pH7 Nail Couture

Let me start by saying that pH7 is my go-​to pedicure place. It’s very relaxing and they do a great job. The interior is gorgeous. The girls are all nice and professional. It’s quiet. I love it. Which makes this next part extra sad…
The manicure is just eh. I got a manicure two days ago (Tuesday evening) and my nails already look bad. Even though the manicure wasn’t that great to begin with. It’s what I would expect from a $ 6 dollar manicure, not a $ 18 manicure.

Awful awful experience. First I sat there for 20 minutes without anyone talking to me. Technicians lied to me when I finally was acknowledged. I emailed and asked for a specific service and when I arrived I was told they don’t offer that service. The technician then argued with me and tried to blame me for the mix up offering nothing in return for this inconvenience.
Please do not waste your time coming to this unprofessional establishment.

Love this place! The cal gel lasts for weeks. Kim always does a beautiful job on my nails. They really listen & try to make your nail dreams come true.

Let me start this off by saying I’m not a girl who gets frequent manicures — maybe 2 a year when I’m feeling particularly indulgent. But my boyfriend and I walked past this place before going to the movies and we both stopped to marvel at how cute it was. I decided if it was still open after the movie was over, I’d go in for a manicure. I work in a bagel shop, so my hands get destroyed. They get cut, burnt, dry from washing dishes all the time, and any polish or length on my nails gets destroyed in one shift. But I decided I should do something nice to them for a change, so in I went.
They were able to take me right away without an appointment, which was awesome. The color selection blew me away! Every shade of every color you could want, and high end brands, not the drugstore stuff I buy myself for two dollars that I see in most nail salons. I picked out a killer rust color by Butter and sat down for the mani. Now, besides being generally beat up by my job, I also have a terrible habit of picking my cuticles like crazy. The technician, Kim, did an amazing job of cleaning them up and making them look neat and feel much better. I appreciated that she asked before she did it, as I’ve had nail technicians just dig in and cause me a lot of pain before (her job was also pain-​free!). The short hand massage was also great for my aching hands.
Polish application was quick and great — no mess ups at all. Got a much-​needed and appreciated neck massage while I waited for the polish to dry, which made my waiting boyfriend want to get a mani of his own. The quick dry stuff they put on my nails made them dry soooo much faster than those UV lights most places use. I always without a doubt end up smudging a nail with those.
Procedure was definitely more expensive than I’ve paid at most places, but I can’t say it wasn’t worth it. It was relaxing, pampering, and the quality of service and products was great. And best of all: I JUST MADE IT THROUGH A WHOLE SHIFT WITHOUT A CHIP IN MY NAILS! Miraculous, I swear. Next time I’m feeling like a princess, I’ll come back for a pedicure.

What an Awesome nail salon! CHEMICAL FREE! This is the first time in years I have left a nail salon with headache free!!! No fumes!
Super quiet space, very clean and they do a fantastic job! Def will be back!

The service here is fantastic! Don’t try to do a walk-​in, book ahead or call the day of to get an appointment.
It is pricier but you pay for the attentive service and ambiance. Imagine a nail salon without a tv blaring in the background, loud chatter or feeling rushed. Instead get a glass of water, listen to some good music and have a great selection of non-​toxic nail polishes.
I’ve had pedicures, manicures and gel manicures here and it’s definitely worth scheduling yourself for a relaxing appointment. A quick note, the gel manicure might take a little longer than you’re used to because they do pay attention to detail but, great results!
p. s. bring cash to tip.

Just moved to this area. pH7 is the best nail salon in this neighborhood! A lot of selection of colors, reasonable price and very good service! Will be back soon!!!

I was thrilled to find an Eco-​conscious nail salon so close to my apt. pH7 has a wide variety of 5-​free polishes and one of the best-​decorated salons in Williamsburg. The place is welcoming and doesn’t have that strong chemical scent common in other salons. I got a mani-​pedi with Carol. She did a great job with a gentle touch and was happy to take off more cuticle when I asked. They offered me organic rose hip & chamomile tea which made me feel extra pampered. A 5-​free mani-​pedi will run you at $ 47 which is admittedly more than other spots, but absolutely worth it! I had a relaxing experience and nails that still look gorgeous a week later.

Such a great pedicure it lasted well over a month! I couldn’t believe it because I went on vacation to the Caribbean where I swam, hiked and snorkeled up a storm, and my nails looked just as good as when I walked out of the salon!

I think this is one of the most nicely decorated and cleanest nail salons in Brooklyn. Their shelving and tables are made of reclaimed wood. They are big on using nail polishes that are free of formaldehyde. Overall, I like the environmentally-​conscious theme of this salon as I am a big environmentally-​conscious person myself.
This place has USLU, Deborah Lippman, Butter London nail polishes. I was really excited about this collection because not very many salons carry these. The price point for a manicure is on the higher end ($ 19.75 after tax). My manicurist Gigi did a great job in meticulously shaping and painting my nails and I only get my nails done professionally maybe 1−2x a year, so I thought it was worth the one time splurge. She was also very careful in cutting my cuticles, so a big plus!
I’d recommend this nail salon to my friends.

