La Boutique Vietnam is one of Tanjong Pagar's longest-standing nail salons, established in 2009 and anchored at Tanjong Pagar Plaza for over a decade. Run by owner Queenie, the salon lives by its motto of heart, soul and passion, offering the full range of nail services: manicures and pedicures, extensions, nail enhancement, gel overlay and structure gel, nail treatments, calluses treatment, foot spa and scrub, and hand-painted nail art led by Queenie herself.
Over more than sixteen years in the trade, the team has served thousands of customers, from local regulars who return week after week to international visitors who make the salon a fixed stop whenever they are in Singapore. In October 2024, nearme featured La Boutique Vietnam as one of the best nail salons in Tanjong Pagar — recognition the team attributes to its customers' continued support.
What keeps people coming back, reviews suggest, is how they are treated. The salon describes itself as honest and flat-rated, with one-to-one friendly service, free no-obligation consultations, flexible and reliable appointments, and continued after-care advice — and, as one long-time client puts it, no drama, no frills and no hard selling. Cleanliness and maintenance, creativity, and ongoing education in new trends and styles round out the salon's stated values.
Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can be made by calling +65 8139 5333 or emailing [email protected]. The salon is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm, with shorter Sunday hours from 11am to 5pm.
Step off the bustle of Tanjong Pagar and into one of the neighbourhood's most enduring beauty fixtures. La Boutique Vietnam has been caring for nails since 2009, and for more than a decade the salon has made its home at Tanjong Pagar Plaza, where owner Queenie and her team have built one of the district's most loyal followings. The salon's motto — heart, soul and passion — reads less like a slogan and more like a description of how the place is run.
Longevity is only part of the story. Over sixteen years in the trade and twelve at the Plaza, the team has served thousands of customers, from local regulars to international visitors who book in as a matter of habit whenever they return to Singapore. Some reviews border on devotion: one client says she travels an hour across the island for her pedicures with Queenie, praising her patience, her focus and the complete absence of hard selling. Another visitor, jet-lagged and fresh off a plane, called it the best mani-pedi she had experienced in Singapore — and reported four weeks later that the polish was still intact.
That reputation has earned outside recognition, too. In October 2024, nearme featured La Boutique Vietnam as one of the best nail salons in Tanjong Pagar — an acknowledgement the team credits to its customers' continued support.
Queenie is the salon's centre of gravity. Clients describe her as meticulous, kind and deeply creative, and it is her hand behind much of the intricate nail art that fills the salon's galleries on Facebook and Instagram.
Nail care is treated as the foundation of every service here. Healthy, strong nails, the team believes, come down to the care they receive, and they are happy to advise on treatments and how to avoid common problems. On top of that base sits a full menu: manicures using their own polish-application technique designed for the longest-lasting wear; pedicures ranging from basic tidies to full foot and nail care, including calluses treatment; extensions and nail enhancements for length and strength; gel overlay and structure gel for durability; and a foot spa with scrub for tired feet.
Art is where the salon really shows off. Designs are hand-painted by Queenie herself — modern, innovative and, as they put it, try some bling. French tips get a contemporary update, the nail spa offers a proper de-stress, and bridal and occasion nails have been entrusted to the team by regulars and first-timers alike for their biggest days.
What regulars mention most, though, is how the salon makes them feel. La Boutique Vietnam describes itself as an honest, flat-rated nail salon — no surprises, no upselling. Service is one-to-one, friendly and personal, with free no-obligation consultations and continued after-care advice and support once you leave the chair. The stated mission is simple: friendly, personalised service from a team of highly skilled and creative professionals, where teamwork keeps the customer always the priority. Cleanliness and maintenance sit high on the values list, alongside creativity and a commitment to continued education in new trends and styles.
The aftercare is practical, too. Gel nails, with normal use and care, are expected to last up to four weeks — and should anything chip in the days after your visit, you are invited to pop back in for a touch-up on the house.
You will find the salon at 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #01-07B. Walk-ins are welcome, though calling ahead on +65 8139 5333 is the surest way to secure a chair; appointments can also be arranged by email. Doors are open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm, with shorter hours on Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Whether it is a routine manicure or a complete service with art for a special occasion, the promise is the same one that has kept customers coming back since 2009: heart, soul and passion, applied one nail at a time.
