I received a travel-meets-autumn ribbon manicure, with extra color added to balance my yellowish nail tone, and loved the hand-painted ribbons. Verdict: Careful service and a speedy appointment made Byuazeu a great value. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00, open daily - **Parking**: Not available - **Monthly art**: ₩49,000–₩89,000 - **Review event**: ₩5,000 discount - **Services**: Nail art, lash lifts *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## A cozy nail salon in Hongdae’s busy district Before going on vacation, I visited Byuazeu Hongdae Nail to get my nails done and get myself in the mood. Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare offers both nail art and lash lifts, and specializes in gel nails, monthly art, wedding nails, nail extensions, and artificial nail extensions. ![Information for Byuazeu Hongdae Nail beauty salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-01-10gd4-900.webp) It is in the busy Hongdae area, so I think it would be easy to reach by public transport. I drove and parked at a nearby public parking lot. ![Exterior of a nail salon in Hongdae’s busy district](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-02-1ohb6-900.webp) ![Entrance to Byuazeu Hongdae Nail](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-03-1bmcb-900.webp) There was a waiting area as soon as I entered, so I could wait comfortably. Drinks were prepared as well, which was nice. ![Nail salon waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-04-qvts7-900.webp) ![Waiting area with drinks prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-05-14msy-900.webp) Right beside it was the nail area, with the pedicure area behind it, plus products in all sorts of colors to the side. It is compact and cozy. ![Nail and pedicure areas](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-06-uj6a1-900.webp) ![Nail products in a variety of colors](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-07-1dict-900.webp) ## So much nail art, I changed my design One wall was filled with so many different nail tips and monthly art designs. Thinking that they made all of these themselves, I was really impressed. ![Nail tips displayed on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-08-j6lu4-900.webp) ![Monthly nail art samples](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-09-n3xw3-900.webp) ![Various nail art designs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-10-11zr0-900.webp) When I booked, I had found a design I wanted and showed it to them. But once I arrived, there were so many pretty designs that I asked if I could change it and chose one from the display instead, haha. That is how varied and lovely the art options were. ![The nail art I chose after changing my design](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-11-1wrp9-900.webp) ![Nail art design samples](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-12-154em-900.webp) The pedicure zone looked cozy too. The pedicure art included lots of fresh-looking and cute options. ![Cozy dedicated pedicure area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-13-zf0cf-900.webp) ## Basic care with advice for my nail-tone concern My damaged nails before the appointment... I prefer longer nails and wanted to choose the shape I liked, so I had grown them out, but they looked messyㅠㅠ I wanted to get them cared for right away. ![Condition of my nails before nail care](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-14-5sd3u-900.webp) They started with basic care. We decided on the length and shape together, and they looked after everything so kindly. Even the basic care was meticulous and delicate, so there was not a single painful or uncomfortable moment. ![Basic nail care process](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-15-1j3s2-900.webp) ![Nail care to decide the length and shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-16-1u3db-900.webp) My nails have a slightly yellowish cast, so whenever I wore a sheer color, my nails stood out and it was always a concern. When I mentioned it, they applied another color underneath and evened out the tone for me. ![Nail appointment to balance nail tone](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-17-jx9i3-900.webp) ![Nail process with an additional color applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-18-1prhh-900.webp) ![Nail design before the ribbon art](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-19-1hujs-900.webp) ## Hand-painted ribbon art, complete Ribbon charms are big and heavy, so they painted the ribbons by hand instead. Honestly, I found the hand-painted version cuter than the charms and liked it even more!! They drew the tiny details so well. ![Hand-painted ribbon nail art](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-20-h79v4-900.webp) ![Cute ribbon nail design](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-21-1pjc5-900.webp) Isn’t the finished set so pretty? I asked for something that felt halfway between vacation and the coming autumn, and I am so happy with how it turned out. ![Finished nails with a vacation-and-autumn feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-22-1ove6-900.webp) ![Finished nails with ribbon art](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-23-nspjv-1200.webp) They checked with me throughout about the colors and art and worked so carefully, while we even had a cozy little chat. I do not think it took even an hour in total. Their hands are seriously fast ㅠ.ㅠ It finished earlier than I expected, which made me even happier~ Looking through the art options, there were many designs from ₩49,000 to ₩89,000, but monthly art starting at ₩49,000 in Hongdae seems like such good-value nails. They also offer a ₩5,000 discount through the review event, so give it a try. For an affordable, good-value nail appointment in Hongdae, they were so kind and detail-oriented that I think I understand why Byuazeu has a 90% return-visit rate~ ![After my nail appointment at Byuazeu Hongdae Nail](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz-24-9kyfu-900.webp) ## Where it is - Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare (뷰아즈 홍대 네일 속눈썹 스킨케어) - 19 Hongik-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 홍익로2길 19 1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 홍익로2길 19 1층 - 37.5545302, 126.9237929 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B7%B0%EC%95%84%EC%A6%88%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%20%EB%84%A4%EC%9D%BC%20%EC%86%8D%EB%88%88%EC%8D%B9%20%EC%8A%A4%ED%82%A8%EC%BC%80%EC%96%B4/@37.5545302,126.9237929,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@lipstick-lunch-break/hongdae-nail-ribbon-art-vuaz/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
