“Life is too short to have boring nails” is something we hear often. But getting our nails done can be a hassle when popular nail salons in town are often fully booked, and come with a hefty price tag.
Enter home-based nail salons, which offer affordably priced gel manicures and nail art. Plus, visiting these home salons means you won’t have to travel to town just to dress up your digits. Here are some of the home-based nail businesses in Singapore to check out:
