Chinese young travelers are increasingly visiting Korea for one-day beauty experiences—so-called 'Beauty Day'—that pack personal color diagnosis, hair and makeup styling, and professional ID-photo shoots into a short trip. Personal color analysis (a system classifying skin and hair into spring/summer/autumn/winter types) is the most popular service, costing about 200–800 CNY. Many visitors come without makeup and show reference photos to Korean stylists, praising their skill and the competitive prices compared with China. Some even book salons linked to K-pop celebrities for a higher-end transformation. The trend reflects a shift from medical tourism to recovery-free beauty experiences, fueled by K-pop and K-drama influence, and is expected to grow among young Chinese travelers.
