gel removal, then nude base with French tips and a dot accent, ballerina shape *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* I switched up my nails for autumn, you guys?

Let me write up the full review below!! ## Where is Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare, and what are its hours? 📍 Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare is at 19 Hongik-ro 2-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, about a 4–5 minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station. It's open daily 11:00–21:00, reservations are possible, and there's no parking. ## Getting to Byuazeu from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station Byuazeu Beauty is really close to Exit 9 of Hongik University Station!! It's near a crepe place I love, so after my nails were done... haha, of course I went to get a crepe haha. Anyway, it's a super convenient walking distance from the station. ![Exterior of Byuazeu near Hongik University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-02-ekfi7-900.webp) Here's the outside of the shop!!! ![Store entrance advertising nail and skincare services](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-03-xjfqf-900.webp) Looks like they also do skin and facial care too!!! ## Inside Byuazeu: the salon space and atmosphere ![Interior of Byuazeu with colors on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-04-1sw5k-900.webp) This is the inside of the salon!! They have so many nail colors haha. I was so happy about that. A nail shop with a huge color selection is the best. ![Display area with a wide range of gel colors](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-05-1rpex-900.webp) ![Corner of the shop with a large nail color collection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-06-rbani-900.webp) I walked into the shop and there was this cute dog there ㅠㅠ (so sweet). It was so gentle I just stared at it for a while... haha ![The gentle dog met at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-07-d4bbv-900.webp) This is where you get your pedicure done! ![Seating area for pedicures](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-08-8aimf-900.webp) This is where you get gel nails done. There's room for two people to sit side by side, so it'd be fine to come with a friend too? ![Gel nail seats for two people side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-09-ci3fp-m-900.webp) ![Gel nail treatment table and tools](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-10-1xdm8-900.webp) ![Overview of the nail treatment area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-11-1a1wt-900.webp) This is where you get skin and facial care.

My nails had gotten pretty long, so it really was time for a change? ![Removing the existing gel nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-16-n34n0-900.webp) They removed it fast with no damage. Her hands were so quick, I loved it ㅠㅠ ![Shaping the nails after gel removal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-17-qhrgy-900.webp) ![Choosing a nude-tone color](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-18-1jdva-900.webp) After removing the gel and shaping the nails, I wanted a nude tone as the base, so I was picking out a color haha. So many colors to choose from. ![A variety of nude-family gel colors](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-19-vrm1m-900.webp) After shaping, towel time! I love towel time so much. It's such a healing moment ㅠ ![Towel care during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-20-mzfi9-900.webp) I asked for a ballerina shape, and she nailed it in one go. This place is a shape master!!!! ![Ballerina shape nailed in one go](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-21-1b1xy-900.webp) Testing colors here — since I like nude tones, the color she recommended was the one on my fourth finger... haha, and that's the one I went with!! ![Testing several colors on the nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz/hongdae-nail-nude-french-dot-vueaz-22-1fovv-900.webp) Here's the finished gel nails! I went with a nude tone for autumn, and it had such a vibe, so pretty ㅠㅠ This French tip was so pretty too... This was my first French manicure, but it's such a great accent and gives off a grown-up woman feel, I love it so much haha. Instead of French tips on one nail, I added a dot accent instead, and it turned out so so pretty ㅠㅠ If you're looking for an autumn nail design, I recommend this nude tone + French + dot design from Byuazeu Beauty in Hongdae. Highly recommend★ ## Why Byuazeu is worth booking as a Hongdae nail salon The weather's been so nice lately ㅠㅠ and switching to autumn nails put me in the best mood,..!! If you're looking for a nail salon in Hongdae, I recommend Byuazeu Beauty!! The director's hands are so fast, I love that ㅠㅠ It really finishes up quick, but the quality is great too, so good.
