Guidelines on ear cleaning, candling etc

[horneemeeh]

Hi bros,

Wanna check are there like fixed guidelines with regards to timing for services mentioned as per title? Some places I've been to states example ear cleaning 30 mins. But went to a certain spa at a certain serangoon rd without the se today and on the price list no timing was stated. I did ask how long cos its 38 and receptionist talk legit a bit fucking xia lan. She said 30mins,so I took. Anyways the ml came and did some cleaning and in less than 10mins she said OK done. I was like wtf? Then went out to clarify and this time receptionist said its 38 and its done when it's done. Smlj?

You only wanted ear cleaning? You heard of the saying,"Hang goat head, sell dog meat"? (挂羊头，卖狗肉)

You can get free ear cuddling in the whole package of massage, why you pay extra for shorter time?

The real 采耳 ear cleaning involves quite a number of tools, including some kinky stuff like peacock feather... haha. Anyway it is a traditional skill and in PRC, roadside open-air service for that is very cheap only. Supposed to be very ASMR and relaxing though I've never tried the full routine - which is ultimately to remove ear wax.

Coincidentally one ML that I patronize recently talked about having learned the skill while stuck in PRC over the long pandemic period of last year. She gave me a preview of the ear massaging part only, lol. Quite relaxing, true.

I think there is a difference between ear digging and ear candling.

Ear digging is common. Ear candling is the real deal.

I visited a ML who give ear digging FOC and hers is a device which is a digger plus a light. Her massage is strong, juagen decent..and then dig the ear..and finish off with a HJ..feels very GFE and I like it.

There was once after she dig my ear, she give me a HJ, and whisper into my ear during the HJ: can you hear me better? and she give me deep breathing. hahaha..

[ForSomeFun]

Tried the real deal in a fairly reputable place in China. Their modus operandi are like the therapists have a number to go by and both genders. No hk ok but damn their massage skills and ear digging were really good! I didn’t even feel tickled and ears were cleaned comfortably. No ending that we usually desire though.

I think most of us are wondering... is the not so new cheongsam place legit in doing the ear cleaning and give good service thereafter?

[soundworks]

Few weeks ago i went to one legit spa, the therapist got do ear digging and cleaning. Massage was excellent good. Very relaxing . After the massage,she performed the ear cleaning for me, quite ticklish when she initially did it on my ear. After few min, the feel is good. very relaxing. Total spend 90 dollar for an hour massage n 30 min ear digging n cleansng service. Will go back whenever i need a good relaxing session.

Ear candling is just less than 10 mins. MOst gals just leave you alone there since you just want ear candling service.

Those that offers part of 90mins package will give more TLC, like sitting beside you, stroking your head and massaging the back of your ear, etc, blowing at your ear gently on pretext of getting rid of ashes which might have drifted near ear.

Wah, looks like Vietnam bro, like very shiok leh. If local joint must share sia!

[Driftwood]

I have one ear candling session with a prc turn local ML who operates in a condo a few years back.

It is part of the massage package. Because there is the happy ending and I have choose ear candling as she provides it, we spend 20min on both ears.

Basically I remember lying on my side, and she put a candle on the ear and while the candle burn, she massage the area around the ear. Does it for both ears.

Never try it after that as I feel the same before/after :o

Don't mind can share this too? Keen to try a proper place for my ears haha

[Newluck]

I have tried the ear candling at PPC (complex) but not impressed because the candle used is small and the flame is not hot enough.
My previous ml a TCM trained who has since RTC had done a much better job for me.
The candle used is much better and the flame is hot enough and can detect that I am having some problem with one of my vein. The next day after treatment I experienced the vein pulling sensation and was cured after that.
Just to share my experience and any bros who has same experience let me know.

I recently tried ear cleaning and ear washing at a place where young girls stand on the streets and ask you if you wish to do facial. Entrance to the level 2 shop is just besides crowded foot eateries.

Ear cleaning was $38. Clean until no more ear wax and service ends. I also tried ear washing at $50. Not sure what it was so I tried. The prc lady first used a small cctv to show me the insides of my ear. Then she used a tuning fork and some feathers to loosen the ear wax. The digging begins. Uneventful.

