Summer Haven
18 Cross Street
#01-04 China Square Central

summerhaven.bizA favourite of the
EL
team, this award-winning salon – which also has
branches at I12 Katong and CityLink Mall – is well loved for its indulgent
Cuccio Spa manicure ($78)
and
pedicure ($88)
, where you can choose
from a combination of four scents tailored to your skin’s needs; for example,
moisturising milk and honey or revitalising Tuscan citrus herb.
Summer Haven is also a great place to go to if you’re looking for a spot
of pampering with girlfriends, or even for kids’ parties. For private events,
they’ll close the doors for two hours or more, depending on guest numbers,
and throw in complimentary hot drinks – or if you fancy something more
festive, they’ll provide the wine glasses.

manicurious.sgA nail bar, café and retail space in one, Manicurious has nailed
the concept store experience with a winning combination of
nails, cake and shopping. What more could a girl want?
Before your treatment, you can grab Papa Palheta coffee
and a cake (we recommend the strawberry lemon tart) or
feast your eyes on the array of luxury bags at Bag Bistro,
which stocks luxury brand names at up to 60 percent off the
original price.
For the nails, choose from a range of classic services
including
manicures
at
$28
,
gelish
from
$40
, an
organic hand and foot spa ($38-$48)
or, if you’re feeling
adventurous, you can opt for one of the nail-art designs. It
also offers
BioSculpture gel nail extensions ($80)
, a gel
overlay treatment that not only lasts three weeks but also
claims to strengthen and condition your nails.
If you’re looking for some last-minute pampering before a
night out, head to the new branch at
49 Tras Street
, which
conveniently shares its shophouse premises with chic cocktail
bar Jekyll & Hyde. That’s pre-drinks sorted.
