    Cherry details!
    Serena C.

    I live in Manhattan and I train to Williamsburg to get my nails done here! All of the ladies are very nice and so gentle on my nails- both putting on and taking off polish/gel/dip. Not only this, but I love the designs Amy does for me. She has a great attention to detail and I always request her. Pricing is very fair- cash is preferred!

    I live not too far from the area and desperately needed to find my new go-to nail salon. So glad I came across Agua De La Vida. It helps to make an appointment, especially if you're planning on going after 5pm. I go pretty simple - a gel mani and regular pedi came out to $57.75 if you pay with card. Tip with cash! It's very fairly priced and the service is great. I've been a couple times now and the ladies always take their time to make sure everything is cleaned up and to your liking.

    I was done a couple weeks ago. And it is still on but grew out a bite.

    I loved this place the manager help me did my powdered manicure. The vibe in the Solon was nice and professional.

    Rash from waxing

    I have had great experiences here in the past. You can get an eyebrow, lip, and chin wax here for a fantastic price. One practitioner is fantastic and I have been waxed by her multiple times. However most recently I was serviced by someone else and they did a very poor job. It seemed like the wax was not hot enough so it barely got any of the hair. When I told the provider she seemed to not understand. In addition, to being left with virtually the same amount of hair I came in with I also got a bad rash that lasted for days, including some especially dark spots. I have been getting waxed for 20 years and that has never happened to me before. The picture I attached is from three days after I was waxed.

    A friend and I made an appmt for a Friday evening. Upon arrival we were promptly seated for our mani pedis. The shop is small, but clean, bright, and welcoming! The pedicure massage chairs were great, and our techs really took their time and made it a relaxing experience. We got the spa pedicures for $48, which include callous removal, a foot and leg mask, a massage, and polish of your choice; a really reasonable deal. We each got a regular mani, which was quick and efficient. They are clearly a popular spot, as all stations were full and walk-ins were also coming by, and for good reason based on my experience. They also have an ATM in the back which is great if you forgot cash for tip (card tipping allowed, but cash always preferred!)

    Nice people but the woman completely ruined my nails when removing the gel! She scrapped so hard that she literally gouged bits out of the middle of two nails. Now my nail is growing out all crooked and broken... It hurt so bad and she kept saying my gel that I knew was a gel was a dip... I just wish I had spoken up about her being so rough. Also, I had her just take the gel off and put clear nail polish on and she charged me 22 dollars. Their mani pedi is supposedly 30 bucks so that pissed me off even more. I would not recommend for any removal. The plain mani pedi is a good price but after this experience I won't be back.

    Their new location super cool and nice!

    This by far our spa to to go to. I Had been coming here for almost 5 years now. If you need anything from waxing to mani and pedi this is the place you should be coming to friendlier and knowledgeable staff.. right outside the lorimer and metropolitan subway station on the L train you won't missed it.

    This has been my go to place for over a year. I kept coming here even after I moved out of Williamsburg. I've had a variety of the technicians and they're all great. I've gotten SNS dip powder with tips and without, soft gel manicures, and regular pedicures. Prices are what you expect for the area, $50 ish for dip powder manicure, more if you add tips or designs. I also think they have good practices for keeping your nails healthy. They soak off process is never rushed and my nails don't feel weak as they grow out. Overall 10/10 love this place

    Wow! The service is top notch. My friend first came just to remove her toe nail polish, while I told that I would return after dinner for a mani pedi. So this place closes at 8:30 pm, I returned at 7:55 pm, I see many customers still in the nail salon, but one of the ladies (who seems like the boss) assured me that there was time for both. I waited in the massage chair where the pedis were being done for about 25 minutes. In between, she checked in with me telling me she was almost done, and when it was my turn, she apologized. She was very thorough with cleaning and filing and buffing my feet. I noticed the team culture here, too. She actually had to run off after prepping me to finish someone else's manicure, so someone else came to paint my toenails and another girl got started on my manicure. Then the original lady came back to finish the pedicure. I initially chose a light pink, wanted darker. They gave me advice saying that color suited older women (haha I suppose so!) and I settled on one, then later chose another one. The manicurist was very patient with me. Everything went well and when drying my fingers and toes, the original lady came around and gave me and the remaining two customers also drying quick back massages. She was also very attentive to make sure our toe nail polish wouldn't be messed up as we put our shoes on. The entire salon stayed open an extra 45 minutes for us, not rushing us AT ALL. $25 plus my generous tip for all three ladies well spent. P.S. I think this is the first time I didn't have to clean up any remaining nail polish around my cuticles myself. (Granted, this is only my 7th manicure (I think), but it tells me that they are very meticulous here.)

    Spa pedicure $48

    Situated an easy peasy block away from the Lorimer Street L/Metropolitan Ave G subway station, this nail salon is an all around winner. They offer mani, pedi, waxing, chair massages, and possibly more. Free WiFi is great. I am in pregnant, in my third trimester and am having a hard time reaching my toenails so I came for the $48 spa pedicure. This wonderful spa pedicure includes a sugar scrub, foot and leg moisturizing mask, seat salt soak, callous removal, 10 minute massage, and nail polish of your choice. Their selection includes Essie, Opi and gel nail polishes. I was offered water when I sat for my service. The massage chair was fantastic. Technicians wear masks and gloves, so I felt safe even during fall when flu and illnesses are on the rise. I like deep tissue massage, but the 10 minute more of a relaxing gentle massage. I didn't ask for a deeper massage though because let's be honest, I booked this service primarily for the pedicure. If I wanted a massage, I would've booked s straight massage. My polish job included a base coat, polish, 2nd polish, top coat, and was very neat. The spa pedicure can take around 45 minutes to one hour so plan accordingly. Highly recommend!

    Regular pedicure! ($23)

    Do they offer dip manicures?

    Yes! And they are amazing at it!

    Is this business closed?

    No, it just moved locations! It's right around the corner now from their old location.

    Did this place move or close permanently? It's no longer there on Metropolitan! I was shocked to see it gone the other day, been going a long time.

    It's around the corner from their last spot. Now on Lorimer

    Do you do acrylic?

    No !! I wanted to do acrylic when I came but settled for a gel mani ($28) since I was already there

    Is an appointment required or I can walk-in?

    You can walk in!

    How much for a regular mani?

    $10

    I would give five stars but management is not the best so I took off one…read more I have been a patron at this location since it opened two years ago (literally visited the weekend it opened). Prior to this location, I was a customer at the location near Union Square for about 4 years but thankfully, the Williamsburg location is closer to my home so I switched. I started out going to Shivani who went out on maternity leave and recommended Emely so I have been going to her for over a year now. Emely is amazing! She's very good at her job but she's also friendly and attentive. I have made it clear that the products aren't the best for my skin so I only buy the body butter. As a result, she does not push me to purchase products which can be frustrating to constantly have products pushed on you. If Emely leaves, I'm going wherever she goes!

    Very professional staff and all rooms are individualized and private for the customer. What is so…read moregood about this place is that they do no redip sticks at all like those other salons I be seeing redipping and using scissors and tweezers without dipping into the blue alcohol. This place is very sanitary and everything is new and disposable. Their scissors and tweezers are in blue alcohol so you can rest assure. Staff attended me was very professional and fast at what she was doing. I had to get some hair off and she did it alright. There were some hairs that couldn't come off due to ingrown hairs and a short length. She did tweeze some of them after waxing. They put baby powder on before you get into the waxing. Afterwards they apply cream. Luckily my skin isn't red when they finish the procedure so they do a nice job.
