I didn't know what I was missing until I found Amanda at Nail Creations!!! I feel like I was wasting my money all those years at the small mom and pop nail salons. Amanda's techniques, knowledge of nail health, and quality of products has changed my view on the importance of having your nails done properly. She is the sweetest! Her salon is so clean and she is creative!! Most of all she is extremely affordable!! read more

Amanda is the best! I've been going to her for awhile now and am always impressed by her skills. She does beautiful work and I would highly recommend her! read more

I've been going to Amanda for almost 12 years now. I rather have naked nails than see anyone else!

THE BEST NAILS! Amanda is so talented and educated with everything nail related. I went from constantly breaking my nails and back to back appointments at previous nail salons, to now healthy and long lasting nails. With Amanda's technique's my nail quality has drastically improved. She's an amazing person and I highly recommend her! read more

I switch over to Amanda's salon a few years ago and have not turned back. Not only is she reasonably priced, she also takes great pride in the work she does. I'm never unhappy with my results. And if I was, she would fix it...free of charge! In addition, my nails last for at least 4 weeks!!! read more

Long overdue review! I get so many compliments on my nails. I love the way they look. My nails are healthy and grow really well with Amanda's help. Amanda is an expert manicurist and perfectionist She is in a great location in Pleasanton ! read more

I"m just updating my review since I'm still seeing Amanda for my nails. That's got to be the best testament of her talents. She's cured the white spots I had on my natural nails and they are healthier than ever. My gel polish manicures last two weeks and I think they would last longer, but I just get sick of the color and want a change after two weeks! Make an appointment with Amanda if you want quality work on your nails- not just a quick manicure that only lasts a few days and damages your nails. She's worth every penny! read more

I have been Amanda's client since 2005. I love how she continues to stay up with trends and certifications. She is extremely knowledgeable in her industry and educates "us" clients on how to care for and maintain healthy nails for a lifetime. Not only is she skilled in her craft but she is incredibly talented with nail art and designs. I get continuous compliments on every manicure that Amanda does on my nails. If you are seeking a manicurist, your search is over. Amanda is hands down the Best in the Bay Area! read more

This review is long over due.... I have been going to Amanda for over 2 years now.... and she is AH-MA-ZING! I refuse to go anywhere else for my gel manicure. Amanda has a collection of nail colors that will blow your mind. I guarantee she has THE color you're looking for to show off on your perfectly manicured nails. Amanda is not only professional and superb at what she does, she's also extremely sweet, and her station is super clean. She carries all of the top notch nail products and will also give you pointers on how to better care for your hands and nails. Like I said, I will not go anywhere else for my gel manicures... she is the BEST =) read more

Amanda truly cares about the health of your nails . This alone is so hard to find in a nail artist. Finally and Over a decade later I have found my nail girl ! She's extremely seasoned ,knowledgeable and is constantly educating herself on her craft! I love my nails and recommend Amanda to everyone I know ! Stop wasting your time and money on chop shops and invest in the quality and integrity of your nails ! read more

Love Amanda! So happy to have found someone who really cares about my nails as much as I do! Had my first appointment today and couldn't be happier. Amanda takes the time to advise on the best type of manicure for your nails. It really is a custom experience, which is a very rare find! You can be sure to leave with healthy beautiful nails. Thank you Amanda! Look forward to my next appointment with you. read more

I've been going the Amanda for close to two years. She is very personable and she is very meticulous in her trade. She offers a variety of services, relish, acrylic , and much more! Pedis too! My service is UV Gel not to be confused with gel polish services -- it is not the same thing! Rare to find after my move from Vegas. She takes her time with your service and wants to know if you are pleased with it and will make every effort to ensure you are happy and goes out of her way to get you in her schedule. Very flexible! I normally get UV Gel pink and white and when I asked her about a special pink I like she ordered it and surprised me and I just love it. She is a joy to be around and does a fantastic job. Check her website and FB, she is always posting new pics. read more

Amanda is an artist! She's been my go to for over 15 years, and she is the absolute best! She's friendly and talented, and truly cares about the health of your nails. She's honest and fair - and she takes cleanliness and hygiene very seriously. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Amanda was so nice and helped me find the perfect design for my nails! I had never gotten a fun nail design and really wanted something festive for the holidays. She really listened to what I wanted and was very nice and friendly throughout the appointment. I told her that I am very hard on my nails and that gel normally doesn't last more than a week on my nails. She told me that probably wouldn't be the case this time and I really didn't believe her. but sure enough it is 2 weeks later and my nails are still going strong! Going to have to remove them for once! read more

Nail Creations - Here are my nails 2 weeks out... I've never had gel last this long! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Amanda is amazing! I went to Amanda to get my nails done for prom and she did great. I wanted shellac and I wanted it to be the color of my heels so she mixed 2 colors together got them to look exactly like my heels. We also had really fun conversations. I really recommend everyone to come here. read more

