jim absolutely ruined my hair. i asked for a thick bottom layer and a couple piecey layers on top. i left with one extremely thick second layer and my bottom layer looked like a tiny little rat tail. i also asked for only 2 inches off and left with 4 inches off. i asked for a dark chocolate brown and he dyed my hair so black it was almost blue. then he had the nerve to charge me almost 200 bucks for destroying my hair. i had to go spend more money to get this fixed afterwards. the new stylist said, oh wow he must have hated you because he totally effed your hair up. it took him so long to try and fix it. i'm sick. DO NOT GO TO JIM FOR A CUT OR COLOR!!!!!!!!! read more

I have been going to David Leon the owner of Salon Utophia for many years. He is by far the best hair dresser Denver has to offer. I have referred many customers to David and they are still with him after years of service. The staff is wonderful and would recommend Salon Utophia and David to anyone needing a great hair stylist! read more

Absolutely love Salon Utopia! The stylists there are top notch. Atmosphere is spectacular and the conversation is always great. The owners are fantastic people, who are engaged in the community and support a variety of charities. read more

I was in dire need of a haircut and style. My previous cut was bad and did not grow out well. Plus, it had been a long time because of Covid. Sadly, I had a family funeral to attend and needed something to help me feel better. James worked me into his busy schedule and I got the best cut and color I have ever had. He was quick, competent, and confident. I feel like it took him minutes to understand who I am and what kind of cut would work for me. He listened to me and enhanced my ideas with his skills. I'm sold and plan on being a regular. read more

I cannot rate the actual services of this salon, because I could not get past the abysmal customer service I received over the phone and in person to get to the point where I could schedule an appointment. I called Salon Utopia to schedule a facial. I was told about a special they run on Thursdays - a basic facial for $45. The receptionist said this was a great deal because they usually cost $60. When I asked about using my promotional gift card and inquired about add ons to a facial, she stated that she needed to reference the menu for prices. She began the new conversation by stating that facials begin at $80 (not $60) and then listed off several add ons - it seemed strange that the base price increased once she knew a gift card was involved. When I asked what each add on entailed (time, details of service, and cost) she said she had no idea and asked if I would come in to pick up a menu of services so we could determine how much time to schedule. I stopped in a few hours later and was told that I talked to a different receptionist and there is no menu of services for facials. This new receptionist also let me know that all promotional gift cards and certificates EXCLUDE FACIALS, even though my card made no reference to this (neither does this Yelp offer, by the way). I was then told that they do not even honor the promotional card I have, which was purchased only 2 weeks ago. The receptionist kept finding ways of letting me know they do not want my business and do not want to honor their promotions. Once I finally told her I was done talking about it and was leaving, she responded with a very rude "whatever" accompanied by an eye roll. Between her surly attitude and her tacky appearance, I would have assumed I was in a low end part of town and not Cherry Creek. This salon needs to consider who they have greeting their potential customers. I have since contacted the third part vendor who sold me the promotion. They were extremely professional and verified that they do have a promotional agreement with Salon Utopia, and they are happy to refund my money. That refund has already been processed. This was obviously not the fault of the third party promoter, but of Salon Utopia. I would not recommend even attempting to use this salon unless you enjoy being treated poorly by a very poorly organized and poorly run salon! read more

Jim is a peach. He's a sweet, funny, and very friendly guy who takes a lot of pride in his work. He gives a really good man's haircut - and my hair is not easy. He knows what's in style right now, but he's excellent at tempering that with what makes you feel comfortable and your needs. Great stylist! read more

When I moved to Denver several years ago it took me a while to find a hair place that I loved. One Saturday, I stumbled across Salon Utopia after breakfast at Syrup. Shannon has been my hair stylist ever since. She's been accommodating, professional, and fun to talk to. Most importantly, I get compliments on my hair for many days after my hair appointments. I'm always happy with my color, cut, and blowout. Price is also quite reasonable. The staff throughout the salon are always friendly and welcoming. I look forward to every visit to Salon Utopia. read more

