Guest User2025-11-09
There aren't many reviews, so I'm leaving one. They have a lot of pretty cheongsam clothes, and the makeup artist is really quick and precise. They quickly find styles and accessories that suit me, and they even made my hair look thicker and gave me earrings even though my ears aren't pierced. It seems like this place isn't well known in Korea, but I highly recommend it!★

A very good show; we had a great time. The description says the staff speaks English, which is false. So ordering extras and drinks was difficult. Be aware that some seats are behind a pillar.★
