Raquel New York

It’s all about the science when it comes to skincare, according to aesthetician Raquel Medina-Cleghorn, who recently opened Raquel New York, her namesake studio in Tribeca. Perched on top of an historic loft building filled with art galleries, the 1,800-square-foot, light-filled studio is a minimalist nod to ’70s Italian post-modernism. The serene space includes art by photographer David Allee and a retail gallery filled with unique skincare and lifestyle products. Medina-Cleghorn combines innovative technologies, deep tissue massage and science-backed, efficacious products in her face and body treatments to transform skin into its best version. Among her fans are Jennifer Lawrence, Léa Seydoux and Amber Valletta.

Jess Bowers

A facial with Jess Bowers in the West Village or Paris (she splits her time) is something different. The holistic aesthetician offers clients a less is more approach while leaving them with sculpted and glowing skin. Visitors to her space will find themselves falling asleep in the bed during the facial as one's energy is reset. You'll awake feeling and looking like a new person. She's not pushing products or even necessarily extracting. She'll assess your skincare needs onsite and decide what's needed (maybe it's even just an energy shift).
