💡 The latest tips to save money in 2026
Since January 2026, the VAT refund policy for Korean beauty treatments has been abolished, but that doesn’t mean there are no ways to save money:
- Take advantage of low exchange rates: Convert money into KRW when the exchange rate is favorable; you can save 3–5% compared to using a credit card.
- Get early-bird discounts through BeautsGO: Some clinics offer 5–10% discounts when reservations are made through BeautsGO.
- Negotiate package deals: If you schedule more than one treatment at the same clinic, you can usually get a 15–20% discount.
- Book on weekdays instead of weekends: Weekdays tend to be less busy, and some clinics offer discounts during this time.
