We've nailed the best mani-pedi salons for a pampering session with the kids...
Here in sunny Singapore, our hands and feet are on display pretty much all year, meaning we’re down for some regular self-care. We’re all for taking five with a cup of coffee in hand, watching our fave shows or listening to a cool podcast. But what we really love? Some good old-fashioned pampering! And lately, we’re enjoying treating our little munchkins at the same time with a mother-daughter mani-pedi – or son, for that matter! If you fancy booking into a kid-friendly nail salon where the products are safe, and the service is top-notch, we’ve got you covered.
10 best mother-child mani-pedi salons in Singapore
1. The Salon by VIVA
Looking for a top-notch mother-daughter mani-pedi? Put The Salon by VIVA on Keppel Island at the top of your list. Our former ed Amy headed there with her daughter and got the royal treatment: a manicure and pedicure using toxic-free polish, plus a super relaxing hair treatment and blow-dry. The staff are next-level brilliant and go out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for both mum and child. And the nibbles and drinks, while you soak up the views of the harbour, make the whole shebang even more awesome. We love the fact the salon also offers child birthday party packages! Trust us: you won’t be disappointed.

This means they’re safe for pregnant mums-to-be and our fave little people. Hooray for clear-conscience mother-daughter mani-pedis! Extra brownie points are provided for the drinks, snacks, and iPads with preloaded games and movies. The perfect pitstop if you’re exploring the Haji Lane ‘hood.
