Put down that razor. A smoother you awaits at these top spots for waxing, laser hair removal and threading.
We’d kill for full, voluminous hair – hence our fondness for regular blowouts at the salon. But hair on anywhere else except our heads? Not so much. Since the shaggy look isn’t coming back in style anytime soon, here’s a handy guide on where to go for waxing, threading, IPL, and laser hair removal treatments in Singapore. Unwanted hair, begone!

Beauty Room
A sister brand of Home Nails, Beauty Room is winning the hearts of the well-groomed with its flawless facials and seamless waxing. What scores major brownie points for us? Its pain-free IPL treatments. Using SharpLight Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC), hair removal is non-invasive and clean, with only minimal discomfort. While the rate of hair reduction depends on your hair growth, many report seeing massive changes after just three treatments. Check out our review of Beauty Room’s IPL-DPC treatment – needless to say, we were mighty impressed!

Supersmooth
In the words of Supersmooth, “Razor blade? Laser, babe.” The hair removal brand in Singapore uses lasers to skip your skin and go straight to the roots of your hair to damage it before the hairs come off after two weeks. That also means the procedure is safe for all skin tones. We stan an inclusive brand! Unlike IPL, these lasers target the fine hairs that grow in place of these coarser hairs. Eight sessions are included with each package, but if those aren’t enough to completely rid you of your hair, the salon offers a three-year warranty to cover any additional sessions.
Supersmooth, multiple locations including Robinson Road and Far East Square
The Aesthetics Centre
Similarly, The Aesthetics Centre uses lasers for safe hair removal without damaging the skin, promising long-lasting results. Those with tan skin tones need not worry as all procedures are done or personally supervised by Dr. Anita Soosay, who holds a special interest in laser hair removal for tanned skin patients. You’re totally in good hands!

Skin Lab
Stuck in a hairy situation? This popular medical spa uses 12PL Permanent Hair Removal that targets melanin in the hair shaft to remove the roots, preventing them from re-growing. Skin Lab’s great if you’re seeking to remove hair on larger areas like your back, as well as removing thicker and darker hair. Permanent hair removal? Sign us up. A little heads-up: This treatment might sting a bit.

Peachy Skin Bar
There’s a new laser hair removal technology on the block and it may be even more comfortable than IPL. Enter: SHR, a more advanced technology that releases gentler pulses of energy at a higher frequency than IPL. This is said to make the treatment more effective and longer-lasting, with minimal skin trauma. Targeting both coarse and fine hairs, SHR is an effective treatment that’s suitable for all skin types – even sensitive skin!
Curious to test it out for yourself? Swing by a SHR sesh at Peachy Skin Bar and complement it with its Fuzz+ Therapy to soothe your skin.

Sugared
At this certified sugaring studio, Brazilian treatments are significantly less painful. Using 100% natural and water-soluble sugar paste, sugar paste is applied at body temperature so scalding never occurs (been there, done that – never again). Hair is then removed in its natural direction of growth, which leads to lesser hair breakage and fewer ingrown hairs. Remember to hydrate yourself and exfoliate between sugaring sessions; it’s the best way to keep skin healthy for better results. Take it from us. Sugaring will change your life.
Sugared, multiple locations including Bukit Timah, Upper Thomson, Downtown and Katong
Benefit Brow Bar
There’s a reason why Brow Bar makes wax converts out of people. The waxes are incredibly swift, painless and, most importantly, they deliver polished, well-shaped brows. Brows aside, you can remove your other unwanted facial fuzz here too, with the lips, chin and sides wax.
