Booking your first facial or switching salons? The smartest way in is a first-trial deal: a heavily discounted one-off session that lets you test a salon before committing to a package. We rounded up 6 of Singapore's best-known facial salons for 2026, each with a current, verified first-trial offer: My Cozy Room's award-winning Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial (120 min) at $144 (U.P. $338), Indulgence Beauty's Signature Acne Extraction Facial at $93 (U.P. $193, Mon–Fri daytime only), Shakura's Pigmentation Facial Therapy FREE (worth $300) for new customers, Caring Skin's CS-Hydra Mesotherapy Facial (90 min) at $139.52 (U.P. $346.62), Bio Aesthetic's HydraPeel / Hydrafacial from $68, and ESTHECLINIC's non-invasive French medi-facial at 50% off your first session. For each we explain what it does best, which skin concern it suits, the outlets, and the honest catch with trial deals (the upsell). We also break down what a hydrafacial actually costs in Singapore: Bio Aesthetic's $68 headline is the 30-minute Express tier, with the same listing running up to $180 for the 60-minute Hydrafacial MD Platinum, and the non-trial repeat price for those same tiers is $198–$468. Then there's where to go for back acne, since bacne is priced separately from face treatments everywhere (ESTHECLINIC's Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme starts at $128), and whether you can get a Korean 'glass skin' facial here (Bio Aesthetic's BB Glow, first trial from $168). Prices and terms are set by each salon and can change, so confirm before booking.
Booking your first facial is a lot less risky when you start with a first-trial deal: a one-off, new-customer session at a steep discount.
> Quick view: Shakura's pigmentation facial is a FREE first trial (worth $300); the rest run $68–$144. The catch: trial rates are new-customers-only, and Indulgence Beauty's $93 holds only Mon–Fri 11.30am–4pm.
The go-to name for a proper deep clean: My Cozy Room is a boutique Parisian-style facial spa best known for its multi-step Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial, a 120-minute treatment that thoroughly clears blackheads, whiteheads and congested pores while staying more comfortable than most manual extractions. First-trial price is $144 (U.P. $338). It has two central outlets: Claymore (442 Orchard Road, #02-09) and Devonshire (125 Devonshire Road, opposite 111 Somerset). BEST FOR: anyone with clogged pores, blackheads or acne congestion who wants meticulous, gentler extraction in a cosy, private setting. ALSO ON TRIAL: if your issue is active breakouts rather than congestion, the Ultimate Anti-Acne LED Facial (120 min) is $194 first trial (U.P. $338); for fine lines there's the BeKind Pro Anti-Aging Facial (120 min) at $198 first trial (U.P. $588); and there's a BeKind Signature Facial (90 min) at an off-peak $88 (U.P. $208) if you just want the cheapest way in. Book ahead, slots fill fast.
First-trial Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial (120 min) $144 (U.P. $338)
A value-friendly pick for breakout-prone skin: Indulgence Beauty focuses on extraction and acne care, and runs two nearly identically-named signature facials at two different trial prices: the Signature Acne Extraction Facial at $93 (U.P. $193) and the Signature Acne Treatment Facial at $103 (U.P. $243). Check which one you're booking. THE CONDITION MOST PEOPLE MISS: both trial rates apply only Mondays to Fridays, 11.30am to a 4pm last appointment; book a weekday evening or a Saturday and you pay 20% off (extraction) or 30% off (treatment) the usual price instead. The trial rate is also strictly for new customers residing in Singapore, so visitors get the same 20%/30% off the usual price rather than the $93 or $103. The trial rate is also void if you cancel or reschedule that first appointment, or if you request a specific therapist. The salon is at International Plaza (10 Anson Road, #02-58), a short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT, making it convenient for a lunchtime session in the CBD. BEST FOR: active acne, oily and congested skin, and anyone who can take a weekday-daytime slot. It also runs a separate Back Acne Treatment (60 min), price on enquiry. As with all trials, expect a package recommendation at the end, and you can decline and still enjoy the single treatment.
