Some of the best nail, lash and brow work in Singapore does not happen in a mall. It happens in a quiet HDB flat or a condo unit, one client at a time, run by a single artist who has built a loyal following almost entirely on Instagram. No shopfront, no walk-ins, no big signage. Just a spotless little room, a real talent, and a WhatsApp thread.
The catch? These home-based studios are genuinely hard to find. They rarely rank on Google, they do not always have a website, and half the time you only hear about them because a friend showed you her nails. That is exactly the kind of hidden gem a discovery platform is built to surface.
We pulled together the best-rated home-based nail and lash studios across Singapore, from bridal nail art in Bidadari to brow embroidery in Serangoon North. Every studio below is a real, well-reviewed local business, sorted by how deep that following runs.
Here are the home studios worth booking.
What to expect from a home studio
Home studios trade the polish of a mall salon for something a lot of people prefer: privacy, a single artist who remembers your last set, and no rushed conveyor-belt feeling. Most are appointment-only, so you book ahead rather than dropping in, and many are women-owned solo operations.
A quick note on how to book them. Because these are private residences, the exact unit is usually shared only once your appointment is confirmed, and most take bookings by Instagram DM or WhatsApp rather than a live calendar. That is precisely the friction Glamingo smooths out: you send one booking request, and the artist confirms directly with you.
1. EILEEN NAILS
With a 4.9 star rating across more than a hundred reviews, EILEEN NAILS is one of the most established home-based nail names in Singapore. Eileen has been doing this full-time for years out of her private, air-conditioned Bidadari studio, and her reputation is built on detailed, hand-painted nail art and bridal sets.
Best for: bridal nails and detailed hand-painted nail art.
It is a females-only, appointment-only space, which is part of the appeal for regulars who want a calm one-on-one session rather than a busy salon. If you want your nails to be a talking point at the wedding, this is a safe pair of hands.

2. Be Kim Beauty
Be Kim Beauty holds a spotless 5.0 star rating across more than a hundred reviews, and its calling card is semi-permanent makeup. This is a home-based studio in Serangoon North focused on brow embroidery, with lip blush, eyeliner embroidery and lash work rounding out the menu.
Best for: brow embroidery and semi-permanent makeup.
Brow embroidery is the kind of treatment where you really want a steady, experienced hand, and a flawless rating over that many clients is about as reassuring as it gets. A strong pick if you are ready to wake up with brows already done.

3. Better Nails
Better Nails sits at 4.9 stars across around a hundred Google reviews, and founder Lan runs the whole thing solo from her Yishun home studio. She trained in Sydney nail salons before opening here, and the focus is clean, long-lasting gel work rather than gimmicks.
Best for: durable gel manicures and BIAB.
Better Nails deliberately does not do extensions, so if healthy, well-shaped natural nails are your thing, you are in the right place. It is one of the few home studios here that also takes real-time online booking, so locking a slot is refreshingly painless.

4. Hers Nails
Hers Nails has earned a perfect 5.0 star rating across dozens of reviews from its Woodlands home studio, and the draw is clearly the artistry. Regulars single out its creative nail art, from delicate watercolour designs to little 3D details you do not see everywhere.
Best for: creative, design-led nail art.
If you like turning up with a Pinterest board and walking out with something even better, this is the sort of place that says yes. A quiet, personal Woodlands studio that punches well above its size.

5. PEACH + SILK
PEACH + SILK is the polished pick of the bunch, with a 5.0 star rating across dozens of reviews from its Kaki Bukit home studio. Run by Tasha, it is a Brazilian sugaring and lash lift specialist with a proper website, published pricing and real-time booking already in place.
Best for: lash lifts, brow shaping and sugaring.
A lash lift here gives you that wide-awake, curled look without a scrap of daily effort, and pairing it with brow lamination is a popular one-visit combo. If you want a home studio that feels genuinely boutique, start here.

6. Happy Lash by Helen Beauty
Happy Lash by Helen Beauty holds a 4.9 star rating across dozens of reviews from its Buangkok home studio. Helen Dang is the artist behind it, and the whole operation is built around one thing done well: eyelash extensions.
Best for: natural-to-full lash extensions.
It is appointment-only and quietly personal, the sort of studio where you settle in, nap for an hour, and wake up to lashes that do the work of mascara for weeks. If you want a dedicated lash artist close to the northeast, Helen is a favourite.

7. LashBarSG
LashBarSG earns a perfect 5.0 star rating across dozens of reviews, all pointing to one name: Denise, the sole lash artist. Working out of a home studio near Ubi, she has built a devoted following purely on the quality and consistency of her lash sets.
Best for: lash extensions from a dedicated solo artist.
A solo studio like this means you get the same hands every single visit, which is exactly what you want when your lashes are involved. Bookings run through a proper online system, so it is one of the easier home studios to lock in.

8. LashGoalSG
LashGoalSG rounds out the perfect-scorers with a 5.0 star rating across dozens of reviews, delivered from a home studio in the Sengkang area. As the name suggests, lashes are the whole point here, and the results keep clients coming back.
Best for: lash extensions in the northeast.
If you live around Sengkang or Compassvale and would rather not trek out for your infills, this is a genuinely convenient find with the ratings to back it up. Appointment-only, DM to book.

9. Flutter & Glow
Flutter & Glow holds a 4.8 star rating across dozens of reviews from its Tampines home studio, and its edge is range. Alongside its signature lash extensions, it also does brow embroidery, facials and nails, so it is a rare home studio where you can sort a few things at once.
Best for: lashes, brows and nails under one roof.
For anyone in the east who likes the idea of one trusted artist for several treatments rather than salon-hopping, this is the practical, well-loved pick. Book ahead by DM or WhatsApp.

How to book a home studio
The tricky part about home-based studios has always been actually reaching them. Bookings scattered across Instagram DMs, WhatsApp threads and the occasional dead calendar link, and no easy way to compare who is good at what. That is the whole reason a discovery platform helps here.
The easiest way to book any of these is a booking request on Glamingo: pick the studio, choose a time, and the artist confirms directly with you, along with the exact address once your slot is locked. It works even for the tiny one-person studios that live entirely on Instagram, so you are not stuck waiting on a DM that may take a day to come back.
Start with whichever studio matches what you actually want, whether that is bridal nail art, a fuss-free lash lift, or brows you never have to draw on again. The best hidden gems in Singapore are hidden no more.