The ear washing is like pouring some warm water into the ears and using some brush to scrape the sides of the ear canal. Quite relaxing

After that, she use the cctv to show me the insides of the ears again. Not clean she will clean up again. The service ended when my ears are clean. About 40 minutes for $88. No other services... not that I want also. The PRC lady is probably late 40s to 50s.

This shop attracts older men. An uncle was chatting loudly in the other cubicle. Before he left, he told everyone he is 72 years old.

[roflolmao]

I recently bought a eat digging tool with camera and light attached to it and realise my ear wax belongs to the category of dry ones and the side of the ears really have wax here and there. Anyone got good lobang for ear cleaning? Pls pm me, thank you!

[Riverwalk]

There is a shop in Upp Weld Rd .. Saw their posters in the glass panel while passing . Seems like Ear waxing etc etc ..
.Any bro tried ?

[afterburn]

I have 1 in the west whereby after digging, she will use a tuning fork and do a soft vibration check on both ears followed by a peacock feather to brush the ears for sensitivity. Very shiok!

I think i know this one..... because have seen her advertise the same service on her wechat moments, with the tuning fork and kinky feather thing :D Is at the single letter spa? Her massage is pretty good but too milfy even for me.

[marcus77]

If take out pant no more dig ear..maybe you will dig something else

[euks]

If you want to experience real traditional chinese 采耳, you can try EarHaven (https://www.facebook.com/EarHaven) at Far East Plaza.
She only do traditional chinese ear cleaning, which isn't what most singaporean understand unless you experience it in china before.

And yes, her skills are up there for me to experience ear "orgasm" but its so hard to get an appointment with her sometime.

I got blacklisted after being late for two times .... that bitch..

Don't misunderstand this as Ear digging or candling. It is much more than that

Is she still in Campbell lane?

[ZenneZ]

Oh yeah, she is the real deal if you are looking for real 采耳 .Very pretty girl next door look but with an icy queen aura. And yeah, she hates people who are late.
And 采耳 is nothing like ear digging or ear candling that your experience in all those random shop hor.
It requires very precise skills and tools to be "tickling" and "massaging" at very specific point in your ears so not too sure if you should had mention her in this thread

[serav1]

I've actually tried multiple therapist for ear cleaning as I'm a sucker for the service so my personal view of the ones I tried are as so:

1) For the most painless experience I personally had it was with Cai Hong (https://www.carousell.sg/p/ear-cleaning-services-1127288284/?t-id=5808395_1638335448055&t-referrer_browse_type=search_results&t-referrer_request_id=SIJR15-1i-ifsRty&t-referrer_search_query=ear%20cleaning&t-referrer_sort_by=popular&t-tap_index=1), previously located at Kallang, and have recently moved to Upper Cross Street. The link is to her Carousell advert. Liked that she used a specialized tool that covers your ear when doing ear cleaning, so there's virtually no pain. She does the peacock feather and tuning fork thing also, but it's just minimal. Didn't like that although she had different price points but I always got charged at the highest one ($68) as she insisted there was blockage even though I went twice a month.

2) Second most comfortable was probably Ear Haven as mentioned by bros before. Minimal pain, but the interaction with the therapist left much to be desired. Went to visit her twice, but concluded she wasn't really suited for me.

3) For the more satisfying but occasionally painful one I would say would be Paradise of Relaxation. I particularly like that they use something to scrape the outer ear and entrance of your ear canal, the feeling is quite shiok. But big problem with the place is skill level different for the different therapist, and for the boss Yen(who's skills i prefer) you need to top up. I also don't like that they insist on a booking system but don't follow the time, and basically have crappy customer service. Some therapist also shortchange on the time taken for services listed, such as for head massage or facial massage add ons. Overall the place used to be good but i feel their service level dropped significantly in the past year.

4) I've also tried multiple ladies at Mei Tai Wan and My Salon for ear cleaning, and in summary i guess the level of skill differs greatly from person to person. Overall the technique used is more utility, meaning they focus on cleaning up earwax using the tools, and overall slightly higher chance of discomfort due to the tools and skill level. Plus side is that the hair wash spa session in general is very relaxing.

5) Last one I wanted to share is about L&D Spa, which is another Vietnamese hair salon like Paradise of Relaxation. My experience there was really really bad. My one and only visit there the entire ear cleaning session was painful, until i told the person to stop as it was too painful (they insisted they were very gentle and that it'll be over soon). End result was me having ear inflammation and had dead skin peeling out from my ear canal for a good 1-2 months resulting in a trip to the doctors. Personal opinion is to avoid this place for ear cleaning, unless I was just unlucky during my session.

