Hongdae nail salon silver wedding nails before dress fitting: Byuazeu

Hi everyone! I've been busy these days with wedding prep, and ahead of my dress fitting next week I realized my fingers looked kind of plain. So to complete a hand that would match a wedding dress, I finally got my nails done again after a long while ❣️ I found a total beauty shop near Hongdae with over 17 years of combined experience and seriously fast hands, and I want to tell you about Byuazeu, where my nails were done in just 30 minutes!

Where is Byuazeu Hongdae? Location, hours and parking

Byuazeu is on the 1st floor of 19 Hongik-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, a 4-minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station. It's open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, and reservations, pets, and Wi-Fi are all available. No parking, though.

This affordable Hongdae nail salon is a total beauty shop where you can get nails, lashes, and skincare all in one place. Being just 4 minutes on foot from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station makes it super accessible if you're getting around on foot 📍 There's no dedicated parking space for the shop, though.

It's a proven shop that's been running for 9 years since opening in 2018, with a repeat visit rate of over 90%.

Alright, let's go get our hands done~!

Inside Byuazeu Hongdae: waiting area and lash bed

The interior of Byuazeu is a clean white tone, with a small waiting area near the entrance. The nail art and pedicure seats, plus a lash-perm bed further inside, are all gathered in one space.

First, there was a small waiting area set up near the entrance. I arrived about 10 minutes early, so I waited a bit.

The chair was comfy, and I was grateful they told me I could help myself to drinks from the fridge while I waited ❤️

The interior is decorated in a clean white tone. There are spots set up for nail art and pedicures, plus a coat rack.

And further inside, there's even a bed for lash perms...! Being a total shop means you can get a full tune-up all in one visit — that's the big advantage 👍

One wall is packed full of appointment certificates and awards.

There's a huge variety of nail polish colors. There's also a restroom inside the shop, which was convenient.

Byuazeu price list and this month's art designs

Byuazeu's price list, true to a total shop, covers everything from nails to lashes to skincare, and scanning through it, everything looked reasonably priced 😍

And there were so~ many nail art designs, which I loved. The photo above shows this month's featured art design.

And the gorgeous nail art pinned up on the wall... so flashy and varied that there were so many pretty designs it was hard to choose.

Since my wedding dress selection day was coming up, I asked for silver-toned nails that would go well with a white dress.

Cuticle care to art in 30 minutes with designer Hanseul

At Byuazeu, I got silver-toned wedding nails from Hanseul, a designer with 9 years of experience, and it was done in 30 minutes from cuticle care to the final art.

I was worked on by Hanseul, who has 9 years of experience, and wow, her hands were seriously fast. Cuticle care to art done in 30 minutes flat ㄷㄷ Not just fast, either — she was incredibly thorough, so I could relax through the whole nail art session.

The finished silver wedding nails

Ta-da, isn't it gorgeous? A clear, subtle sparkle that goes perfectly with wearing a dress!!

Nails really are a must,,, my hands finally look bright and put-together, so I think I can head into my dress fitting in a good mood! 👰✨

This is an affordable, longtime staple nail salon in Hongdae with great accessibility, just 4 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station.
