That's how I ended up at Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare! Hongdae has so many beauty shops packed into one area that it's genuinely hard to decide where to go, but this place impressed me overall with thorough basic care and a wide range of designs, so here's my honest review. ![Byuazeu building entrance and sign on Hongikro 2-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-03-1bbl9-900.webp) ## Where is Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare, and how do you get there? Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare is located on the 1st floor of 19 Hongikro 2-gil, near Hongdae's main street, so it was easy to get to by public transport. The shop's sign was clearly visible right from the building entrance, so I could head straight up without wandering around. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants around here but had no idea there was a nail salon nearby too. The location is genuinely convenient — happy about that! ![Interior of Byuazeu shop with white-toned decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-04-1oovu-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged nail treatment space](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-05-1wayi-900.webp) ## Nails, lashes and skincare in one shop: inside Byuazeu Walking in, the white-toned interior gave off a calm yet clean feeling! Byuazeu is a total beauty shop running not just nails but also lash extensions, lash perms, and skincare, and the space was clearly and systematically divided by service. Toward the back, there's a separate area with beds for private treatments, so the flow inside felt uncluttered and comfortable. ![Private bed area inside the Byuazeu shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-06-1l6go-900.webp) ![Space with beds set up for lash and skincare treatments](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-07-yzh1m-900.webp) ![Interior layout of Byuazeu nail salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-08-ncr99-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the Byuazeu shop space](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-09-1xrxe-900.webp) ![Treatment table at Byuazeu Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-10-zbohs-900.webp) ![Decor and display items inside the nail salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-11-f1zge-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of a corner of the Byuazeu shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-12-6kjar-m-900.webp) ![Waiting area at the Byuazeu nail salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-13-119xh-900.webp) ![Shop scene with a complimentary drink prepared](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-14-7ku36-900.webp) They also let me pick a free drink, and I chose a Vita Power! Little touches like this are really nice. You often get thirsty halfway through a nail appointment, so this was a great call. ![The complimentary Vita Power drink received](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-15-ia4zl-1200.webp) ## How much is monthly art at Byuazeu? The ₩59,000 line The design I chose at Byuazeu was the monthly art from the ₩59,000 line. While getting the basic care done, I took my time looking over the monthly art board to decide on a design — the range went from lovely, girly styles to simple art, and the selection was pretty wide. For this level of design detail in Hongdae at a price in the ₩50,000s, it really felt like great value for money. It was a well-put-together option for chasing a trendy look without spending too much 🧡 ![The monthly art design board at Byuazeu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-16-10kmu-900.webp) ![Sample design from the ₩59,000 monthly art line](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-17-sxa5g-966.webp) ## Cuticle care and shaping at Byuazeu, fast enough for a lunch break Before the actual gel application, basic cuticle removal and shape trimming were done first. I've been to many nail salons, and sometimes when the basic care isn't done properly, the cuticles end up looking messy and unfinished — but Byuazeu took such careful care that my fingertips looked clean right away! From the basic care to the way the surface was evenly shaped, I could feel the skilled touch. The technician's hands were especially fast, which is exactly why I could squeeze this into my short lunch break. ![Cuticle removal and shape trimming in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-18-1qrgq-900.webp) ![A hand mid-way through gel nail application](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-19-jr3kn-900.webp) ![The finished gray-colored monthly art gel nails](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-20-1e086-900.webp) ## The finished gray monthly art nails, done in 40 minutes And here are the finished nails! The design, built around a calm gray color, felt overall not overdone — simple and chic. It was exactly the style I wanted. What I liked most about this kind of nail is that the muted saturation doesn't feel tied to a season and blends naturally with any outfit. The finish at the tips was also done well, so I think it'll hold up nicely over time. If you're looking for a sensibly priced, stylish gel nail place in Hongdae, or a thorough, fast-handed Hongdae nail salon, this could be worth a visit! I can't sit still for long, so speed matters a lot to me — and since the technician's hands were so quick, the old gel removal plus the monthly art took about 40 minutes total!!! ![Close-up of nails finished in gray tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-21-1mapt-900.webp) ## Ttureu, the shop dog at Byuazeu And there was also an adorable shop dog named Ttureu at Byuazeu! Maybe because she loves people, she kept bringing over toys wanting to play! So cute!!! 🥰 ![The shop dog Ttureu met at the salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz-22-11loe-m-900.webp) I recommend Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare for good-value nails and solid gel work in Hongdae! There was also a wide variety of pretty monthly art designs to choose from according to taste. ## Where it is - Byuazeu Hongdae Nail, Lashes & Skincare (뷰아즈 홍대 네일 속눈썹 스킨케어) - 19 Hongikro 2-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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/@meal-between-stops/hongdae-nail-grey-monthly-art-vueaz/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
