The trained the staff well but it's usually younger females who seem to have zero interest in anything other than making daily sales. I usually don't interact but today I did. And the first thing I was shown when asking about something for dry skin was $140. I was like ummm yeah thanks. I did not come for that. I did leave with 2 face masks and a new facial starter kit and spent a whopping $24. One of the masks was an overnight Korean glass skin jawn. There is no parking but I would still return

Conveniently located by the B/D/F/M/Q/N/R/W trains right across the street. They sell the trendiest Korean makeup and skincare products. If you ever happen to see your favorite kpop idol promoting one of these brands, then I think there's a very high chance of seeing that brand's products being sold inside H Art. There're Q tips and disposable cotton rounds for you to swatch their products on your hands/face/lips. I like to come here and restock on my stash of tinted lip balms, blushes, and eyeshadow palettes from time to time. Very fast customer service from patient, friendly and helpful staff. Both cash and/or credit/debit card are accepted forms of payment.

Loving this shop right above HMart in Ktown!…read more Definitely a happy accident, since I was shopping at HMart for a drink and saw a sign for food court AND a K Beauty Shop! Located 2 short flights up, towards the back, you'll find yourself in a cozy K beauty shop offering a good size collection of products, from skin care to beauty items. It's organized and displays are clean - aesthetically pleasing! I finally bought the "Beauty of Joseon" to try... the sunscreen that was flooding my insta feed... like non-stop. (Good social team strategy I guess). I like how they let you browse w/o any intense sales pitch. That's a win for me I have a feeling it would get quite crowded if you go during peak times w the lunch crowd... so be aware; small shop. I hope they expand their product selection and can't wait to visit again!

I unfortunately did not get a good look around the store because of this, but I tried to check out what I could in the little time I had. I saw that they carried a nice variety of skincare and makeup in the store: some items were on the pricey end but they also had more affordable options available. The store was also very clean and well-kept. On my way out of the store, I spotted Nayeon's (a member of the popular kpop band, TWICE) adorable bunny hat for only $19. Many kpop stars have been wearing this hat, from IZ*ONE to Stray Kidz: I was estatic to see that this hat was being sold in Koreatown. I have received so many compliments on the hat too!

It almost feels like a micro version of Olive Young, which makes it fun to explore if you're into discovering new or hard-to-find items. However the layout is quite compact, and during my visit, it was very crowded--which made it a bit overwhelming to browse leisurely. The tight space combined with the crowd made it tricky to really take my time. At one point, a sales associate was restocking shelves in a tight space and didn't move or acknowledge me as I tried to look at products, which made the experience feel a bit unwelcoming. I also found that staff in general weren't very approachable or helpful, so it's best to come in knowing what you want. Still, if you happen to catch it during a quieter time, Kosette offers competitive pricing and some great deals, especially on popular Korean skincare and makeup. Definitely worth a stop if you're building your K-beauty collection and prefer to shop independently.

You can also find manga, movies, beauty products, many household products, and a huge collection of plushies. There is something for everyone here if you are looking for Asian products. And I find that their products are cheaper than similar stores.

The store itself was clean, well-organized, and lots to browse, with prices that felt on par with other cosmetic shops in the area. One thing I appreciated was how quiet it was compared to the trending beauty store just down the street. It was nice to explore at my own pace without the crowds. That said, the experience felt more self-serve, as the sales associate wasn't particularly welcoming or attentive during my visit. If you already know what you're looking for, it's a great little spot to pop into. Just don't expect much in the way of personalized help--but the product selection makes it worth checking out.

Right after they charged me, the order was canceled with the excuse that I had requested the cancellation, which is absolutely false. I never canceled anything. Since then, my money has been in dispute because: The company does not respond to emails. They only send automated messages saying someone will get in touch with me, but no one ever does. Meanwhile, MELIO claims that they already sent the money to the seller and is now asking me to either pay again or provide my card number so they can try to charge me again. Absolutely not! This is robbery. I should not have to lose my money like this. And who is going to compensate me for the damage? This situation is unacceptable. I have already reported this case to: My credit card company The Better Business Bureau The appropriate authorities here in California These two companies are working together to scam people.
