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

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.

How many times do you repeat an action before it becomes a habit?…read more If its THREE, my habit is Schönerie. Back again...this time for a multitude of well-deserved pampering and tailoring on a day of relaxation. Katrin (the owner) was my sole companion for this voyage of beauty, skillfully translating my "please help me!" cries into German and then making prettiness happen. *eyebrow pluck *eyelash tint (where has THIS been all my life?) *manicure *pedicure *facial --------------- 130 + tip = 150 euros for the whole shebang. Shebangs! Shebangs! She looks better. The space is beautiful and tranquil, quiet and relaxing (I passed out during the facial). Katrin has a really calming presence and I felt very well cared for, like I wanted to just move in. Wouldn't that be great? Highly recommended for all of the above services. The nail stuff was a bit different than what I've had in the past (you get used to things!) but in the end, my hands/feet are smooth as butter with nice polish to match. The facial was absolutely great, relaxing and included a really nice face, shoulder, scalp massage. FANTASTIC. A habit, and one that I am keeping as long as I am in Berlin. *remember, cash only! *by appointment.

How can you not love a place called Schönerie? As an aside, the first German phrase I learned in…read moreGermany was "Sehr schön," which was a compliment from the lady sitting next to me on the plane ride from Munich to Berlin. Okay, okay...so the compliment may have been directed towards my adorable Siamese-mix cat and not me, but more the reason to go to Schönerie, right? Schönerie was located a whole one and a half blocks away from my flat in Berlin, which made it very convenient and very dangerous for a woman with a spa habit. It was easy to make an appointment via e-mail, and next-day appointments were usually available. I had several different therapists here, and they all provided fabulous pregnancy massages that were quite relaxing for this mama-to-be. Easily my favorite spa in Berlin!
