The Nail Social: Socially Conscious Nail Salon | Singapore

ABBEY: Yey, another pedicure for my tired feet. This time we went to Nail Social. The place is at a cozy upper room near Bugis MRT. 

From the time we stepped in I knew it will be a relaxing session. And yes it was! The nail technician pampered my feet with scrub and massage and really cleaned my nails. Then finished them off with glossy-shine buff. By the way they did these all quietly and without talking to other workers; which is plus for me. Total peace. And by the way they don’t hard sell. Haha. 

Be sure to make appointment and include all you want to be done with your precious nails both hands and feet as we got turned down for a manicure due to full schedule which is understandable. 

WILL: Isn’t quite disturbing of your nail attendant is bothering you to push extra services on your supposedly “relaxation day”? Well it doesn’t happen on The Nail Social. Kudos to that and congratulations to us for a having a peaceful me-time. 

Nail Social is located at Haji Lane (nearest MRT: Bugis). They are the second floor of one of the shophouses there. So what’s the difference to other nail salons? 

1. They do have this homey feel that will relax your body. 

2. Comfy non-electrical seats but no back massage for your entire session. 

3. They have an iPad which is connected to Netflix. Free to use for your entertainment. 

4. For classic pedicure, I requested the attendant to thoroughly take out the dry skin on my big toes and she did without complain. 

5. NO HARD SELLING! 

Now I am wondering why they are always fully booked even on weekdays. Looking forward to visit the other branch of The Nail Social.

Pixie Nail Spa Experience | Classic Manicure with Massage Chair | Plaza Singapura Branch

ABBEY: I asked Wilma if we can have mani and pedi for our anniversary. Wish granted. We went to Pixie Nail and have our nails done. We’re seated in a lazy boy-like chair and you will only leave that after the session is ended. The chair has a massage function so you can give your back a treat while they are busy with your fingers and toes. 

I’m satisfied with service. My nails are shiny after the cleaning and buffing. I just don’t like how the staff are being pushy for you to get the packages or telling you this service but for another charge. 

What I do not want is not telling me how much the whole service will cost and the add-ons before we go into oblivion of relaxation. By the way all the services including manicure, pedicure, leg spa, nail color (for my wife) cost 370SGD.

WILL: It’s our second wedding and of course we want to be as beautiful/handsome like on our first. One of the base in getting ready for our it the pamper our hands and feet. Off we went to Pixie Nail Plaza Singapura branch.

We were there to get their classic manucure/pedicure. We loved the idea of elevated seats that seems like a throne. And the throne is a massage chair. Ooohhh! Total relaxation. But wait! Then the relaxation bubble burst when they started to be pushy in their additional products. Abbey said yes for salt soak ($10) and when I said NO to the woman who is manicuring our hands on her advise to get the 50% off hand and foot spa, she asked me “Why? It is only $40. Ot is cheap”. Well I am okay with that wordings but the way she looked at me that if I am somewhat cheap is not a good marketing strategy. Abbey was persuaded and get the hand and foot spa for both of us!

Can you guess how much is our bill after spending 2hours in the Pixie Nail? It is a shockingly $$$!!!

No-No-No for me. It feels like we were fooled!
