Best Nail Salons in Singapore

Table of Contents

    Singapore’s nail salon scene has grown considerably over the past decade, with dozens of salons now operating across the island’s central business districts, heartland malls, and neighbourhood shophouses. Getting a manicure or pedicure here is no longer a luxury reserved for special occasions — many Singaporeans book regular appointments as part of their grooming routines, and the quality of work expected has risen accordingly.

    The salons listed here were selected based on verified client ratings, volume of reviews, service range, accessibility, and operating hours. Where ratings appear in this guide, they reflect aggregated scores from public review platforms at the time of writing. A mix of standalone boutiques, multi-branch chains, and specialist studios are included to reflect the range of options available across different budgets and neighbourhoods.

    Whether you are after a quick gel polish refresh in the CBD during a lunch break, a full set of press-on nails, or a relaxed weekend pampering session, the fifteen salons below cover most needs. They are ranked with overall quality, rating consistency, and client experience in mind.

    1. Nail Bliss – MBLM

    Consistently top-rated nail salon with 255 reviews and a 4.8-star average

    Nail Bliss MBLM has built a strong reputation across Singapore’s nail salon circuit, backed by 255 client reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5. That kind of consistency across a substantial review volume points to reliable service delivery rather than a handful of enthusiastic early reviewers.

    The salon is part of the Nail Bliss group, which operates multiple locations across Singapore. MBLM clients frequently cite the quality of finishes, attentive technicians, and a clean, well-maintained environment. The booking experience is straightforward, and the salon handles both walk-ins and appointments depending on availability.

    Services cover manicures, pedicures, gel polish, and nail extensions. Given the rating and review depth, this is one of the more dependable options in the city for clients who want quality without guesswork.

    Pros

    • 4.8-star rating across 255 reviews — strong consistency
    • Part of an established multi-location group
    • Broad service menu covering manicures, pedicures, and extensions
    • Positive client feedback on technician skill and finish quality

    Cons

    • Popularity means appointment slots can fill quickly
    • Pricing may sit above budget-tier salons

    Best for: Clients who prioritise proven quality and consistent service over multiple visits

    2. The Buff’d Nail Spa

    Extended weekend hours and a broad service menu across 200-plus reviews

    The Buff’d Nail Spa holds a 3.9-star rating across more than 200 reviews, which reflects a solid mid-range standing in a competitive market. The salon is part of the Pixie Nail Spa Group, giving it access to group-level resources while maintaining its own distinct identity and location presence.

    One of its practical advantages is extended weekend hours, which suits clients who cannot book during the working week. The service range covers standard manicures, pedicures, gel polish, and nail treatments, making it a versatile choice for a range of grooming needs.

    The 3.9-star average suggests a generally positive experience, though some client feedback points to variability depending on technician allocation. Booking in advance and requesting a familiar technician where possible is likely to produce the most consistent results.

    Pros

    • Extended weekend operating hours
    • Backed by the Pixie Nail Spa Group structure
    • Over 200 reviews providing a reasonable sample of client experience
    • Accessible service range across manicures, pedicures, and treatments

    Cons

    • 3.9-star rating is solid but below many competitors in this guide
    • Some variability in experience reported depending on technician

    Best for: Clients who need weekend availability and a reliable all-round nail spa

    3. Nail Lover | Press-On Nails Singapore Salon

    Singapore’s dedicated press-on nail specialist with a 4.9-star rating

    Nail Lover occupies a specific niche in Singapore’s nail market: press-on nails. Rather than offering the full traditional salon menu, this studio focuses on custom and semi-custom press-on nail sets, which appeal to clients who want nail art without the chemical exposure of acrylics or gels, or who want a faster, more removable option.

    The salon carries a 4.9-star rating, which is among the highest in this guide, and extended weekday hours make it accessible for working clients. Press-on nails have a growing following in Singapore, particularly among clients who travel frequently or prefer flexibility in how they wear nail enhancements.

    Bookings are handled through Fresha, a standard salon booking platform that allows clients to select services and times without needing to call ahead. The specialist focus means the team’s skill in this area is likely deeper than a generalist salon offering press-ons as a secondary service.

