You’ve shopped till you’ve dropped at Far East Plaza and now, the next step: a relaxing beauty treatment (hey, shopping is hard work!). No need to venture far – the mall’s got more nail studios, hair salons, and primping parlours than Jersey Shore. Here’s our list of the best beauty spots in Far East Plaza.
Hair ‘N’ Lashes Carnival (#02-32)
Granted, this tiny unassuming store may not look like much but with prices like these, who cares right? From $1 hair extensions in myriad colours to a set of natural looking lash extensions for $90, this is the spot for first-timers looking for a quick makeover on a budget.
Nail Queen (#02-109)
Chipped your nails right before a very important date? Nail Queen will fix those digits up in a jiffy. In just 10 minutes, they’ll buff, shape, and paint your nails – for $10! If you’re feeling fancy and have got more time to spare, there’s a wide selection of nail art designs to suit your every mood.
Sweet Treats Nail & Beauty (#03-15)
Talk about one-stop beauty shop! True to its name, Sweet Treats has all the beauty treatments you’ll need to for a complete transformation. Mani pedis? Check. Eyebrow shaping and embroidery? Check. Full-body waxing? Check. Utterly relaxing Jurlique facials? Check again! Best of all, the prices are wallet-friendly so go ahead, treat yourself!
Iputa K-Fashion Nails (#05-07)
If classic, French-manicured nails are more your style, this isn’t the place for you. Those in the know will tell you that Iputa is the place to go for the girliest, fanciest, and bling-iest nails you could imagine. From acrylic nails to 3D nail art with crystals and other embellishments, the sky’s the limit.
Gataomo
Gataomo (#04-79)
This spiffy salon comes highly recommended by one of the Honeycombers, so take note! Since its opening in 2006, Gataomo has become increasingly popular through word-of-mouth, thanks to the talented stylists (each with their own dedicated following) and competitive prices. Book your spot now in case they close the books!
Vain Beauty (#03-113/140)
Spread across two separate stores, Vain Beauty is where beauty-seekers on a budget flock to by the dozens. Get yourself a new set of fluttery lashes for just $30. Or for Rapunzel-esque locks, Vain Beauty offers 150 pieces of hair extensions free with every 100. Note: service staff are mainly Chinese speaking, so we suggest bringing along a local friend to translate.
Klear Cut (#05-113)
Step into Klear Cut on any given weekend and you’ll be greeted by a bustling crowd: a testament to its growing popularity amongst teenagers and young adults alike. Despite the small and cramped surroundings, it clearly wins customers over with the friendly service and affordable prices (students get a 10% discount). Book an appointment beforehand to avoid long waiting time.
Pink Parlour (#05-83)
Tucked away on the fifth floor is our go-to spot for a session of spray tanning – Pink Palour! For a complete head-to-toe beauty transformation, try out their other services like a mani pedi, full-body waxing, eye-lash tinting, and underarm whitening.
