Amanda Brown.
Hi, I'm Amanda, the founder of Take My Hand.

I founded TMH in 2022 with a simple goal: to create a manicure studio where exceptional nail care and genuine hospitality go hand in hand. I believe beautiful nails begin with healthy nails, and every service is designed with long-term nail health, thoughtful technique, and an elevated client experience at its core.
With over 12 years of professional experience, I specialize in bitten and damaged nail recovery, custom neutral pinks, intricate floral nail art, and timeless bridal manicures. Whether you're preparing for your wedding day or beginning your nail health journey, my goal is to create nails that feel effortlessly beautiful while supporting the long-term health of your natural nails.
When I'm not in the studio, you'll usually find me planning my next adventure, reading something questionable on the subway, or training for my next endurance challenge. As an ultramarathon swimmer, I'm no stranger to patience, precision, and consistency, qualities that shape both the way I train and the way I care for every client who sits in my chair.
