Review Hanbok Rental with Korean Hairstyling at Hanboknam Gyeongbokgung

This is my personal review, together with my wife on 15th Feb 2026 (Sunday) for 'Themed' hanbok & '4 hours' pass type. We have decided to engage with their professional photographer as an additional services, but of course with an extra fees, which i feel it's more worthwhile & strongly recommended to all who wishes to do phototaking in hanbok attire. Our photograper, Mr Taekwon Kang is very spontaneous, he who knows all & what he's done for both of us as couple on how to act & pose in differently to all places & locations inside the Palace. And he loves to take our photos romantically & requested us to kiss in almost every photographs. I thought that was cheeky but in a very good positive way in which me & wife were smiling & laughing at times. Back to the Hanboknam shop, the staffs who served us had patiently helped us with sincerity & dedication although they were all very busy serving to all the customers. Therefore, I would like to say thank you very much for everything.

about a 1 minute walk from exit 4 of Line 3 subway, just look for the yellow signed building. Straight away you scan your klook voucher, then exchange your passport for a locker key at the main counter. Ipstairs are where all the hanboks are. There's lots of choice. I upgraded my hanbok type and hair easily. There's lots of helpers as it was busy first thing in the morning. They all speak multi languages. I was able to enter Gyeongbokgung Palace for free and take lots of photos. I even got to see the change of guards outside the main gate. I recommend going early to get first choice of the hanbok, although when I've been late in the afternoon it's a bit less busy.

convenient to get to the location. not much choices for men’s hanbok. lots of choices for the ladies. redemption was easy and fuss free. staffs were friendly. there are 3 types of hairstyles to pick for free. designs of the hanboks were delicate and pretty.

very easy to use. booked this a day before we went to gyeongbokgung palace. the staffs were very helpful and they will let you choose the hanbok you wanted and they will even assist you in making sure you wore them correctly.

The hanboks are clean and well maintained. the staff was also very helpful in picking out the hanbok for you. The premium line definitely felt very premium. The shop was also close to the train station and the palace which is great.

I was overwhelmed by my 1st Hanbok Experience here. The staff did their best to serve us. I bet the staff was out of hand to serve so many of other tourist on the day. From the outfit to the hair styling process, it's almost a chef kiss experience(need to wait in a long line for hairstyle). Anyway, the palace was majestic. I'm drawn into their historical vibes. I really love the experience. I even tried the 2nd hanbok after the 1st one in the afternoon. I'm just can't get enough of it and the Gyeongbukgyung was so massive. I'm definitely will be back to Korea for another hanbok experience again!!

It’s a must experience in Seoul, be able to wear the traditional hanbok. we availed the themed hanboks. The shop is within walking distance from the Gyeonbukjong palace. so many hanbok to choose from. better to arrive early as it gets crowded. simple hairdo is included but I availed an upgraded hairdo for additional 3000 won. i also rented bag for 2000 won. please bring a passport because you need to deposit it. please make sure to be back within the time recommended to return the costume. if you wear hanbok in gyeongbukjong palace and national museum, entrance ticket to the said places are already free… highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The entire experience was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. The transaction process was straightforward and hassle-free, making it easy to check in and get started with the activity. What made the experience even better was the attentive assistance provided throughout every step. There was always someone available to guide and help, from locating and using the key locker to selecting and fitting the hanbok, as well as styling the hair to complete the traditional look.

The staff were friendly, patient, and accommodating, ensuring that everything fit comfortably and looked perfect. The hanbok collection featured a wide variety of stunning designs, colors, and styles, making it easy to find one that matched personal preferences.

I thoroughly enjoyed this activity and found it to be one of the highlights of my trip.

We went for Hanboknam Premium for 2 hrs package. The shop is easy to find, 5-10mins walk to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Their Hanboks are well-made, the staff are accomodating and we love our hair (please see the photos). I did winter hanbok with them in 2025 with my fam, now its my 2nd time to do spring hanbok with my friend Apr 2026. Totally recommend if you wanted a Hanbok experience for your Korea trip.

The staffs are very helpful. We enjoyed our hanbok dress up. It was also easy to find and near gyeongbokgung palace. I will recommend this place to all my friends.
