Their facials are out of this world.
Raquel New York — a trendy Tribeca skincare studio beloved among boldfacers — is making waves in the beauty world for combining high-end aesthetics with astrology.
Founded by Raquel Medina-Cleghorn, whose fans include Jennifer Lawrence, Emily Ratajkowski and Claire Danes, the pampering parlor housed in a sixth-floor loft on Walker Street is offering clients the option of birth chart readings from esthetician Monica David, along with their luxury facials.
“It opens your mind because we’re talking specifically about that person’s very personal life without me knowing a thing about them,” David, 33, told The Post.
According to a Harris Poll earlier this year, 95% of Americans know their astrological sign, with 70% believing in it, saying they seek out readings for entertainment, self-understanding and self-care. Three in 10 Americans polled said they splurge on astrology-related services every month.
At Raquel New York, that splurge costs $150 — on top of fees ranging from $500 to $1,350 per appointment. For their money, guests receive a 25-minute astro analysis, which David promises can be eerily on point.

Fast-fashion brands like Zara, Mango and H&M were once considered the go-to stores for stylish and affordable clothes — but with tariffs jacking up prices as much as 40%, this holiday season, trendsetters are being forced to look elsewhere for reasonably priced, festive attire to wear to fancy soirees.
