Electrolysis recommendation anyone?

I've been getting laser hair removal treatment but hair mostly does not decrease so I decided to move to electrolysis on face as it is the most consistent way to make the hair go away. Please advice based on experience where can I get the treatment? I have tried it several times prior to moving to Berlin and the skin reaction as different based on the professional's skill and experience, so I just want to ensure that I will go to a good professional here too. Also, how much is price per 30 minutes on average?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You could try Elektrolyse Berlin in Schöneberg, near U-Bahn Kleistpark. They use the blend method too and charge about 48 euros for 30 minutes, with a bit of a discount if you book a block of sessions. The woman who runs it is a medical aesthetician, which makes a difference for facial work, and she's good at adjusting settings for different hair types. I'd skip the cheaper places in Wedding for face electrolysis, they tend to crank the current too high and you'll end up with more redness and scabbing.
I'd recommend checking out Praxis Silvia Höhne near U-Bahn Turmstraße. She's been doing electrolysis for over 20 years and really knows her stuff. For face work, she charges around 50 euros for 30 minutes, which is pretty standard here. The key is she uses blend method instead of thermolysis, so you get less redness afterward.
I've had good results at Kosmetikstudio Grit Schumann near U Hermannplatz. She specializes in facial electrolysis and is very careful with technique, especially around sensitive areas like the upper lip. Her pricing is 45 euros for 30 minutes, slightly cheaper than some places in Mitte. The skin reaction is minimal if you go in with clean skin and avoid caffeine beforehand, which she'll tell you anyway.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
