I've been feeling like my skin was a bit dull and clogged lately, so I decided to give Heyday a shot 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. read more

I was really excited to try Heyday in Alexandria after hearing about their $99 facials and the brand'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. read more

Really enjoyed my facial with Natalie. The space is calm, welcoming, clean and tidy, which I appreciate. The private room was cozy, with my own blanket. Natalie created a custom facial based on my unique needs. I felt confident in her treatment and recommendations. The pricing and membership options provide a great value. I look forward to my next facial here! read more

The store was calm, relaxing and aromatic. Front desk staff was professional especially Khia who recommend my esthetician Nicole when I walked in a week prior. Nicole was so knowledgeable, gentle and nice. I joined Hey Day Skincare based on my overall experience and what I learned during my session. read more

This was my first facial and Daniela made it super special. She was kind, helpful, patient and she walked me through everything that she was doing on my face. This facial was a massage on my face in a very relaxing and comfortable environment. My service was so amazing that I bought the same products to use on my face at home. #EnjoyYourFacial There's parking in the street only in Old Town. read more

Heyday is dedicated to facials, it is super easy to book an appointment and the check in process is easy. Treatment areas are curtained off and you sit in a reclining chair. The aesthetician will assess your skin, recommend a treatment and suggest any enhancements to add on to the treatment. I didn't feel any pressure to add on the enhancements suggested. The facial was well worth it, I left with glowing skin. There is a monthly membership plan, $114 a month, for one facial a month and 50% off any enhancement. read more

Don't waste your time or money going here. For paying $200($80 for an add on), this is less than luxury. No quietness or private room. The service was below the standard of any other facial I have received. For the microdermabrasion add on There was no difference in my skin when I left. Extremely disappointed. read more

I took advantage of the store opening $65 facial promotion for an hour facial. Maybe the best facial I've had. My esthetician was Kelly and she was fantastic. I saw someone else's review said they felt harassed by the upsale pitch, but I didn't think it was problematic. I was asked if it'd like a particular add-on, but when I declined that was it. No additional commentary or anything like harassment. I liked all the feedback and info on my skin's condition and the products' use and purpose. I ended up buying two of the products because they smelled great and felt great on my skin. I left with clean-looking, brighter skin, and booked my next visit before I left. read more

It's fine. Kind of like a facial in a box. If you're going regularly, then the price might make sense but if you go every 6 months, spend a little extra and go to an actual spa. The quality and ambiance just don't hit the mark for me read more

I love Heyday. I have a monthly membership with them and each month look forward to my visit. I love the half off enhancements and the thoughtful product recommendations from the staff. Each visit I can know I'm going to have a relaxing and enjoyable facial. They have a great location right on King St in Alexandria. read more

I've been getting regular facials at a bougie place in Georgetown for years. When my facialist moved recently, I started looking around for a new place. S friend of mine (who has impeccable skin) mentioned that she is a member at HeyDay so I decided to check them out with the first-timer price (99$). My esti Blake was wonderful - obviously knowledgable and passionate about her craft. She had a great bedside manner and was fun to chat with. She made sure I was comfortable and checked in at every stage of the facial. For the facial itself - my skin was RED, increasingly red, the night of the facial and I was so worried that I was having a reaction. The next morning I woke up and I was GLOWING - redness had disappeared. I think it was from the blue light they use on new customers? Whatever it was - my skin looks best it has in a long time. All in all I don't think I'll be back at HeyDay because even though my esti was great, I prefer a more spa-like atmosphere for my facials. If it was a more accessible price point, it would be easier to justify the curtained off rooms and 45 minute timing. The regular price at 145$ is too similar to the nicer spa places I am used to. The membership is cheaper, but every add on makes it cost basically the same as a full one-hour+ facial that includes guasha, etc, elsewhere. I think if their price point was a bit lower, it would justify the maintenance facial vibes and "facials for all" marketing. The staff was great though - props to them. read more

Last month I signed up for a membership after getting a wonderful facial at the new Alexandria location. I loved the esthetician i had and wanted to book with her monthly. Today, I had an appointment at 11:20 and I couldn't wait to go. I got a babysitter, drove 15 mins to Old Town, and spent 15 mins searching for parking as King Street is extremely busy, especially during the holidays. After paying $10 in a parking garage, I rushed in to the Heyday at 11:32 and was told sorry, I'd need to reschedule since there's a 10 min grace period and I was 2 mins beyond that. I asked if I could shorten my facial since it would be difficult for me to reschedule. I was told absolutely not. I am so disappointed in this zero tolerance policy with no flexibility or courtesy in trying to make it work. I asked for my membership to be canceled, as I am so frustrated after today's experience that I won't be back. I completely understand the need for timely appointments, but I was willing to pay the same amount for a shorter facial. I signed up for a membership and would've been a consistent monthly customer, but am so upset with having spent my whole morning trying to get to my appointment just to be turned away. At a location with extremely limited public parking, this feels like an especially harsh policy. read more

