Daegu Recommendations

I’m often asked to recommend various doctors, businesses and motels here in Daegu.   Instead of repeating each time, I have pooled together my most frequently asked recommendations in this blog.   Most of my recommendations are located in Suseong-gu or downtown Daegu.

With all these places, I would really appreciate if you could tell them that I referred you (except the motel).  Just tell them that Amanda 아만다 recommended you. I’m not doing it for discounts or whatnot, just want to show them that the expat community has a lot of power in our word-of-mouth.

Laser Hair Removal in Daegu

TL;DR

What?  Laser hair removal.
Where?  Joseph Skin.  Downtown Daegu. 11th floor of Lotte Cinema. 
When?  M-F open until 7:30pm.  Saturdays until 5pm.  
Why?  General dermatological care & dermatological procedures
How?  5 treatments (one month apart)
How much?  50,000-100,000 won per treatment (for happy trail/bikini line)

So as English teachers in Korea, we are lucky enough to have a somewhat disposable income, free time, and access to medical procedures at a fraction of the cost.
