Remember when home-based nail salons were all over TikTok? I would stumble upon new home salons on my For You page, only to see that they were on the other side of Singapore. When there was finally a salon nearby, my ideal slots were already taken.
It felt like a stroke of luck when I found an app that gathered all the home-based salons near me. Through the Sody app, I finally had a chance to glam up my nails for special occasions, and here’s how you can too.
Download the Sody app through the App Store or Google Play—the app’s icon looks like a black and white bubble. Once downloaded, create an account and turn on the app notifications to receive the latest promotions (this is extremely helpful if you change your nail sets often).

Find a nearby salon
On the app, there are various features such as finding a nearby salon, filtering different aesthetic treatments, browsing inspiration, and exploring catalogues.
While there is no particular order to explore these functions, the typical first step would be to find your nearest salon. You can filter your ideal location by general regions or by finding the nearest MRT.
Once you’ve chosen a convenient salon, tap on its details to know its address and nail pricing.
Browse salon catalogues
If you’re particular about finding a nail tech that specialises in your preferred designs, the Sody app also carries a catalogue feature. Similar to Pinterest, you can use keywords to find nail inspiration and salons simultaneously.
One aspect of the Sody app I love is the number of filters available. From square or rounded nails, gel or classic, to whether you require prior polish removal, this function helps me make sure I know what design and price to expect.
If you’re quite new to nail designs, the app’s default page showcases all types of designs. Like Pinterest, once you’ve found an inspiration set, the app will suggest more similar collections.
Once you’ve looked through enough design options, you can choose the salon you believe will best suit your design needs.
Read the reviews
Choosing a salon doesn’t just end there. You can look through your selected salon’s past reviews from returning and new customers to get a sense of their service.
Additionally, their design catalogue is included in their salon description, allowing you to have more confidence in their skills and service.
Once you’re sure of your chosen salon, book your appointment through the app and look forward to your self-care day.
For Nail Salon Owners
For prospective home-based salons, you can sign up as a Sody Partner and anticipate new customers and designs.
Preparing for a special event soon? All you need is to pick a design you love, book a session, and enjoy a smooth and fuss-free self-care experience with Sody.
