After getting your hair done for Chinese New Year, it’s time to get your nails in shape!
For the uninitiated, many nail salons actually impose CNY surcharges during this period of time due to overwhelming demand and manpower shortage. If you are not keen on shelling out extra to get a manicure done before the festive period, fret not – you can still get your nails done at the following salons with no extra charge incurred!
1. Leekaja Beauty Salon
