Jurong East MRT is one of the easiest one-stop beauty hubs in west Singapore, with facials, nails, Korean hair and scalp care all within a short walk of the interchange. JEM and Westgate sit right at the station, IMM and Vision Exchange are a short walk away, and the HDB blocks around Jurong Gateway hide some long-running specialists. Expect facials from about $30 to $70 and gel manicures from about $30.
Jurong East is an interchange on the North-South Line (NS1) and the East-West Line (EW24), so it’s an easy trip from most of the west and the north. The trick is picking the right building, because each one leans a different way.
Here’s what’s around the station, what it’s good for, what things cost, and 9 salons worth booking.
What’s Around Jurong East MRT
Jurong East is the heart of the Jurong Gateway regional centre, and the beauty scene is built for families, office workers and value. Most people here are after a regular facial, a nail refresh or a scalp treatment on the way home, not a once-a-year splurge.
- JEM. A mid-range family mall connected to the interchange, strongest on well-rated facial and aesthetics studios, plus brow, lash and nail bars.
- Westgate. The more premium family mall next door, also linked to the station. It has the most hair salons of the four, plus facial studios, laser and IPL spots, and nails.
- IMM. A big outlet and value mall, a short walk from the station. Value nails, spa pedicures, facials, massage and waxing for people doing a shopping run.
- Vision Exchange. A business tower with a retail podium on Venture Drive. It’s aesthetics-dense: Korean-style facials, hair removal and slimming for the lunchtime office crowd, plus a neighbourhood hair salon.
Beyond the malls, the wider Jurong East area is dotted with HDB-block specialists around Jurong Gateway Road: facial spas, scalp and hair-loss centres, brow studios and barbers. Heading one stop further west? Jurong Point sits at Boon Lay, and we cover it in our Jurong Point beauty guide.
What Beauty Clusters Here
Based on the salons we’ve researched around the station, these are the treatments Jurong East does best.
- Facials and acne facials. By far the most common treatment near the station, from express facials at JEM to Korean glass-skin studios in Vision Exchange.

- Lash extensions, brow embroidery and waxing. One-stop brow, lash and nail studios are a big part of the local mix, along with IPL hair removal.

- Hair straightening. Rebonding and keratin are on most local salon menus. Our rebonding guide explains how it works and how long it lasts.
- Scalp treatments and hair loss treatments. Jurong Gateway has dedicated scalp and hair-loss specialists, not just salons with a scalp add-on.
- Massage and foot reflexology. Good after a long mall day, especially around IMM.
- Barber haircuts and beard shaves. Neighbourhood barbers are spread through the HDB estate.
A local tip: hard selling shows up at some of the aesthetics and slimming chains around Westgate and Vision Exchange. Pay per visit on your first appointment, and only buy a package once you’ve tried the service.