If you want your skin to glow , you must visit Heyday! I've only been to their Alexandria location and love my experience each time. From the second you walk in, the staff makes you feel so welcomed. They have so many cool enhancements like the Gua sha and red light therapy that I enjoy. Def a must visit! read more

Pros: convenience of scheduling, availability of appointments, knowledge of aesthetician, price point Cons: not a full-on spa experience (if that's what you want), online scheduling doesn't work sometimes (but you can just call), my aesthetician left :( I've recommended to friends as an efficient way to take care of yourself, especially if you don't want to spend $250-300/facial like I was at Bliss spa at the W. The environment is small but clean and appealing. There's lots of product options and I've been happy with the ones I've bought that my aesthetician recommended. (Anywhere you get a facial, you have to get comfortable saying no to recommended products if you don't need them. The upsell hasn't been heavy handed in my opinion.) The effectiveness of products and recommendations from aesthetician has been on par with higher end spas, from what I've experienced. I've added on peels every time the aesthetician suggested it. The aesthetician was able to accommodate other topicals I was applying and suggest the right level of peel. My skin has been problematic (blackheads, whiteheads) but with the suggested products, extractions, and the peels, it's getting clearer. Fingers crossed my new aesthetician in the next appointment will be just as great as Victoria was! read more

I had my first appointment at Heyday today and absolutely loved it! The front desk staff was super welcoming and helpful answering all my question in relation to the monthly membership! Kelly was amazing doing my facial. She helped me better understand my skin and what I can do to make improvements. I appreciate how she explained every product she was using on my face and why. She also recommended products I could add to my routine but wasn't pushy about forcing me to purchase them afterwards. I can't wait to come back for my next appointment and try some of the add-ons treatments! read more

Where to even begin!? My husband discovered HeyDay and purchased 2 facials for us at the newly opened Alexandria, VA location. To say the experience was fantastic is an understatement! First, the HeyDay facial experience was outstanding! The location is beautiful, clean, and the products my esthetician used were targeted for my specific skin needs. Our estheticians, Jacqueline and Kelly, were both very knowledgeable, patient, and provided outstanding product recommendations. We have already booked again and will be joining as members! Beyond the facial experience, the customer service was truly remarkable. Jenna Hill, the store manager, is truly lovely! Jenna has amazing product knowledge and provided us with very helpful insight into the brands HeyDay carries, individual products that can address our needs, and answered all of our questions about membership, enhancements and more! We have already referred 3 of our friends to this location and we have no doubt they will be WOWd by the experience! HeyDay's business model is different from the traditional spa experience. While we appreciate a full-day spa experience, HeyDay makes it easy for busy professionals/people to feel rejuvenated and relaxed with customized facials that can be scheduled at times that are convenient for their schedules. We can't wait to go back! read more

I came here for my first appointment yesterday. Heyday was absolutely fantastic. I did a 50-minute facial with Ashley, but skipped the exfoliation (I was getting eyebrows and makeup done afterward). Ashley was very knowledgable about skincare and walked me through each of the steps she was doing. Afterwards, my skin was glowing and prime. Heyday was very open-minded and welcoming and their communication was top-notch. Highly-recommend if you're interested in a spa which caters to a diverse, non-binary group in Alexandria. read more

My experience could've gone better ! The layout wasn't my vibe , there were curtains sectioning off others , However, I could hear the lady next to me the entire time telling her life story , staff speaking loud in the hall . I was expecting a relaxing facial and couldn't enjoy the experience. I booked a first time facial and added a chemical peel , during my facial the esthetician stated I couldn't get the peel because it was my first time,which was upsetting and the point of my visit. Felt extremely rushed ! When I checked out the esthetician recommended a product , however it was a grapefruit scent and I asked the cashier if there were other scents because I dont like grapefruit, the girl didnt provide any alternatives and didn't try to sell me on any other products. Overpriced and the vibe was not relaxing . read more

I've always had a great experience at the Alexandria location and have been patronizing since its opening in Old Town. Please note HeyDay is not a spa - it is a place for one hour facials and you can shop for beauty products and tools. Easy to make appointments and I'm always greeted and checked in promptly. The facials are conducted in semi-private rooms (the rooms are separated by walls and curtains) and you are able to hear the music playing throughout the store (usually soft music). Honestly I fall asleep during my facials because the atmosphere is very peaceful. I receive monthly facials with Ivana who is phenomenal and makes great product recommendations. My skincare has positively been impacted by her guidance I never feel pressured to purchase anything or that she is upselling. I like the small/quaint store. They do adhere to the 10-15 min grace period but will easily accommodate a rescheduling request by telephone or text message. There is paid street parking nearby. read more

