How to choose a nail salon

  • Watch the tools: files and buffers should be new or single-use, and metal tools should come out of a sterilisation pouch or steriliser, not a jar.
  • Ask how gel is removed. Soaking or careful filing protects the nail plate; aggressive drilling or peeling causes thinning.
  • Compare like for like: "express" usually skips cuticle work, while "classic" includes shaping and cuticle care.
  • Pay per visit or buy only small packages; beauty businesses topped CASE's complaint list in 2025.
  • Home-based studios can be good value, but confirm the address, cancellation rules and payment method in writing.

Red flags

  • Reused files, buffers or foot-spa tubs that are not cleaned between customers.
  • Cutting cuticles deep enough to draw blood.
  • Unlisted add-ons appearing on the bill (gel removal, art, "long nail" surcharges).
  • Pressure to buy multi-session packages on your first visit.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is gel removal included, and how do you remove it?
  • How do you sterilise metal tools between customers?
  • What does the classic manicure include compared with express?
  • Is there a fix period if the gel chips within a few days?

Questions about nail salons in Singapore

How much is a gel manicure in Singapore?

Most neighbourhood and mall salons charge $23–54 for a classic gel manicure that includes shaping and cuticle care, while express gel manicures start around $25–30. Gel pedicures cost roughly $25–40, and nail art usually adds $20 or more depending on the design. Central or premium salons sit at the top of the range.

Do nail salons in Singapore need a licence?

There is no specific licence for nail services, and manicures and pedicures are listed by the Police as services with no massage component, so they do not need a massage establishment licence. That means hygiene standards depend on the salon, so check how tools are cleaned before you book.

How long does a gel manicure last?

Gel polish typically lasts two to three weeks before regrowth or lifting shows. Many salons offer a short fix period if the gel chips within a few days. Have gel removed properly by soaking rather than peeling it off, which strips layers of the nail plate.

Are nail salon packages safe to buy?

Packages carry the risk of losing unused sessions if the salon closes. CASE recorded 2,113 beauty-industry complaints in 2025, with about two in five involving prepayment losses from sudden closures. Keep packages small, pay by credit card, and favour CaseTrust-accredited beauty businesses, which must insure prepayments.