[PervMonk]

Agree with Serav on Rainbow's skill, also went to a few as my wax are dry and I dig myself until quite deep and got inflamed severAl times. Tried a few shops but only 3 I really like and Rainbow is at the top though I was also charged the 68 package but mine really quite bad. Also most places they will give you a very small screen to look at while hers is a tablet size, which I say is better as more clear

[Cupping888]

For my case, not sure whats the reason but the wax grows back into my ears very fast. I did ask a doctor and he says my skin is just sensitive. I have dandruff and according to him, my inner skin also will grow a little.

I can go for the atas ear candling or what not, but it still grows back quickly. So for me, the best is still ear digging.

Strong massage + ear digging + back cracking + neck cracking + juagen + teasing --> my usual ML does this..good enough for me. Hahaha

Tried all you listed except for number 4.

Generally agree with all you mentioned, though for (1), I insisted on getting the cheapest one (she told me actually there's not much difference, only thing is the peacock hair thingy etc which the first time I tried with her, it was also just a while which I think not worth it).

No 2 was ya, the whole experience was severely leaking.

No 3 was ok as I went before they become more popular... Yen was pretty and I managed to get her to do, but after they expanded, I went once and stopped going back.

No 5 went a few times, from when they were in TPY to their new place. Stopped going back after a while as it's quite far for me and I also got someone who wasn't that good the last 2 times I went. But in the head/neck/arm massage before ending the session, that lady will let you rest your head on her boobs as you sit up and lean back. But not a looker and if I'm going for that, I will find other places.

Hi bro. Think this package is for inflammation. Next time can ask to check using her tablet. See if really inflamed.

For me I can’t tell the difference. Hahaha. Just accepted what she say. 😝

I went to this place. This place charge 38 for ear cleaning. And another ear washing at 50. Ear washing only 10 mins. Not worth it.

Usually the ear washing includes ear cleaning. But this place put it as a separate charge. Got cheaper alternatives.

Another place charge ear washing with ear cleaning at 58$ This is the 1st one recommended by bro Serav.

That's why we come to sbf. It's ok to get chopped once. But we then share the info here and exchange opinions to get a better deal/experience in future. You tried the shop I went to also. :p I wonder any old men ever fall down the stairs as they leave. Those stairs are quite steep. Wah, will end up attracting the attention f the people at the eatery below. Crash Landing On You. :D

Ya, other places more worth it. Thanks. I will find time to try the 1st place recommended by Bro Serav. Upped your points

Bro from what I know it seems that ear candling is actually not effective for any ear related ailments, and in fact may also contribute to potential ear infections if the wax/ash from the burning candle falls into your ear. It seems that the things they show you when they cut out the candle is actually just debris from when the candle is burning and is not from within your body. No doubt the lymph node and neck and shoulder massage is nice, but the actual ear candling isn't. I believe youtube has quite a few videos where they do experiments on the effectiveness if you want to take a look at it to make your own judgement on this :)

[soundworks]

Don't mind can share this too? Keen to try a proper place for my ears haha

Pm you, enjoy the session cheer.

[Kopiosteve]

Thought I'd share my go-to ear digging/cleaning practitioner.

I first started going to places like POR for their $38 ear digging. But after 2 sessions, and after the gimmick of having cute viets fiddling the inside my ears worn off, I didn't feel the value anymore. Apart from a decent environment, there was nothing out of the ordinary to warrant that kind of price.

I really just wanted my ears clean good.

So I decided to venture to those $15 ear digging services in hair salons peppered around Geylang. Again nothing special, nothing different from POR, but at least it's more reasonably priced.

Then I discovered Mary Hair Salon along Geylang Road next to Eminent Frog Porridge lor 17. The Viet girl who did me is called Ah Shoon (sounds like this lol). She uses 4 or 5 tools - scraps the outer and inner ear, then pulls all the gunk, then some deep twirling, then puts some cool cleaning gel and more deep twirling, then some ASMR thingie... This lasted about 30 odd minutes and somehow her technique felt much more thorough and so much more comfortable. My ears felt more deeply cleaned compared to the rest. A compliment shoulder massage after that too. OK no peacock feathers hahaha.

