Skin Stories NYC

I had an amazing experience with Karina . She was knowledgeable about my skin and personable. It felt like catching up with an old friend while having a relaxing spa experience! Can’t wait to come back!

I had the best hydrofacial with Karina, my skin feels so amazing and clean. She knew exactly what my skin needed and has all the right things to keep your skin glowing. The studio is so warm and cozy, I can’t wait to come back and treat my mom next time!

I cannot recommend Skin Stories (SS) enough! As an very dark skin African American woman struggling with melasma, finding the right skincare professional who truly understands my skin's unique needs has been a challenge—until I met Karina. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and understood. Karina took the time to listen to my concerns and crafted a personalized treatment plan that specifically targeted my melasma. Her expertise in treating hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones is unparalleled. She uses the latest technology and high-quality products that are both effective and gentle, ensuring my skin was never irritated. Over the course of a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in my dark spots and an overall improvement in my skin’s texture and tone. Beyond the visible results, Karina empowered me with valuable skincare advice to maintain and enhance my results between appointments. Her passion for skincare and dedication to her clients' well-being is evident in every session. If you're looking for an esthetician who truly understands how to care for melanin-rich skin and tackle stubborn issues like melasma, look no further than Skin Stories. My skin has never looked better, and I couldn't be more grateful!

Karina does amazing facials! I always come away looking younger and glowing. Definitely go to her for any acne issues or just to take care of your skin and fight aging

Had an amazing experience being a first time customer here. I was recommended by a friend, and Karina did not disappoint. She is extremely friendly and patient throughout the process. My facial lasted a lot longer than the expected time it was booked for. I got a hydration facial and deep cleaning. I would definitely recommend Karina for your skincare if you want to incorporate facials as part of your skincare routine. There’s only so much we can do at home on our own, so having periodic facials done by a professional is always needed.
