"In order to keep giving others your all, you must first take care of all of yourself." - Marie Goldman Utopia Place by Jen Nonenmacher photography by Mindi Sokoloski A community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect traits —this is the definition of utopia and this is what you will find behind the doors of 270 Washington Street in Pembroke at Utopia Place. Operating in perfect harmony, there are four businesses united in this Garden of Eden for the mind, body and soul—Personal Best Hair Salon & Utopia Day Spa, Timeless Beauty, Heaven on Earth and Cranberry Vine Catering & Events. Originally the site of the first schoolhouse in Pembroke and a 250-year old barn, these two structures were joined together 30 years ago, right around the time that Marie Goldman, proprietor, started Personal Best Ltd, the first full-service day spa and salon on the South Shore. For over 30 years Marie and her staff have been committed to bringing the highest quality services to their clients at the most affordable prices. This commitment to quality and service has been rewarded by a booming business and Goldman has expanded the salon and spa and also joined forces with other like-minded businesswomen to form this complex of perfection, Utopia Place. Utopia PERSONAL BEST SALON & UTOPIA DAY SPA Owned by Tamra Fasolino and Marie Goldman, Timeless Beauty offers permanent makeup services that will enhance your own natural appearance, For those of you not in the know, permanent makeup is a revolutionary procedure that is a cosmetic form of tattooing—color is implanted within the skin—to define eyebrows, create eyeliners and more, giving the gift of beauty and freedom. Permanent makeup may fade slightly over time, but is so dependable that a touch up is only perhaps required every one or two years. This is a look that will withstand jogging, swimming, exercise, does not require application in the morning and is a perfect solution for active people. It can even look more natural that traditional makeup—without the daily hassle.
