I was in Ridgecrest for a few days, and had really neglected my self-care for several months. So I called and got a pedicure, hair color, and facial on successive days. Everybody was so lovely and friendly, from Vicky who took my call to Shanell (nails), Liz (hair) and Sandi (facials)! I especially needed to do something with my hair...wanted to transition from blonde to darker and let the silver in my hair grow out in a natural-looking way. Liz understood completely, and did such a careful job. I am so pleased! Thanks, ladies. Wish you all lived in my hometown, so I could be a regular . read more

First time here , just moved to the area ! I called in and my appointment was set with Lauren !!! She is Amaaaazing !!! She made me feel like I've known her my whole life. I will be booking again soon! FYI best Blowout Everrrr!!! read more

I am very disappointed with the hair cut I got. I was pleased the very first time Be*** cut my hair, but the second time she didnt do so well. I have a lot of hair and she said she specialized in cutting layers so I put my trust in her. I was unhappy with it and asked if I could come back in so she could even it up. I got in but she seemed real impatient with me and disagreed with me about it being uneven regardless of me being unhappy with it. I gave her a tip anyway and left. read more

My hair is really long and thick, and Liz does an excellent job of asking the appropriate questions about what I want. She leaves me with my hair healthy and shiny. She's extremely courteous and welcoming, which makes it enjoyable as well. 10/10 would recommend her and this salon. read more

This place is the best!!! Teresa is one amazing nail artist!!! Since moving to ridgecrest it was hard to find a good nail technician and a good hair stylist, lucky me I've found them both here. Casey is a great hair stylist too. I definitely recommend this place for all your hair and nail needs read more

Madison Avenue Salon - Becca is the ABSOLUTE best!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

I have been going to Madison Avenue for 24 years and my experience has always been excellent. The salon is always amazingly clean and for a clean freak that's important. The ladies are alway friendly and helpful. Penney Kelley has been my stylist and she is amazing and her prices are great. I will always go there. read more

I'm giving one star for a good haircut. My sister went in and received two services; hair bleach and nails. She was newly 18 and I decided she would be left in good hands for her dye and cut. I left to work expecting nothing less. I left her a Starbucks drink and some cinnamon rolls. The RECEPTIONIST that was on duty the day of February 4th, 2022 at 9 am was so unprofessional. My sister said that receptionist kept passing by and picking off her cinnamon rolls. The receptionist would smirk at Becca, the hairstylist. Becca would just giggle and didn't say a thing. I thought that it was strange when I picked my sister up at 4:30 pm she hadn't finished her snack. She said she had lost her appetite. I would too if a stranger stuck her fingers in my food unsolicited! So the reason I'm posting this TODAY and not in February is because I suggested that my sister and I get our nails done, to which she replied "not at that salon with Becca because that girl ate my food". This was A week ago today that I found out about the unprofessionalism at that salon. I asked for a call back when the women were in on Tuesday, it is now Friday and I haven't heard from a single person at Madison Ave Salon. I expected to leave my sister in good hands but was left disappointed when not even her own stylist could stand up for her. A bad review over cinnamon rolls May be meager to some, but somebody sticking their fingers in my food, especially without asking first is disrespectful. This made me feel that Becca, the receptionist, and the others who work at that salon saw my sister as a lesser human being that didn't deserve the common decency of asking her permission. I hope that Madison Ave Salon values it's guests more than this, but I couldn't even get a call back, so I doubt it. read more

I get my son's haircut here and both times it turned out really well. The stylists are great with my little one.

