It’s pretty ironic that although beauty trends are fleeting, we’re now looking for more permanent beauty solutions. If you want to shirk the tiresome responsibility of rising early each morning to get your hair and make up done, head to these salons that’ll do (part of) the job for you. That way, you can get your beauty rest too.
Bespoke facial treatments
At unique beauty salon Peachy Skin Bar, expect luxurious facial treatments tailored to your skin type and various needs. The signature Omakase facial is the best exemplar of the brand, and is nearly completely bespoke thanks to the use of ampoules, advanced technology (think HydraPeel, topical botox, frozen cryo stem cells and more) as well as proper massage techniques; don’t fret about buying pricey packages and instead take up a membership to enjoy discounted rates.
Eyebrow embroidery
If you want to say “I woke up like this” and mean it, you’ll have to make a trip down to Work of Arch, located near Beauty World MRT, for an eyebrow embroidery session. They offer three types of brow embroidery services, such as the usual microblading, powder brows (for a more natural look), as well as a hybrid of the two. Prices start from $328, and is inclusive of one free touch-up (within three months), plus aftercare gel. Head over to their Instagram profile to view some of their works.
Eyelash extensions
If there’s one thing on this list that has been heavily talked about lately, it’s eyelash extensions. For beautiful lashes that draw attention to your eyes in the best way possible, check out Emerald Allure. They’ve even got three branches in Singapore for you to choose from.

A home-based lash salon in Bedok ran by a certified lash artist with three years of experience, Lash n Go offers reliable eyelash extension services, with prices starting from $45. Check them out here.
Eyelash lift and tint
Not to be confused with eyelash extensions, lash lift and tint sessions will curl your eyelashes while darkening them instead of adding strands. It’s a more natural alternative to the typical extensions and is less likely to cause shredding as well. Dreamlash also specialises in the Nano Eyelash Regrowth, which aims to regrow your lashes using a stem cell ampoule.
Facial extractions
Acne is a common beauty concern, and facial treatments are one of the most effective solutions to combat troubled and acne-prone skin. Soothe your skin and get rid of clogged pores and comedones with My Cozy Room, an award-winning facial spa in Orchard.

Add some sparkle to your mane with holographic, glitter hair tinsels. They usually last about four to six weeks, depending on how well your maintain them, of course. The Lash Chapter is here to keep your locks glammed at a very wallet-friendly price of $30 for 10 strands.
Waxing
