Our story
Quiet luxury, in three Dublin studios
Knails began on Capel Street with a simple idea: technical nail work of a very high standard, delivered in a calm room. Two studios later, that standard is the whole brand.
The approach
Built to last, finished to be noticed
Our technicians specialise in structured manicures — BIAB overlays and refills, Chisel dipping powder, gel and acrylic extensions — alongside classic hand and foot care. The work is deliberate: shape mapped to your hand, an apex that supports the nail, and a finish clean enough to photograph.
Whether you are in for a five-minute repair or a full set with hand-painted detail, the room stays calm and the finish stays consistent across Capel Street, Dame Street and Wicklow Street.
What we stand for
Four things we never compromise on
Precision first
Every set is built on clean prep, correct apex and structure — the reason our BIAB and extensions wear for weeks without lifting.
Hospital-grade hygiene
Single-use files and buffers, fully sterilised metal tools and disinfected stations between every guest, at all three studios.
Considered products
Professional builder gels, dipping systems and cuticle care chosen for nail health as much as finish.
Unhurried service
Appointments are timed generously so nothing is rushed — the finish and the experience both matter.
