Collate Nails is a beauty parlour at #01-26 of Hougang Green Shopping Mall, offering nail care, eyelash extensions, hair removal and scar camouflage under one roof. Its stated vision is to be the best beauty parlour in Singapore, delivered through what it calls care to perfection — exceptional attention to detail in every service, from a quick express manicure to a full set of lashes.
The nail menu spans classic, Gelish, express, gentleman, kids' and halal manicures and pedicures, along with Aprés, half tip, polygel and acrylic extensions, overlays and nail art designs. Beyond nails, trained technicians apply individual eyelash extensions in a wide array of styles, perform Diode 808 laser hair removal and waxing, offer scar camouflage using organic Korean pigments, and provide relaxing pampering treatments.
The salon runs on a no hard-selling, no-gimmicks philosophy, prioritising trust and long-term client relationships. Tools are sanitised, run through a UV steriliser and individually packaged for each client, and products are chosen for quality and safety. Appointments can be booked online in a few clicks or arranged over the phone, with a WhatsApp line open for free consultations and trial quotes on special requests. A companion online shop, Nails by Collate, sells precision-customised press-on nails for salon-style looks at home.
Tucked into #01-26 of Hougang Green Shopping Mall, Collate Nails bills itself as "your favourite beauty parlour in Singapore" — a title the team is working hard to earn. Its stated vision is to be the best beauty parlour in the country, and it pursues that goal not with flashy gimmicks but through what it calls "care to perfection": exceptional attention to detail in every service, from a quick express manicure to a full set of eyelash extensions.
The heart of the business is nails. The menu covers classic manicures and pedicures — clipping, shaping, buffing and cuticle care, with foot exfoliation and scrubbing included in pedicures — alongside Gelish, express and gentleman versions, gentle treatments for kids, and halal-conscious options. For clients after length, the salon offers Aprés soft-gel extensions that cover the entire nail bed so natural nails can grow undamaged, plus half tip, polygel and acrylic extensions. Overlays strengthen the natural nail, and a wide selection of colours and design styles lets your nails make a statement of their own.
Collate Nails has grown well beyond the manicure table. Trained technicians apply eyelash extensions lash by lash, carefully selected for length and thickness, so clients can wake up to fuller, more glamorous lashes that need minimal daily maintenance. Hair removal comes in two forms: Diode 808 laser treatment, which uses a fixed 808nm wavelength and a cooling mechanism to keep discomfort down across a recommended series of six to eight sessions, and waxing with WaxXXX methods that the salon describes as less painful than many alternatives, leaving skin smoother and regrowth finer.
One of the more distinctive offerings is scar camouflage, a non-invasive treatment using organic, plant-based pigments sourced from Korea to blend scars, stretch marks, birthmarks, dark under-eyes and other colour concerns into the surrounding skin. Sessions take around half an hour, treatments are spaced six to eight weeks apart, and results generally last between one and a half and two years. In between it all, pampering treatments offer a relaxing reset for busy lives.
What the salon says sets it apart is trust. The team explicitly promises no hard-selling and no gimmicks, focusing instead on building long-term relationships with clients. Hygiene is taken seriously: every tool is sanitised and run through a UV steriliser before being individually packaged for the next client, and products are chosen for safety and quality, with precision treated as non-negotiable in every aspect of the work.
Booking is deliberately simple. Pick a service on the website, click "Book Service", and choose a date, time and treatment; for immediate slot availability, call the hotline, and the WhatsApp line is open for free consultations and trial quotes on special requests. Payments are accepted in cash, NETS, PayNow, GrabPay and FavePay, and regular promotions — currently $78 eyelash extensions and $78 classic gel manicures with design — make trying something new easy.
For those who prefer DIY glamour, the salon also runs Nails by Collate, an online shop selling precision-customised press-on nails designed for a salon-quality fit at home. Whether you're a Hougang regular popping in for a Gelish refresh or visiting the neighbourhood for lashes, laser or a pampering session, Collate Nails aims to send you out the door feeling a little more radiant than when you walked in.
