BEST EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Volume Lashes

From $160 for 90 minutes, KJS Studio

The beauticians and most of the customers here are Japanese, so you know you’re in good company. You have the option of choosing the length, thickness and curl you like, but if it’s light but luscious, natural-looking eyelashes you want, try Volume Lashes, which range from 2D (basically, two strands combined to form a cluster lash) to 6D. The ultra-thin strands are then skilfully adhered close to the root of your natural lashes with a special glue that doesn’t sting, giving you fluttery, eye-opening extensions for at least a month.

BEST HANDS & FEET CARE

Bastien’s Duo

$300 for 75 minutes, Remède Spa at The St. Regis Singapore

The king of all mani-pedis, this waterless treatment sees two highly trained therapists perform synchronised steps to restore the look of your hands, feet and nails. What it involves: A tension-relieving massage to relax your limbs; a gentle but thorough polishing of your nails with a specially developed drill, diamond dust and proprietary cream made with mother-of-pearl extracts; and a buff using a custom-made chamois leather tool, which imparts even greater glow and extreme cushiony softness.

BEST NAIL ART

Various 3D Nail Art

BEST PAIN-FREE HAIR REMOVAL

Silky Smooth IPL Hair Removal

$160 for 30 minutes, EstheClinic

Bid farewell to the prickly task of maintaining smooth, hair-free skin by opting for this painless hair-removal treatment using intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Boasting technology said to work twice as fast as traditional IPL systems, the treatment will have you lying on a comfy bed with just a slight warm sensation on the target areas for five to 20 minutes. After six to eight visits, expect approximately 80 to 90 percent of hair to be removed permanently.

BEST PEDICURE

Classic Pedicure

$40 for 60 minutes, Nail Palace

A pedicure that feels like a foot spa, this treatment starts off with a warm foot soak, which the therapist may add an antifungal pill to, to treat any infections if needed. Then comes the foot filing to remove the build-up of dead skin and any calluses, gently but effectively smoothing out the heels and balls of your feet. Next, your cuticles are trimmed and the nails, cleaned, cut and buffed so they not only look healthy and shiny, but are also free of ingrown nails. A light massage follows before the painting begins. The therapists here advise leaving polish on for three weeks max to avoid conditions such as yellowing nails, so it’s best to schedule appointments once a month.
