Editorial Review for Utopia Salon - CLOSED – by Lorraine Sanders
In Short
After climbing the carpeted stairs to the second floor location, patrons step into a spacious, bright salon whose blond wooden floors glisten underneath track lights while abstract paintings adorn its butter creme-colored walls. Among the 10-plus stylists, there are specialists in highlights, corrective color, thermal reconditioning, permanents and relaxers, as well as cuts from the edgy to the classic. One nail technician offers a full range of manicure and pedicure services.

Three weeks ago Utopia Salon closed it's doors for business after 9 years! As the former owner of the salon, I am saddened about this, but also excited about the future, for not only myself, but for all of the former sytlists and colorists that worked at my salon who all moved onto new salons! I want to thank each and every one of them for making our salon the salon that it was. Every day we took great pleasure and care in living up to our name (Utopia) that it would be the type of atmosphere that not only clients would find inviting and welcoming, but also for all of the people that worked at Utopia Salon. I will miss you all! Lastly, but certainly not least...THANK you to all of our wonderful clients (many of whom have decided to follow their stylists/colorists) to their new surroundings. I myself have relocated my business at a salon called Level 4 salon, under the name Lendoesmyhair Again thank you everyone you all truly made Utopia, Utopia! .....................Len handeland (former owner of Utopia Salon)
Pros: San Francisco's finest stylists worked here and made it truly Utopia!
Cons: Nothing,Nada! NICHTS! nothing!

I went onto CitySearch to check out a few salons and happened upon Utopia's listing. After reading positive review after positive review, I scheduled an appointment conveniently on line with the owner and stylist Len. I was really impressed how Len took the time to have an in depth consultation with me, not the typical being told from the stylist what the client needed to do, and not being given a choice! He worked with me and said "it's your hair and you should be comfortable with the style and color(not to mention be in love with it!) Well, I have NEVER been in love with my hair until I saw Len! He gave me the cutest cut(lots of layers and movement!) and the highlight he gave me, Wow! I have received so many compliments already! He used three different colors (2 blonde shades and one darker color) which he said would create a lot of depth! It has! I love the salon as well, the only sad thing is, he told me he was CLOSING his salon after 9 years! But he assured me that he would work somewhere else (in Union Square) so at least he isn't moving away just as I located a GREAT stylist! I can't wait to see him again in his new salon(wherever that might be!) but I would let this guy do my hair in a garage! That's how good he is! Go see this guy in his own salon before he closes it! You will be in love with his magic just as I am! THANKS LEN! I look forward to a long and lasting relationship!
