What a gel manicure and pedicure really cost, salon by salon
Gel colour on your hands, with cuticle care. Each salon's regular price, cheapest to priciest.
one fixed price a "from" price, or a price we worked out from the salon's own figures
All 19 salons publish one. The cheapest is S$35 at TBO The Beautiful One, above People's Park Food Centre; the priciest is S$196.20 at Branché at Capitol Singapore. That's a S$161.20 gap for the same kind of service.
The middle price for a classic gel manicure is S$68: nine salons charge less and nine charge more. For an express gel manicure, the middle sits between S$48 and S$52.32.
At the 16 salons that publish both, going from express gel to classic gel (adding cuticle care) adds S$9.81 to S$32.70, with S$20 the typical gap.
At the 17 salons that publish a classic manicure both ways, gel instead of regular polish adds S$27.25 to S$109. The typical gap is S$35.
At the 17 salons that publish both, a classic gel pedicure costs S$5 to S$80 more than the same salon's classic gel manicure, typically S$10 more.
16 of the 19 salons list gel removal as its own charge. Most charge S$8 to S$21.80; Branché charges S$54.50. A few waive it when the old set was theirs.
7 salons state a surcharge for men, of S$5 or S$5.45 per service. One more lists an unexplained S$5 and S$10 under a heading that mentions men.
Nail Palace, with 23 outlets the biggest chain here, lists its classic gel manicure from S$82.85. That puts it 16th cheapest of 19. Six of the nine cheapest are single salons or home studios.
Every number comes from each salon's own price page, read on 24 Sep 2026. Prices are what you'd pay at the counter: GST added where a salon says its prices are before GST.
Shape and gel colour, no cuticle care. Quicker and cheaper.

All eight standard services side by side, plus gel removal. The first three columns are the comparisons above; the rest are regular-polish services, which most salons still offer. A dash means the salon doesn't list that service. An asterisk means we added 9% GST to a before-GST price, or added up two of the salon's own published parts.

These salons publish prices, but something stopped us ranking them. They can come in as soon as it's fixed.
| Salon | Why it isn't ranked |
|---|---|
| Home Nails | Its only price table sits under a 'Promotions' heading, and a 'mega sale' banner repeats the same figures, so we can't tell if S$48 for a classic gel manicure is its everyday price. Undated; GST not mentioned. |
| Nail County | Its price page was last modified on 12 Aug 2024, just over two years ago, and its own page summary shows different, older prices. |
| Nailz Haus | Its only price list adds GST at 8%, the rate before 2024, and isn't linked from its own menu. |
| The Nail Artelier | Its menu is two images whose files date from 5 Dec 2023. |
| 3Lash.Brows.Nails | Its newest price menu (an Instagram highlight) is from 25 Dec 2023. |
| Nailslut Spa | Posts only a manicure-and-pedicure price together (S$50 express gel pair, S$88 gel pair, removal free), not single-service prices. |
| Salon | GST | Page date | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| TBO The Beautiful One | Not mentioned | Undated | Men pay S$5 more. |
| for Duchess, by Duke | Not mentioned | Page last modified 1 Jul 2025 | Every service here includes gel colour, so there is no regular-polish menu. A 'One Step' gel with no base or top coat costs S$16 (hands) and S$22 (feet); it is a different product, so it isn't ranked as express gel. Cutting and shaping are S$2 each on the One Step and cutting S$2 on the Express. |
| Nailsalonify (home studio) | Not mentioned | Undated; footer 2026 | Soak-off is free if the gel was done there. Express gel pedicure (S$35) is listed below express gel manicure (S$38). |
| Nail Queen | Includes GST | Undated; footer 2025 | Russian manicure S$41.42; BIAB manicure S$87.20. |
| Shimmer & Shine | Not mentioned | Undated; footer 2026 | Its regular pedicure page wasn't read; the S$17 express pedicure is from its promotions page, where it isn't marked as a trial. Men pay S$5 more per service. |
| Twenty Nails | Not mentioned | Undated | Its Fresha booking page marks several gel services 'female only'. Returning customers get S$5 off soak-off. |
| Sunny Nails | Includes GST (booking form) | Page last modified 29 May 2026 | Specialises in 'Russian' manicures (detailed dry cuticle work): gel Russian manicure S$99. All its pedicures are Russian style. A senior artist adds 10%. |
| TNS Signature (The Nail Status) | Not mentioned | Undated; footer 2024 | Ladies' prices shown; gents pay S$5 more. Soak-off is S$8 when you redo gel the same visit. |
| Princess's Cottage | Pre-GST shown with the GST price beside it; GST price used | Undated; footer 2025; menu images uploaded Apr-Aug 2026 | Three different menus across four outlets; ranked at the cheapest outlet. Tampines Mart's classic gel manicure is S$67.58 and includes one return soak-off; its classic gel pedicure is S$87.20, as at Pasir Ris. At Seletar and 111 Somerset you build a manicure from parts; the classic gel pedicure there is the sum of two published parts (S$32.70 + S$43.60). Gel removal S$2.18 a nail. Men +S$5; children under 10 half price. |
| Nails & Good Company | Not mentioned | Undated | Pedicure prices from its separate pedicure page. Uses a 'less-toxic' gel. |
| Trimmings (Dempsey Hill) | Includes 9% GST (pre-GST also shown) | Undated; promotions page for Jul-Sep | The page doesn't list what the Aromathérapie manicure includes, so it's shown as its classic regular-polish option. Its Tudor Court outlet does hair only. |
| AgnesG | Not mentioned | Undated; footer 2026 | Men pay S$5 more per classic service. Gel removal is free on a return visit spending S$30 or more. |
| The Nail Social | Not mentioned | Undated; festive dates on the page run to Jan 2025 | A Gentleman's Signature menu is S$40 (hands) and S$50 (feet). 20% off a first visit via an emailed code. |
| HighBrow | Before GST ('prices are subjected to GST'); 9% added by us | Undated | Before GST: classic gel manicure S$68, express gel S$48. Under a heading that mentions men, it lists an extra S$5 (hands) and S$10 (feet), without saying what they're for. |
| The Nail Artistry | Not mentioned (the company is GST-registered) | Undated; footer 2026 | Gel removal is S$18 if the gel was done elsewhere. |
| Nail Palace | Includes 9% GST | 'Correct as of 9 September 2026' | Every price is shown as a 'from' price. Men pay S$5.45 more per manicure and per pedicure. |
| Painted Nail Bar | Not mentioned | Undated | All four outlets charge the same. The two regular-polish express prices appear on the Fresha booking page its site links to as 'Our Rates & Book Now', not on the site itself. |
| N20 Nail Spa | Includes GST (pre-GST also shown) | Page last modified 17 Aug 2026 | Men pay S$5.45 more per service. The Takashimaya outlet trades as Nailography with its own, pricier menu (not read). |
| Branché | Before GST ('subject to prevailing government tax'); 9% added by us | Undated; footer 2017-2026 | Japanese salon using PARA GEL. Before GST: gel classic S$120 clear or S$180 with colour; gel design courses S$190-230. Booking the manager adds S$30 (shown on its booking page). |