    Pros

    • 4.9-star rating from verified client reviews
    • Specialist focus on press-on nails rather than a generic menu
    • Extended weekday hours for working clients
    • Online booking available through Fresha

    Cons

    • Not suitable for clients seeking traditional gel, acrylic, or pedicure services
    • Niche focus means fewer options for clients wanting a full-service salon experience

    Best for: Clients who want custom press-on nail sets or prefer non-chemical nail enhancements

    4. Enchanted Nails Salon

    Highly regarded neighbourhood salon with consistent 4.9-star client satisfaction

    Enchanted Nails Salon holds a 4.9-star rating from its client base, placing it among the top-rated independent salons in this guide. The salon maintains an active Instagram presence, which gives prospective clients a clear visual reference for the style and quality of work produced before booking.

    The Instagram-based booking and discovery approach is common among Singapore’s boutique nail studios, where visual portfolios do more persuasive work than written descriptions. For clients who are particular about nail art styles and want to vet a technician’s aesthetic range, this is a useful feature.

    Services are expected to cover the standard salon range including gel manicures, nail art, and extensions. The high rating suggests strong client retention, which is typically a reliable indicator of consistent quality across different appointments and technicians.

    Pros

    • 4.9-star rating reflecting high client satisfaction
    • Active Instagram portfolio for previewing work quality and styles
    • Strong repeat client base suggested by rating consistency

    Cons

    • Instagram-based discovery may not suit clients who prefer more formal booking systems
    • Limited publicly available information on pricing and full service range

    Best for: Clients who prioritise nail art quality and want to preview a salon’s style before booking

    5. Juup Nails

    Accessible neighbourhood nail salon with extended weekday availability

    Juup Nails operates with extended weekday hours and maintains a presence across multiple areas of Singapore, making it a practical option for clients who value accessibility over prestige. The salon manages its bookings and client communication through Facebook, which keeps the process informal and direct.

    The 3.1-star rating is the lowest in this guide, which is worth noting. A score at this level typically reflects mixed client experiences rather than a consistently strong offering. Prospective clients may find the service adequate for basic treatments, but those seeking guaranteed quality in nail art or extensions may want to weigh this against higher-rated alternatives.

    That said, pricing and accessibility may make Juup Nails a reasonable choice for clients in the areas it serves who need a quick, straightforward appointment without the premium pricing of boutique studios.

    Pros

    • Extended weekday hours for flexible scheduling
    • Accessible across multiple Singapore locations
    • Facebook-based booking keeps communication direct and low-friction

    Cons

    • 3.1-star rating is the lowest in this guide and reflects inconsistent client feedback
    • Not recommended for clients seeking specialised nail art or high-finish extensions

    Best for: Clients in nearby areas who need a convenient appointment for basic nail services

    6. Nail Bliss CIMB Plaza

    Central Singapore nail salon in CIMB Plaza with a 4.7-star rating

    Nail Bliss CIMB Plaza is one of the group’s CBD-facing locations, positioned to serve the working professionals who populate the surrounding office towers at lunch and after work. It carries a 4.7-star rating, consistent with the group’s other branches and reflecting the standard of service that has made Nail Bliss one of Singapore’s better-known nail chains.

    The CIMB Plaza location offers manicures, pedicures, and nail art in a setting suited to quick but well-executed appointments. The CBD positioning means efficiency is built into the service model — clients here are often working to lunch-hour or post-work schedules, and the team is accustomed to managing that pace.

    For clients working in the Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar area, this branch provides a reliable and conveniently located option without needing to travel to a mall or suburban studio.

    Pros

    • 4.7-star rating consistent with the broader Nail Bliss group standard
    • Central CBD location in CIMB Plaza
    • Suited to working professionals on time-constrained schedules
    • Full service range including manicures, pedicures, and nail art

    Cons

    • CBD location may attract higher pricing than suburban branches
    • Likely to be busiest during lunch hours, requiring advance booking

    Best for: CBD-based professionals looking for a dependable nail salon within walking distance of their workplace

    7. Nail Bliss One Raffles Place

    Reliable nail salon in One Raffles Place with a consistent 4.7-star track record

    The One Raffles Place branch of Nail Bliss sits in one of Singapore’s busiest commercial precincts, making it one of the most accessible locations in the group for CBD workers. Like its sibling branches, it holds a 4.7-star rating, which reflects the group’s consistent approach to service delivery across locations.