Not a typical nail salon– it’s something different. I’m so happy that the Cal-​gel has finally made its way into Williamsburg! I will write my official Cal-​gel review once I get it but I went for a regular mani and it was incredible!

Perfect Nail Salon for Girls who Hate Typical Nail Salons!
I used to only have my nails done for special occasions when I absolutely had to for civility-​sakes because I really can’t stand going to the typical nail salon, but pH7 is really exceptional in terms of service, environmental-​friendliness, cleanliness, atmosphere, etc. I loved it so much that I am taking my 4-​year-​old daughter to get her nails done for the first time since she’s been begging me for the last two years (don’t judge me). I don’t know how my daughter turned out so girly, but I suppose I should not fight it else it will only get worse :)

Lovely environment and very friendly staffs here. Brought my little girl here for her bday treat and you can see how happy she is from her big smiles. The owner is very nice, esp. to kids. Super recommended. Ohh forgot to mention, they only use non toxic nail polish !! This part is a super plus! Esp, as a mom and you know how kids eat…

I really wanted to like this place. The selection of polishes is great, and the interior is very nicely done and peaceful. Unfortunately I’m not so happy with the manicure and pedicure I was given. Both chipped the same day, so I went back and got them touched up, which was free save for the tip. But unfortunately the ‘gel manicure’ didn’t even last a week, they chipped again within 3 days. And the way they were painted on was very strange. I had these huge gaps between the base of my nail and the cuticle, much larger than necessary, it just didn’t look very nice.
Don’t think I would go back. Which is a shame because the place is quite nice and a welcome change from the other more stressful places near by.

The place is zen, cute and very relaxing. The products are great as they use the famous 3-​free. But other than that I would not recommend this place. The cashier was nice. My technician did not do a good job. Both Pedi Mani are terrible. I had a good length I wanted to keep. I explained and showed her what I wanted with round nails. I find myself my square nails and the length is bad. I honestly look like I have pig feet. When I saw what she was doing I mentioned RoundER. And she was frustrated and failed even shorter. Will not go back unless they have really good technician.

I’m obsessed with this place, everything was fantastic (especially upon entering when you are asked if you would like water or tea)
I felt completely pampered and my technician was so kind and attentive, don’t miss out going anywhere else!

I am very pleased with the whole experience!
Una was extremely accurate in her work and I will definitely use her again.
The salon is modern and clean, and the environment is quiet. You are offered tea and water and the chairs are comfortable. Also it is easy to book your appointment online, which is important to me.
Go check it out!

I am completely mystified by the ridiculously amazing prices of manicures in this city. Like… just flabbergasted.
That being said, this was definitely one of the more upscale of salons I’ve been to. It’s clean, minimal decorations but effectively designed, and very casual. They offer water or tea while you wait to begin the service.
The manicure itself was decent, and the manicurist was efficient, polite and skilled. I have short nails and she shaped them perfectly to my liking.
The nail polish colors are all fantastic brands! Dior, Tom Ford, Butter London, RGB, & Deborah Lippmann. Beautiful colors that last and don’t fade and are 3-​free!
All in all, it was fast and inexpensive, and I left a hearty tip for the excellent work my manicurist did. The receptionist also assured me if I had any chips in the next few days I could come back and get it fixed (I assume free of charge, but I’m not sure).
Great location, products, service, atmosphere and price!

Extremely minimal, calming décor– very farm to table. The top40 music they were playing was a poor choice for such a stunning salon. It cheapened it up.
I did mani+pedi with foot and back massages.
The polish application was OK. The top coat was not applied well, so I see where it stops and the RGB polish begins — unflattering with the nude color I selected.
The pedicure basins were uncomfortable to rest my feet on for the service. I couldn’t relax or else the basin would start to move and thereby messing up my french pedicure application. Tenoverten executes the pedicure basins better.
Skip the massages. they’re sadly amateur.

Killer selection of colors (RBG, Deborah Lippmann, Butter, Dior, and more – no Essie, no OPI).
VERY helpful and conscientious, laidback staff. Salon manager Helen was extremely nice.
Manicurist Una was not bothered when I switched my color during my manicure. (Though her hand massage was a little limp.)
The cuticle pushing and cutting was not extremely thorough but the paint job was good, they didn’t mind me asking to do over a nail, and they were very sweet and concerned about making sure I got a good mani.
Helen said if anything chipped within 3 days to come back for a touch up. WHEN DOES A SALON EVER SAY THAT!!! So amazing. Glad to have this place in my neighborhood.
Wish they had 2 massage chairs – the one was taken and I would have gone for a massage.
Fair prices. As long as they stay like that I will keep coming back.
