In a shocking turn of events for the popular nail care chain, Nail Palace, their managing director Kaiden Cheng has found himself at odds with the law. The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) took the case to court, and on September 10, 2024, a District Court ruled against the nail care businesses for failing to comply with previous orders. What is it that they failed to do? Well, they neglected to publish critical details about court orders and to inform their loyal customers about the unfolding drama. Talk about a bad nail day!

The repercussions of this court ruling were serious. Nail Palace, which has garnered a loyal clientele thanks to its quality services, was slapped with a hefty fine of S$30,000! As if that wasn’t enough, the managing director didn’t just walk away with a fine; he has also been sentenced to four months in jail for contempt of court. It seems that running a successful nail empire isn’t just about having fabulous nail polish colors; compliance with the law is equally essential!

While Kaiden Cheng spends some time behind bars, it leaves fans of the brand wondering what will happen next for Nail Palace. Will they continue to uphold their famed reputation or struggle to recover from this setback? Only time will tell if the chain can keep its customers happy and maintain that perfectly polished image.

It’s easy to forget sometimes that businesses, even the glam ones like nail salons, have to abide by the rules. As we sat down to reflect on the case, we came across some fun facts about the nail industry!
