I just moved to San Francisco and just happened upon Utopia Salon doing an internet search(they are all over the place!) and after checking out their web site decided to schedule an appointment with a stylist named Kenny Berk,after having read his impressive bio(resume?) I was expecting a lot and He certainly delivered! I have never in all of my years received a better haircut! No wonder, he is a Redken educator and plat form artist (I learned that after he gave me several cards to give to all of my co-workers and friends) Kenny really took the time to listen to what exactly I was looking for(expecting) he asked me a whole series of questions, "how much time do I spend styling my hair?" "what products I use?" etc I have never had a stylist(cutter) spend so much time with me(during the consultation and the cut!) Best of all the cut is so wonderful I am able to style it on my own(at home!) when I think of all of the time/money wasted on other stylists in the past promising me a "great cut" and something I can "style on my own, at home" and was NEVER able to achieve the same, it just makes me angry, but not with Kenny! This is simply the best cut I have ever gotten! The salon is nice enough, people are friendly, the front desk person wasn't snooty and didn't look at me with that blank expression most receptionists give you in most "high-end salons" so all I can say is don't walk, but RUSH to see this extremely talented stylist! I paid a good amount for the haircut, but let's face it you can tell quality after 2 or 3 weeks(and my haircut was over 2 weeks ago and it is growing out great!) so it is WELL WORTH the $! the TRUE sign of a good cut(I take that back GREAT cut!) My appointment began on time, and Kenny shared with me the Redken products he used on me(so I can achieve the same look at home on my own!) I will definetly be back and hope he doesn't get too booked up(so I can selfishly see him anytime I please!)
Pros: KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, PROFESSIONAL
Cons: Can't think of one single "Con"!
