Great gel mani and pedi (85 euro) done by the woman with fiery red hair. Cute, clean salon, and most of the staff spoke English which was wonderful being an American expat. Would definitely come back. read more

This is the first review I've written in years- but my experience was so bizarre and uncomfortable I felt it warranted a review. I was in dire need of a mani/pedi after a week of yachting in Croatia. To my delight, I was able to book an appointment online with only 90 minutes notice! I arrived one minute early, and ended up waiting only a couple of minutes and was greeted by a friendly face. They offered me a refreshment and I accepted a green tea they gave me on a nice little plate. A friendly black woman with long red braids gave me a pedicure. She did a really good job getting all the dry skin and calluses off my feet - if I was reviewing solely on this she would have received 5 stars. She did an average job with the rest of the pedicure with the exception of burning me very badly on the right side of my foot with the machine polisher thingy. She apologized and we continued. It wasn't a huge deal, and these things happen, so I wasn't terribly upset by it. Overall, for just the pedicure, I would have returned if not for the bizarre behavior of the Bulgarian (owner??). Now on to my manicure. It was one of the most bizarre, uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. I was given to another woman who asserted she had just returned from Bulgaria the day before. Her behavior can best be described as slightly veiled hostility. It was VERY clear she didn't want to be there and didn't care how I wanted my nails. She asked me if I wanted my nails short, and I said yes. When she asked me if they were short enough and I said I preferred them shorter, she told me that wouldn't be good. She eventually filed them slightly shorter, asked me again if they were short enough, and I responded I'd prefer them shorter but whatever. She didn't go shorter. To be honest, I just wanted my nails low enough to get rid of the white stuff at the top of my nails (pictures to follow). Anyways, she continued with my manicure and informed me not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR TO FIVE times that the way I liked my nail was not good and "she didn't like it." I didn't realize I was paying over 60 euros for someone to insult the way I like my nails. She wasn't really saying it under her breathe, but I feel like maybe she thought that she was. It was truly irreproachable. I like my nails rounded, not straight up like a french manicure (I'm a straight male). Halfway through, she asked me if I liked my nails, and I responded no. She was aghast. I explained I wanted them rounded, and she again told me she didn't like them that way. I politely informed her that this is the way I like it, and I understand that she doesn't like them that way. I then informed her it was "unnecessary" to tell me so many times that she doesn't like my nails. Her hostility was oozing from her body language and words. The final thing she did was inquire if I wanted my nails shiny and I politely declined, adding that I thought they would look a bit feminine. For some reason, this offended her and she again was aghast. Overall, it was a painful experience from the most expensive mani/pedi I've ever received (I've had around 100 mani/pedi's). The hostility of this woman was pervasive and uncomfortable and I got the vibe the other women working there walked on eggshells around her. One last note, she made me bleed in 3 different spots on my nails and blamed my "dry skin" (I have oily skin, always have), and every time I started bleeding she'd get a huff and become angry. read more

See all

I had a really good Shellac pedicure here - booked on TreatWell for 45 euros. I didn't see them clean tools but I also didn't see them reuse tools from a previous person, so I can't really comment on hygiene. But in terms of the pedicure it was good! They're open on Mondays (needs to be said, this is Amsterdam!). Make an appointment - while I was sitting there they turned away two or three people because they were fully booked the rest of the day and the next day as well. read more

I had a booking today for pedicure. They asked me to come earlier, by half hour. I changed my work meetings to fit that and in fact when i arrived the manicure was busy with another client. Which she kept working on for next half hour (!!!) completely disrespectful towards me and my time. read more

Straight up: best pedicure I have gotten in Amsterdam. I went to Meghan for the first time last weekend with ma bestie. My friend made the pedicure reservation for both of us. Immediately, I need to mention 2 plus points. First, the place is open until late, i.e. 8pm, which is also amazing for working people who want to get their mani or pedi after work. Second, I love the fact that you can get the pedi at the same time as your friend. Usually, even if you manage to book for the same time, you sit apart from each other so you can't really talk. I am really into the set-up here; you sit together on a bench next to each other. Also, we were offered a beverage. Also, there is plenty of reading if you are alone. The ambience is still a bit of a work in progress, but I am looking forward to see how they develop it more. There is also a garden, so that will be really nice in the summer. Maybe a pedi and a cocktail under the sun? Hahah, sorry, I got carried away. Final point - the ladies are not afraid to tell you suggestions regarding your feet. I don't know how to put it, but most of the times people are maybe being too polite, and do not tell you what they should, or maybe they don't know. They do their job very well here, you can see that their training is very good; as a good pedicurist should be. Overall: The service is great, and I really like that you are not in a dimmed dodgy place. The hygiene is good, my feet look amazing, and I am most definitely coming back. read more

Beauty my Meghan specialises in nails - manicures and pedicures and also waxing. There are not many places that do eyelash tinting and perming in Amsterdam. This place will be offering it very soon Maya informed me. Maya is the best waxist I've meet in Amsterdam - her attention to detail is flawless. Maya is very nice, friendly and professional. I have tried Delete and the Wax Bar and been frustrated to the systematic approach we do it this way rather than ensuring absolutely perfectly smooth legs. After meeting Maya, I will not go anywhere else. The ambience is not as glossy as the other two places I mentioned and the wax Maya uses might not be the best for the most sensitive of skin - mine is quite sensitive and I was fine but it wasn't tea tree for example - but for quality of finish, service and price, you cannot beat Maya @ Beauty by Meghan. read more

Had a great shellac manicure at this location. I booked a day in advance on treatwell together with my friend, who booked at a different time, but the staff was very friendly and offered to push forward my friend's appointment so that we could get our nails done together. We were offered something to drink prior to us getting our nails done and our coats were also taken care of. The salon has a great environment although the smell of chemicals is very present (however completely normal and hard to avoid in nail salons) and they played cool and hip music. Will come back. read more

Beauty by Meghan - Basic Shellac manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

i moved here from LA, where they really know how to give a great mani/pedi. and they aren't cheap, but they are so worth it! here in amsterdam that's not the case. and this place is no exception, very average for amsterdam, yet more expensive than others of the same quality. i booked my appointment for a pedi with a particular person, because she got good reviews, and i was hoping i might find someone in this city who gives an excellent pedi. alas, when i got there they gave me another person. that was disappointing, and petty much negated my reason for going there in the first place. She gave me a pedi that was on par with amsterdam standards, just average, no foot massage, rather rushed, and the seating was quite uncomfortable, sitting on a straight-back bench for an hour. Ugg. for my next pedi I went back to the cheaper place where it's understood I'll get whichever pedicurist is free. at least their seating is comfy, and they do give a short foot massage, better than nothing, and if this place can't be counted on to honor bookings with a particular pedicurist and the pedi is not better than the cheaper place, why pay more? read more

Had a great acrylic gel manicure with shellac polish. Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. I am from the US and between cruises. Was taken without an appointment. Wish I could come back here for my next manicure. read more
