"I once had my nails grow out for nearly 4 months and the polish hadn't chipped, just my nails grew out." These girls take their time to make sure your cuticles and nails are perfection. They don't take any short cuts.

"No rushing, no cutting corners." From the moment we stepped in, we were impressed by how spotlessly clean and well-kept the entire location was. Just a lovely, well-run nail salon that clearly takes pride in its service and space.

"I kept asking if I was getting the deluxe treatment because their 'normal' was beyond what I expected." This place should have 5.5 stars! Best mani/pedi experience in a long time.

"I have been getting my nails done for 15 years and this is by far the best place." Every step was done with such detail. Then to finish it off, a hand massage and hot towels to relax the hands at the end.

"The result was even BETTER than the example!" She used tiny tweezers to put the dried flowers and gold foil and it turned out perfect. They are so detail oriented and really put 110% effort into it.

Your Nails, Our Craft

Dy Nail Studio is a female-owned nail salon tucked into the heart of Kensington Market on Augusta Avenue. Known for meticulous work and genuine care, the team treats every client like family, whether you are a first-timer or a regular who has been coming for years.

Precision That Shows

Every service starts with careful preparation: cuticle work, shaping, and cleaning done with patience and precision. The team never rushes, even when you walk in close to closing time. That attention to detail is why clients report shellac lasting weeks and gel pedicures lasting months.

Spotless and Welcoming

Clients consistently praise the bright, modern, and spotlessly clean environment. From the salon floor to the washrooms, everything is maintained to a high standard. Complimentary coffee, tea, and water are offered, and the massage pedicure chairs make every visit feel like a spa day.
