I had never had a facial before (was so scared of them because of teen acne trauma and doctors poking and prodding me) but GingerChi has cured me of my fear! Such a wonderful, lovely, and calming place, with knowledgeable and caring practitioners. I feel pretty and glowing when I emerge, and that’s a rare thing. I encourage everybody to make this place part of their wellness routine! It heals on the surface, but well below the surface too ♥️

Can't recommend this place enough. Relaxing treatment in a soothing space. Anna is knowledgable and does an amazing job. I could see a noticeable difference immediately after the facial and will be glowing for days!

I found GingerChi's Heaven & Earth Gua Sha facial through a Google search for "best facials in NYC" and it absolutely did not disappoint! Anna welcomed me into the space with such warmth and kindness. We immediately connected over great conversations. She explained the procedure every step of the way and my face was truly transformed afterwards. We didn't think of doing before/after photos, but an hour and a half with Anna definitely made a huge difference to my face. I felt like a work of art! Or a sculpture even. :)The products used during the facial smelled great and worked wonders--to the point where my skin does not work with other products since (especially those that have harsh or toxic ingredients.) I'm also more aware of how my skin reacts to different products now. I bought a beautiful jade gua sha right after, as well as the oil cleanser. I received a gift bag with samples of all the products used during the procedure and have been using them to the last drop. I am also shopping GingerChi goodies now for my friends outside of NYC because I can not stop raving about this place!I'm due for my second 1.5 hour facial this week and I really can't wait! The energy in the space and Anna's care for what she does is healing and unique. It has changed the way I take care of my face and myself in general. I've only had two other facial treatments in my lifetime and hope to treat myself more often with GingerChi. Thank you, Anna!

Incredible experience at GingerChi spa! Anna and Amy were both so kind and attentive. I had acupressure and gua sha done on the face and body and as someone who has had her fair share of massages, I never felt more relaxed leaving a massage than I did this one. I cannot say enough good things! I’ll definitely be coming back for a facial!!

Amazing place! Just went in to buy a gua sha and comb and Ana was so helpful and kind. She had recommendations for what I was looking for and gave me helpful advice and a free sample of face oil. Very welcoming and wonderful vibe overall, they also served me some delicious tea!

Found Anna and gingerChi through a quick google search and am so happy I did. Anna and her shop is a gem in Chinatown and the gua sha facial was so good. I usually don’t feel a difference from facials but Anna’s products and tools made a difference.If you’re looking for a great facial with quality products, try this place!

I am so happy I found Gingerchi and the 60 minute Heaven & Earth Gua Sha Natural Face Lift facial is exactly what I was looking for! Immediately after the treatment, I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. I could already see my face was depuffed and glowing. Anna was so lovely and accommodating. She is so knowledgeable and taught me so much about Gua Sha. I left with a bag of samples and purchased the Jade Gua sha face tool so I can add it to my skincare routine. I can't wait to go back!

This was a completely healing experience for me. I booked the appointment because of a lot of tension and stress I had been feeling at work and had felt pain in my neck and head. Ana did a wonderful job helping me relax and let go, I felt brand new at the end. I was welcomed into the quaint space immediately and connected with Ana on a personal level which allowed me to feel safe and trust her right away. Not only did the facial relieve the tightness, but I also looked amazing at the end....glowing and youthful! I even cried at the end feeling lighter and more at ease. Ana was supportive and kind and served me tea as I rested a little while longer. I will be coming back time and time again!

I never leave reviews but GingerChi is a place that shouldn't be gatekept. The Heaven Earth Gua Sha Natural Face Lift is nothing short of heavenly and I've never felt more at peace than during (and after) my sessions. Anna has the most warm energy that creates the most comfortable atmosphere for her clients. Between the vibrational sounds, hot tea offered, relaxing smells, and unbelievable Gua Sha experience... there's no other spa in NYC that compares.Anna is not only passionate about GingerChi's products and treatments, but has expert knowledge. She makes the experience so personable and gives skincare recommendations for you without pushing her own products, showing genuine care for your wellness. Every part of the experience is so intentional! I could not recommend this place enough and counting down until I book again :)Thank you Anna!!

I visited Gingerchi last week for a Heaven & Earth Gua Sha Natural Face Lift facial and it was one of the best facials I have received in my life! From the moment I stepped in, Anna was so thoughtful and made sure to make me feel comfortable and at ease.I booked the 90 minutes slot which includes Gua Sha application to the head/scalp, neck, shoulder and lower back and it was so relaxing and just what I needed. The use of hot stones and cold Gua Sha stones was so relaxing and made my face and whole body feel so rejuvenated afterwards. I learnt a lot from Anna regarding Gua Sha application and can't wait to incorporate it in my daily routine.Even a week later, I feel like my face is glowing and I feel more relaxed in general. Would highly recommend Gingerchi and can't wait to come back! Thank you for such a great experience :)

Where other neighboring facial spas falter, Ginger Chi shines. They’re not pushy about their products and really try to make you feel comfortable during your session.I booked the About Face Combo (includes extractions + Gua Sha treatment) and Helen was fantastic in explaining every step to me to ensure I felt comfortable. Anna was also there to greet me at the start and end, explained the products used on me, and gave me samples to take home (the regenerating face serum is so good!). Extractions were also barely painful, so much so that I fell asleep during it.Can’t believe I waited this long to book a facial, but now I can’t wait to be back!

I had the Heaven and Earth facial with Anna. Best facial I’ve ever had. Every detail was considered — the tea I was served on arrival, hot stones to keep me warm and relaxed, the incredible Ginger Chi Products. Lots of facial massage which felt wonderful and left my skin feeling healthy and de-puffed.

I had the 60 minute heaven and earth facial/gua sha with Anna. It was such a calming and transformative experience. I ended up leaving with a package of 4 sessions and multiple products. Definitely recommend ?

I cannot say enough good things about GingerChi and its owner, Anna! I received a Heaven and Earth Gua Sha 90 minute facial as a birthday present and made an appointment for last week. From start to finish the whole experience was HEAVENLY. Booking was easy and personalized. When I arrived at the shop, I was instantly relaxed by the smells and ginger tea Anna offered me. My treatment was pure bliss -- Anna talked me through what she was doing and the products she was using and ensured my comfort throughout. At the end of the session, I felt no pressure whatsoever to buy anything. But, since I do favor all natural products and the smells were incredible, I couldn't resist leaving with a few new items for my skincare regimen. I have already told my boyfriend that I will take a treatment at GingerChi for all future gifts -- I can't wait to return and to spread the word about this amazing business!

This review is about a month late but still thinking about this facial!Everyone was so kind and educated me on the process of gua sha, etc and after an hour my face totally changed- glowing, depuffed and clear of impurities. They serve you this wonderful tea at the end as well to continue your cleansing process. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
