Pros

Madison Reed is a great company to work for there aren’t many hair salons where I can get health insurance! My team is great and I love coming to work! It’s a new concept that Madison reed has implemented and the clients really like it and so do we. It’s transparent and just automatically creates an air of trust around each service provided!

Cons

Explaining to clients the expectations of not being in a full service salon
