Jeonpo nail salon: pale lilac gradient gel, 45,000 won, Jsu Beauty

I like clean, neat-looking hands more than flashy ones. So this time I wanted a subtle change at my fingertips, and I went to get my nails done in Seomyeon.

The place I visited is Jsu Beauty Eyelash & Nail, Seomyeon Branch (제이수뷰티 속눈썹&네일 서면점). If you're looking for a nail salon in Jeonpo, this review should help too, so let's get started, haha.

Where is Jsu Beauty's Seomyeon branch?

Jsu Beauty's Seomyeon branch is on Dongcheon-ro in Busanjin-gu, close to Seomyeon Station. It's on the 2nd floor of the building next to Seomyeon Milmyeon (a Busan cold wheat noodle restaurant), so it wasn't hard to find. It's a convenient spot for anyone looking for nail care in Seomyeon and Jeonpo.

Please check the parking support conditions with the shop before you visit.

Nails and lashes in one salon

Inside Jsu Beauty, there's an area for manicures and pedicures. There's also a separate area further in for eyelash treatments.

Being able to get nails and lashes done in one place looked really convenient. You can also browse lots of colors and art designs, so choosing looked like fun.

If you're looking for a nail salon in Seomyeon, it's worth asking about the style you want.

A gradient gel manicure for clean hands in VC60 pale lilac

The treatment I chose at Jsu Beauty this time was a gradient hand gel! I usually like designs that make my hands look clean, so I went with a gradient.

I picked the cleanest, most subtle color I could. My choice was VC60, the palest shade in the lilac range! And for the nail shape, a soft round shape!

Choosing your nail shape before the manicure

At Jsu Beauty you can pick your nail shape before starting, and I liked that from the very beginning. Even the same color gives quite a different mood depending on the shape, right?

Choosing the shape myself made me feel the treatment was tailored to my taste.

Careful, detailed nail care from the owner

I had this gradient nail done by the owner of Jsu Beauty. From the nail length to the round shape, she shaped everything with real care. I liked how she looked closely and didn't skip over even the small details.

She also worked carefully so the gradient blended naturally. Every time I get my nails done, the finished design matters, but so does how much care goes into the process.

At Jsu Beauty, the Seomyeon nail salon I visited this time, I could feel that meticulousness. It felt like a place that checks the style the customer wants and expresses it carefully.

How does VC60 pale lilac gradient gel look in different light?

Finally done! The VC60 pale lilac gradient was exactly the clean, neat look I wanted. It's a very light shade even for lilac, so it isn't overbearing and is truly subtle.

And this color is really charming. Under indoor lighting it looks light pink or light lilac! In sunlight, a milky, creamy glow comes through. It's the same nail, but the color looks slightly different with the light, which makes it prettier.

Thanks to the gradient flowing naturally to the nail tips, my fingertips look much tidier. It made me feel that color alone, without flashy decoration, can be plenty pretty.

If you're thinking about nail art in Jeonpo and like a neat style, I'd recommend a lilac gradient like this. The round shape in particular brought out the soft feeling even more.

Binge-watching the drama Chamgyoyuk (참교육) on the nail-seat monitor

Another thing I loved: the monitor set up in front of the nail seat at Jsu Beauty. When you sit across from a nail artist you've just met for a long time, you sometimes feel pressure to keep the conversation going.

But with a monitor, I could pass the time comfortably watching a video. Thanks to that, I finally binge-watched the drama 'Teaching Justice' (참교육) that I'd been meaning to see :)

The owner focused on my nails while I enjoyed my video and relaxed. The time flew by much faster, too. As a customer, I really welcomed this small gesture of consideration.

Lashes at Jsu Beauty next time

Jsu Beauty is a beauty shop that does not only nails but also eyelash extensions and lash perms. I took a look around the lash treatment area too.

After experiencing the owner's careful touch this time, I thought I'd like to try the lashes next. If you're looking for a nail salon in Jeonpo and also checking out lash care, this might be worth a look.

A customer-service trainer's notes: comfort is part of the service

As a customer-service (CS) trainer, wherever I go I end up noticing the consideration shown from the customer's point of view! Haha, occupational hazard! Two things stood out in particular on this visit to Jsu Beauty!

• First, they let me choose my nail shape myself before the treatment started.
• Second, I could pass the time comfortably with the monitor.

Some people enjoy chatting during a treatment, and others may want to spend the time quietly on their own. I was impressed by an environment that respects such different customer preferences.

Add the owner's heartfelt care to that, and the time spent getting my nails done itself became a pleasant experience.

Good service starts with respecting the customer's taste. Comfortable time is also a precious value that stays with the customer.

Verdict: pale lilac gradient gel for neat, simple hands

I think this visit to Jsu Beauty will stay with me for many reasons. A pale lilac gradient, with the nail shape I chose myself, finished with the owner's meticulous touch!

Above all, I love the VC60 color that looks light pink or milky depending on the lighting and sunlight. For those looking for good-value nails in Seomyeon, I think the variety of treatment options will help too :)

I finished with simple nails, but looking at the customer next to me, very flashy art looked totally pretty too. Next time I'm thinking of trying a flashy design for a special day..haha

For anyone looking for nails in Seomyeon or Jeonpo! Jsu Beauty is a Jeonpo-area nail salon I'd like to introduce, visited by customers of all kinds of tastes. If you want careful treatment or are thinking about nail art in Jeonpo, I hope this is a useful reference.

A day of a small change at my fingertips at Jsu Beauty, a Seomyeon nail salon! I hope this review helps those looking for a nail salon or nail art in Jeonpo, haha.