I get my toes done by Amanda. I'm pedicure phobic so she does shellac polish on my toes only. With out having to get my feet soak. Love shellac it last for a long time. She does a great job and is never in a rush. She does online schedueling which is easy to use. read more

Amanda is a very nice, gentle, and meticulous nail technician. The salon space where she works is clean and welcoming. She was about 15 minutes late, which isn't bad considering I was her last appointment. I want to preface my review with the following disclaimer: By anyone's standard I am a pretty picky person. Over the years I've been disappointed by most nail places recommended by friends... There is only ONE nail technician whom I would rate with 5 stars and she is out of state. With that said here are my impressions of Amanda: I got a spa pedicure, which was better than most pedicures I've had in the recent years because: 1. She actually GOT ALL THE DRY SKIN EXFOLIATED (and so gently that I barely felt anything) and 2. My nail POLISH looked like it was PROFESSIONALLY APPLIED (I put it on very well myself so I expect a professional to do it at least as well, otherwise why spend the money?) 3. She uses GOOD PRODUCTS so that I didn't feel I needed to run to a shower (those of you who have experienced the cheap stuff that smells like toilet cleaner know what I'm talking about!) In sum, I will go back to Amanda and I do recommend her. read more

She did a great job! I'm just not sure the normal price is worth the service (I bought a Yelp deal to try this salon out). For nails there are so many other options! But quality and service is very good for sure. I will probably keep looking for other nail place options. read more

My nails have never been healthier! Amanda definitely knows her stuff and worked with me to provide the best products for my nails. They're long, healthy, don't chip anymore and look beautiful!! read more

I went for the first time a couple days ago and was truly amazed by the way Amanda pays attention to detail. I am one of the most pickiest people when it comes to my nails. I have been in the bay area for about 4 years and never found a nail tech that I liked until now. She has exquisite knowledge on nails and new techniques. I will definatley be back from here on out read more

This review is long time due... she is just great, the products she uses are good quality and they last forever. I used to get my gel manicure every 2 weeks before somewhere else and by the first week the polish used to lift from the top of my nail bed, they wouldn't last. Then I discover Amanda, and i go every 3 weeks, the gel nail polish is intact, i would definitely recommend Amanda! read more

As a former nail tech, I have never found anyone that I was satisfied with to do my acrylics. Most technicians don't have great attention to detail or they are not "updated" in their style and their product. I found Amanda 7 years ago and will drive from Walnut Creek because her quality is THAT good! I love how she has transformed my summer pedicures - between rock star toes or the Shellac toes - I can't believe how long my gorgeous pedis last! My acrylics are gorgeous too - I am more conservative with my pink and whites and does a amazing job on them! read more

I have gone to Amanda twice now for pink and whites. She is great. She has good attention to detail and takes her time doing your nails. The length of all of my nails is the same! Without her even having to hold them up to the other ones to make sure they are right. If you have gotten acrylics before, you know what i am talking about. She is nice and easy to talk to. read more

I am still going to Amanda four years since my last review and continue to be so happy with my manicures. My nails are in great condition and when the polish is removed, I can sure see the difference -- no peeling or white spots! Amanda is constantly researching new products and customizing her manicures to each client. The biggest problem I have is choosing a color since she is constantly updating her collection with the latest colors. I highly recommend Amanda! read more

Amanda has done my nails twice now and they've been pretty close to perfect each time. She's very nice to talk too and I appreciate how clean she keeps her work station. I heard that she was expensive but it's not by much (compared to the nail salons you find on every street corner) and I'm willing to pay the few extra $ for the quality and expertise. I also love all the fun colors that Amanda has as well. Overall I love Amanda and her great work and I leave her salon with pretty nails, what more can a girl ask for :) read more

When I first came to Amanda- my nails were a mess; dry, broken, incredibly thin and I could not get a manicure to last more than 2 weeks without lifting. Amanda explained that it should be a one-size-fits-all approach, because all nails are different. She took her time in finding the right mix of products for my nails and now, a year plus later, my nails are in the BEST shape they've ever been; I get compliments all the time and they last literally 3-4 weeks. Beyond this, she does beautiful work. She has more than enough colors and can do custom designs and artwork. Could not recommend her more! read more

I am SO glad I found Amanda. I was looking for an experienced nail tech to do a full set of acrylics and a pedicure for my upcoming wedding. She advised me on which type of nails to get and even suggested an awesome toe polish/shellac that was FANTASTIC! People could not get over how good they looked. Amanda also explained how long my nails should be and they ended up looking very natural and elegant. I will definitely be back in the future! I can't wait to try some more colors and designs, her work is very creative! read more

I am not one to write reviews but she was amazing. Her work area was very clean and she was very professional. She knew exactly what she was talking about and made me feel very comfortable. Her prices are really good as well. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do gel x. read more