For the price point, I would have expected better. You can definitely have a better quality experience at Hand and Stone for nearly half the price. I say that respectfully. I think it may be good for a teenager. I would spend extra to go to spa. read more

It was OK at best. I received a gift certificate for a first facial from a friend. My usual spot is the Sugar House but I figured I would give it a try. While in the chair I was up sold $80 for a enhancement that is similar to a hydra facial. It's awkward to be recommended a treatment and put on the spot for it. The "hydra pen" was very weak. I'm used to getting my entire face, neck, and décolleté done in a hydra facial for a similar charge (if you put my friends gift card, 80 bucks and the tip I left). There were no extractions or steamer put on my face which i thought was a standard to any facial I have gotten in the past. The chair and rooms felt more like a dentist office. The esthetician was nice but I do not like the model of selling memberships, up-sales, and selling products. In this situation , I don't blame the esthetician but the business model. read more

I spoke with the store manager about my experience and she assured my pregnancy shouldn't have decreased the services provided and handled the situation very well. Pleased with her customer service. read more

I signed up for the $65 new client facial and it was so great! Kelly was amazing and walked me through all of the products she used and, more importantly, WHY she used them. Learned a lot about my skin and skincare in general. Face feels great and definitely feel like she listened to my concerns and addressed them. Definitely recommend. read more

I had a great relaxing facial today. Knowing it was my first time, Mackenzie made me feel comfortable, walked me through everything she was doing, and gave me recommendations on skin care products that would work best for me. Although it was pricey, I definitely recommend seeing her if you are looking to get a facial in Old Town. It was worth it and I look forward to going back in the future. read more

Went here on opening day and the service was good. I had a nice facial but the technician was trying to up-sell me on services and then products at the end. I was hoping to relax a bit more so J found that annoying. The place felt like it was trying too hard to be fancy. The treatment rooms also are not rooms, they're basically temporary set-ups divided by curtains on tension rods. read more

Meh! Relaxing facial rooms, not! I had bright lights from the hallway shining in my face during my facial. An $80 upsell included waiting while the aesthetician left the room to bring in a machine while I waited for her to plug in it to discover it wasn't working, to leave the room again and bring in another machine. How does this lead to a relaxing facial?! Was I offered a discount for waiting? No! Why doesn't each space have the equipment needed? For $80 I received one go around with the machine and was told that was it. I've had many hydro facials and the aesthetician has always run the device over my face 2-3 times. What a scam! Too pushy with the membership. $65 only gets you in the door, don't buy it! read more

This isn't a spa, it's a barn where people give mediocre facials. There aren't private treatment rooms, just stalls that are only slightly bigger than your average public restroom and with about as much privacy. The piped in crossover country music lent to the farm like atmosphere. The aesthetician was fine but underwhelming. Blah. read more

first time customer for a 50 minute facial. my skin therapist was Kellie, who immediately made me feel at home and explained to me what the process would be. Kellie was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive through the different steps, and encouraging about skin care without being pushy. she explained every choice of product she was using, and talked me through things to keep me comfortable. will plan to go back again, definitely ask for Kellie. read more

Highly recommend a facial at Heydey! Nicole is awesome. She is kind and does a great job through the whole process. I joined the monthly membership which gives you 50% off of enhancements, so I got the micro current which was really cool. My face looks amazing. Glowing and lifted and fresh. Can't wait to go back next month. read more

I wanted for Mother's Day a facial so asked my husband to take care of the baby while I was taking care of myself. I heard about this place all over social media so I wanted to try it. My husband made a reservation for a facial at 2 pm. The place is located on King street, anyone knows that kings street is a busy street and some times finding parking space is not easy. I arrived to the location at 1:55 pm, but it took me about 17 min to find a space. Finally I found a spot but far away so I have to do a 4 min walk. I arrived to the store at 2:17 pm. I explained why I was late and the front desk lady said she will ask the person who was going to do my facial if she could still take me. Well she said no but they had an opening at 3 pm I said, I could not come back because first the only parking space I got was for 2 hours and then I needed to be back at home. I am sad that for Mother's Day I was not able to relax and have a "me time" because 7 min late of not finding a parking garage. Just disappointed that such a new place is not flexible to the client that way. Even in Mother's Day! Sorry Heyday, but not trying a place that is not able to accommodate such a simple requirement. read more