I've been going for this ear job once every 2 weeks for the last 3 months. And yep, just $15. But since I really like what she does, I'd tip her $5. Lol.

Guys, you don't want some medically untrained folks to be fooling with your ears. Especially putting instruments deep into your ear canals or using any "candling' trick. If you feel like your ears are clogged, go see a GP. They will use a proper scope to inspect your ear canal and determine the root cause.

If it's the case of a lot of wax build-up, they will do a peroxide wash of the ear canal to dissolve the wax build-up and clear it up. If it isn't too bad, they may recommend you buy one of those ear drops that are mineral oil based. These help soften the wax and it will naturally clear your from your ear.

If you have ear pain and redness/itchiness it may be as a result of inflammation from a potential ear/sinus infection. Go see a GP/ENT specialist and get it treated quickly.

The danger is that the ear canal is connected to the brain and you don't want to be introducing germs in there which can lead to serious complications like meningitis or encephalitis. So, please take care.

Thought I'd share my go-to ear digging/cleaning practitioner.

Then I discovered Mary Hair Salon along Geylang Road next to Eminent Frog Porridge lor 17. The Viet girl who did me is called Ah Shoon (sounds like this lol). She uses 4 or 5 tools - scraps the outer and inner ear, then pulls all the gunk, then some deep twirling, then puts some cool cleaning gel and more deep twirling, then some ASMR thingie... This lasted about 30 odd minutes and somehow her technique felt much more thorough and so much more comfortable. My ears felt more deeply cleaned compared to the rest.

thanks for the intro bro. sounds like what i would be looking for. will follow your market rate for tips.

I totally agree with this bro’s view. For someone who know many doctors personally, I am skeptical about ear digging. 2 weeks ago, my ear was totally blocked and super uncomfortable. Hearing is muffled etc…and it was a chore for my conference call.

Went over to a clinic recommended by a friend and got my ear wax sucked out through a vacuum device. The whole process took 2 mins but I left $80+ poorer. Asked doctor why there is so much ear wax and whether there is any infection. He said no and just keep ear canal dry and ear wax will drop off by itself.

Yesterday went to ear haven as recommended by one bro here. Just wanted to see what is this ear digging thing. I lie down for 30 mins and the lady skillfully dug out all the blockages without pain. I was totally impressed. Paid $49 and left.

Totally changed my perspective of ear digging. Well, if I have left the wax there, my ear would have blocked and then I have to get medical help again. Eye opener for me

My best ear cleaning.....

Ear candling is just less than 10 mins. MOst gals just leave you alone there since you just want ear candling service.

Those that offers part of 90mins package will give more TLC, like sitting beside you, stroking your head and massaging the back of your ear, etc, blowing at your ear gently on pretext of getting rid of ashes which might have drifted near ear.

Hi bro,

Can share the shop location pls.

Thank you.

If you like this kind of tuanehbu with huge spotlight one can go Mei Taiwan Tywritt and look for Grace. Her E cups knockers sometimes big till 1/4 ball expose. Wash hair and dig ear can see till your eyes pop out of your eyes socket. Please don’t ask her to cut hair. Her cut hair skill is damn good but once you choose cut hair, she will put on apron then you Hong Gan see shit…I share first else bro will be disappointed

[liketosleep]

If got tinnitus, would ear digging help? Last time my parents time, go barber shop hair cut, ear digging was part of package unless you rejected. Heard from radio talk show that nothing intrusive needs to be done to prevent infection. Cheers.

Thanks

Tried a ML previously and she offered 采耳 as part of the package. Extremely satisfied with her services. Too bad, not sure if she is still here or gone back already. It's hard to find good 采耳 services locally.

In PRC, 采耳 is so good, common and cheap!!!

[Nostringonenite]

Tried an ear wax removal with this L&D at Jalan besar.

Viet style, not too bad.
Massage available also, but ok ok.

No happy ending on first try, if I go back again soon, I’ll give another update. Or bro here can also give it a go.

Ear wax removal $30, body massage $70.

Note. That WeChat belongs to the boss.

The lady doing ear cleaning is Cxxo.
Overall service was good, it was good for me as I haven’t do this for a long time. Overall effect is also good, can hear better after the clean, might be placebo effect but I am happy.
Cleaning was done on facial kind of bed, kind of clinical, those I do last time, I get get to lie on the ML thigh hahah.
All the ladies wear skirts, but not sure if there is any special as they are quite cautious, at least for the lady that do ear cleaning, she say she don’t do massage.

