About

Anna founded Skin Utopia in 2002 and has worked as an esthetician for more than 25 years. The studio is open Monday through Saturday by appointment only, and the business describes its feel as fun and personable.

Facials and dermaplaning are planned around each client's body and skin type. Anna works to balance any skin conditions a client already has, and after treatment she gives simple, personal guidance for a home skincare routine. Treatments use Eminence Premium Organic Skin Care, which is also sold at the studio.

A teen acne treatment includes a home care consultation. The business says microdermabrasion can help reduce sun and age damage and soften the look of fine lines and acne scarring.

Dermaplaning uses a fine surgical blade to lift dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without lasers or chemicals, and the business says it can improve the look of fine lines, texture and radiance. LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths and is non-invasive with no downtime; red light is described as targeting collagen and elastin, and blue light as targeting acne-causing bacteria. The studio offers the Celluma device, which it describes as FDA approved and backed by clinical research. LED can be booked alone or combined with a facial, and sessions come in single, three, four or ten packages.

Waxing covers the face, brows, body and intimate areas. Waxing is not advised for clients using retinol products such as Retin-A or Renova, or Accutane, or for anyone sunburned or recently spray tanned. Before a Brazilian wax, hair should be at least a quarter inch long and clients should not shave for two to three weeks. First-time Brazilian clients receive guidance through the process. Tinting uses a temporary dye that lasts about two to three weeks, in a shade matched to natural hair color and skin tone.

Booking is made through the GlossGenius page, which also offers Buy Now, Pay Later for bookings from $50 to $4,000 that require approval before the appointment. Clients should arrive on time or text ahead with an estimated arrival time. Arriving 10 or more minutes late may mean the appointment cannot be taken or must be shortened. Rescheduling or cancelling needs 24 hours notice by text or online, otherwise a $30 fee applies. Gift certificates can be bought online for any amount or service.

Each facial and dermaplaning service is designed around the individual client's body and skin type.

The business describes the experience as fun and personable.
