6 Best Waxing Salons in Singapore (August 2026)

Four things, and they take about a minute between them.

• Ask about double dipping, and listen to how fast the answer comes. Double dipping means putting a used spatula back into the shared wax pot, which moves bacteria from one client into the wax the next client gets. Honeypot states outright that gloves are always worn and there is strictly no double dipping of spatulas. Any salon should be able to answer that instantly and without defensiveness. A pause is your answer.
• Do not prepay more than you would be relaxed about losing. The Consumers Association of Singapore has logged the beauty industry among its worst categories for complaints for years, and prepayment is the recurring theme: money paid up front for sessions that are never delivered. Pink Parlour is the recent, well-documented example of even a long-established chain reaching the end. Buy a small package or pay per visit.
• Get the hair length right or you waste the appointment. Wax needs something to grip, roughly a quarter of an inch, about the length of a grain of rice. Too short and it skips the hair. Too long and it hurts more and can break rather than pull cleanly. If you shaved four days ago, rebook.
• Some medications and treatments rule waxing out. Oral isotretinoin, prescription retinoids, recent chemical peels and recent laser resurfacing all thin or loosen the top layer of skin, and waxing over that can lift skin rather than hair. Tell the therapist what you are on. A salon that asks first is a salon paying attention.

One useful distinction while you are choosing. Waxing removes the hair you have and it grows back in three to six weeks. Laser and IPL aim to reduce how much grows back at all, over a course of sessions, and that is a medical purchase with its own price ladder. If permanent reduction is what you actually want, read my guide to the best laser hair removal clinics in Singapore instead, because these are not competing options at different prices. They are different products.

And if you are booking a wax as part of a larger grooming run, the best facial treatments in Singapore and the best lash extension salons in Singapore are the two appointments most often stacked around it.

Honeypot goes first for the simplest reason: it answers both questions a first-time client actually has before you contact anyone. The price list is published, and so is the hygiene policy.

Current Brazilian pricing runs Basic Bikini at S$39, The In Between at S$48, Hollywood at S$73 and Playboy at S$78. Worth noting that older guides still ranking for this search quote S$28 to S$68 for the same salon, which tells you how stale most of the pages competing here are. The numbers above are from the salon site as at August 2026.

On hygiene the wording is direct: gloves are always worn, and there is strictly no double dipping of spatulas. That is the exact commitment worth having in writing rather than as a reassurance at the door. The salon also uses its own in-house strip and hot wax rather than a generic supply.

Two boutiques, both central: Ngee Ann City at 391B Orchard Road and One Raffles Place. Both close on Sundays and public holidays, which catches people out, so book on a weekday or a Saturday morning.

Brazilian: S$39 Basic Bikini to S$78 Playboy
Hygiene: Gloves always, strictly no double dipping
Where: Ngee Ann City and One Raffles Place, closed Sundays

Strip is the most recognised waxing brand in Singapore and runs multiple outlets, which matters more than it sounds for something you repeat every four to six weeks. A salon near your office is a salon you actually return to.

New clients start on trial pricing from S$40, which is the sensible way in. Waxing is a personal service and the therapist matters as much as the brand, so a low-commitment first visit lets you find out whether you like the room, the pace and the person before anything larger comes up.

Strip also offers AFT laser hair removal alongside waxing, and it is worth being clear-eyed about that. Having both under one roof is convenient, and it also means the conversation about upgrading to laser will happen. That is fine as long as you have decided in advance which product you came for. My note above on waxing versus laser is the whole of the argument.

One caution that applies to the whole category rather than this salon in particular: take the trial, take your time, and do not sign for a long package on the first visit.

Trials from: S$40
Also offers: AFT laser hair removal
Outlets: Multiple, including international locations
Best for: A first visit at low commitment, and an outlet near you

Sugared does not wax. It uses sugaring, a paste of sugar, water and lemon juice, and the difference is mechanical rather than cosmetic.

Wax adheres to the skin as well as the hair and is pulled against the direction of growth. Sugar paste adheres mainly to the hair and is flicked off in the direction of growth. In practice that means less pull on the skin itself and, as the salon puts it, less breakage, fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation. If you get ingrowns reliably after a wax, this is the option worth trying before you conclude that hair removal simply does not suit you.

The paste is water soluble, which makes cleanup easier and any residue simpler to rinse. Sugaring is also usually described as less painful, though pain tolerance varies enough that I would not promise anyone that.

Studios run across the island. Ask for the same hygiene assurance you would ask a wax salon, because the question is about process, not about which substance is in the pot.

Method: Sugar paste of sugar, water and lemon juice
Claimed benefit: Fewer ingrowns, less breakage and irritation
Best for: Sensitive skin, and anyone who gets ingrown hairs

WinkWax runs as a unisex waxing studio, and that solves a real problem. A lot of waxing in Singapore is set up as a women-only space, which is entirely reasonable, and it leaves men doing back, chest and body waxing with a much shorter list of options.

Male body waxing is also a slightly different job. The hair is usually coarser and denser, larger areas are involved, and technique and wax choice matter more. A studio that treats men routinely rather than as an occasional exception tends to be quicker and less uncomfortable at it.

The same rules apply as everywhere else. Ask about double dipping, get the hair length right, and mention anything you are taking that affects your skin.

