Nail Salon Near Me in Dempsey for Footlogix Pedis: Trimmings Salon & Spa

Trimmings Salon & Spa asks guests in its nail room to switch off their mobile phones and keep voices at spa volume during treatments. The salon occupies 75B Loewen Road, Singapore 248852, on Dempsey Hill, opens at 9 am six days a week and charges S$64 for its Footlogix Professional Pedi. For anyone typing nail salon near me from Tanglin or Holland Road, it is the Dempsey address with free parking and a menu built around pedicures.

The business did not start as a hair salon. By its own account, it began as Spa @ Loewen Gardens, offering nail and facial services in the quiet green pocket of Dempsey, and clients who trusted the manicurists started asking for haircuts as well. Hair was added over time, and the spa was renamed Trimmings Salon & Spa, putting hair, nails, facials and waxing under one brand on Loewen Road.

That origin still shows on the menu. Nail care is one of the longest lists on the Dempsey page, running from a S$16 shape and polish to private-room gel sets, and the salon says it built much of its expertise serving Singapore's expatriate community. A second branch at Tudor Court in Orchard concentrates on hair, so the Dempsey Hill house is the one to book for manicures, pedicures and foot treatments.

The Footlogix Professional Pedi is the treatment to know. It runs 60 minutes for S$64, or S$69.76 with 9% GST, and covers nail and cuticle care, callus care, exfoliation and a foot massage before polish. From October to December the salon is upgrading its Aromathérapie, Sports and Gel pedicures to the Footlogix Pedi at no extra charge, which makes this quarter a sensible time to try it.

Below and above it sit clear steps. The Aromathérapie Pedicure takes 45 minutes for S$52 with callus care, exfoliation and massage. The Spa Pedicure stretches to 75 minutes for S$70 and adds a nourishing mask from the Karin Herzog skincare line. The Classique Gel Pedicure costs S$78 for 75 minutes, and an Express Pedicure of nail shaping, cuticle care, foot filing and polish takes 20 minutes for S$27.

Hands follow the same logic. A Classique Gel Manicure is 60 minutes for S$63 and includes a hand massage, while the Express Gel Manicure drops the massage and takes 45 minutes for S$54. The Spa Manicure, also built on Karin Herzog products, runs 60 minutes for S$60 with exfoliation and a mask. Booking gel hands and feet together as the Classique Gel Manicure & Pedicure costs S$140 for 125 minutes.

For nails that keep splitting, the salon offers BIAB, a builder gel that adds structure to the natural nail and can be refilled as it grows. A first BIAB Natural Nail Builder takes 90 minutes for S$85, and the Maintain & Infill visit is S$70. Add-ons are priced individually: a Gel Base Strengthener costs S$8, a French tip or cat's eye finish S$15, and custom art starts at S$5 per nail.

Regulars tend to book by name. Fresha reviews posted in October 2026 single out Shan for very thorough pedicures and Helen for reliably good manicures, and one guest described a lovely, peaceful setting after a nail and blow-dry visit. The salon holds a 4.9 rating from 3,735 reviews on that platform, a volume that points to a large base of repeat clients rather than one-off visitors.

Children and men have their own sections. The Petite Princesse Manicure for ages 2 to 9 costs S$20, a Teen Manicure for ages 10 to 16 is S$32, and the For Him list starts with a S$36 Sports Manicure. Guests who want privacy can book the Personal Room, where a gel manicure costs S$85 and a combined gel manicure and pedicure runs 150 minutes for S$185.

The etiquette page is specific. Guests are asked to arrive five to ten minutes early, and a late arrival may mean a shortened or rescheduled service. Changes need 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations within six hours and no-shows are recorded, and after three in a year the salon asks for a deposit on future bookings. Tipping is not expected, and services and product purchases are non-refundable.

Timing outside the posted hours has a price. The salon will open early or stay late when staff are available, but a slot between 8:30 am and 8:59 am adds S$30, and a 7 am start adds S$150, paid in advance. If gel chips, a gel polish touch-up is free within four days of the appointment, and a regular polish touch-up is free within two days.

Skip the Express Gel Manicure unless you are truly short on time. At S$54 it saves only S$9 against the Classique Gel Manicure, and you give up the hand massage and fifteen minutes of care that make a Dempsey trip worthwhile. This is also not the studio for elaborate hand-painted sets, because art is sold as a per-nail add-on and the website's portfolio section is still marked coming soon.

The other limit is the calendar. Trimmings is closed on Sundays and public holidays and shuts at 6 pm on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. If you need a Sunday slot or a late evening set, The Nailist at Raffles Holland V on Holland Avenue is a short drive west and lists daily hours of 10 am to 9 pm, public holidays included, on its own website.

Dempsey Hill grew out of former British army barracks, and the long low blocks along Dempsey Road now hold restaurants, galleries and furniture showrooms under deep eaves. After a pedicure, flat sandals and a slow wander under those covered walkways let the polish settle. Huber's Butchery on Dempsey Road runs a bistro beside its meat counter, a practical lunch stop after a morning appointment.

For greenery, head toward Napier Road and the Tanglin Gate of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which became Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015. Entry to the main gardens is free, and Napier station on the Thomson-East Coast Line sits beside the gate, so a garden walk after your appointment ends right at the MRT. The National Orchid Garden inside charges its own ticket.

Address: Trimmings Salon & Spa, 75B Loewen Road, Singapore 248852, with free parking on site. Hours: Monday 9 am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday 9 am to 6 pm, closed on Sundays and public holidays. Book through the salon website or Fresha, and mention allergies or medical conditions when you book.

Menu prices are quoted before the 9% GST, so the S$63 Classique Gel Manicure comes to S$68.67 at the counter. Gel removal costs S$20 to S$40 depending on the set. From Monday to Thursday, combining hair, nail and spa services in one appointment earns 5% off at Dempsey Hill, though express services are excluded. Ask Karpo in the Karpo APP to pair your pedicure slot with a lunch table on Dempsey Road.
