Tiong Bahru Facials (2026): 5 Picks incl. Tiong Bahru Plaza
Where to Get a Tiong Bahru Facial (and a Tiong Bahru Plaza Facial)
Tiong Bahru is better known for its art-deco flats, bakeries and bookshops than for skincare, but a good facial here is easier to find than you might think. The beauty in this estate hides in plain sight: one floor up on the Kampong Bahru shophouses, on the ground floor of the Boon Tiong Road blocks, and a few escalator rides up inside Tiong Bahru Plaza, right by the MRT.
We went through every salon we have researched in Tiong Bahru and Tiong Bahru Plaza and kept the ones with real facial menus and steady, happy regulars. We also left out places where reviews keep raising sales pressure, because nobody wants a relaxing facial that ends in a package pitch. Every pick below can be booked through Glamingo, so you can lock in a slot without the WhatsApp back-and-forth.
If you want the wider neighbourhood, our guide to facial spas in Bukit Merah covers Redhill, Bukit Merah Central and beyond. This one stays inside Tiong Bahru.
What a Tiong Bahru Facial Is Actually Like
You get two quite different experiences within a ten-minute walk. Inside Tiong Bahru Plaza, it is mall convenience: express Korean facials you can walk into after work and established spa chains with long opening hours. Out in the estate, it is smaller and more personal: owner-run studios where the same person does your skin every visit and gets to know it.
On price, the wider Bukit Merah district is good value. Starting prices for a facial there usually run $80 to $135 (the published menus of 9 salons, Oct 2026), against $70 to $180 across Singapore. The Tiong Bahru picks below sit on both sides of that, from a quick express treatment to a long signature facial.

1. Lovgar Beauty
Best for: A long, unhurried facial where the owner does the work herself
Lovgar is a one-woman studio, and that is the whole point. Founder Loveena Sharma does every treatment herself, and reviewers mention her by name again and again, often after years of visits. The space comes up as “cosy” in review after review, and the 4.9-star rating is about as near-perfect as it gets. Lovgar started with threading and waxing, but its facial menu is the reason it is on this list: the Skin Reset Facial (deep clean plus light therapy) and the HF Treatment Facial both start from $135 for 90 minutes, and the Sculptural Lifting Facial runs 2 hours 15 minutes at $250.
The details: One floor up on the Kampong Bahru Road shophouses, a short walk toward Outram.

2. Kskin Korean Express Facial (Tiong Bahru Plaza)
Best for: A quick skin pick-me-up between errands
If you want a Tiong Bahru Plaza facial without blocking out half your Saturday, this is it. Kskin’s whole model is the 15-minute Korean express facial at $28 (V-Lift, Glow, Cleanse or Neck Care), with a 30-minute Combo at $50. The founders built the brand after finding hard selling at other salons stressful, so there are no packages and no appointments: you choose and pay at a kiosk and wait your turn. The Tiong Bahru outlet holds a 4.8-star rating across hundreds of reviews.
The details: Level 3 of Tiong Bahru Plaza, a short walk from Tiong Bahru MRT.

3. Heart Springs Spa (Tiong Bahru Plaza)
Best for: Pairing a facial with body care and TCM-inspired treatments
Heart Springs Spa has been around since 2002, which makes it one of the longer-running names in the mall. Its menu blends skin care facials with TCM-inspired treatments, body massage and lymphatic slimming therapy, so it suits anyone who wants a facial as part of a bigger reset rather than a one-off. It runs four outlets across Singapore, and the Tiong Bahru Plaza branch is open 10am to 9pm daily, handy for an after-work slot.

4. The Spa-Lon (Boon Tiong)
Best for: Picking a facial by skin goal from a long, specific menu
The Spa-Lon goes back to 1990, when founder Magdalene started it after years on a department-store beauty counter, and it has grown into a five-outlet chain. What sets it apart is the menu: facials are sorted by what your skin needs, from hydration and deep-cleansing to brightening, anti-ageing, acne and soothing treatments, priced from $249 up to $599 for its top anti-ageing facial. It also runs ATP38 lightwave therapy. The Boon Tiong outlet is the newest on Google, so its perfect score comes from only a handful of reviews so far.
The details: Ground floor of Block 11A on Boon Tiong Road. Closed on Thursdays.

5. HYY Beauty House (Tiong Bahru)
Best for: A neighbourhood facial with brows, lashes or makeup sorted on the same trip
On the same Boon Tiong block, HYY is a bilingual (English and Chinese) beauty house with facials as its signature. The menu also covers brow shaping and embroidery, lash extensions, makeup and massage, so it is a practical stop if you want your skin and brows done in one visit. The Tiong Bahru branch holds a 4.6-star rating and stays open until 9pm.