Format: Unisex waxing studio
Best for: Men, and couples booking the same visit

Rupini is one of the longer established beauty names in Singapore and covers waxing alongside threading, facials and bridal work. The threading is the reason to know it.

Threading and waxing are genuinely different tools. Threading uses twisted cotton thread to lift hair and touches no product to the skin at all, which makes it a sound choice on the face and especially for brows, where wax can catch skin thinned by retinoids or acids. A salon that does both well means you are not forced into one method for every part of you.

Bridal packages are the other strength, and worth flagging for timing rather than price. Do not schedule any first-time hair removal in the week of a wedding. Skin reacts, and you want to know how yours behaves at least a fortnight before anyone photographs it.

If brows are the reason you are here, my guide to the best eyebrow embroidery studios in Singapore covers the semi-permanent route, which is a different decision from shaping.

Website: rupinis.com
Covers: Waxing, threading, facials, bridal
Useful because: Threading is gentler on facial skin than wax
Best for: Brows and face, and bridal preparation booked early

Bonita offers waxing as part of a broader treatment menu rather than as its whole business, and there is a practical case for that when you are booking more than one thing.

Most people do not have a standalone waxing appointment in their calendar. They have an afternoon in which several things get done. Booking a wax alongside a facial or another treatment in one visit is simply more efficient, and a salon set up for that will sequence the appointments sensibly rather than sending you back and forth.

The trade-off is straightforward. A dedicated waxing boutique does one thing all day and gets very fast at it. A full-service salon offers convenience. Neither is wrong, and which suits you depends on whether the wax is the reason for the trip or one item on the list.

Format: Waxing within a full beauty menu
Best for: Stacking a wax with other treatments in one visit

Between roughly S$39 and S$80 depending on how much is removed, and the style names are not standardised across salons. Honeypot currently lists Basic Bikini at S$39, The In Between at S$48, Hollywood at S$73 and Playboy at S$78. Strip runs first-visit trials from S$40.

Be careful with prices you find in older articles. Several guides still ranking for this search quote S$28 to S$68 for Honeypot, which is the price list from an earlier year. Always check the salon page itself, because in this category the secondary sources are frequently one or two price revisions behind.

Trial rates are genuine but they are first-visit rates, so budget on the standard price for visit two onward. And since waxing repeats every three to six weeks, work out the annual cost before you decide whether a course of laser is actually the more expensive option. Often it is not.

The single question that matters is whether the salon double dips. Returning a used spatula to a communal wax pot transfers whatever came off your skin into the wax the next client receives. The alternatives are a fresh spatula per application, single-use wax, or sugaring paste used per client and discarded.

Honeypot answers this in its published policy: gloves are always worn and there is strictly no double dipping. That is the standard to hold everyone to. Ask directly, and note how the answer arrives. A salon with a real protocol answers immediately, because staff are trained on it. Hesitation or a vague reassurance about high standards is itself informative.

Two more worth asking: is fresh linen or fresh paper used on the bed for every client, and does the therapist ask about medications and recent treatments before starting. That last one is not paperwork. Isotretinoin, prescription retinoids and recent peels genuinely change what waxing does to your skin, and a salon that never asks is not managing that risk.

Sometimes, at a small size. Rarely at a large one. The discount on a package is real, and so is the risk, and the risk is not theoretical in this industry.

Pink Parlour is the case study, and it is a relatively gentle one. A 21-year-old chain with well known outlets closed on 31 May 2026. Customers holding unused sessions had them converted to credits under a new brand owner, and the founder stated the company had stopped selling long-term packages from January 2026 and was not walking away from its obligations. That is a business winding down about as responsibly as these things go, and prepaid customers still ended up depending entirely on the terms whoever bought the brand chose to offer.

The Consumers Association of Singapore handles a heavy volume of beauty industry complaints every year, and prepayment for undelivered services is the recurring pattern behind them. So the practical rule is simple: buy three to five sessions, not thirty. Pay by credit card so a chargeback is at least possible. And treat a salon that suddenly pushes hard on a very large package, or that quietly stops selling packages altogether, as telling you something either way.

For a first booking, Honeypot. It publishes real prices, currently S$39 to S$78 on Brazilians, and it states its hygiene policy plainly instead of asking you to take it on trust. Those two things together are rarer in this category than they should be.

If you want an outlet near your office and a low-commitment start, Strip at S$40 trial pricing. If you get ingrown hairs every time, try Sugared before giving up on hair removal altogether. For men and for couples, WinkWax. For brows and facial work where threading is the gentler tool, Rupini. And if the wax is one item on a longer list, Bonita.

The habit that matters most costs nothing. Ask about double dipping, and do not prepay for a year of sessions. Pink Parlour lasted 21 years and still closed in May, about as responsibly as a company can, and its customers still ended up holding credits rather than the treatments they paid for.

A note for salon owners reading this. Half the businesses on this page publish their prices and half do not, and the ones that do are the ones a nervous first-timer books at eleven at night. In a treatment people find slightly intimidating, the site that answers the price question and the hygiene question up front wins the appointment. If your website is not doing that, it is fixable, and it happens to be my day job. Have a look at my web design services in Singapore, or get a quote and I will tell you honestly what I would change.
