The Story of Ongles d'Or

Starting out in the basement of his family home in the fall of 2003, Marco Houde, a seasoned businessman from the south shore of Quebec, embarked on a great adventure in the field of nail application. A complete novice, he decided to leverage his 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur to take on the challenge. He studied the market, the products, and the needs of professionals, and conducted research on new resins, particularly in the medical field. He created his own laboratory to test resins, prosthetics, and techniques. He even performed nail applications himself simply to better understand the challenges faced by technicians.

More motivated than ever to stand out, he also innovated in product presentation, such as opaque, understated, elegant, and practical bottles. A point of honor is also placed on quality control for the products. Nothing is left to chance. Ongles d’or was born! 

Little by little, the company is becoming known and making progress. The offices are expanding, the inventory is growing, new products are appearing, and a space is being set up to provide training. Here again, the quality of the training is part of the company’s mission. 

In 2008, motivated by the progress made and a constant increase in clientele, Ongles d’Or created a new line of products, Perfection UV gels, and innovated with, among others, the self-leveling gel. 

In 2009, the premises expanded once again. Large classrooms, more spacious offices, a boutique filled with options, a laboratory and a more efficient shipping center, and much more!
