Waxing in Singapore

Waxing salons in Singapore: reading the ratings

Start with the numbers, because Singapore's are unusually strong. Glow360 lists 243 across the city; within the full pool, 251 venues carry ratings, the average sits at 4.7, and 207 score 4.5 or above. When most of a market clears that bar, review volume becomes the more useful filter.

By that measure one venue is far ahead. Monostudio Beauty Studio & Academy at 67 Boat Quay holds a 5.0 across 1,492 reviews, roughly triple its nearest rival. Behind it come Blush @ Orchard, a hair removal specialist in the International Building on Orchard Road (591 reviews), and Benefit Cosmetics Brow Bar at HarbourFront Walk (474), all listed under Tanjong Pagar and the central stretch of the island.

The picture away from the centre is thinner but genuinely good. Ohm Secrets on Serangoon Road (460 reviews) and Clean & Tidy near Bugis (364) anchor Jalan Besar, while Sugar(ed) on Upper Thomson Road (405) gives Bishan and the Thomson corridor a dedicated sugaring studio, useful if hot wax leaves your skin irritated.

Two practical notes. Several top names, Blush and Clean & Tidy among them, are laser-led studios that also wax, so confirm the exact treatment you want, from Eyebrow Waxing to Back Waxing, before you settle on a venue. And review counts in the hundreds take years to build, which tells you these are established operations rather than pop-ups. Salon owners can join the platform through the customer booking system; for anything else, help@glow360.com is the contact.
