Facial Near Me — Find a Facialist & Book Online

Facials range from a quick barbershop express cleanse to a multi-step medical-grade skin transformation. Here's a guide to the most popular facial treatments available at facialists and skin care specialists on Booksy.

What is a facial?

A facial is a professional skin care treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the facial skin — improving its appearance, texture, and health. Most facials follow a multi-step protocol: cleansing, exfoliation (mechanical or chemical), extraction of congested pores, a targeted treatment mask, and a finishing moisturizer and SPF. The specific steps, products, and techniques used vary enormously depending on the type of facial, the provider's training, and the client's skin type and concerns. A professional facial delivers results that at-home skin care cannot — the combination of professional-grade products, specialized equipment, and a trained esthetician's hands produces a meaningfully different outcome.

Deep cleansing facial

The foundation facial — a thorough, step-by-step cleanse that removes surface impurities, exfoliates dead skin cells, steams and extracts congested pores, and finishes with a targeted mask and moisturizer. The deep cleanse is the most widely available facial at salons and spas on Booksy and is suitable for most skin types. It is the ideal starting point for clients who are new to professional facials — establishing a clean, healthy baseline for the skin before introducing more targeted treatments. A deep cleansing facial takes 45 to 75 minutes and is typically priced at $60 to $120.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a multi-step patented facial device treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in a single appointment using a vortex-powered handpiece. The device simultaneously loosens and removes congestion from the pores while infusing the skin with serums tailored to the client's specific concerns — antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, peptides, or brightening ingredients. HydraFacial is one of the most widely recognized premium facial treatments in the US — suitable for all skin types, with no redness or downtime, and immediately visible results. Available from HydraFacial-certified providers on Booksy — typically priced at $150 to $250 per session.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation technique where a trained esthetician uses a sterile surgical-grade blade at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape the surface of the skin — removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) simultaneously. The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin with a noticeably more even texture, and a flawless canvas for makeup application. Dermaplaning takes 30 to 45 minutes as a standalone service and is frequently combined with a chemical peel or hydrating mask for maximum effect. Suitable for most skin types — not recommended for active acne or very sensitive skin. One of the most popular single-service skin treatments on Booksy.

Chemical peel

A chemical peel applies an acid solution (AHA, BHA, TCA, or lactic acid) to the skin surface — dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells and accelerating cell turnover to reveal newer, brighter skin underneath. Light peels (superficial) use lower-concentration acids and require no downtime — the skin may be slightly pink for 24 hours. Medium peels penetrate more deeply and may cause 3 to 7 days of peeling and redness. Deep peels are medical-grade procedures performed by physicians. Most esthetician-administered peels on Booksy are light to medium — appropriate for hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne scarring, and dull skin. Always inform your provider of any recent retinoid use or skin sensitivity before a peel.

Dermaplaning and chemical peel

The most popular facial combination at skin care specialists on Booksy — dermaplaning followed by a chemical peel in a single appointment. The dermaplaning removes the superficial dead cell layer first, allowing the peel's acid solution to penetrate more evenly and effectively into the skin. The result of the combined treatment is significantly more dramatic than either service alone — dramatically smoother texture, brighter tone, and improved skin clarity. Takes 60 to 90 minutes and is priced at $120 to $200 at most estheticians on Booksy.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand or fine crystal spray to mechanically exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin — stimulating cell turnover and collagen production. It is effective for fine lines, superficial acne scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Less intensive than a chemical peel and with minimal downtime — mild redness for a few hours after the treatment. Available at medical spas and advanced esthetic studios on Booksy — typically priced at $100 to $175 per session.

Men's facial (barbershop facial)

Men's facials at barbershops on Booksy range from a quick express cleanse (15 to 30 minutes, $15 to $45) added to a haircut appointment, to a full "royal treatment" facial (40 to 60 minutes, $45 to $75) that covers cleansing, steaming, exfoliation, mask, and massage. The barbershop men's facial is designed for clients who want professional skin care without a dedicated spa appointment — delivered in the same chair as the haircut, as part of an efficient grooming session. A steam facial cleanse with a black or clay mask is the most commonly listed combination at barbershops on Booksy.

Korean skincare facial

K-beauty influenced facials incorporate multi-step Korean skincare methodology — layered essence, ampoule, and sheet mask application — with a focus on deep hydration, brightening, and barrier repair. Available at specialist esthetic studios on Booksy, typically priced at $99 to $140 per session. Popular for clients with dry, dehydrated, or sensitized skin who want a deeply restorative experience rather than an exfoliating or extraction-focused treatment.

Frequently asked questions about facials

What is a facial?

A facial is a professional multi-step skin care treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the face — improving skin texture, tone, clarity, and health. The steps vary by facial type and provider but typically include cleansing, exfoliation (mechanical or chemical), extraction, a targeted treatment or mask, and a finishing moisturizer. Professional facials use medical or professional-grade products and specialized equipment that deliver results beyond what at-home skin care can achieve.

What type of facial is best for me?

The right facial depends on your skin type, primary concerns, and tolerance for downtime. A deep cleansing facial is the best starting point for most first-timers and oily or congested skin. Dermaplaning is ideal for dull, textured skin and makeup wearers. Chemical peels address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring. HydraFacial suits all skin types with immediate results and no downtime. Korean facials are best for dry, dehydrated, or sensitized skin. A skin care consultation — available from most estheticians on Booksy — is the best way to get a personalized recommendation before committing to a treatment.

How much does a facial cost?

An express or barbershop facial costs $15 to $45. A deep cleansing facial runs $60 to $120. Dermaplaning is $75 to $130. Chemical peels cost $80 to $175. HydraFacials range from $150 to $250. Microneedling facials start at $150 to $300. Exact pricing is listed on every Booksy profile before you book.

How often should I get a facial?

Most estheticians recommend a professional facial every 4 to 6 weeks — roughly aligned with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle (approximately 28 days). Clients treating specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation may benefit from more frequent visits initially. For general maintenance and skin health, a facial once a month is the most widely recommended schedule. A consistent routine of professional facials compounds in its effect — skin that is professionally maintained monthly looks meaningfully different over a year than skin treated only occasionally.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation technique where a trained esthetician uses a sterile surgical blade to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz). The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin with noticeably improved texture. It creates an ideal canvas for makeup application and allows subsequent skin care products to penetrate more effectively. Suitable for most skin types — avoid if you have active acne or very reactive skin.
