Fabula Holistic Skincare Studio

I’m so happy to have been referred to Claudia at her spa, Fabula Skincare. I’ve had many facials in my day and this one truly stood out — not only is Claudia very knowledgeable about skincare, she really personalized the experience to ensure that I received the best possible treatment for my skin. It is obvious that she truly cares about her clients — in addition to providing an incredibly thorough facial, she also gave a relaxing massage, recommendations for vitamins that would work based on my skin type as well as samples to try. She immediately felt like a friend I had known for ages. My skin still feels great and I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend! A+

When I moved to NYC one of my goals was the find the perfect person to regularly see for skincare and facials. Fast forward countless facials and I think I finally found that person! At throughout the facial, Claudia talks to you about your skin history and your overall wellness in order to figure out the best treatment and beauty regimen. Aside from my skin looking amazing, I was completely relaxed.
I can’t wait to go back this month for another clarity facial!

I’ve been going for years and this is the best facial and best products in manhattan. My skin is sensitive and moody AT BEST and I’ve never had a problem. My skin looks amazing after a treatment. Best facial you will ever have. Hands down. If you can get in, you need to go!!! And brows are money well spent!!!

I’d never had a facial before coming here, and I’m so glad I went to Claudia for my first one! Claudia made me feel relaxed and right at home. The facial itself was an awesome experience: very relaxing and tingly. I opted for the extraction as well as the mini-​facial I had a gift certificate for. The blackheads that used to cover my nose since puberty are gone! And even though I went for my facial in the beginning of February, the blackheads have not come back! I would definitely recommend Fabula Skincare and Claudia for their facials and extractions.

I have been going to Claudia for many years after trying spa facials. There really is no comparison. Claudia knows my skin, uses wonderful natural products and I always leave feeling like I have a glow. She is a wonderful person on top of doing a fabulous job with my skin. I really enjoy my facials and look forward to them and my chats with her — an even a nap! Can’t recommend her enough!

I don’t know if there is a better facialist out there than Claudia. She has been taking care of my skin for at least 5 years, and I credit her with looking at least that much younger than my age! Or so people say. More importantly, it feels wonderful to get a treatment, and like another reviewer, my facials from Claudia are an integral part of my self care. Each and every penny is worth it!

I have been seeing Claudia for well over a decade now, and I will not let anyone else touch my skin. I have experienced marked improvement in the condition of my skin over the years, and often receive complements on how young I look and how beautiful my skin is. Claudia brings a unique blend of scientific knowledge and intuition to her facials, and always treats her clients individually, with gentle care and respect. I love the natural, organic products that enhance her work. My regular facials with Claudia are a health commitment I make to myself. Claudia and Fabula are the best!!!

my last review got filtered so i’m writing an update.
yes, i highly recommend Fabula facials! i usually have problems with breakouts. i have gotten both facials and peels with Claudia and my skin cleared up!
see my previous review i wrote for more general comments.
what i want to comment on this review is what happens when you have a allergic reaction after a facial at fabula — i had a great facial, my skin felt good, i felt relaxed and really well rested. but the next day, i had an allergic reaction on my face. i wrote an e-​mail to Claudia. she wrote back soon after i wrote her even though it was a saturday. she asked me to send her pictures. over the next couple days, my allergic reaction went away. Claudia followed up with me to check on my allergic reaction. there was one new product that was used in the facial which is what i’m probably allergic to. last thing anyone wants after a facial is an allergic reaction! but if/​when that happens, rest assured, at Fabula you have Claudia who will follow up with you and work with you.
i am one of these people that get mistaken for being much younger than actual age. but as i get older, looking younger is becoming more of a challenge too. getting facials with Claudia isn’t taking years off my age since i look younger than my age anyway. but it is certainly helping me to maintain my skin to look healthy, hydrated, free of breakouts and staying away from pre-​mature aging!
