We got you covered with a whopping 27 hair salons that are doing away with CNY surcharge this year, and now, it’s time to get your nails CNY-ready without paying any extra fees!
During this festive period, it’s not surprising to come across many nail salons that impose CNY surcharges anywhere between S$5 to S$15 as the businesses try to cope with overwhelming demand and manpower shortage.
That said, there are still a select few who do not want to increase their prices just for the sake of it, which is why we’re highlighting them here so that you can get a manicure without CNY surcharge during the festive season.
Ahead, check out the 10 top nail salons in Singapore that you can get CNY-ready nails by paying just regular menu prices – one is even offering 40% off regular service price!
Queen’s Market

An ideal one-stop beauty destination for all your grooming needs, this cosy, humble salon – which is run by a Japanese expat – offers facials, body treatments, eyelash extensions as well as nail services.
While Queen’s Market is known for its signature Royal Herb Detox Wrap treatment for the body, its gel manicure and pedicure services deserve a shout-out as well.
Prices may be a little steep but what you’re paying for here is the level of detailing as well as a unique Japanese soft gel polish that lasts longer and doesn’t do as much as damage to your nails.
