I've been feeling like my skin was a bit dull and clogged lately, so I decided to give Heyday a…read moreshot since it's close by and I saw a great first-timer promo ($30 off + a free signature enhancement). The front desk staff and my esthetician were super friendly and helpful. The facial itself felt nice, and I enjoyed the shoulder massage. My esthetician gave some solid skincare tips, though nothing I hadn't really heard before. They also offer blankets in the treatment rooms, which makes the basic setup feels a bit cozier. I was disappointed with the minimal extractions - which was the main reason I went. I still see more clogged pores after the facial. I got the red light therapy for my enhancement. I assumed they would add a little time to the session, but everything was still wrapped up within the 50-minute window. It definitely made me wonder if another part of the facial was cut short (maybe extractions) to fit the light therapy in. Without the promo, this service would have been around $200 with the enhancement. For that price point, I'd probably pay a little more and head elsewhere to get a more "spa-like" experience and more thorough extractions.

I was really excited to try Heyday in Alexandria after hearing about their $99 facials and the…read morebrand's focus on quality. Overall, it was a mixed experience. * My esthetician was fantastic--very knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to explain the products she was using. She seemed fairly new to the industry and although offered me some good advice - it was nothing revolutionary. The facial itself felt good and left my skin feeling refreshed but nothing special * First Impression: The experience started off flat. The receptionist offered little to no enthusiasm when I checked in. It felt very transactional, which is a letdown when you're paying for a wellness/self-care service. * The Room: The main entrance is bright and trendy, but the treatment room felt super basic and didn't match that vibe at all. It was small, sterile, and lacked the cozy, relaxing atmosphere I expected for a $100+ facial. Overall, it was just dark... The Facial: the treatment itself felt very basic for the price point--a good cleanse, mask, and massage, but nothing especially luxurious or advanced that justifies the premium cost compared to other places like HiSkin. Verdict: If you're looking for a full "spa day" experience with great ambiance and warm customer service, your skin might be clean but you might be disappointed.

I would recommend getting there at least 5 minutes before your appointment as there wasn't a front desk member. I did my first facial with Tsegi and have to say she did AMAZINGLY. I got a microdermabrasion, extractions, and an aloe mask. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience--from the heated mat, to the blanket, to Tsegi's great bedside manner. My face looked so good that I lie to you not, someone commented on my skin as I was watching to my car. I forgot to ask if they validate for parking, but having to pay for parking is the only reason why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars.

Today, I arrived on time for my appointment to find the studio closed and locked. I had to call to learn that my service provider was not working. It is a challenge to navigate traffic and parking in the area, so I was frustrated that I wasn't informed about the cancellation prior to my arrival. I was given a discount on the service and given the option to reschedule, but that was not a feasible option for me. In the service industry, proactive communication is important to me to demonstrate respect of people's time.

I've been patronizing Karina for facial services for several years, which has greatly benefitted my skin's complexion and overall health.

In addition to customizing facial services for men and women, Karina will also provide guidance as to how care for your skin.

After a crazy week of work, I decided to play hookie on Friday and take a me day. I arrived on time and lucked up with 2 hr street parking on Madison. This spa is located in Old Town Alexandria so parking can be tricky. Anyhoo it's in the same building as One Life Fitness. Very easy to find. Not too many amenities to enjoy before being serviced and a very small restroom/changing area. Literally 1 toilet and 2 showers. The entire spa was really small. I felt bad like I was cheating on my regular masseuse. LOL but this was a gift! So I guess I can make an exception ;) My service was with Suzy. I opted for the 50 min hot stone massage and I did inform Suzy that I wanted a full body reset and gave her the green light to really apply pressure and dig deep into my massage. Deep tissue, full body massage!!! Susy was a little too gentle with me lol my massage felt more like a body rub with hot stones. Anyhoo! Very sweet place- just not for me. Happy Yelping!
