Ahead of an overseas trip, the writer had her first-ever Brazilian wax at Super Waxing Gangnam: it was done in under 30 minutes with Lycon Pinky low-pain wax, with stray hairs tidied up by tweezers at the end. For anyone who has been putting off waxing out of fear of the pain, Super Waxing Gangnam is a solid choice for a first try. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3rd floor, 32 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (about a 3-minute walk from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station) - **Hours**: Daily 10:00 - 21:30 - **Treatments**: Brazilian waxing, ingrown hair care, soothing care and more - **Wax used**: Lycon Pinky low-pain whitening wax - **Treatment time**: Under 30 minutes for a Brazilian wax - **Booking**: Available through Naver Reservation - **Amenity**: Shower room available before the treatment *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* I had an overseas trip coming up, so I got my very first Brazilian wax!

Super Waxing Gangnam is super close to Gangnam Station — about a 5-minute walk from Exit 11! ![Exterior of the building housing Super Waxing Gangnam near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-01-1ry27-1200.webp) ![The route to Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-02-172yo-966.webp) Super Waxing Gangnam uses Lycon Pinky low-pain whitening wax, which they say makes for a painless wax. Lycon Pinky is apparently a long-established, premium low-pain wax that's rated as the top wax in high-end spas and salons across 80 countries. And the esthetician actually has 5 years of experience as a nursing assistant and skincare specialist, which made me trust the process even more, haha. ![Super Waxing signage on the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-03-1c7w6-966.webp) So you don't get confused about which shop it is, 'Super Waxing' is clearly marked on the building — just double check and you'll find it easily, haha. ![Entrance to Super Waxing Gangnam on the 3rd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-04-19haf-966.webp) As soon as you get up to the 3rd floor, Super Waxing is right there. ![Modern, clean interior of Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-05-u1jn2-966.webp) ![Waiting area with a woody atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-06-kn3b0-966.webp) ![Decor and interior details inside Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-07-12hi8-966.webp) ![Overall view of the interior at Super Waxing Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-08-fv6wx-966.webp) ## Inside Super Waxing Gangnam and the consent form The owner apparently studied sculpture in art school, and I think that's why the interior felt so modern and clean. I especially love this kind of woody styling, so it was exactly my kind of atmosphere, haha. ![Consent form filled out before the waxing treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-09-qwl3p-m-966.webp) Before the treatment, you fill out a consent form like this! I've genuinely never been into waxing before, so I had no idea this many different areas could even be done. If I get the chance, I'm thinking about trying arm and leg waxing next time too, haha. ![Guide showing the areas available for treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-10-1jkb0-966.webp) ![Detailed items on the waxing salon's consent form](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-11-w9d33-966.webp) ![Shower room used before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-12-dht1x-966.webp) ## How clean are the shower and treatment rooms? This is the shower room you can use to wash up before the treatment! This is where I really felt Super Waxing cares about cleanliness — even though a lot of people obviously use this space, there was no smell at all, and the mirror and faucet had zero water stains, completely spotless! I'm the type who can't use a bathroom if it's dirty, so how clean this was put my mind at ease while showering, haha. ![Waxing treatment bed with a pad laid on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-13-o5np5-966.webp) This is the treatment room! The moment I walked in, it felt neatly maintained. There's a pad laid over the treatment bed, so even though multiple people use the same bed, it seemed like they always keep it clean for each person. ![Pink rabbit doll held during the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-14-1wjr4-966.webp) And here's the rabbit doll that shared my pain! Lol. This little pink bunny was a huge help the entire time I was getting waxed... ## How much does a first Brazilian wax actually hurt? ![Image from the Brazilian waxing treatment review](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-15-1w57d-966.webp) Since it was my first wax, I looked up a bunch of reviews beforehand, and apparently a lot of people end up traumatized after waxing? So I went in pretty terrified, but the esthetician pulled everything off so quickly and painlessly that I actually thought, 'I could totally get this done regularly!' Throughout the treatment, she didn't just yank hair off randomly — she gave me a heads-up before areas that might hurt, so I could brace myself. After waxing everything off, she also carefully removed the stray hairs with tweezers, which made the whole thing feel much cleaner. And the whole thing took under 30 minutes, so it went by so fast I barely had time to feel the pain, haha. I really recommend this place to anyone looking for a waxing salon near Gangnam Station! ![Aftercare guide provided after the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-16-4hotj-966.webp) ![Precautions to prevent ingrown hairs and folliculitis](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-17-ah39u-966.webp) ## Aftercare after a Brazilian wax After the treatment, they gave me aftercare instructions like this, and I've had zero ingrown hairs or folliculitis so far! Folliculitis is genuinely terrifying... but if you use the waxing-specific spray, soothing gel, scrub, etc. and follow the precautions properly, the risk goes way down — so make sure you follow the aftercare instructions! ![Summary of who Super Waxing Gangnam is recommended for](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing/gangnam-first-brazilian-waxing-superwaxing-18-q1xul-966.webp) ## Who is Super Waxing Gangnam best for? - Anyone looking for a waxing salon near Gangnam Station - Anyone with waxing trauma from pain in the past - Anyone getting a Brazilian wax for the first time - Anyone who wants ingrown hair care and soothing treatment together - Anyone who cares a lot about hygiene - Anyone looking for a waxing salon that's easy to get to from Gangnam Station Even though this was my first ever wax, I was so satisfied that I'm definitely going back to Super Waxing Gangnam next time I need it, haha.
