AI image by LocalRankLearning nails or lashes in Singapore usually means choosing between a short weekend workshop, a multi-day beginner course and a longer qualification at a registered college. This guide lists seven academies and studios that publish nail art or eyelash extension courses on their own sites, across Bugis, City Hall, Chinatown, Somerset and Kovan. We describe each course only as the provider presents it, and we leave out fees, pass rates and job-placement promises. Treat certificate wording as the provider's own statement. Read the course page for current intakes, then message the school with your questions before you pay anything or book a model.
1. Toni International College
Toni International College is a beauty and hair training college based in Bugis Village. Its site lists a VTCT (ITEC) Level 2 Certificate in Nail Art, presented as a 125-hour face-to-face programme with modules on manicure and pedicure, nail art techniques such as marbling, dotting, foiling and freehand painting, and salon practice. Its lash and brow category also lists single strand eyelash extension and professional volume eyelash extension courses, alongside lash lift and tint. The college says it has trained students since 1977 and describes itself as an SSG-registered private education institution, which is its own statement and worth confirming with the relevant bodies. It suits learners wanting a structured route covering both crafts. Check the course pages for current intakes.
2. Beauty Academy (Aesthetics International Academy)
Beauty Academy is the trading name of Aesthetics International Academy, which says it was formerly Yoyogi Hairdressing and Beauty School. For lashes, its site lists a short Certificate in Eyelash Extension that can be taken within three days, a Certificate in Advanced Eyelash Extension, and a longer VTCT (ITEC) Level 3 Certificate in Eyelash Extension. The short course page states an educator-student ratio of 1:6 and says no examination is required, with a certificate of participation awarded after the lessons. The school also publishes brochures and a student guide on choosing a private school or its courses. Its published course menu is mostly beauty therapy, so it suits learners who want lashes alongside wider qualifications. Confirm what is currently running before enrolling.

3. The Pink Room International Nail Academy
The Pink Room International Nail Academy is a nail-only school near Chinatown. Its course menu includes a Professional Manicurist Certificate, certificates in gel extension and acrylic extension techniques, a Professional Salon Nail Art Certificate, an e-filing nail drill workshop and a Japan manicure technique class. The nail art workshop page describes a 24-hour professional salon nail arts programme covering freehand, embossed, 3D and mixed media work, and says people with no nail experience are welcome. The site also mentions invited overseas trainers for seminars. Its online news was last dated in late 2024, so ask the academy directly which intakes and workshops are running now, and how the certificates are issued, before you commit.
4. Sunny Nails
Sunny Nails is a nail studio at North Bridge Centre that also runs an academy training section. Its training page lists two programmes. Perfect Manicure is a four-day course with a small seat count that alternates theory blocks, such as nail anatomy, product chemistry, safety and disinfection, with practical sessions, and the page says a certificate is included and that students complete portfolio photos. Manicure Technique is a one-day masterclass built around a live demonstration by the studio's educator. Both are shown as upcoming with dates to be announced, so the page is best read as an interest list rather than a fixed timetable. It suits beginners who prefer learning inside a working salon environment. Message the studio through its contact page for current dates.

5. Jealash Beauty Studio & Academy
Jealash runs a lash and brow studio with an academy from Spazio @ Kovan. Its Signature Eyelash Extensions masterclass is described as a four-day course for complete beginners, covering lash fundamentals, isolation, adhesive control and volume techniques. The page says classes are capped at six students, taught in English or Malay, and use mannequins and live models, with two models needed per student. It also lists a published November 2026 intake, a professional kit included in the fee and a refresher course for graduates. The same site teaches Japan keratin lash lift and brow lamination. Because the studio operates by appointment, use its contact form or WhatsApp number to ask about dates, model requirements and what the kit contains before you reserve a place.

6. The Lash House
The Lash House is a lash studio that publishes two eyelash extension courses taught at its City Hall studio. The Beginner course is described as four in-person days of six hours, starting with theory and mannequin practice before moving to live models, and covers classic and YY lash techniques, hygiene, lash mapping and isolation. A two-day Advanced course targets people who already work with lashes and focuses on trending styles and mapping. The page says a certificate of completion is awarded after the course and lists a starter pack and practice kit with the beginner programme. Separate lash lift and eyebrow embroidery courses are also published. Ask how many live models you will need before you book.
7. J.Lashes
J.Lashes is an eyelash and brow studio near Somerset that lists a Beginners Course on its courses page. The course is described as three afternoon lessons, one week apart, with four students per class. Lesson one covers introductions to styles, tools and work-area preparation, with tweezer practice and a mannequin head; lessons two and three move to supervised application, removal and lower lash work on a live model that students bring themselves. The page says a kit with tools and products is included, along with a J.Lashes certificate, post-course support and a discount towards an upgrade course. Ask who your model can be, how revision support works and whether an advanced class is currently open.
How to choose
- Decide whether you want a formal qualification or a practical skill. A multi-month college route and a three-day beginner class lead to different outcomes. Ask each provider what its certificate is, who issues it, and whether it is the provider's own certificate, then check that issuer's own pages yourself.
- Check how much hands-on time you actually get. Some courses start on mannequin heads and move to live models, and some ask you to bring your own model. Ask about class size, how many models you must source, and who supervises when you practise.
- Look at what the kit and materials include before comparing anything else. Providers describe starter kits differently, and some courses are tied to one brand of products. Ask for a written list of what is included, what you must buy later, and how adhesive, gel and removal products are handled safely.
- Match the course to your goal, whether that is a hobby, a home-based service or a salon job. A one-day nail workshop will not cover what a multi-day gel or lash programme does. Ask the school what graduates can realistically do afterwards, and treat any career claim as marketing until you see evidence.
- Confirm dates, refund terms and support after class in writing. Several pages here show upcoming intakes without fixed dates, and a few are quiet online. Message the provider, ask for the current timetable, find out what revision or refresher help follows, and keep every confirmation message.
