Cheongdam skin care salon, facial with rubber mask: Clermont Monde

Clermont Monde (끌레르몽드) is a skin care salon on Dosan-daero 92-gil near Cheongdam Station in Gangnam, Seoul, set in a converted country house with a café-like feel across two floors. The writer booked a facial, and after a skin consultation it moved through cleansing, device sebum removal, an upper-body and face massage, an ultrasound device and a rubber mask, so it felt like a near full-body massage minus the legs. Verdict: Clermont Monde offers good value for everything included, and the writer would return whenever their body feels stiff and their skin needs attention.

Lash lift before the old curl drops in Gongdeok, Seoul: Iyo Shop

Iyo Shop is a one-person eyelash salon on the 2nd floor of a building with an Olive Young on the ground floor, a 5-minute walk from Gongdeok Station in Mapo, Seoul. This lash lift was booked before the previous curl had fully dropped, at the point where the lashes were starting to grow in different directions, and it reset them into a natural curl lifted from the roots. The owner of Iyo Shop does every treatment herself, 1:1, so it suits anyone who wants quiet lash care without crossing paths with other customers.

Jonggak facial for very dry skin and pores: DMTS at Beautae

Beautae Esthetic is a skin care salon on the 6th floor of the Hyoryeong Building at 32 Mugyo-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, a short walk from Jonggak Station. After a consultation about severely dry skin with visible pores and fine lines, the DMTS treatment ran through cleansing, needle ampoule injection and a calming pack. It felt almost too simple at the time, but makeup went on smoothly the next day and the pores looked less noticeable within 2-3 days.

Gireum Station brunch with Pokémon kids' cups: 37.5 Signature Mia

37.5 Signature Mia Branch is a brunch and pasta restaurant near Gireum Station in Seongbuk, Seoul, right behind Hyundai Department Store Mia. During kindergarten break the writer came with her 7-year-old son and ordered the signature myeongnan (pollack roe) oil pasta, clam pasta, a fresh strawberry cream latte and a zero-sugar cola, and the table came with children's tableware and a Pokémon-design water cup. Lightly seasoned oil pasta and fresh-fruit drinks made 37.5 Signature Mia Branch an easy return visit for one parent and one child.