First-trial Signature Acne Extraction Facial $93 (U.P. $193), Mon–Fri, last appt 4pm
If dark spots, melasma or uneven tone are your main concern, Shakura is the best-known pigmentation specialist in Singapore, with a rose-based brightening approach. Its Pigmentation Facial Therapy is offered as a FREE first trial (worth $300) for new customers aged 21 and above, one of the most generous entry deals around. It has a wide islandwide network, and the current promo booking list covers JCube (Jurong East), Tiong Bahru Plaza, Yew Tee Point, Heartland Mall (Kovan) and Bishan Junction 8, with Plaza Singapura and Tampines 1 also operating; JCube and Tiong Bahru Plaza currently throw in a bonus 4-piece skincare kit. Note that Tiong Bahru Plaza appears on the promo booking list but not on the outlet-locations page, so confirm it is open before you travel. Conditions: new customers only who have not visited any Shakura outlet before, Singapore citizen/PR or valid pass holder, one redemption per person, and the free treatment is redeemable only after the consultation. BEST FOR: dark spots, freckles, melasma and dull, uneven skin tone. Pigmentation needs consistency, so treat the free trial as a test of the salon before deciding on any plan.
FREE first-trial Pigmentation Facial Therapy (worth $300), new customers aged 21+
A well-established name for gentle, hydrating treatments: Caring Skin caters to sensitive, dull and dehydrated skin. Its CS-Hydra Mesotherapy Trial Facial is a 90-minute session offered at $139.52 (U.P. $346.62) as a first-trial online offer, designed to boost hydration and refine the look of large pores while being suitable for all skin types. The session includes a VISIA skin analysis and a complimentary Cryo Meso Therapy. Important: although Caring Skin runs several outlets, this online trial is currently redeemable only at Caring Skin Heartland Mall (205 Hougang Street 21, #03-10). It's for first-time customers aged 16+ who are Singaporeans, PRs or hold an SP/WP/EP/DP/Student Pass with at least 6 months' validity, paid online (the trial price is online-payment only), with 90 days to redeem. Caring Skin also promises a swap: if the trial facial you bought turns out not to suit your skin after the VISIA analysis, it will replace it with one that does. If you're 16 or 17 you must be accompanied by a parent on the first visit, hold a valid student pass, and book a weekday 11am–5pm slot (public holidays excluded). BEST FOR: sensitive or reactive skin, dullness and dehydration, and anyone who prefers a soothing, results-focused facial over aggressive extraction.
First-trial CS-Hydra Mesotherapy Facial (90 min) $139.52 (U.P. $346.62)
For a gentle deep-cleanse with an instant glow, Bio Aesthetic's HydraPeel / Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment that combines hydradermabrasion, a light chemical peel and painless extractions, clearing and hydrating pores without the discomfort or redness of manual extraction, and with little to no downtime. First-trial pricing starts from $68. Outlets at Orchard (Palais Renaissance, 390 Orchard Road, #03-01) and Tampines (Income at Tampines Junction, 300 Tampines Avenue 5, #04-05). BEST FOR: anyone who wants brighter, deeply-cleansed skin fast (great before an event), and those who find manual extraction too harsh. The trial spans six options from HydraPeel Express (30 min) up to HydraPeel Prestige (90 min) and Hydrafacial MD Platinum, priced $68–$180, so check which tier the $68 rate covers. It's for first-time customers aged 21+ with valid ID, bookable Mon–Fri 11am–8.30pm and Sat 10am–6pm. WHAT VISIT TWO COSTS: Bio Aesthetic publishes the non-trial price for the same treatment as $198–$468 per session (30–90 min), so budget roughly 2.6–3x the trial rate for a repeat. HEADS UP (checked 7 September 2026): bioaesthetic.com.sg is not loading, so the online booking page behind these prices cannot be reached right now and the prices below were last confirmed on 26 August. The clinics themselves are open: Orchard is still listed as a Palais Renaissance tenant at #03-01 (6333 4566) and Tampines is at Income at Tampines Junction (6782 2777), so call or WhatsApp instead of booking online. ALSO HERE: its BB Glow "Korean Glass Skin" treatment (75 min, MTS nano-microneedling) is a first trial from $168 (U.P. $399), the one glass-skin trial among these six salons.
