Beauty Near Tampines MRT: Salons, Malls and What to Book (2026)
Tampines MRT is one of the easiest places in the east to get almost any beauty treatment done. Four malls sit around the interchange, and the HDB estate around them is full of long-running neighbourhood salons. Expect value facials from about $30 to $70, gel manicures from about $35, and plenty of threading, waxing, Korean hair and scalp care.
Tampines is a stop on both the East-West Line (EW4) and the Downtown Line (DT32), so it’s an easy trip from most of the east and from town. The trick is knowing which mall to head for, because each one leans a slightly different way.
Here’s what’s around the station, what it’s good for, what things cost, and 10 salons worth booking.
What’s Around Tampines MRT
Tampines is a major regional centre, and the beauty scene is built for families and value. Most people here are shopping for a regular facial, a quick threading session, or a haircut for the whole family, not a one-off splurge.
- Tampines 1. The most facial-heavy of the malls, with Korean express facials, pigmentation-focused skin spas, nail studios, and Korean and family hair salons.
- Tampines Mall. The heartland anchor at the interchange: hair and scalp spas, facials, massage and TCM wellness, and threading.
- Century Square. Strongest on hair (family and ladies’ salons), plus facials, waxing and scalp care.
- Our Tampines Hub. The community hub next to the interchange, with a smaller, all-in-one mix of nails, facials, hair and lashes.
Slightly further out, Income at Tampines Junction has facial, body and head spa studios, and Eastlink Mall in Tampines Central has a neighbourhood hair salon and value facial and threading spots. Beyond the malls, the wider Tampines area is dotted with HDB-block salons, some of them running for decades.