I don't trust my nails to anyone but Amanda! She has been doing my nails for more than seven years and I love her work, personality, and professionalism. Unlike so many other nail technicans, Amanda is an expert with natural nails. My nails are so healthy and beautiful because of her and people often compliment me on them. Since the introduction of the "Shellac" type polishes my manicures last up to 3 1/2 weeks with out chipping. I love color and Amanda always keeps a large variety of colors and will even order something for me if she doesn't have it. Do yourself a favor and try her services once ... you'll be back for more! read more

I have been going to Amanda for more than ten years! She does an excellent job on my shellac nails, "rock stars" and "Sheekee" wrapped toes! She keeps up with the latest trends, is professional, and is always concerned with sanitation! She uses a fresh sealed set of sanitized tools on each client! I highly recommend Amanda at Strictly French. read more

All I can say is WOW!! She can do nails and do them well but if you need something fixed then she treats you like sh!t. I was going to her for about a year without any problems and about a week ago one of my nails lifted and I texted her and asked her if I could come in or should I just try and glue it. Her response was "glue is fine". I asked her when can I come in her response was "I don't work today". I told her I wasn't expecting her to drop everything I just wanted to know a day and time. She couldn't be mature or professional enough to actually help her customer. She is a nail tech that will talk sh!t about you behind your back and to your face act as though she's your best friend. I sure as hell wouldn't recommend her services to anyone ever. I would rather go to a "chop shop" then ever step foot in that salon again. She's MOST DEFINITELY NOT worth the hassle or headache no matter how pretty your nails may look. read more

The little unpretentious place should not throw you off! Pass the impulse to turn around and you will find a wonderful nail technician here and her name is Amanda. She has been doing my rock star toes for almost 2 years and I am so hooked on them! Unlike any other the quality of her work is amazing. My toes look like they JUST had a pedicure from day one to my next visit. They NEVER chip. The rock stars last 6 weeks but I get there every 4 weeks because they are too fun to get. The color selections are endless and Amanda conversations are always a big plus for me. I like to chit chat during my pedicure! Amanda is psychologically minded, even key and consistently delivers a state of the art work. She is patient and takes her time to do a thorough job. I have recommended this place and pass her business card to anyone commenting on " how cool my toes" are. I dread winter now because I want to show off my toes all the time! read more

I have been going to Amanda for over a year now and I always look forward to getting my nails done by her. She spends a great deal of time and effort into making your nails look the absolute best. Each time I come in to see her, she always has new colors, glitter, designs, and new ideas for me to try on my nails. I never leave disappointed or unhappy with my nails, which is saying alot because I'm super picky when it comes to my nails. I recieve numerous compliments for my nails wherever I go, all thanks to Amanda and her talented nail expertise. As usual I can't wait for my next nail appointment in the next couple weeks! Highly recommend her if your looking for a quality nail job! read more

Love the way she comes up with such creative ways to do my nails!! Check her out! You'll never be disappointed!!!!

Amanda has been doing my nails for a few years now...she does an amazing job and is super flexible and organized with appointments.....I could not recommend Amanda any more highly...and she is an amazing person....love her:) read more

When I moved here from Tucson I had not been able to find anyone to do my nails that was as good as the person I had. Then, I found Amanda. She is awesome! She pays attention to detail and always listens to what you want. Not only is she a great technician but she is a really nice person. read more

Amanda does an amazing job. I've been to her 3 times now and I absolutely love my nails! When I started going to her ( a few weeks ago) my nails were in bad shape from some very bad acrylics but now (only after 3 times of going to her) I see a huge improvement in my nails. I highly recommend Amanda! read more

Amanda is an excellent professional in her field. She is on time, she takes 1 hour.. Her business is important to her and her clients time is important as well. That equates to a professional. Thank you so much for making me shine.... read more

PROFESSIONAL! I'm a newby, and was referred to Amanda by a friend. I like a very natural look, and Amanda's work is flawless. I play guitar, and sometimes need really short nails on one hand. Amanda didn't scoff at my unique request. The online scheduler is SO convenient! If you are a busy woman, it is so easy to jump online and immediately schedule. The scheduler sends you an email, and voile! It's added to your calendar! Amanda even sends me an alert, if she notices its almost time, and I'm not on the books! She is flexible and always prompt, and she always is done within the hour. And, she is cool to talk to! You will not be disappointed. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Amanda. I have been going to her for about 6 months now for both gel and shellac manicures. They always last 2 to 3 weeks and I could probably wait longer except for the growth showing above my cuticle. She is very professional and I especially like that she honors appointments, which you can make and change with her online scheduler. Her nail art is beautiful and she is always up to date with the latest trends and colors. It is a pleasure to do business with Amanda! read more
