About Kinohana Nail Studio

KinoHana Singapore is a nail studio established in 2017, now based in a conservation shophouse on Amoy Street since relocating there in May 2023. The salon has embraced a vintage-inspired theme for its space, giving the studio a distinct, nostalgic atmosphere for clients.

KinoHana offers an extensive collection of over 400 colours and designs, using Japanese products to ensure quality, long-lasting results. Core services include Japanese gel manicures and pedicures, nail art, nail extensions (nail tips, gel, and acrylic), and nail spa treatments.

The studio is led by director Kokia, a Leaf Gel Educator who holds JNEC 2nd grade, JNA advanced level, and Calgel certificates. She's joined by nailist Li Min, who specialises in ingrown nail correction and is known for attentive, careful care of her clients. Both team members are fluent in Mandarin and English. KinoHana operates by appointment only.

KinoHana Singapore: Japanese Gel Nails in a Conservation Shophouse

KinoHana Singapore has been in business since 2017, but its current home dates back to May 2023, when the nail studio relocated into a conservation shophouse on Amoy Street. Set on the third level of the building, the space embraces a vintage-inspired theme, giving the studio a cosy, nostalgic feel that's distinct from the typical mall nail bar.

Japanese Craftsmanship, Hundreds of Choices

KinoHana's approach centres on using the finest Japanese products to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results. Clients have access to a collection of more than 400 colours and designs, giving plenty of room to find something that matches personal style rather than choosing from a limited rack of polishes. Core services include Japanese gel manicures and pedicures, custom nail art, and a dedicated nail spa treatment for those wanting a bit more pampering.

Extensions for Every Preference

For clients wanting length as well as colour, KinoHana offers three types of nail extensions built on top of a basic manicure or pedicure service: nail tips, gel extensions, and acrylic extensions. This tiered structure means clients can start with their preferred base service and add an extension option that suits their look and budget.

A Team With Real Credentials

KinoHana is led by director Kokia, who holds a JNEC 2nd grade certificate, a JNA advanced level certificate, and a Calgel certificate, and who also serves as a Leaf Gel Educator — training other nail professionals in gel techniques. She's joined by nailist Li Min, described as passionate and enthusiastic, who takes great care of her clients and has developed a particular specialty in ingrown nail correction — a service that requires real technical skill beyond standard manicures. Both Kokia and Li Min are fluent in Mandarin and English, making the studio accessible to a broad range of clients.

For those looking for a nail studio that pairs genuine technical expertise — from certified gel education to specialist ingrown nail correction — with a distinctive, characterful setting, KinoHana's shophouse location and Japanese-product focus set it apart from a standard nail bar.