First-trial HydraPeel / Hydrafacial from $68 (options up to $180)
A French beauty-tech concept for results without needles or downtime: ESTHECLINIC (Paris) offers non-invasive medi-facials that combine technology such as LED light, gentle peels and AquaPure infusion, painless and marketed as safe for all skin types. New customers get 50% off their first facial session. It runs 5 stylish outlets: Orchard, Holland Village, East Coast, Serangoon Garden and Tanjong Pagar. BEST FOR: anyone wanting clinic-grade, tech-driven results (radiance, texture, mild pigmentation) in a calm, spa-like setting, without the intensity of manual extraction. THE ONE FOR BACNE: ESTHECLINIC runs a dedicated Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme from $128, the only published starting price for a back treatment among these six salons (Indulgence Beauty also does a 60-min Back Acne Treatment but quotes on enquiry). Back treatments are priced separately from face treatments everywhere, so a face trial won't cover it. Its IPL hair removal and EstheCryo fat freezing are likewise 50% off a first session. A consultation and skin analysis usually comes first, so flag any sensitivities.

First-trial prices are often below cost, so salons use the session to assess your skin and pitch a multi-session package at the end, sometimes firmly. That's normal, and you're not obliged to buy. Go in knowing your budget, enjoy the single session, and it's completely fine to say you'd like to think about it before signing anything.
There are really three price tiers, and most confusion comes from comparing across them:
| Tier | Typical price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| First-trial session | FREE–$144 | One-off, new-customers-only rate to try a salon (Shakura FREE, Bio Aesthetic from $68, Indulgence Beauty $93, Caring Skin $139.52, My Cozy Room $144) |
| Regular single session | ~$120–$470 | The walk-up price once you're no longer a new customer, e.g. Bio Aesthetic lists $198–$468 for the same hydrafacial tiers it trials at $68–$180, Indulgence Beauty $193–$243, My Cozy Room $338, Caring Skin $346.62 |
| Package (per session) | Varies widely | Multi-session blocks that lower the per-visit cost, the thing salons pitch at the end of a trial |
A hydrafacial or medi-facial generally sits at the higher end of a single session because of the machine and consumables involved, while a straightforward extraction or hydrating facial sits lower. When you're quoted a price, always ask which tier it is, because a "$68 facial" is usually a first-trial rate, not what you'll pay on your second visit.
"Hydrafacial" is a specific patented machine treatment (cleanse, exfoliate, painless vortex extraction, then serum infusion), which is why its price sits above a standard hydrating facial. In this guide the cheapest verified entry point is Bio Aesthetic's HydraPeel / Hydrafacial trial, which spans $68 to $180. The single most useful thing to know is that the headline "$68" is the shortest tier, not the flagship one. Bio Aesthetic's booking page lists six options under that one price range:
| Tier | Duration |
|---|---|
| HydraPeel Express | 30 min |
| HydraPeel Classic | 60 min |
| HydraPeel Prestige | 90 min |
| Hydrafacial MD Signature | 30 min |
| Hydrafacial MD Deluxe | 45 min |
| Hydrafacial MD Platinum | 60 min |
So a 30-minute Express sits at the bottom of the range and the 60-minute MD Platinum at the top. Pick the tier before you book, because "hydrafacial from $68" and "hydrafacial at $180" are the same listing. Conditions: first-time customers aged 21+, Singaporean/PR/EP/SP, one voucher per person, and you must not have visited in the past 12 months. Bookable Mon–Fri 11am–8.30pm and Sat 10am–6pm, closed Sundays and public holidays. A $20 surcharge applies to appointments in the two weeks before Chinese New Year.
What a hydrafacial costs once you're no longer new: Bio Aesthetic publishes the repeat price for the same treatment as $198 to $468 per session (30 to 90 minutes) against the $68–$180 trial band. That's the number to plan around (roughly 2.6 to 3x the trial rate), because it's what visit two actually costs.
