The top-rated manicure, pedicure, leg and feet treatments in Singapore

Besides adding that final flourish to your look, manicures and pedicures often come with soaks, scrubs, moisturisers and massages that help you attain baby soft and smooth skin. As there are many nerve endings in your feet, foot massages are wonderful to improve circulation and stimulate muscles, as well as reduce tension and aches.

Feet treatments such as pedicures and foot massages also provide the opportunity for you to tackle feet issues such as blisters, bunions, corns and toenail problems that you may not have known about. Of course, what's not to love about such treatments? They give us much-needed downtime to disconnect and zone out.

So, which salons and spas in Singapore should you book your appointments at? Check out the winners of The Weekly's Spa Awards 2022.

The Nail Artistry Classic Gel Pedicure + Organic White Radiance Spa

The four-step White Radiance is designed to brighten and soften the skin on your feet (or hands), and uses only organic ingredients. This foot spa starts with a soak in mineral-rich dead sea salt to clean and soften the skin, followed by a sugar scrub to gently exfoliate and moisturise skin, plus a moisturising mask and massage cream to hydrate and nourish skin.

The final touch is a classic gel pedicure. Fans rave about the attention to details here and the reasonable prices.

Strip AFT hair removal

The patented Advanced Fluorescence Technology (known as AFT) is exclusive to Strip. This semi-permanent hair reduction method uses beams of specially filtered light to weaken hair follicles, delaying hair growth or stopping regrowth entirely. The extra-wide applicator tip makes the treatment more comfortable - it feels like a warm roller, not like you are being zapped. Our tester gleefully said: "I honestly felt no pain - and I have a very low pain threshold!"

$68 for first trial

Strip has 15 outlets in Singapore. For locations and bookings, call +65 6337 8747 or WhatsApp +65 8940 4882

Best all-in-one foot massage

Feet Haven Reflexology Extra Shiok Combi Therapy Massage

You wouldn't find fault with the ambience: dim lighting, soft music and quiet voices. The prices make it an affordable indulgence.

$72 for 90 minutes (60 minute shoulder massage + 30 minute foot massage)

Feet Haven Reflexology has two locations:

Katong: 136 East Coast Road,  #01-01, Tel +65 6344 7311
