About
What is "Eclipse"
To “eclipse someone” means to become more successful or important than something else; more impressive than a previous record or rival.
Like many nail salon, Eclipse Nails has been started by two immigrants who had dreams of offering locals the chance to experience a mani-pedi without needing to use Google translate or sign language to communicate with someone.
My parents came to Montreal from Vietnam with a lot of hard work behind them and even more ahead.
That’s still the whole philosophy. No shortcuts, no upsells you don’t need, no rushing you out the door. Just genuinely great work, from people who understand exactly what “hard-earned” means.
At Eclipse, we give you a reason to wear your sandals
The hard truth
I was 27 when we opened Éclipse, which remains, to this day, the hardest thing I have ever done. Turns out nobody warns you that “living the dream” mostly looks like spreadsheets, 6am supply runs, and learning to smile through an empty calendar in May. But we knew we were good at nails, and we knew what it felt like to work hard for every dollar — so we built the salon we’d want to walk into ourselves: one where your money and your time are treated with respect.
The leap
Verdun caught our eye the way it catches everyone — that unmistakable local charm that makes outsiders want in. So we did what any reasonable family does : we uprooted our careers and bet everything on nails
From humble beginnings
People ask me all the time: “Stephen, what’s your background? How did you end up here?” Honestly, I’m still not entirely sure myself.
My parents arrived in Canada after the war in Vietnam ended, with almost nothing to their name — no French, no English, just the will to make it work. And that’s exactly what they did, for fifty years straight. No shortcuts, no complaints, just quiet, relentless effort, one day at a time.
I’m the proud product of that. Everything I know about showing up, working hard, and taking care of people, I learned by watching them do it first.
