Editor’s note
Recent reviewers spoke warmly of the clean, sterile setting, the wide range of nail colours, and the careful, skilful work of the manicurists, with one reviewer noting that two technicians are assigned to a manicure and pedicure. Several praised the attentive nail artist who understood exactly what they wanted and the impeccable workmanship and attention to detail in their designs. Treatments such as Structure gel and OPI Spa were also mentioned as regular favourites.
Reviews were mixed, however: a few customers felt the appointments were rushed and that the upselling was heavy, and one reported that the gel did not last beyond a couple of days. Those who had a difficult visit felt the cost was high for the results they received.

“The girls did a good job but they are clearing scamming tourists everything was an add on, I ultimately paid over $500 US dollars for a tip extension with cat eyes and a pedicure. I’ve never paid that much anywhere else in the world. I should have read the reviews up front!”
★★★★★
“Very disappointing experience and definitely not worth the price. The manicure felt extremely rushed, despite the salon being completely empty when I walked in and several nail technicians being available. Two of my nails were messed up during the service. One was properly fixed, but with the other, they basically just patched it up and hoped it would be fine rather than actually correcting it properly. What was particularly frustrating was the constant upselling throughout the appointment. It felt like the main focus was getting me to spend more rather than providing a good service. I was also charged an additional $15 for a top coat, which in my opinion should be a standard part of a manicure, especially at these prices. To make matters worse, by the very next day the polish on two of my nails had already chipped. Overall, overpriced for the quality and care I received. The service was rushed, the finish didn't last even 24 hours, and the constant upselling made the whole experience unpleasant. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this salon.”

“Had a lovely experience at this nail spa. The environment was clean and sterile, which made me feel comfortable right away. They also have a wide variety of nail colours to choose from, so it was easy to find a shade I liked. The location at Marina Bay Sands is a huge plus too — super convenient if you need a little break from shopping and want to treat yourself to some pampering.”

“Lovely service and great nails”

“They were hard-selling every step of the way. I have never paid so much for a pedi and mani (~$500) only to have it done at such poor quality. I had to go back for a retouch because the gel wasn’t dry, and after just 2 days, it came off. Wouldn’t recommend this shop to any of my friends.”
