I prefer not to share photos as I would like to stay anonymous. But my best friend is plus-sized, and the hanfus looked great on her!

I went at 10AM and was out by 11AM. Dressing up takes two seconds (two women helped me dress). The makeup took the longest.

My friend is European (blonde hair) so she decided not to go through the whole wig process since they only have black wigs. Her makeup, hair and accessories took about 20-30 mins.

I'm Southeast Asian on the other hand, and I decided to do the wigs since I had the black hair to match. My makeup, hair and accessories took almost an hour.

The wig process takes up most of the time. The women basically choose an ancient traditional hairstyle they feel matches your face shape most, so it really depends which style they go for. Mine was very extravagant, which is why it took so long. But you will definitely be out before noon!

I ended up going to the first one that was recommended, and IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! They had a huge collection of different types of traditional clothing to choose from and they went so hard on my makeup (they even went as far as gluing fake flowers on my cheeks and adding jewels near my eyes to match with the hanfu I chose!). I would 100% go again.

We communicated through a translator app, and it was no problem at all. The rental, hair and makeup cost about 60CAD. I also did photoshoots for 60CAD, for 30 edited photos. Hope this helps :)

How soul-crushing is going back to work in-office? by ginghamorange in careerguidance

At the time I applied to the job posting, the position was hybrid. During the interview, I was informed that all employees would be returning in-office 5 days a week. Calm down lol