One caveat on all of the Bio Aesthetic figures above: as at 7 September 2026 bioaesthetic.com.sg is not resolving, so its booking page cannot be opened and these tiers and prices stand as last confirmed on 26 August. The clinics are still trading (Orchard remains a listed Palais Renaissance tenant at #03-01), so phone 6333 4566 for Orchard or 6782 2777 for Tampines to confirm the current trial rate before you go.
Two more things worth knowing before you compare prices elsewhere:
If it's the *effect* you want rather than the brand (deep-cleansed, hydrated skin with no downtime before an event), Caring Skin's CS-Hydra Mesotherapy Facial at $139.52 for 90 minutes (U.P. $346.62, includes a VISIA skin analysis and a complimentary Cryo Meso Therapy) is the other machine-led hydrating trial in this guide.
Worth setting expectations first: none of the six salons in this guide is a Korean-brand chain. Shakura is Japanese-founded (its rose/milk-essence formula is the house signature), ESTHECLINIC is French, and My Cozy Room styles itself as a Parisian boutique spa. So if you specifically want a Korean-owned salon, this isn't the list. What you can get here is the Korean glass-skin treatment itself, which is a technique rather than a nationality.
The one verified first-trial glass-skin option among these salons is Bio Aesthetic's BB Glow "Korean Glass Skin" treatment: first trial from $168 (usual session $399), 75 minutes, at Orchard and Tampines. It uses MTS nano-microneedling to infuse skin-tone ampoules into the surface layer for a semi-permanent makeup-like glow, and is aimed at dull skin, uneven tone, mild pigmentation and post-acne marks. If you have active acne or irritated skin, that usually has to be settled first, and a hydrafacial or an extraction facial is the sensible starting point instead.
For bacne with a K-beauty angle, there is no Korean-brand back-acne trial among these six; the two dedicated back treatments available are ESTHECLINIC's Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme from $128 and Indulgence Beauty's Back Acne Treatment (60 minutes, price quoted on enquiry). See the next section.
Back facials are priced and booked separately from face treatments, so a facial trial deal usually won't cover your back. Two salons here run dedicated back treatments: ESTHECLINIC's Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme from $128, using the same non-invasive, painless approach as its face medi-facials, at all five outlets (Orchard, Holland Village, East Coast, Serangoon Garden, Tanjong Pagar); and Indulgence Beauty's Back Acne Treatment (60 min), a deep-cleanse, exfoliation and targeted acne-product protocol, and it doesn't publish a price online, so ask when you book. ESTHECLINIC is the one with a published starting price, which makes it the easier of the two to budget for.
For facial acne rather than bacne, note that Indulgence Beauty runs two different signature facials at two different trial prices, a distinction that's easy to miss because the names are nearly identical:
| Treatment | First trial | Usual price |
|---|---|---|
| Signature Acne Extraction Facial | $93 | $193 |
| Signature Acne Treatment Facial | $103 | $243 |
Both trial rates are Mon–Fri only, last appointment 4pm. Beyond that, My Cozy Room's Ultimate Anti-Acne LED Facial (120 min) is $194 first trial (U.P. $338), and its Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial is $144 if the issue is congestion and blackheads rather than active breakouts. Book a consultation first if you have inflamed or cystic acne, because extraction on active inflammation can make it worse, and a good therapist will say so.
Yes, and this is exactly what a first-trial deal is. Every offer in this guide is a single, one-off session you pay for on its own, with no obligation to buy anything further. Salons will assess your skin and recommend a package at the end because that's their business model, but declining is normal and you keep the treatment you paid for either way.
If you want to stay package-free long term:
Do check the fine print, though: most trials are new-customers-only, require valid ID or residency documents, set a minimum age (21+ at Shakura and Bio Aesthetic, 16+ at Caring Skin, and 16- to 17-year-olds at Caring Skin must be accompanied by a parent on the first visit and can only book weekday 11am–5pm slots), and some are redeemable only at one specific outlet.