    Services here cover manicures, pedicures, and nail extensions, with the full Nail Bliss menu available. The Raffles Place MRT connection makes this branch easy to reach from virtually anywhere in Singapore, and the in-mall positioning provides the added convenience of combining a nail appointment with other errands.

    Clients who already visit other Nail Bliss branches will find a familiar standard of service here. For those new to the group, this location is a reasonable starting point given its central position and strong rating.

    Pros

    • 4.7-star rating across verified client reviews
    • Excellent transport connectivity via Raffles Place MRT
    • Full service range including manicures, pedicures, and nail extensions
    • Consistent group standards across all Nail Bliss branches

    Cons

    • High-traffic location means wait times without an appointment can be significant
    • CBD pricing applies

    Best for: Clients commuting through Raffles Place who want a trusted salon with good transport links

    8. The Nail Social – A Socially Conscious Salon

    Singapore nail salon with a social mission and a 4.9-star client rating

    The Nail Social stands apart from most salons in this guide by combining a professional nail service with a social employment model. The salon trains and employs women from marginalised communities, giving clients a reason to book beyond the quality of the manicure itself. The 4.9-star rating confirms that the social mission has not come at the expense of service quality.

    The salon has received positive coverage in Singapore media and maintains a clean, modern aesthetic that sits comfortably alongside the city’s boutique nail studios. Services include manicures, pedicures, and gel treatments, with the team trained to a professional standard across all offerings.

    For clients who want their spending to support a broader community purpose while still receiving a high-quality nail service, The Nail Social is one of the more compelling options in Singapore’s market.

    Pros

    • 4.9-star rating reflecting strong client satisfaction
    • Social employment model supports marginalised women in Singapore
    • Professional service quality that matches or exceeds boutique competitors
    • Well-maintained, welcoming salon environment

    Cons

    • Appointment availability can be limited given the demand and staffing model
    • May carry a slight premium over budget salons

    Best for: Clients who want a high-quality nail service from a salon with a meaningful social purpose

    Tanjong Pagar nail salon in International Plaza with a 4.8-star rating

    The International Plaza branch of Nail Bliss is located in Tanjong Pagar, one of Singapore’s most active after-work dining and entertainment precincts. It holds a 4.8-star rating, placing it slightly above the group’s other CBD branches and suggesting a strong local following among office workers in the area.

    The full Nail Bliss service range is available here, covering manicures, pedicures, gel polish, and nail extensions. Tanjong Pagar MRT access makes it convenient for clients travelling from other parts of the island, and the International Plaza location is well known and easy to find.

    The 4.8-star score across this branch puts it on par with the group’s flagship MBLM location, which is a meaningful data point for clients choosing between Nail Bliss branches based on location.

    Pros

    • 4.8-star rating, the highest among the CBD Nail Bliss branches
    • Convenient Tanjong Pagar location with MRT access
    • Full service menu across manicures, pedicures, gel, and extensions
    • Well-recognised building address, easy to locate

    Cons

    • Busy area means peak-hour appointment slots fill up fast
    • Older building environment at International Plaza may not suit all preferences

    Best for: Clients in the Tanjong Pagar area wanting a reliable, highly rated Nail Bliss branch

    10. Julia Beauty Nail Salon Chinatown

    Chinatown nail salon with a 4.9-star rating and consistent weekend hours

    Julia Beauty Nail Salon in Chinatown holds a 4.9-star rating and is well regarded among clients in the central area. The salon maintains consistent weekend hours, which makes it a practical option for clients who prefer to schedule nail appointments on Saturdays or Sundays when work commitments are out of the way.

    The Chinatown location puts it within reach of clients from multiple central Singapore areas, and the surrounding precinct offers easy access by MRT from most parts of the island. The salon’s website provides additional information on services and pricing, giving clients the transparency to plan ahead.

    The 4.9-star score places Julia Beauty among the top-rated salons in this guide, and the combination of location, hours, and rating makes it one of the stronger all-round options for clients in the central region.

    • Reliable weekend operating hours
    • Central Chinatown location with strong MRT access
    • Dedicated website with service information available

    11. 3AN Nail Salon

    Daily nail salon open from 11am to 9pm with a 4.9-star rating

    3AN Nail Salon holds a 4.9-star rating and operates daily from 11am to 9pm, one of the more generous hour spans in this guide. That daily availability without a closure day is a practical advantage for clients whose schedules do not align with standard Monday-to-Saturday salon hours.

