Nail salons in Singapore, by the numbers

Ratings in Singapore's nail category run unusually high. Of the more than 250 venues listed on Glow360, 286 have been rated, the average is 4.6 stars, and 226 sit at 4.5 or above. With nearly eight in ten rated venues scoring that well, the stars alone will not narrow a shortlist; review volume and location do the real work.

The geography is worth knowing. Singapore's top-reviewed nail venues are spread across the island rather than stacked downtown. Quinzel in Tampines leads the whole category with a 5.0 average over 790 reviews, and other perfect scorers include Ooh La La! Nails & Lashes Bar at Komo Shoppes off Upper Changi Road (246 reviews), Cheo Beau in Serangoon North (244 reviews) and July Nails on Scotts Road near Orchard (258 reviews). For CBD workers, Nail Lab 11 at Tanjong Pagar Plaza holds a 5.0 across 213 reviews. A strong studio is rarely more than a few MRT stops away.

On services, gel remains the mainstay: Gel Nails appear on most menus, and some studios extend into combination approaches such as Hybrid Nails. Menu wording differs from shop to shop, so comparing what each service actually includes matters more than comparing names, and removal of an existing set is sometimes listed as its own item.

The full, filterable list lives on the Singapore page, where venues can be sorted by district. Salon owners who want to appear there can look at Glow360's online reservation system. For anything else, write to help@glow360.com.