Every price and condition in this guide was re-checked against each salon's own pages on 7 September 2026: My Cozy Room's promotions page, Indulgence Beauty's promotion page and its two sets of terms, Shakura's e-promo page and outlet list, Caring Skin's first-trial product page and ESTHECLINIC's promotions page all read exactly as quoted here. Bio Aesthetic is the one exception, because its site was unreachable on the day. Prices, terms and outlets are set by each salon and change often, so always confirm the current first-trial offer on the salon's official channels before you book.
*Cover image: ESTHECLINIC (official outlet interior), illustrative. "Visit website" links go to each salon's official site for booking, services and locations; details, prices, promotions and outlets are set by each business and can change, so confirm before booking.*
It spans a wide range. First-trial promotions (one-off sessions for new customers) are the cheapest way to try a salon and run from FREE (Shakura's pigmentation trial, worth $300) to around $68–$144 (Bio Aesthetic's hydrafacial from $68, My Cozy Room's 120-min extraction at $144). Regular (non-trial) single facials at established salons typically cost around $120–$470 depending on the treatment, tech used and salon tier. Bio Aesthetic, for example, publishes $198–$468 for the same hydrafacial tiers it trials at $68–$180, which is why most regulars buy multi-session packages that bring the per-session price down. Medi-facials and clinic-grade treatments (LED, peels, hydrafacial machines) sit at the higher end. Always confirm whether a quoted price is a first-trial rate, a single session, or a package.
They're genuinely worth it as a low-risk way to test a salon, a therapist and how your skin reacts before committing to a package. The catch is the upsell: because trial prices are often below cost, salons use the session to assess your skin and pitch a multi-session package at the end, sometimes firmly. You are not obliged to buy: you can enjoy the single session, say you'd like to think about it, and leave. Tips: go in knowing your budget, don't sign a package on the spot, be wary of very aggressive 'today-only' discounts, and check whether the trial has conditions (new customers only, one per person, valid ID, or a like-and-share requirement).
Match the salon to your main concern. For active acne, congested pores and blackheads, an extraction-focused facial suits best. My Cozy Room is known for thorough, gentler extraction, and Indulgence Beauty runs two options: its Signature Acne Extraction Facial ($93 trial) for congestion and its Signature Acne Treatment Facial ($103 trial) for breakouts. For pigmentation, dark spots and melasma, Shakura specialises in brightening pigmentation therapy. For sensitive, dull or dehydrated skin, Caring Skin focuses on soothing, hydrating treatments, while a hydrafacial (Bio Aesthetic) is a gentle, no-downtime deep cleanse. For non-invasive, tech-driven results across skin types, ESTHECLINIC's French medi-facials use LED, peels and AquaPure. If unsure, book a consultation first and tell the therapist your concern and any sensitivities.
Manual extraction (clearing blackheads and clogged pores) can feel uncomfortable (a pricking or squeezing sensation), especially around the nose and chin, but a skilled therapist keeps it tolerable, which is exactly what places like My Cozy Room are known for. Afterwards, skin can look slightly red or have small marks for a few hours up to a day, so many people avoid heavy makeup right after and skip it before a big event. Hydrafacials and non-invasive medi-facials (Bio Aesthetic, ESTHECLINIC) are gentler with little to no downtime and an instant glow, making them a better pick if you need to look good the same evening.
For most skin types, once every 3–4 weeks is the common recommendation, roughly matching the skin's natural renewal cycle, which is why salons sell packages in blocks of sessions. Acne-prone or congested skin may benefit from a slightly more frequent extraction schedule at first, then tapering off, while sensitive skin usually does better with gentler treatments spaced further apart. That said, a good home routine matters more than salon frequency: facials are a boost, not a substitute for daily cleansing, sunscreen and consistent skincare. Ask your therapist for an honest cadence based on your skin, not just the biggest package.
