Nail Salon Near Me on Orchard Road, Quiet and Unhurried: Painted Nail Bar

Painted Nail Bar keeps its lights low on purpose. The Delfi Orchard outlet, at 402 Orchard Road, #01-06, Singapore 238876, sits on the ground floor of a boutique mall opposite Forum and opens every day from 10:00AM to 8:00PM. Its house service, the Terra Signature Manicure, costs S$45 with regular polish. For anyone whose nail salon near me search starts on Orchard Road, this is a calm, appointment-led room on the quieter end of the street, next to Palais Renaissance.

The brand says its story began at two addresses, Delfi Orchard and River Valley, which it set up as a local gem in the middle of the city. Two later branches, at The Cathay and at Dunearn Village, added a cafe lounge called A Slow Cup; Dunearn Village opened on 24 February 2026, taking the group to four outlets. The Delfi Orchard room is one of the originals and does not have the cafe, so it is all about the chair.

Everything in the brand leans on terracotta, which it calls Terra and describes as a material that has drawn artisans and architects for centuries. From the start, the founders summed up the service they wanted in three words: charming, exemplary and meticulous. That vocabulary turns up on the menu, where nearly every service carries the Terra name, from the signature manicure to a builder gel set and a grooming menu for men.

The Terra Signature Manicure is the benchmark: shaping, cuticle care, a massage, OPI or Zoya polish, quick dry and cuticle oil, in roughly 45 minutes to an hour, for S$45. The matching pedicure adds a foot soak and scrub for S$60. Switch to gel and the Terra Gel Manicure costs S$85 and the Terra Gel Pedicure S$100, using CND Shellac, Japanese Presto or Bio Sculpture EVO2, and taking about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.

For weak or brittle nails, the Terra Builder Sculpt Manicure lays Presto base gel and Presto sculpting gel over your own nails for S$150, takes about an hour and 25 minutes, and is designed to last four to six weeks depending on growth. If you are rushing between meetings, the Go-getter Express Gel Manicure strips the service back to shape, gel and cuticle oil for S$65 in about 45 minutes, and the Go-getter pedicure costs S$75.

The spa end of the menu brings in Swiss Mavex treatments. The Painted Indulgence Spa Manicure with a dark spot hand treatment runs an hour and 20 minutes for S$125, and the Indulgence Spa Pedicure with an alpine herbs foot spa and a complimentary callus treatment runs an hour and a half for S$145. Sculpted gel extensions with a signature gel manicure cost S$235, or S$285 if a full set of old extensions has to come off first.

Painted runs a Men's Essentials menu rather than tucking a single grooming line at the bottom of the page. The Terra Executive Hand Grooming, at S$50 for about 45 minutes, covers shaping, cuticle care, buffing and a hand massage with a clean natural buff and no colour. The Terra Performance Recovery Pedicure, S$125 for about an hour and 45 minutes, adds a blade-free Mavex callus peel and is pitched at runners, HYROX athletes, golfers and frequent flyers.

Children get a menu of their own. Delfi Orchard lists a Mini Me Manicure for under-12s at S$15 for 15 minutes, which makes it one of the easier Orchard salons for a parent to bring a child along to, and the booking page tags the outlet as kid-friendly. The outlet is also listed as wheelchair accessible, which matters for anyone visiting with a wheelchair or a pushchair.

The brand describes the room in plain terms: the lighting is dimmer than you expect, the pedicure chairs are spaced apart, and sound, scent and temperature are chosen rather than left on default. While you sit, staff offer tea, lemongrass, coffee or water. One reviewer summed up the room as immaculately clean with very friendly staff, and the overall rating on the booking platform sits at 5 out of 5 across more than 2,600 reviews.

The name you will hear most is Genie, the store manager, who has completed more than 9,000 appointments on Fresha since October 2020 and carries a 5-star rating across over 800 reviews. In October 2026 one client thanked her by name for perfect nails, and another said the staff were gentle and friendly as always. A review from a visitor recommended the salon to anyone coming to Singapore, and to Singaporeans too.

This is not the budget option. The signature service is billed as all-inclusive with no hidden add-ons, but soaking off an existing gel set adds S$20, and the extensions service can run up to three and a half hours, so it is a poor choice for a lunch break. If you want coffee and cake with your manicure, book The Cathay or Dunearn Village instead, because the A Slow Cup lounge is not part of the Delfi Orchard outlet.

Book through Fresha, where slots are confirmed instantly, the same number used for calls. Payment is by cash, credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Orchard MRT on the North-South and Thomson-East Coast lines is the closest station, with Orchard Boulevard on the Thomson-East Coast line as the other option.

Buses stop right outside at the Delfi Orchard stop, number 09169, served by routes including 7, 36, 77, 105, 106, 111, 123, 132 and 174. Drivers should look for the car park entrance in the lane between Delfi Orchard and Claymore Connect, reached from Claymore Road.

Next door, Palais Renaissance holds PS.Cafe along with Maison Marcel and the Japanese grill Shatoburian Yakiniku, which makes a late lunch after a morning gel set easy. Directly across the road, Forum The Shopping Mall is the place to carry on shopping. Book a 10:00AM slot and you can be out with dry nails before the lunch crowd fills either building.
