Looking for a mani-pedi that’s eco-friendly AND cruelty-free? Head down to South Island, where you’ll find new nail bar, Urban Chillez. This Wong Chuk Hang nail salon uses only vegan products that are at least 9-free (free from the nine most harmful chemicals commonly found in beauty products). The space itself is a stunning converted industrial space just steps from the MTR, making it a quick and easy spot to duck into when you’re southside. Like any good salon should do, this place feels like an oasis of calm a world away from the busy streets outside. Guests are welcome to unwind with a glass of wine on the house whilst perfecting their talons with beautiful – and biodegradable – nail art.
