Iyo Shop is a 1:1 lash lift and lash extension salon on the 2nd floor near Gongdeok Station Exit 3 in Mapo, Seoul. The writer's long lashes drooped downward, poked the eye and left glasses lenses smudged, so Iyo Shop did a nutrition + black tinting lash lift that curled even the inner-corner lashes most salons skip. Fast but meticulous work, and enough to make the writer want an under-lash perm next time.
Naeil Didi is a nail salon in Apgujeong Rodeo, Gangnam, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Exit 6 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station, with an unusually deep range of natural-tone colors. After comparing two color books and trying a test shade on the designer's recommendation, the writer chose a nude one-color the shade of a baked peach. Naeil Didi also handled cuticle care and nail nourishment in detail, making it a good pick for anyone after clean, natural-looking nails.
Oterre Namyeong is a one-person hair salon in Yongsan, Seoul, near Namyeong Station. A matte-brown tonedown color blended uneven permed lengths and root color naturally, with careful consultation from designer Lee Uinam. Verdict: a relaxing choice for a seamless autumn color refresh.
Protect Your Jeonse and Monthly Rent Deposit is a Korean rental-contract guide by Deokbang Yeonguso. I read it as a pre-contract checklist covering tenant protection, move-in registration and fixed dates, mortgages, brokerage assistants, and special clauses. A worthwhile read before looking for a jeonse or monthly rental.
Soul Weight Tarot Cards is a 78-card tarot deck from Korea written by tarot master Jeong Hoedo. After getting interested through YouTube tarot videos, I unboxed its modern illustrations, detailed guidebook, and sturdy storage box. Verdict: an approachable deck for first-time tarot users.
