The hour, minute by minute

This is The Hour on an ordinary Tuesday, as it happens on the bed. Watch the light: it changes because the work does.

A therapist in a white jacket at the head of a treatment bed, laying cotton pads over a guest's eyes in a warm-lit room. The therapist cleansing a guest's cheeks with two damp round sponges. A guest lying under a facial steamer, steam drifting across her face. A therapist looking through a magnifying lamp at a guest's skin. The therapist's hands cradling a guest's jaw and neck during the massage. A white mask being brushed onto a guest's face and neck. A glass teapot steaming by a window.

Open Mon–Fri to 9pmCairnhill Road

  1. Talk at the mirror

    Shoes off, a one-page skin form, then five minutes at the mirror in daylight. What has your skin been doing this week? Anything that stings? New and easily irritated, you get a patch test on the jaw first.

    5 minutes · blinds open, daylight on your face

  2. Cleanse

    An oil cleanse lifts sunscreen and make-up, then a low-foam gel cleanse, taken off with warm, damp sponges. Nothing gritty, nothing that squeaks.

    7 minutes · still daylight

    The therapist cleansing a guest's cheeks with two damp round sponges.

  3. Steam

    A fruit-enzyme exfoliant goes on under a warm steamer to soften what sits in your pores. Skin that flushes easily gets cool towels instead, and no steam at all.

    6 minutes · blinds half down, steam on

    A guest lying under a facial steamer, steam drifting across her face.

  4. Extractions under the lamp

    The magnifying lamp goes on: the brightest ten minutes of the hour. Gentle pressure on blackheads around the nose and chin, never on red or sore spots. If your skin says stop, we stop.

    10 minutes · the lamp on, close and bright

    A therapist looking through a magnifying lamp at a guest's skin.

  5. Massage, lights low

    Lamp off, blinds down, one lamp low in the corner. Seventeen minutes of slow strokes over face, neck and shoulders with camellia oil. Most people stop talking here. That is the idea.

    17 minutes · lights low and warm

    The therapist's hands cradling a guest's jaw and neck during the massage.

  6. Mask, lights off

    A mask chosen on the day: oat for skin that is upset, clay for an oily T-zone, a cool jelly for air-con skin. While it sets, the lights go off and your hands and scalp get ten quiet minutes.

    10 minutes · lights off

    A white mask being brushed onto a guest's face and neck.

  7. Lights up, tea

    Serum, moisturiser and SPF, pressed in by hand. The lights come up slowly and you sit up slowly. Hojicha in the front room, and a handwritten skin note: what we used, and what to do at home.

    5 minutes · daylight again, take your time

    A glass teapot steaming by a window.

Your hour, on one slip

No two hours are cut the same. Tell us how your skin has been this week and see where the sixty minutes go.

This week my skin is
Tight from air-con
Shorter steam, fewer extractions, a cool jelly mask for 13 minutes and a longer massage.
Shiny by 3pm
Longer steam and four more minutes under the lamp; clay on the T-zone and a shorter massage.
Quick to go red
A patch test first, no steam, three minutes of extractions at most; an oat mask and a light-pressure massage.
Tired, slept badly
Fewer extractions and a longer massage, with scalp and neck.

A note from Joanne

I spent fourteen years doing facials in hotel spas. The best part was always the same: the minute a guest stopped talking during the massage. The worst part was the counter afterwards, where she was sold ten more.

Still Hour is the first part without the second. One room per guest, one therapist from the first minute to the tea, and a price list short enough to remember.

In 2025 Singapore’s consumer association took 2,113 complaints about beauty businesses, and most of the money people lost was in prepaid packages. We do not sell any. You pay for the hour after you have had it.

If your skin needs a doctor, I will tell you at the mirror, before you have paid for anything. Then come back for the hour that is just for you. Thursdays at seven, the blinds are already down.

From the guest book

“A week of office air-con, and I slept through the mask. Nobody tried to sell me anything at the end.”

“She skipped the steam because my skin goes red, and told me why before I asked.”

Questions

Is a facial at Still Hour all right for sensitive skin?

Yes, and we plan for it. Tell us what has stung or flared before, and we patch-test on the jaw first. Skin that flushes easily gets no steam and no exfoliant, three minutes of extractions at most, a calming oat mask and a light-pressure massage. Very reactive? Book the free patch test first.

Do you do medical or machine treatments?

No. Still Hour is a non-medical beauty studio. We do not offer lasers, peels, needles, injectables or LED devices, and a facial here does not treat acne, eczema, rosacea or pigmentation. If a spot is painful, deep or spreading, or a mole has changed, please see a doctor first; we will happily work around their advice.

How much does a facial cost?

The Hour, our 60-minute facial, is S$168. More lamp time (75 minutes) is S$198, the Long Hour (90 minutes) S$238 and the Half Hour (30 minutes) S$98. The skin chat and patch test is free. Every price includes 9% GST, and you pay after your facial, by card or PayNow.

Will I be asked to buy a package?

No. We sell no packages, take no deposits and keep nothing prepaid, so there is nothing to lose if your plans change. Therapists earn no commission on products. You pay for the hour you had, after you have had it, and you leave with a written note of what we used.

Do extractions hurt, and will I be red afterwards?

They feel like firm pressure, and we stop whenever you ask. Some pinkness around the nose and chin is normal and usually settles within a few hours. We never press on red or sore spots. Before a wedding or a photoshoot, book your facial at least two days ahead, or ask us to skip extractions.

Where is the studio, and is there parking?

We are on Cairnhill Road, a six-minute walk from Newton MRT and about ten minutes from Orchard Road. The building has hourly basement parking and a covered drop-off at the entrance. We are open until 9pm on weekdays, with the last facial starting at 7:45pm, so an hour after work is easy.
