2020 has taught us all to value our personal space, and we’ve quickly adapted to earning a living, working out, doubling up as a school teacher and dining at our favourite local restaurants all from the comfort of our own home. Now, just to bring everything from the outside in, the standard and quality of home-based beauty services you can enjoy in Singapore has sky rocketed too.
We are, after all, a nation who loves our beauty treatments. Any relaxing of restrictions has seen both men and women scrabbling for appointments to be plucked, preened and trimmed back to some semblance of normality.
Thankfully, there are a lot of great mobile beauty services that can take place professionally and safely at your place while still adhering to social distancing and pandemic protocols.
Nails | AUUM
Taking pride in their world-class standards of hygiene and dedication to using vegan, gluten-free, toxin-free, and biodegradable products, AUUN tout themselves as ‘the honest nail spa.’ With two physical salons at Raffles Hotel Arcade and So SPA by Sofitel Singapore, the team also offer a ‘Concierge Service’, meaning they’ll come to you for no additional cost (unless you are booking outside of their regular hours).
AUUM offer all of the expected treatments, including the super speedy ‘Essential ManiPedi’, as well as their ‘Aromatherapy ManiPedi,’ which incorporates an aromatherapeutic treatment to cleanse and remove impurities, as well as a rejuvenating hand mask treatment to exfoliate and enhance the skin.
The Essential ManiPedi is priced at SGD 188, and the Aromatherapy ManiPedi is SGD 258.
Hair | The Big Blow
Specialising in ‘the perfect blow dry,’ The Big Blow offer a range of services from both their Cluny Court Salon and for at-home bookings, including packages of 10 blow dries, which are ideal for when you have an important (five-person) event or celebration and want a salon finish.
Handily, The Big Blow have a blow dry style guide on their website, so you can select the look you’re after prior to your appointment to avoid any stress.
The team also offer make up services, as well as lessons for teens upwards.
A VIP Blow Out Package of 10 (1hr 15mins each) is priced at SGD 900.
Massages | Aleyda Mobile Spa
Whilst spending a day hidden away in a spa is one of the most luxurious ways to treat yourself, sometimes the mere effort of having to leave the house is too much (especially right now). Enter, Aleyda. Founded in 2010, Aleyda Mobile Spa offers healing and pampering spa treatments in the comfort of your own home (or office). As well as regular and postnatal massages, Aleyda also offer a ‘Spa Party’ service; designed for four people. Their three package options:
- Back and foot
- Nail bar
- Full-body massage
All treatments are completed with ergonomic massage equipment, fresh linen, spa music, and the expert care of the industry’s best therapists. Tip: have a massage right before bedtime to send you into a blissful sleep.
An Aleyda Body Massage starts at SGD 165 for 90 minutes. Spa Party experiences start at SGD 450 for the Back & Foot Massage or Nail Bar options (inclusive of two therapists for two hours).
Everything Else | Cecilia Westberry
There are only a few people that we trust to come at us with hot wax, and the team at Cecilia Westberry are some of them. Highly professional and super-friendly, the highly-trained therapists pay the utmost attention to detail ensuring everything is perfect throughout the process.
As well as mani and pedis, massages, makeup and spray tanning, the team also offer the ‘Best Waxing in Singapore’ (according to many of Cecilia’s customers!). A range of facial treatments, including Aqua Peels, Guinot Hydradermie Facials, and Microdermabrasion Facials, are also available.
With two salons (located at Holland Close and Wheelock Place), house calls are available for an additional fee, which starts at SGD 32 and is dependent on service and location. Waxing services range from SGD 16 – SGD 85, and premium facials start at SGD 165.
