A manicure in Singapore should hold up through a humid commute, not just look good in the salon's mirror. The salons below hold a combined 5,192 Google reviews, and every one holds a 4.8 or 4.9, so what actually separates them is technician consistency, not the star rating on the sign.

Short answer: Nail Queen By Michelle Tran leads with a 4.9 rating across 1,867 reviews, the deepest track record in this category. Nails & Good Company and Nail Palace - Bishan MRT follow close behind with 4.9 and 4.8 ratings on over 1,000 reviews each. Gel pedicures across these salons have run from roughly $40 to over $100, so confirm the full price list before you sit down.

Watch: 5 Best Manicure in Singapore (2026)

How we score

Rating is the live average pulled straight from Google. Review volume measures how many clients actually left a review, ranked against every other salon we found in this category. Confidence blends the two so a perfect score from a handful of reviews doesn’t outrank a strong score built on thousands. Recency checks whether clients are still reviewing them now. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a manicure cost in Singapore? (2026)

Pricing depends on whether you’re booking a classic polish, gel, or a detailed custom design, with extras like removal, e-file work, or nail art adding to the base price. One salon on this list lists gel pedicure tiers from $75 up to $104 including GST, while reviewers elsewhere mentioned totals from roughly $40 for a basic set up past $100 once add-ons are included. Always ask for a full written breakdown before any extra treatment starts.

JobTypical price
Express gel pedicure$75
Classic gel pedicure$95
Deluxe gel pedicure$104

Ranges compiled July 2026 from a salon-published price list (Nail Palace - Bishan MRT), inclusive of GST as stated on their menu.

Serving Singapore

These salons are spread across Orchard Road, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, and Serangoon Gardens, all reachable by MRT from most parts of the island. If you’re searching for a manicure near me in Singapore, every salon on this list sits within a short walk of an MRT station.

What to ask before you book a manicure

  • What’s the full price once gel, removal, and any add-ons are included?
  • Do they use non-toxic or low-chemical products, if that matters to you?
  • Can I request a specific technician based on reviews I’ve read?
  • How long will the appointment take for a detailed design?
  • Do they sterilize tools between clients, and how?
  • What’s their policy if a gel set chips within the first week?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these picks?

We pulled manicure salons in Singapore with a real, active Google presence and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently clients are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page was last verified in July 2026 using live Google data. We recheck ratings and review counts periodically.

Should I confirm pricing before the technician starts?

Yes. More than one review on this page describes confusion over add-on charges appearing only at checkout, so ask for a written price list first.

How long does a gel manicure typically last?

Most gel manicures hold for two to three weeks before needing a fill or full removal, though this varies with how hard you are on your hands day to day.

The bottom line

Nail Queen By Michelle Tran is the safe default pick, with the deepest review base and a rating that’s held steady across nearly 1,900 visits. If low-chemical products are a priority, Nails & Good Company’s reviews suggest it delivers specifically on that front.
