Beautician jobs and services in Singapore: pay, prices and licences

Updated 4 November 2026

Beauty treatments in Singapore run from about S$25 for a small top-up, such as ear candling, to S$170 for a body glow treatment, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Many price lists are marked "++", which means extra charges are added to the price shown. Wage levels are not stated in the sources checked for this article, so ask sellers for a current pay range in your request.

Licences for salons and spas

No licence is needed to cut hair or do nails in Singapore, but a spa that offers massage needs a massage establishment licence. Its fees are S$290 for one year, S$440 for two years and S$590 for three years, and the applicant must be 21 or over and "fit and proper". Aesthetic clinics must also be licensed by the Ministry of Health, so ask a clinic to show its licence before you book a procedure.

Training and courses

Beauty courses are listed at around 370 hours over four months, and fees vary by school. Compare the total cost, the hours and the certificate on offer before you enrol, because a course fee alone does not show what you will pay in the end.

Season and planning

Singapore is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. There is no winter peak, so plan bookings and staff rotas for any month of the year, and keep some slots free for the wet months when plans change at short notice.

What to put in the request

Say which treatments you need or offer, the pay range, the workplace and its type of venue, such as a salon, spa, clinic or hotel. Add the schedule, the education and work experience you expect, and any branding you want, for example a house style or a particular treatment menu. Name the area, for example Tampines, Woodlands or Jurong West, so that sellers can answer for the right place.
