Madison Reed

What is the best part of working at the company?
I’d say just the work experience in the field. The modules were the main learning tools to develop knowledge about the products.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Overworked and under paid. I was off for 11 days straight then once I mentioned it they had me working 6 out of 7 days no off days nor holiday’s. Didn’t live up to their standard code of ethics and it was a lot of discrimination, retaliation, unethical acts of chemistry. Chance for advancement was beyond reason. It felt more like a nice nasty experience to me but that’s just a personal experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Sorority vibes is what I gathered. Most of the customers were nice and some employees yet hard to deal with the idea of having to compete with colleagues when the atmosphere was supposed to be learning and coaching.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was supposed to be a position as a color artist assistant for six months then advancement to master color artist. They honestly have you as shampoo girl and make it very difficult to learn hands on experience and coaching was a hit or miss they all stated different methods making me feel unaware of the correct technique.

I love working for the company.  However, they hire people with no experience in management and barely there to help.  Explode the one with most experience. They don't increase your hourly pay no matter how much of experience you have.  They overwork you if you do.  And the one that mess up people hair,  they just brush it away. No matter how many emails you sent,  there's no solution for any problem.  You get hire as a colorist,  but makes you be an assistant colorist with lower pay in tip. They don't care to hire assistant because they are comfortable switching us as assistant position.  They don't care about our need to grow.  They just want us to fill position that we didn't get hired for.  But when we want to strive for a higher position,  there's always an excuse.  But when they have a problem then they want you to fix it.  

Benefits and pay was great, but not worth the literal heart attack.. Not sure how the Dfw salons are now, but I was hired as AGM, 3 weeks later with little to no training on how the company works and was thrown into the GM position with no choice and no pay increase.. Area manager would go in and double book clients every 15min knowing we were short handed and I was expected to “deal with it” .. I ended up having a mild heart attack from the stress of the shady /backhanded workings  of upper management.. This company could do so much better!  I love the product/brand.. but not worth the health issues..

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting to catch up with my beloved clients lives and vica versa 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management was not professional at all and in fact were rather rude 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very much a micro managed and rigged environment

The general manger of the Preston location is and always will be amazing. Unfortunately some of the shift leads do not have your best interests in mind. Some are rude and will speak bad about you or they will make remarks about you to other people. Overall other team members were amazing but again some shift leads are not so great to work with. 

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! 

Definitely a regret!! Corporate chiefs are all about self and not what’s best for company! Company values are not displayed by higher ups…Integrity is a major concern as well as the CEO NOT BEING TUNED IN TO HER BUSINESS OR HER PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE BUSINESS A SUCCESS! EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION IS NON EXISTENT!!!

Great place to learn. Not a great place to feel better about yourself and growth. 
consistent education is great, there is still not a way to practive the new information before rolling out to your subordinates. 

Hr overreaches, micromanaging is the way they produce any results. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
