My first time at Utopia and was greeted with a warm friendly welcome. They're all very pleasant.
Sadie styled my hair and she did a wonderful job straightening it. I walked away with shiny glossy hair and a smile on my face.

Had a complete colour change and highlights with Sadie who worked her magic on my hair and I am absolutely delighted with the result and cant thank Sadie enough for going above and beyond and really working hard to give me what Id asked for. The salon has such a lovely atmosphere and all the staff are friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I am particularly impressed with the extra lengths that Clare (owner) has gone to to to make the salon more environmentally friendly, she is doing her bit to make the planet a bit greener!