    The salon’s Instagram presence (under the Bijoux Nail Studio account linked from the listing) gives prospective clients a visual window into the quality of nail art and gel work produced. Services cover manicures and nail art, with the extended hours suggesting a high appointment volume and strong repeat client activity.

    • Strong repeat client base indicated by rating consistency

    Cons

    • Instagram-linked booking may not suit clients preferring a formal booking system
    • Service menu details require direct enquiry

    Best for: Clients who need flexible daily booking times and want a consistently rated nail art salon

    12. FE The Nail Lounge

    Singapore nail lounge with a 4.9-star rating backed by nearly 1,000 client reviews

    FE The Nail Lounge carries a 4.9-star rating across 958 reviews, making it one of the most review-rich entries in this guide. A rating maintained at 4.9 across nearly a thousand clients is a meaningful signal of sustained service quality, not just a strong run from a small pool of early reviewers.

    Extended weekday hours make FE accessible for clients working standard office schedules, and bookings are handled through SimplyBook, a widely used appointment platform that allows clients to manage their booking online without needing to contact the salon directly. The lounge format suggests a more relaxed, sit-down experience than a quick-service nail bar.

    For clients who use review volume as a proxy for reliability, FE The Nail Lounge ranks among the most credible choices in Singapore’s nail salon market.

    Pros

    • 4.9-star rating across 958 client reviews, one of the largest review samples in this guide
    • Online booking available via SimplyBook
    • Extended weekday hours for working clients
    • Lounge-style environment suited to longer, more relaxed appointments

    Cons

    13. Nail Lab 11

    nail salons singapore
    Photo by RDNE Stock project on Pexels

    Perfect 5.0-star rated nail studio with 253 verified client reviews

    Nail Lab 11 holds a 5.0-star rating across 253 client reviews, which is the highest aggregate score in this guide. Maintaining a perfect score across more than 250 reviews is statistically uncommon and suggests an operation where client satisfaction is treated as a priority at every appointment, not just periodically.

    The studio operates through Instagram, where the portfolio of completed work is accessible to prospective clients. This is standard for Singapore’s high-end nail art studios, where the visual product is the primary selling point. Services are expected to include detailed nail art, gel, and extensions, with the level of skill required to maintain a 5.0 average pointing to a technically strong team.

    Clients who want the best-rated nail experience in Singapore based on verified review scores will find Nail Lab 11 at the top of the data. Booking via Instagram direct message or the linked profile is typical for boutique studios of this kind.

    Pros

    • 5.0-star rating across 253 verified reviews, the highest in this guide
    • Instagram portfolio provides a clear preview of work quality
    • Boutique studio focus suggests strong technical skill

    Cons

    • Instagram-based booking may not suit all clients
    • High demand from a perfect rating is likely to mean limited appointment availability
    • Boutique capacity means fewer concurrent bookings than larger salons

    Best for: Clients who want the highest-rated nail studio in Singapore based on verified client scores

    14. Hanah Nails

    Accessible Singapore nail salon with a 4.5-star rating and extended weekday hours

    Hanah Nails holds a 4.5-star rating and operates with extended weekday hours, giving working clients more flexibility around appointment times. The salon has a dedicated website and uses a referral-tracked URL structure suggesting active engagement with digital marketing channels and client acquisition.

    The 4.5-star score places Hanah Nails in solid mid-to-upper territory for Singapore nail salons. It is not the highest-rated in this guide, but client feedback generally reflects a reliable and professional experience across standard nail services.

    For clients who want a well-regarded salon without boutique studio pricing or the complexity of Instagram-only booking, Hanah Nails offers a practical and well-reviewed alternative across its accessible weekday schedule.

    Pros

    • 4.5-star rating reflecting consistent client satisfaction
    • Extended weekday hours for flexible scheduling
    • Dedicated salon website with booking capability
    • Suitable for a broad range of standard nail services

    Cons

    15. Nail County Millenia Walk

    Millenia Walk nail salon with a 4.5-star rating and extended weekly hours

    Nail County at Millenia Walk holds a 4.5-star rating and benefits from a location in one of Singapore’s more distinctive lifestyle malls, adjacent to the Marina Bay precinct. Extended hours across the week make it accessible for clients visiting the area for work, leisure, or hotel stays nearby.

