1. SuSu The Nails Story
Best for: Nail art, jelly nails, and matching your inspo picture
SuSu is the most talked-about nail salon at Far East Plaza right now, and the reputation is earned. The team here is known for matching inspo photos with remarkable accuracy, which is exactly what you want when you come in with a specific vision.
Their jelly nails, in particular, have built a loyal following. The glossy, almost liquid-looking finish is harder to execute than it looks, and SuSu pulls it off consistently. Every session includes cuticle care and nail shaping, and there is a free touch-up within seven days if anything chips.
Book ahead. Walk-ins are taken but this place fills up fast, especially on weekends.
Location: #04-83, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure from $20, design sets from $88 Opening hours: Daily, 11am to 9pm Contact: +65 8800 1848 Instagram: @susuthenailsstory Best for: Nail art lovers, first-timers wanting something special.
2. Nail Queen
Best for: Luxury finish and a no-pressure experience
Nail Queen occupies three connected units on the fifth floor and is one of the most established names in the building. The team is large enough that wait times are short, but the level of care each technician takes is anything but rushed.
Clients consistently highlight the meticulous work, the clean environment, and the fact that they are never pushed into packages or upsells. They also offer a 10-day fix guarantee, meaning if your gel lifts or chips within that window, they will sort it at no charge.
Beyond manicures and pedicures, Nail Queen offers hand and foot spa treatments and body waxing, making it a solid one-stop visit if you need more than just nails done.
Location: #05-18/19/20, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Classic gel manicure from $25, spa packages available Opening hours: Daily, 10:30am to 9pm Contact: +65 8742 5789 Website: nailqueen.sg · Instagram: @nailqueenfep Best for: Those who want a polished, pressure-free experience.
3. July Nails
Best for: Korean-inspired nail designs
July Nails is a go-to for Singaporeans who follow Korean nail trends closely. The salon does clean, minimal, editorial-style designs well, and the technicians are practised in the kind of quiet precision that Korean nail styles demand.
If you are after something understated but carefully executed, chrome finishes, gradient gel, or subtle 3D accents, July is one of the better choices in the building. The salon runs by appointment, so walk-ins can sometimes wait, but the quality justifies planning ahead.
Location: #05-120, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure and pedicure from $25 each Opening hours: Wednesday to Monday, 11am to 8pm (closed Tuesdays) Contact: +65 8815 8866 Instagram: @julynailssg Best for: Korean nail design fans, minimal and editorial styles.
4. Finger Bar + Studio
Best for: Budget-friendly quality with no hard sell
Finger Bar is tucked away on the upper floors, which means it does not get the foot traffic of the ground-level spots. That is the building’s loss and your gain. The salon is one of the most competitively priced at Far East Plaza, with gel manicures starting at $18, and the quality is consistently praised in reviews.
What sets it apart is the culture. There is no hard sell, no pressure to buy a package, and no upselling mid-session. The nail art team here is strong, with up to four specialist nail artists on the floor at any given time. For the price point, the finish and retention are genuinely impressive.
Location: #04-32 / #05-83, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure from $18, gel pedicure from $25 Opening hours: Daily, 10:30am to 8:30pm Contact: +65 8161 3322 Best for: Budget-conscious regulars, nail art without the premium price tag.
5. Colour Workshop Nails
Best for: Reliable regulars and a wide colour range
Colour Workshop has been a fixture at Far East Plaza for years. It has two units in the building, which means faster availability and more flexibility for walk-ins. The salon is well-regarded for consistency: you get the same quality visit after visit, which is exactly what you want from a regular nail appointment.
The colour selection is extensive, and the pricing is honest. It is not the most trend-forward salon in the building, but if you know what you want and want it done well, Colour Workshop delivers every time.
Location: #04-101 / #05-37, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure from $20 Contact: +65 9146 4373 Instagram: @colourworkshop Best for: Regulars, walk-ins, straightforward gel sets.
6. Hanami Beauty
Best for: Combining nails, lashes, and skin in one visit
Hanami is one of the few salons at Far East Plaza that offers nails, lashes, and skin treatments under one roof. If you are short on time and want more than just a manicure sorted, this is the most efficient option in the building.
The nail work is solid, and the team is well-reviewed for their lash extensions in particular. First-timers sometimes find the layout a little hard to navigate in the Far East Plaza maze, so search for the unit number before heading up.
Location: #03-141 / #03-19, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure from $20, gel pedicure from $30 Opening hours: Daily, 11am to 9pm Contact: +65 8355 0615 Instagram: @hanamibeautynails Best for: Multi-service visits, nails and lashes in one sitting.
7. Nailedittttt
Best for: Families, walk-ins, and hard gel options
Nailedittttt on the second floor is one of the most accessible salons in the building, both in terms of location and atmosphere. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the team is patient, and the kid-friendly environment makes it a solid pick if you are bringing children along.
For those interested in hard gel nails, which offer more strength and durability than soft gel, Nailedittttt is one of the few spots at Far East Plaza that does them well. Pricing is transparent and there are no unpleasant surprises at checkout.
Location: #02-19, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road Price range: Express gel manicure from $22 Best for: Families, hard gel, relaxed walk-in visits.
Tips Before You Go
Book ahead for nail art. Salons like SuSu and July Nails fill their art slots fast. Walk-ins are fine for express gel, but if you have a design in mind, booking a day or two ahead saves you the disappointment of being turned away.
Bring your inspo pictures. The more specific you are, the better the result. A screenshot is always clearer than a description. If you need some starting inspiration, these 10 CNY nail designs we featured earlier are a good place to browse design styles, even outside the festive season.
Factor in removal. If you are coming with an existing gel set, add 15 to 30 minutes and a small additional charge for removal. Ask about this when booking so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting there. Far East Plaza is at 14 Scotts Road, a three-minute walk from Orchard MRT (NS22/TE14). The building entrance is on Scotts Road, just off the Orchard Road intersection.