They vary by salon, so read the fine print before booking. Across the offers in this guide the common conditions are: new customers only (Shakura additionally requires that you have never visited any of its outlets), a minimum age (21 and above at Shakura and Bio Aesthetic, 16 and above at Caring Skin), valid ID or Singapore residency documents, and one redemption per person. Some trials add practical limits: Caring Skin's online trial is currently redeemable only at its Heartland Mall outlet (205 Hougang Street 21, #03-10) and must be paid online with 90 days to redeem, while Bio Aesthetic's trial is bookable Monday to Friday 11am–8.30pm and Saturday 10am–6pm (closed Sundays and public holidays) and additionally requires that you have not visited in the past 12 months. If you are 16 or 17, Caring Skin needs a parent with you on the first visit, a valid student pass, and a weekday booking between 11am and 5pm excluding public holidays. Where a trial spans several treatment tiers (Bio Aesthetic's HydraPeel runs $68 to $180), confirm which tier the headline price covers.
The cheapest verified entry point in this guide is Bio Aesthetic's HydraPeel / Hydrafacial first trial, which runs $68 to $180 as a single listing covering six tiers: HydraPeel Express (30 min), Classic (60 min) and Prestige (90 min), plus Hydrafacial MD Signature (30 min), Deluxe (45 min) and Platinum (60 min). The $68 headline is the shortest tier, not the flagship, so pick your tier before booking rather than assuming the advertised price applies to the treatment you want. That band is a new-customer trial rate. Bio Aesthetic publishes the non-trial price for the same treatment as $198 to $468 per session (30 to 90 minutes), so a repeat visit costs roughly 2.6 to 3 times the trial rate. Two cautions: ask for the à-la-carte price of the same tier before you book so you know what visit two costs, and check which machine is actually used, since many salons list hydradermabrasion treatments under similar names. If you want the effect rather than the brand, Caring Skin's CS-Hydra Mesotherapy Facial is $139.52 for 90 minutes (U.P. $346.62).
Back treatments are priced and booked separately from face treatments, so a facial first-trial deal usually will not cover your back, which is the most common surprise at the counter. Among the salons in this guide, ESTHECLINIC runs a dedicated Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme from $128, using the same non-invasive, painless approach as its face medi-facials, and it is available at all five outlets (Orchard, Holland Village, East Coast, Serangoon Garden and Tanjong Pagar). Indulgence Beauty also offers a 60-minute Back Acne Treatment, but does not publish a price online, so ESTHECLINIC is the only one of the six with a published starting price for a back treatment. For facial acne, the trial routes are Indulgence Beauty's Signature Acne Extraction Facial at $93 (U.P. $193) or its Signature Acne Treatment Facial at $103 (U.P. $243), both Mon–Fri only with a 4pm last appointment; My Cozy Room's Ultimate Anti-Acne LED Facial (120 min) at $194 first trial (U.P. $338), or its Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial at $144 if the problem is congestion and blackheads rather than active breakouts. If your acne is inflamed or cystic, book a consultation first, because extraction over active inflammation can worsen it, and a good therapist will tell you so.
Set expectations first: none of the six salons in this guide is a Korean-brand chain: Shakura is Japanese-founded, ESTHECLINIC is French, and My Cozy Room styles itself as a Parisian boutique spa. What you can book here is the Korean glass-skin treatment itself, which is a technique rather than a nationality. The one verified first-trial option among these salons is Bio Aesthetic's BB Glow "Korean Glass Skin" treatment: from $168 for a first trial against a usual session price of $399, running 75 minutes, at its Orchard (Palais Renaissance) and Tampines outlets. It uses MTS nano-microneedling to infuse skin-tone ampoules into the surface layer for a semi-permanent, makeup-like glow, and targets dull skin, uneven tone, mild pigmentation and post-acne marks. If you have active acne or irritated skin, that normally needs to settle first, and a hydrafacial or an extraction facial is the sensible starting point instead. For bacne with a K-beauty angle there is no Korean-brand back-acne trial among these six; the two dedicated back treatments are ESTHECLINIC's Back Acne & Scar Removal Programme from $128 and Indulgence Beauty's 60-minute Back Acne Treatment (price on enquiry).
