Owner
Matthew Pham
Hello! I'm Matthew, owner of Casa D'Blanca Nails + Spa. I received my training and certification in 2022 from Johnny Tran of Hard Rock Nails in Toronto.
Though I have a background in Business Administration, becoming a small business owner has given me invaluable insight and experience that can't be taught in a classroom.
It's an honour and privilege to work alongside our exceptionally talented staff, and to build authentic connections with our clients.

Certified Nail Technician + Certified Master Pedicurist
Mona Kim
My name is Mona, and I'm a Certified Nail Technician (2005, 2022, 2023, 2025) and Certified Master Pedicurist (2025).
The cultural exchange of nail care ideas shared among our diverse team is what fuels my passion for all things nails. Intertwining the precision of Russian/Ukrainian manicuring and pedicuring techniques to utilizing premium products from the global leaders in the nail care industry (Japan, Korea, USA, UK, Russia, and Ukraine) is what allows us to create the most beautiful and durable nails for our clients.
My fascination with global nail trends and the cultural fusion of nail care techniques - which is the crux of CDB's carefully curated service and product menu - frequently takes me to various workshops, courses, trade shows, and industry networking events to bring you the latest nail care innovations from around the world.
Fun Fact: Justin Bieber and I share the same birthday!

Karen Morales
Hi, my name is Karen. I'm a Certified Nail Technician and Certified Master Pedicurist from Mexico with 8 years of experience. My journey began in 2006 when I took my first acrylics course with Gabriela Vidana. Since then, I haven't stopped learning and perfecting my craft.
I've also explored other areas of the beauty world, but nails have always been my true love. Why? Because it's more than just aesthetics; it's art, connection, and a way to bring joy to the soul. I especially love nail art because every single design is an exciting challenge. If you see me with nail dust on my clothes and my hands stained with colours, that just means I'm doing what I love. If your nails could talk, make sure they tell an exciting story...and I'll be happy to paint it for you!
Fun Fact: I'm addicted to watching TV series on Netflix...and Apple TV, and Amazon Prime, and pretty much any streaming service!

Since then, I've been constantly improved my skills by attending master classes to study the latest techniques and trends.
The most rewarding aspect of my career has been working on difficult cases: damaged nails from unskilled and careless work done by other salons, nail trauma, and fungal diseases. I learned not only to restore unsightly nails, but people's confidence.
