Great experience at Shijin today! I don't know why it is so hard in Berlin to find an esthetician…read morewho does extractions and doesn't just slap on a mask and call it a day. Rosa was amazing, and I can confidently say that I look and feel much better already. My skin has really taken a beating in the Berlin winter, (dry and oily?!?!?) I knew I needed some help, but I wanted someone who really understood my skin. Making an appointment was easy, (just a quick phone call). The spa is well appointed with lots of beautiful amenities, and every area was spotless. The questions Rosa asked about my skincare regime were relevant, and her advice of what products that she suggested came with a caveat...try them at home first i.e.; she didn't ask me to buy anything unless I really liked the product! What an honest and wonderful way to do business! Shijin is a breath of fresh air, and not to be missed for anyone wanting to look and feel better about their skin.

I found this place via yelp and decided to give it a try. Location is perfect near sbahn station…read morearound wonderful streets of prenzlauer berg, it was a pure pleasure to wander around. I had a microdermabrasion and couldn't ask for more. Studio is very clean, modern and makes you feel from the start that it will be a great journey into relaxation. Iam not new to micro been in many places but only here I had received a special pre peeling made out from zinc. Equipment looks and feels well maintained Denise who took care of the whole process was very informative and gentle. After your face od being gently ,, vacuum cleaned'' you will revive a wonderful face massage followed by citrus smell hydrating gel mask. It felt like heaven! You will be let for approx 10 min so the mask can work out, later on Professional beautician will gently remove the rest with warm towels and apply cream and optimally make up. Face and complexion looks brighter and feels smoother. Totally recommend this treatment to anyone who would like to not only relax but also exfoliate sun or residual marks. 4-6 series might be the best option.

A perfect place to relax and give yourself a time for pleasure.read more

Had a wonderful experience getting a pedicure today. Incredibly relaxing, clean and wonderful…read morestaff. I'm heading back tomorrow to get a body-scrub massage and spray tan, so I'll do a final update then. A few notes today: *The spa is located on the 6th floor of the Weinmeister Hotel (in the general area of U-bahn Weinmeisterstrasse, the M1 tram stop for Weinmeisterstrasse/Gipsstrasse when you go south and Hackescher Markt going north or Hackescher Markt S-bahn stop itself). When you enter the front door (with the "street art" on it), you have to have the staff let you into the elevator/lift area since you don't have a keycard. You just say that you have an appointment at the BeautySpa and hoped they could let you in to the elevator. I speak German, but the hotel staff speaks English very well. *Pedicure was excellent. You have your own private room and recline with cookies, tea, lemon water. Good quality color selection. Service was excellent. Cost was 55 Euro for pedicure and color. Most of their prices are online, though, so you can check those out. The woman I worked with spoke some English but we stuck to German since she feels more comfortable with that. She is Italian, so she speaks that as well. *They accept cash, Visa, Mastercard and EC-card (which is a German/European type of card). Overall, recommended.

Manicure by Valentina was outstanding. Unfortunately the pedicure by the other staff member was subpar, with aggressive and somewhat painful cuticle removal and truly bad paint job that I will have to have redone elsewhere. If you can get Valentina, I would recommend without hesitation, as the location, vibe, and service are all fantastic.
