Question about "girly" stuff

Does anyone know of good, reputable (and hopefully, inexpensive or at least a bargain!) locations near Osan AFB for massages and pedicures?

I mean real massages, not "massages" - here in Texas, I have a massage club membership (one free massage every month), and it's such a wonderful luxury, I'm hoping there are some good spas nearby in Osan.

And I'm not often a real "girly girl" (not a high maintenance kind of gal) but I do like to get pedicures.

Thanks in advance, and I appreciate your experience and input!

Re: Question about "girly" stuff

I went to this place outside the gate, I wish I could think of the name of it, but it all purple. You go out the gate go straight to the Baskin Robbins and turn left. If it isn't on that corner the turn right and go down to the next block. It's really nice and not very expensive, a Korean frind took me there so I wasn't worried :)

Re: Question about "girly" stuff

I bought my wife a full body massage at the Dragon Hill Lodge in Yongsan. It was 1hr+ long, hot oil and the works, from what she said it was a complete massage and WELL worth $50.

Also, Renee has had a pedicure and foot massage at the Camp Humphreys beauty salon, again, well worth the $22.

Re: Question about "girly" stuff

I've had pedicures at the BX/PXs at Humphreys and Osan. It seems to me that sometimes they can be short staffed and you may end up with someone who doesn't completely know what they're doing. I had a gentleman who didn't know what he was doing at the Hump, but it turned out ok...just not spectacular. My pedi in Osan was done by a woman who seemed to know what she was doing but, she left slice marks on the bottoms of both of my feet when using the skin shaving tool (not sure what it's really called.) I'm not trying to discourage you from going to the BX because I think it depends on who you get. Personally, I'm going to try the one offpost (Humphreys) because I see a lot of American women going there and I haven't heard anything bad about it. Hope that helps:)

Which one near Humphreys are you going to go to? Do you know how much they charge?

I've never checked on the price. If you go out the walk thru gate and down into the ville it's on the right side. It's a little ways down and I can't remember the name of it I'm not helping much am I..lol. It's a nice looking place. If you walk down that side and just glance in the shops you'll see it for sure. It looks like a nail salon and they have big comfy chairs. If we get back to the ville this weekend I'll keep an eye out for the name of it.

Re: Question about "girly" stuff

I noticed on the osan services web site they boast about at spa that you can hop on a bus to called Chun Chun Hyang Spa. Has anyone ever been on this trip?
