Sound familiar?

Beauty shouldn't sting,
or feel like a queue.

It shouldn't be this hard to find a gentle beauty salon in Little India. Too many visits end the same way:

  • Threading that makes your eyes water.
  • Cheap wax that leaves skin red and stinging.
  • Salons that rush you through like a number.

At Lovely, guests write the opposite

  • Threading guests call painless, gentle and quick, even on a first visit.
  • The highest quality wax, with no irritation whatsoever.
  • Welcomed by the owner, Mr Karthik, and looked after by name.

Walk-ins welcome, seven days a week.

First brow threading
First time threading my brows and the service was so good. Everyone was friendly, from the reception to the threading. Shalini was really attentive and nice throughout. The experience was painless and quick. Will come back again.

Brow threading
The threading was very painless, gentle and neatly done. Staff were friendly, patient and made me feel comfortable throughout. The salon was clean and welcoming too. One of the better threading experiences I've had.

One guest said it best

I've definitely found my new go-to spot for beauty services. The owner, Mr Karthik, was extremely hospitable. They've got great deals on waxing and facials, $75 for full arms, full leg and underarms is unheard of anywhere in Singapore. They use the highest quality wax, my partner did not experience any irritation or discomfort whatsoever. The interior is also extremely clean and nice-smelling. Definitely would recommend this place to my family and friends.

The Lovely story

A neighbourhood salon with a real heart.

Lovely opened its doors in 2024, in one of the old shophouses on Buffalo Road, right in the middle of Little India. It was built for the community around it, for Desi, by Desi, and that warmth is the first thing guests mention.

Mr Karthik, the owner, is usually on the floor welcoming guests himself. Shalini and Raini are thanked by name in review after review, for threading that does not hurt and for putting first timers instantly at ease.

The promise has stayed simple. Honest prices, proper care, and treatments that send you back onto Buffalo Road feeling exactly like the name over the door.