I've been a client of David Leon for over ten years and he still gets my hair right every time. My colors and cuts make me feel "Red Carpet Ready" Even my husband loves going there. It's a great location with ample free parking in the rear of the building. It's a great Cherry Creek salon with out all the "pretentious attitudes" of other hair salon owners. David is the most charitable, kind, sweet person. I feel very at home at Salon Utopia. Thank you for making me look good! Laurie N read more

I absolutely love this Salon. I have been to many salons, and tried many people. I finally found someone who does a great job on my hair. I have thin hair and David made it look like I had twice as much hair. Great job on the cut and color. Highly recommend! Central location, parking is easy, and staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

Jim is amazing! I have been going to Salon Utopia for years, and have never been unsatisfied. We would never go anywhere else. The service is unbelievable, and would never go any where else read more

I have been having Jim cut my hair for the last 7 years. He does a great job , it is perfect every time. The Salon is a great place to go to and they always fit me in. read more

James is fantastic! He did my hair for an event and my hair looked awesome. He was funny and incredibly talented. Loved, loved loved my experience at Salon Utopia. read more

I've been coming here for several years, and my hair and I have been well taken care of. James, who is one of the owners, has a very positive attitude and we have the greatest conversations. I would definitely recommend Salon Utopia. read more

I stumbled upon Salon Utopia last night because I was in the neighborhood, needed an emergency haircut and didn't have time to go to my regular spot. In my opinion, many barbers give the same haircut to all men, despite directions. I asked David to leave the front long and focus on the sides. He did not. In fact, I think I received the same haircut as the 10-year-old sitting in the seat before me. Even though It's not what I wanted, it's a good haircut, though my left sideburn is noticeably higher than the right. (At the end David put both his index fingers at the bottom of both sideburns. After noticing there was a big difference, he moved one and said, "good.") As I went to pay Nancy, the woman at the counter who sounded like she had been smoking since the age of 2, she told me the total was $45. Shocked, I said that was a lot for a men's hair cut. After all, David spent about 10 minutes doing the whole thing. Her answer, "this is Cherry Creek," referring to the neighborhood. Not an acceptable answer. Bottom line, the haircut is decent, but I could have gotten the same result via a rushed clipping at the SuperCuts down the street for a fraction of the price. read more

After scouring Denver for the past 12 years to find a salon that offers impeccable service and affordable prices, I finally landed on Salon Utopia! My stylist, Maddy, is amazing! I've never been able to articulate exactly what kind of cut/color I want but somehow she gets it and I leave 100 percent satisfied every time. I would highly recommend this salon and Maddy is the best, especially if you're looking to switch things up with a new color. read more

James and Roaya were fantastic when they did the hair of all the women in my wedding party. They were an absolute pleasure to be with on our special day, and worked quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, though, they made everyone look glamorous for the entire ceremony and reception. Thank you, James and Roaya, we love you! read more

Though I now live in California, I come to Denver frequently on business. I'm so happy and my hair is so happy to have more frequent visits with David. read more

Roaya is amazing! I walked in wanting something fun but subtle, and she fit me right in. She gave me copper and red peekaboo highlights that I just love! I will definitely go back for the touch-up. And at $60, it was so affordable! read more

Did not have a pleasant experience here. I called to schedule an ombre, but that was not communicated to my stylist, so there was not enough time to do an ombre. Instead I had to do a cut, which cost me a total of $40, and I left the salon with neither the color nor the cut I wanted. They offered to do it again at a later date, but of course I don't have time in my work schedule to permit that (I got time off just to go in). Disappointed by that, and my stylist was not engaging or fun to talk with. Will not go back, unfortunately. read more

Salon Utopia is great! The hair expertise is terrific (and I have difficult hair, so I know!), the atmosphere is fun and relaxing (why go anywhere else?), and the people are wonderful (good listeners, very kind, happy, and really good at what they do!) Thanks to David, and everyone at Salon Utopia. read more

My hair was way darker than i would've liked but after a lot of showers it's finally okay. I went in there with platinum blonde hair and dark brown roots wanting dirty blonde hair with low lights but i ended up getting brown hair with lowlights for the cost of $150. The appointment was only two days later and the people who work there are great and they offer you coffee, wine and coffee. I will be returning with the hopes that this doesn't happen again. read more

