| Service | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Express manicure (no gel) | S$10–S$20 per session |  |
| Express gel manicure | S$25–S$30 per session |  |
| Classic gel manicure | S$23–S$54 per session | Includes shaping, cuticle care and single-colour gel |

| Gel manicure + pedicure combo | S$45–S$58 per session |  |
| Nail art add-on | S$20–S$40 per set | Depends on design complexity |

## How to choose
- 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.

## FAQs
### 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.
