Meet the team at Personal Best Salon & Utopia Day Spa
Lifetime native of Massachusetts, Marie has been in the salon industry her whole life. First as a stylist, then as a salon educator for Redken Labs traveling throughout the USA. Marie started the salon in 1982. The concept was an all inclusive, one location, for woman and men to enjoy hair, skin, nails, and spa services that at that time you could only go to a high end resort or hotel to achieve. Many services can be grouped together for the ultimate day of self care. Over the past 38 years the salon has grown from 800 sq. ft. to 12,000 sq. ft., which has what made Marie's concept for everyone to experience quality services one after the other a reality.
Marie feels that having a salon on the south shore has been an amazing journey and loves being a part of so many people’s lives and personal achievements. So many layers of human nature in all these connections.
