8 Best Nail Salons in Singapore: Latest Trends & Expert Manicures 2025

Singapore’s nail salon scene is absolutely thriving right now. Walk through any mall from Orchard to Tampines, and you’ll spot immaculate gel manicures, intricate Korean-inspired nail art, and perfectly polished nails everywhere. It’s no surprise—our humid tropical climate means we need nail treatments that actually last, and Singaporeans have developed incredibly high standards when it comes to hygiene, quality, and value.

Whether you’re after minimalist glass nails that’ll survive your daily commute on the MRT, bold 3D nail art for a special occasion, or a quick express gel mani during your lunch break at Raffles Place, Singapore has something for everyone. From luxury boutiques in Paragon to neighborhood favorites tucked away in HDB estates, the variety is impressive.

As we’ve been exploring Singapore’s beauty scene, we’ve discovered some incredible nail salons setting trends in 2025. We visited malls from Orchard to the East Coast, observed hygiene practices, tested services, and reviewed hundreds of customer experiences to bring you this definitive list. We looked at quality of work, technician training, sterilization protocols, product brands, customer reviews, value for money, and that intangible “feel” of a salon. The result? Ten standout nail salons that represent the best of what Singapore has to offer.