I've been Raisa's client for many years - always left very satisfied and happy with my hair style and color. I receive compliments for weeks from everyone around. Raisa is very easy to schedule with, despite being an established (and busy) stylist in the area, because she is flexible and aims to please. I like the salon's new location better - there's assigned parking in the garage downstairs, which is a big bonus when you visit a location in Cherry Creek. read more

Talk about false advertising! Salon Utopia's web site says they offer "everything from haircuts, color, massage, manicures and skin treatments to complete spa and hair packages." Well, surprise!! When you try to redeem a YELP gift certificate, you find they ONLY offer hair services. And they WON'T redeem your gift certificate either, despite claiming to have a sister salon AT THE SAME ADDRESS that offers additional services such as those claimed. So, if you're looking to surprise someone special with a day of head-to-toe pampering, which they claim they can do, look elsewhere. read more

The receptionist have no idea what is going on. Very rude and unprofessional. Bitchy is an understatement. I got my nails done and toes done and it was the worst experience I have ever had. Everything is rushed and half ass. My nails chipped 2 days after I got them done. The salon was also a very unclean and the women did not wash her tools, SICK. Never go here!plenty of better options in this area! read more

First time customer- salon cancels 30 minutes prior to apt- did not even receive an apology Scheduled an appointment with Natalia for July 2 at 1 pm- prior to booking she explained their cancellation policy of 50% of the scheduled services and made sure I understood it. I drove down to Salon Utopia for my scheduled appointment from Castle Rock and paid 80 dollars for a sitter for the afternoon for my baby. While parking my car at 12:27 pm- thirty minutes prior to my apt, I received a message from the Salon ( NO apology) advising me that "Natalia left at NOON on an emergency and had to cancel her afternoon apt. I could come back at 530 pm and have someone else do my hair in between cuts but I would have to wait an hour and a half or reschedule." I called the salon back explaining I had paid for daycare and that it was 4th of July weekend, I could not get care that late on a holiday so I could not do 530 pm or wait. I told the salon how I felt about last minute and requested Natalia call me. I totally understand emergencies but at such last minute the Salon should have offered to compensate me somewhat and offer me a discount on a reschedule with her. The salon personnel's tone was rather short during the conversation. Personally, I would have been fine if the salon cancelled two hours prior to save me from daycare fees, but 30 minutes is rather late- most people are driving by then and yes some of us have small kids who need sitters when they have services done. What is interesting is that I was told Natalia "left at noon" for an emergency, guess it was not that important since she posted publically to social media websites at 12:12.....

I needed a cut and color the following day. They were able to fit me in, they honored my Yelp coupon, my stylist, Jim, took his time and never made me feel as if he was rushed, and he did a very nice job and I had many compliments on my hair that evening. The salon feels friendly and comfortable and was easy to find. No problems parking even though it's in Cherry Creek. Jim was very personable and easy to be with. I was told it's the oldest salon in Cherry Creek North and many of the stylists have been there a long time, which I liked. Jim said he has worked there for 12 years, for instance. I would highly recommend Salon Utopia. read more

I used a groupon here and there is only one stylist who accepts them at this salon. She didn't know what she was doing and damaged my hair.

Called this place at last minute to get a blow out b/c I was in town from CA for work, the receptionist booked me within the hour with Maddy. Maddy did a great job, she was very nice, did a great job on my hair and gave me a glass of wine - awesome :) She also told to go to a great sushi place for dinner. I would recommend this salon - it was a nice experience. read more

Everyone at Salon Utopia is great and you will immediately become part of this family. Love this place!!!

I bought groupon deal and came here. Jim was great. He looked little bit surprised when I tipped though :p It was generally good experience. Thanks. read more

Shannon is AMAZING. I absolutely love my hair for the first time in a long time. I am the kind of person that has cried after many haircuts, but not this time! I will definitely be returning and I'm so thankful to find someone I trust with my precious locks. read more

I went to Maddy on Saturday and had my hair colored. I told her to do whatever she wanted and it looks so good. I wanted a big change since I have A LOT of hair and it is really long, I asked her to do something different so she did ombre. My hair is pretty curly and she did such a good job drying it straight. I would definitely recommend people go to her. read more

