Un-gatekeeping my fav nail salon in the West! 🤫
Hello Zesties!
It has been awhile since I shared any beauty related reviews and I’ve been wanting to post about this for the longest time! I decided to wait till I am 100% sure that this will be the only nail salon I’ll be gg to for now before I post anything about it and here it is!
✨ Sad story
Before I found this place, I’ve always frequent the nail salons in Far East or Yishun but sometimes, the travelling itself is just so tiring.. (Westies, you feel me??) and since I’ve super brittle and thin nails that break and spilt so easily, the nails I’ve done always dont last. Longest 1 mth max and I’ve to take a break for a few mths before doing again otherwise the next set usually lasted only 2 weeks plus.. sigh!
PLUS I only ever had short nails since I was a kid due to this unless i do exts (which made my nails condition worse hahaha 🥹)
Then, I found THE place.
✨Why I like it
The only one which I am able to frequent every 1-2 mths since Nov last yr and my nails haven’t been short or brittle since! I love it. 🥺 Idk what magic they’ve done cause I’ve been observing the process every single time I was thr but all of it just seems pretty standard and basic to me. Somehow for whatever reasons, the nails they have done for me always last for min. 1 to even 2 mths and still gg strong!! And I recently added overlays which makes my nails stronger and lasted even longer. 💖
Another reason which makes me continue patronising them is the price! I find it pretty affordable (classic gel mani @ $35/-) considering other salons I saw online are pricing their classic gel mani at ard $55++ and above.
✨People
They are all Vietnamese and the lbn’s name is Linh. She is super bubbly and nice to talk to too 🥺 And she is the only one at the moment who can do nail art and also eyelash exts in the shop. The rest of the girls can only do basic gel but they are all quite attentive and will always check up on you (if its painful, is the nail shape ok etc). You can always tell them your concerns and how you want your nails shape to be and they are very very patient to do it till you’re satisfied!
I foresee that I will keep going back to the shop, probably till i found another alternative which lasts much longer/cheaper/nearer (though i think its pretty tough, but lmk if you have other recommendations? lol)
✨ All good, no cons??
Of course there is. And it’s the waiting time sometimes lol.. not every time but occassionally when I was there, I have to wait quite awhile cause they are so busy and short of manpower. I ever experienced gg there at ard 6.15-6.30pm and only ended at 8pm for simple classic mani+pedi (even tho I ardy made an appt).
I wouldn’t say every shop is perfect but to me, this is just something trivial since it hasn’t affected my schedule so far and, doesn’t happen every single time. Do whatsapp Linh to check and better to make an appt anws LOL

If you're like me and struggle with brittle, thin nails that break easily, finding a reliable nail salon that can actually improve your nail condition is a game changer. I was so impressed with the results at Linh's Nails & Lashes, especially the hard gel overlays that add strength and durability without damaging my nails further. I love that Linh herself is talented not only in nail art but also provides eyelash extensions, making it a convenient one-stop beauty spot. The staff’s patience and attention to detail really make a difference—they always ask about your comfort and adjust the nail shape exactly how you want it. From my personal experience, although sometimes you might wait a bit because the place gets busy, it’s totally worth it. Booking an appointment via WhatsApp ahead of time really helps reduce waiting. Prices are super reasonable too, with classic gel manicures starting at $35, which is cheaper than many other salons in Singapore. The images I took show my nails before and after getting hard gel overlays. Before, my nails lasted about one month, but after the overlays, I enjoyed stronger and longer-lasting nails for up to two months. I switched from round to coffin-shaped nails too, and both styles held up great. If you’re in the West and tired of traveling far just for nail care, give Linh’s a try. The salon’s location near Clementi MRT is convenient, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it a relaxing place for a pampering session. I definitely plan to keep coming back and hope this review helps anyone searching for a trusted nail salon in the Clementi area.
How’s the retention?
