A first of its kind in Singapore, The Nail Social is known to be a socially and environmentally conscious nail salon. Treatments are done using only non-toxic, fair trade, cruelty-free and eco-friendly nail care products. These polishes are said to be formulated without harmful ingredients, making them safe for use on children and expectant mums.

The brand is also big believer of giving back to the community. Therefore, it donates a portion of its proceeds to provide vocational training and employment for local marginalised women.

One of its standout treatments – known as the Luxe Treatment – is worth noting. It encompasses a range of services that include nail shaping, cuticle care, gentle sea salt exfoliation, organic clay masque, and a coconut oil massage. Plus, it ends off with a fresh coat of polish for healthier-looking digits.

The best part? Customers are treated to comfy couch chairs that come with a personal iPad pre-loaded with movies, games, books and podcasts; drinks and snacks; as well as a complimentary glass of wine on Fridays and Saturdays.

Specialising in intricate nail art designs, Manicurious is the parlour of choice for those looking to dress their digits in unique, one-of-a-kind – and at times, OTT designs.

From cool geometric patterns to dreamy, water-colour inspired pieces, this is the place to visit for creative nail designs. Bonus: the plush sofas, vintage-inspired armchairs, and specialty teas make for a relaxing ambience.

If you are looking for a fuss-free, no-frills nail treatment, Manicurious has a Hand and Foot Spa to check out. Both treatments include a cleanse, scrub, mask and end off with a hydrating dash of argan oil to hydrate dry cuticles. Ultimately, the two aid in removing dead skin cells, encourage the production of new cells and improve the overall appearance of your digits.

With extravagant furnishings and a sleek colour theme, this luxurious salon is one to visit for a truly pampering experience. Besides its interior, the salon comes equipped with an open kitchen concept comprising different essential oils, massage oils, rose petals, and lemon slices. Customers can then pick and choose the ingredients to be used for their own personalised treatment. 

To complete the entire pampering experience, a full suite of media entertainment systems, as well as a luxurious milk and rose petals soak, foot massage and jacuzzi are available for customers.

The salon is also known for its nail art designs, offering a range of options for customers. Nail art is designed with crystals and jewels for extreme bling while some offer a more sophisticated approach with artsy patterns.

Besides nails, the salon offers lash and brow services, making it a one-stop shop for all your beauty needs.

While many nail salons are big on intricate and artsy designs, Trimmings takes on a more holistic approach by offering customers a truly pampering experience. The brand focuses on spa, aromatherapy and medical treatments that are each targeted at specific concerns. And of course, it also offers medi and pedi treatments to dress your nails in your favourite colours.

To up the indulgent experience, the salon is housed in a carefully restored old military barrack, nestled in the lush greenery of Dempsey Hill – what’s not to love?

Though the brand has a range of treatments to try, the Medical Pedicure is one of its most highly sought after treatments. It focuses on treating common concerns like crack heels, fungus, and calluses.

The treatment includes a combination of steps such as a mask, cuticle treatment and foot file. For many of us who have often only opted for manicures, this is the treatment to try to get your toes looking fresh and healthy again.