Went there for the first time, got a color and cut from Jim, was impressed with the haircut but very disappointed in the color. I wanted an ombre and walked out looking as if I didn't even get my hair colored. I don't believe his idea of an ombre would match what anyone going in actually thought they were going to get. Didn't get the chance to tell him how bad I hated it as he had a client waiting and I was rushed out. I will not being going back, this is the first time I've been this unhappy with a color EVER. I wasted my money and will now be going to another salon tomorrow to get my hair colored again. read more

Unfortunately I didn't have James or David cut my hair and that was a huge mistake. I have the most lopsided haircut I've ever had in my life. I asked for an A line cut from shoulder to collar bone. I got one side up to my chin straight across and the other side all chopped up about shoulder length. I've never cried from a bad hair cut until this one. So disappointed. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT THIS SALON. VERBALLY ATTACKED! VERBALLY ATTACKED BY James Mucker AND TRIED TO PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATE ME at the salon, November 25, when I requested my daughter's money back for a very poor haircut. My daughter, who is 16, went to James M to have her haircut. When she came home, she was very disappointed, as she had shown him a picture of what she wanted, and she said,"he glanced at the picture and then never looked again." I decided to ask my hairdresser there, Jim S, to recommend someone that would give a more refined cut. He suggested Ed. He was very good, and we were very pleased with the cut, although it was quite expensive. Her hair grew out very well, so I told her to return to James, as he was less expensive, and she only needed a trim. I warned her before she went to be very specific that she only wanted a trim. After the haricut, she text me and said,"I will never go to him again". I called her and she said that he had cut her hair so short, it was close to being shave. She was very upset. I came home to find that my daughter hair had been cut so close, there were bald areas, and he had slathered product on her hair to hold it down! He had also cut a ridge in her hair so that longer hair would fall over it, imitating volume. I asked her what happened, and she said that she had told him to only trim and again showed him a picture of the cut she was hoping to get. He again just dismissed it, and did whatever he wanted to. Then he charged her $75.00! The haircut was awful. It was not fixable, as he had cut it way too short! I facebooked him and told him that I couldn't believe that he could have again, made her hair such a mess, especially since he had a shape already from Eds cut. I told him that my expectation is that she get her money back, and that he took advantage of a teenager. He claimed that she "loved her haircut", and she just didn't know how to style it. Wrong! She didn't even tip him, and my daughter is very respectful and would not have said anything to offend him. I called the owner, David Leon, and told him what had happened and told him that I expected my daughter's money back and that she would not return to the salon. I told them both that I had pictures of my daughters hair, and I do not just complain for nothing. When I arrived, David Leon told me that he would go get James, and I told him that was not necessary, as I did not need to talk to him, I had already explained everything that I needed to. He went to James to find out the cost of the haircut, and when he returned, James was following him. The lady at the desk returned my daughter's money and James Mucker stood and stared at me, trying to intimidate me. After receiving the money, I looked at him, and told him that he shouldn't have taken advantage of her, and it was not a good haircut. He had a woman beside him, that had a cape on that he was doing her hair at the time. He then proceeded screaming at me,saying,"You Stupid M.......Fu.......ing bitch! Get out!" He then told me that the only reason that I didn't like it was because my daughters hair was short. That alone is rediculous, because she has had her hair short for 2 years, and I also have short hair. He then lunged at me in a manacing manner as if he was going to do physcial harm to me, still screaming at me to "get out"..The lady with the cape grabbed him to keep him from physically attacking me, as the owner tried to also. I went to leave the shop and he followed me outside, again, VERBALLY ATTACKING ME and the lady in the cape and David Leon, trying to hold him back from physically hurting me. I then told David Leon that I would make sure that everyone knows about this behavior. I then went to my car, understandably fearful, got in my car and locked all my doors, due to the violent behavior of James Mucker. I am so grateful that my daughter did not voice her opinion of the haircut, or what would have happened to her, a child? I should have called the police on this man, and am considering taking out a restraining order on him, David Leon should be ashamed at the way that his hairdresser behaved, and should have taken steps to keep me as a patron, such as an apology, it seems that his concern is the money that James Mucker brings into the salon, rather then the safety and concern for the clientele. My hairdresser, Jim, is absolutely wonderful in his talent and demeanor. and I am sorry that this incident prevents me from going back to him. read more