How much does a gel manicure cost in Singapore?
A classic gel manicure (gel colour with cuticle care) costs S$35 to S$196.20 at the 19 Singapore nail salons that publish their prices, and half of them charge S$68 or less. An express gel manicure, with no cuticle care, costs S$25 to S$68.70. A classic gel pedicure costs S$40 to S$139, with the middle price at S$80. The salons range from chains such as Nail Palace, N20 Nail Spa and Shimmer & Shine to boutique salons and home studios.
Among salons that publish prices, the cheapest classic gel manicure is S$35 at TBO The Beautiful One (People's Park, Chinatown), then S$45 at for Duchess, by Duke (Kinex, Paya Lebar). The cheapest express gel manicure is S$25, also at for Duchess, by Duke.

This page covers manicure and pedicure prices at 19 nail salons in Singapore: classic and express gel manicures, gel pedicures, regular-polish manicures and pedicures, and gel removal, plus 320 prices from their full menus. Every price was read from the salon's own page, last verified on 24 Sep 2026. Trials and promotions are listed separately and never ranked. Striped bars are "from" prices or prices we worked out from the salon's own figures.
This comparison covers 19 salons priced, 41 looked into. Every price comes from the business's own website, read and dated, and the comparison was last verified on 24 Sep 2026. No business pays to be included or to rank.
The ladder at the top lines up every business from cheapest to priciest. Below it are the standout findings, how prices spread out, and the details that matter before you book or buy. We compare prices that are comparable enough, not identical, and “The boring bit” says exactly where we drew the line.
19 nail salons with a regular price for at least one standard service, from 41 salons we read and 56 we found. We don't have a reliable count of every nail salon in Singapore (one booking platform alone lists about 130, and home studios add many more), so this is a comparison of salons that publish their prices, not a survey of the whole market.
Most small neighbourhood salons and home studios don't publish prices online; they quote by WhatsApp or Instagram message. Of the Instagram-only salons we checked, none had posted a price menu in the last two years, and several salons we found had closed. So the cheapest end of the market is probably under-represented here.
We searched lists and guides, then salon by salon, then area by area for neighbourhood salons. We stopped on 24 Sep 2026 after two batches in a row turned up no new salon with published prices. The names we found but didn't read are listed below.
24 Sep 2026. Every price was read that same week, so the usual second read of the highest and lowest prices on publishing day was not done; where a price rested on a judgement call, we took the cautious reading.
We rank what you'd pay at the counter. Where a salon shows a price with GST, we use it. Where a salon says its prices are before GST (Branché, HighBrow), we add 9% and mark the price as worked out by us. Where a salon doesn't mention GST, we take the listed price as final: most small salons aren't GST-registered. Each salon's wording is in the small print.
Only from each salon's own website, or pages its own website links to as its menu or booking page (Fresha, for some salons), or the salon's own Instagram. Never from review sites, guides, deal sites or booking-platform search pages. Some pages were read by an automated page reader, others by a browser agent (Claude in Chrome) that captured the page text or read menu images; the directory says which. Prices are read from each salon's own page on 24 Sep 2026; nobody visited the salons.
