  • I found Amanda purely by accident when I was looking for an open appointment in a cute salon when I was badly in need of some pampering. And now that I've found her, I'm never going to anyone else! Not only do my gel manis last 3+ weeks without. a. single. chip (NOT an exaggeration), she's wonderful company and I genuinely enjoy spending my "pamper time" with her! She's gentle but effective on my cuticles, I've never even had so much as a tiny air bubble in my manis, and she's always open to exploring new colors and/or designs or just going back to the basics. This is NOT a paid review or anything, I'm just genuinely happy to recommend Amanda!

  • I met Amanda by pure serendipity because who I wanted in the salon was booked. I have never had anyone else do my nails since that meeting. I would come in with just a vague idea and she would be able to choose a color and even some art that was tailored perfectly to me and that idea. I went on with a dress I was wearing to a wedding and she copied that design perfectly. Not only is she an amazing nail technician/artist, she was the best human to talk with. I look forward to my appointments, to updating her about my life, hearing about hers. She gets my sarcasm and has such a sincere, delightful, and personable nature.

  • I became a client of Amanda’s by chance almost three years ago and have traveled from Athens to see her at least once a month ever since. When I came to her, my nails were badly damaged after years of abuse (acrylics that I’d peel off through high school, gel manis roughly removed and then SNS trauma). I never thought I could have long, natural nails, and now people frequently ask me if my nails are SNS or acrylic. I am not a big nail art person, but sometimes I get a wild hair, and Amanda always crushes it and has great creative ideas. In addition to totally rehabbing my nails, I am also very thankful to have Amanda in my life as a friend. She is so genuine, down-to-Earth, and easy to connect with. Amanda is the best!!!

  • Amanda takes great care of my nails and has become a friend to me over the last 2 years! She understands that my thin nails need gentle love and is never rough when removing gel. She is also extremely creative, if nail art is your thing on the regular or just for a special occasion - she’s got you! Highly recommend!

  • Amanda is simply the best! Her technique is flawless and she always comes up with amazing ideas for nail art! Best pedicures I’ve ever had! Super excited about this new venture!

  • I’ve been seeing Amanda for almost a year now and every single time I have the best experience. She is able to take my ideas and turn them into gold! She is a perfectionist and the quality is unmatched! My manicures can last 4 weeks with no chips. My nails have never been healthier and you can’t go wrong with Amanda.

  • Amanda is hands down (ha!) the BEST nail artist I've ever met! She is knowledgeable and highly skilled. Her method is meticulous while also efficient. I travel two hours round trip to see her and it's #wortheverymile!

  • THIS IS MY GIRL!!! Professional and artistic. She makes you feel like family. She’s someone you can kiki with or just sleep in a chair while she massages your feet. I love this girl and will never go anywhere else!!!

  • Even though I've been seeing Amanda for years for my nails I am still so grateful I found her. She is so precise and extremely consistent in her work. Every appointment is such a great experience with the way she deeply cares for her clients.