Price is $38.

This place no special. All clean. But the lady boss got attitude. You ask abit more questions and she will show attitude.

And don’t do the ear washing. That’s carrot chop. It’s on top of your ear digging price. Not worth it.

Cheers

[Ironpole]

Nope. Other place is ear wash with ear dig for that price. This place carrot chop you.

I've actually tried multiple therapist for ear cleaning as I'm a sucker for the service so my personal view of the ones I tried are as so:

1) For the most painless experience I personally had it was with Cai Hong (https://www.carousell.sg/p/ear-cleaning-services-1127288284/?t-id=5808395_1638335448055&t-referrer_browse_type=search_results&t-referrer_request_id=SIJR15-1i-ifsRty&t-referrer_search_query=ear%20cleaning&t-referrer_sort_by=popular&t-tap_index=1), previously located at Kallang, and have recently moved to Upper Cross Street. The link is to her Carousell advert. Liked that she used a specialized tool that covers your ear when doing ear cleaning, so there's virtually no pain. She does the peacock feather and tuning fork thing also, but it's just minimal. Didn't like that although she had different price points but I always got charged at the highest one ($68) as she insisted there was blockage even though I went twice a month.

2) Second most comfortable was probably Ear Haven as mentioned by bros before. Minimal pain, but the interaction with the therapist left much to be desired. Went to visit her twice, but concluded she wasn't really suited for me.

3) For the more satisfying but occasionally painful one I would say would be Paradise of Relaxation. I particularly like that they use something to scrape the outer ear and entrance of your ear canal, the feeling is quite shiok. But big problem with the place is skill level different for the different therapist, and for the boss Yen(who's skills i prefer) you need to top up. I also don't like that they insist on a booking system but don't follow the time, and basically have crappy customer service. Some therapist also shortchange on the time taken for services listed, such as for head massage or facial massage add ons. Overall the place used to be good but i feel their service level dropped significantly in the past year.

4) I've also tried multiple ladies at Mei Tai Wan and My Salon for ear cleaning, and in summary i guess the level of skill differs greatly from person to person. Overall the technique used is more utility, meaning they focus on cleaning up earwax using the tools, and overall slightly higher chance of discomfort due to the tools and skill level. Plus side is that the hair wash spa session in general is very relaxing.

5) Last one I wanted to share is about L&D Spa, which is another Vietnamese hair salon like Paradise of Relaxation. My experience there was really really bad. My one and only visit there the entire ear cleaning session was painful, until i told the person to stop as it was too painful (they insisted they were very gentle and that it'll be over soon). End result was me having ear inflammation and had dead skin peeling out from my ear canal for a good 1-2 months resulting in a trip to the doctors. Personal opinion is to avoid this place for ear cleaning, unless I was just unlucky during my session.

thanks bro, learn lot :D

Will try the 1st 2, my ear itchy quite often :p

[Apollo]

I really just wanted my ears clean good.

So I decided to venture to those $15 ear digging services in hair salons peppered around Geylang. Again nothing special, nothing different from POR, but at least it's more reasonably priced.

Then I discovered Mary Hair Salon along Geylang Road next to Eminent Frog Porridge lor 17. The Viet girl who did me is called Ah Shoon (sounds like this lol). She uses 4 or 5 tools - scraps the outer and inner ear, then pulls all the gunk, then some deep twirling, then puts some cool cleaning gel and more deep twirling, then some ASMR thingie... This lasted about 30 odd minutes and somehow her technique felt much more thorough and so much more comfortable. My ears felt more deeply cleaned compared to the rest. A compliment shoulder massage after that too. OK no peacock feathers hahaha.

I've been going for this ear job once every 2 weeks for the last 3 months. And yep, just $15. But since I really like what she does, I'd tip her $5. Lol.

bro thanks for sharing :D

Coco is solid. Hers is more treatment than anything. She had this thing where they can insert into your ear and you can see the video from a monitor. My red is quite red on the inside. She cleared some dirt out and then apply medication for me

Any updated recommendations on Ear Cleaning places to go in 2023?

Used to head to MTW for hair wash + ear cleaning, but with schedule now, can't make it out there for that hair wash anyway. TIA.