    The salon’s website provides information on services and locations, and the Nail County brand has established a presence in Singapore’s nail market with a focus on consistent service delivery. Manicures, pedicures, and standard nail treatments form the core of the menu.

    The Millenia Walk setting suits clients who combine a nail appointment with shopping or dining in the Marina area, and the 4.5-star rating confirms a generally positive client experience across the location.

    Pros

    • 4.5-star rating from verified client reviews
    • Located in Millenia Walk with easy Marina Bay access
    • Extended hours across the week for scheduling flexibility
    • Dedicated brand website with service information

    Cons

    • Rating sits below the top-tier salons in this guide

    Who is the best nail salons in Singapore?

    Based on verified client ratings and review volume, Nail Lab 11 holds the highest score at a perfect 5.0 across 253 reviews. FE The Nail Lounge follows closely with a 4.9-star rating across 958 reviews, the largest review sample in this guide. Other top-rated options include Nail Lover (4.9 stars), The Nail Social (4.9 stars), Enchanted Nails Salon (4.9 stars), 3AN Nail Salon (4.9 stars), Julia Beauty Nail Salon Chinatown (4.9 stars), and the Nail Bliss group, which maintains strong 4.7 to 4.8-star averages across its CBD branches. The best salon for an individual client depends on location, service type, and budget, but the salons listed above represent the most consistently rated options in Singapore at the time of writing.

    How much does a nail salon cost in Singapore?

    Nail salon pricing in Singapore varies considerably by service type, salon tier, and location. A basic manicure at a neighbourhood salon typically starts from around SGD 15 to SGD 25. Gel manicures generally range from SGD 35 to SGD 65 depending on the salon. Nail art, extensions, and specialised treatments such as press-on nail sets tend to sit higher, with boutique studios in the CBD or lifestyle malls often pricing gel sets from SGD 60 upwards. Pedicure pricing follows a similar structure, with basic treatments from around SGD 25 and gel pedicures from SGD 45. Clients should confirm pricing directly with the salon before booking, as menu prices change and vary by specific service.

    How do I choose a nail salon in Singapore?

    nail salons singapore
    Photo by RDNE Stock project on Pexels

    Start with ratings and review volume. A salon with a high rating across a large number of reviews is more likely to deliver a consistent experience than one with fewer data points. Location and operating hours matter too, particularly for clients who need to book around work schedules or prefer weekend appointments. Check whether the salon has a visual portfolio available, either on Instagram or its website, especially if nail art quality is important to you. If you have a specific service in mind, such as press-on nails or extensions, look for salons that specialise in that area rather than a generalist salon offering it as a secondary service. Reading recent reviews rather than overall averages also helps identify any recent dips in quality or staffing changes.

    What should I look for in a nail salon?

    Hygiene is the most important factor. Tools should be sterilised between clients, and single-use files and buffers should be standard. A salon that uses autoclaved metal tools or disposable implements reduces the risk of nail infections. Beyond hygiene, look at the quality of finishing in the portfolio, particularly how clean the cuticle work is and how evenly gel polish is applied. Technician consistency matters for clients who return regularly, so it is worth asking whether you can request the same technician at each visit. Clear pricing before the service begins, a comfortable environment, and straightforward booking are all indicators of a professionally run operation.

    Are there good nail salons for small businesses in Singapore?

    Several salons in this guide are well suited to corporate accounts or group bookings for small business teams. The Nail Social, given its social employment model, is a popular choice for businesses that want their team bookings to support a community initiative. Nail Bliss, with multiple CBD locations, is practical for teams based in the Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar precincts who want to book a group session without travelling far from the office. For businesses looking to arrange client gifts or team events around nail appointments, contacting salons directly to discuss group rates and scheduling is the most reliable approach, as most salons handle corporate enquiries through direct communication rather than online booking systems.

    Singapore’s nail salon market offers a wide range of quality and specialisation, from boutique studios with perfect ratings and detailed nail art portfolios to convenient CBD branches suited to quick lunch-hour appointments. The fifteen salons in this guide represent the most consistently rated options across the island, and within that list there is a viable choice for most budgets, locations, and service preferences. Booking ahead, checking recent reviews, and confirming pricing before your appointment will go a long way towards ensuring a positive experience whichever salon you choose.