Really nice people, Amanda is so helpful with my problem hair and I'm getting compliments on my new style. I especially appreciate the suggestions on products that can be found at other places and not a "hard sell". Also, the facility is spotless, and everyone is friendly. read more

I have been going here for years and realized I've never left a review! Penney has been doing my haircuts, color, highlights and extensions and does a fabulous job. Kayli has filled in for her w/my extensions too and she is skilled on top of being pleasant and outgoing. Last but not least, Fawn did my eyelash extensions for about a year (until my allergies went crazy), and she was completely amazing. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it! read more

I made an appointment 1week ahead. Got a confirmation same day and a reminder twice before the said appointment. But when i came in 5mins before my scheduled appointment, the lady told me that i have to wait 30mins more and go somewhere else. Not the first time they did that. I understand the situation right now because of the COVID but i wish if they set up appointment they have to stick with it since us costumer can't stay inside their store and wait out in the heat. read more

Rachel was incredible, after two years of abusing and neglecting my hair, she gave it new life and I feel like a new person!! She did it exactly how I wanted and my hair is brand new, silky smooth, and MANAGEABLE!! Cant wait to go back to her for maybe a skincare treatment or my next haircut read more

I love this salon. I just moved here a few weeks ago I get my nails done and waxing done religiously Nikki does my nails and she is fantastic always very excited to do different things with my nails she doesn't make me feel like a burden if I change my mind or want to try something a little different she is wonderful and Diedra does my waxing Im also about to need my hair done and I'm going to make my appointment with her. I really like the salon is looks gorgeous it's clean the girls are friendly they aren't stuck up. I was going to make the three hour trip to LA to get my eye lashes done but I'm going to do it at this salon. The girls are all super sweet and super helpful. Nikki takes her time with my nails and doesn't rush them so I feel like I need to get out of her chair and Diedra is the same way very gentle with waxing and doesn't make me feel rushed. Really really great salon. read more

Had Charity last friday for an updo.... AMAZING. She was very professional yet very personal and, most importantly, did a fantastic job on my hair!!!! I'm going back next week so she can shape my hair. Very excited to see what she does.... read more

This place is always clean and fancy. Angie does an excellent job at cutting hair and doing acrylic nails. I only got my nails done for a wedding but after seeing her work I have been coming back to her ever since (almost a year now). If you don't know what you want she will help you decide. She knows the latest trends. I ALWAYS get compliments on my nails because of her. Thanks Angie :) read more

So I can't really say much about their hair styling, but all I can say is DO NOT GET WAXED HERE!! Ive been getting waxed for a couple years now and this was by far the worst experience ever!!! I could tell the girl was not very experienced at all and hurt me pretty bad but I kept my mouth shut and took the pain. I'm pretty sure she knew I was upset and I could see that she was uncomfortable with waxing female body parts. LOL. Oh well, I took the pain and the afterwards mess she left me and reminded myself that I will never come back here again. It's unfortunate because I'm new to the area and relied on Yelp to guide me to a great salon... I'm kinda scared now to risk my hair getting done here now. Al I can say is that the girls are nice but need waaaaay more experience. read more

I have issues with Madison Avenue calling themselves a "Day Spa." It most certainly is not. I had a gift certificate for a facial. I called to make an appointment, only to learn (after serious third degree questioning) that the person doing the facials really doesn't come in very often. Case in point - she wouldn't be back into the spa for the next 2 months! Then I was informed that if I had a gift certificate for a facial, I couldn't roll it over to a massage. This was a birthday gift and I really didn't want to wait until 2 months after my birthday. Luckily the gift certificate was "generic" but I still felt that the "day spa" aspect of the salon is misleading and more of an afterthought. read more

So incredibly grateful to Kayli for cutting and dying my hair EXACTLY the way I asked for. She provided her full attention and effort to my requests (which didn't even sound exactly clear to me!) and used her incredible skill and talent to magically turn what I described into a reality. My haircut and color were a mess and Kayli completely fixed it. I absolutely love and am excited about the results. I could not be happier and cannot say enough about how awesome and talented Kayli is! She really made me feel cared for and is also so sweet! So excited for all the possibilities! Yay Kayli! Thank you! Highly recommend!! read more

Madison Avenue Salon - Hair by Kayli - Hair Salons Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

This place is great, greeted with a smile and it's so clean and pretty inside, so it's relaxing and comfortable to get your hair done. I recommend Lola/ maria, she's amazing with cut and color. I always leave satisfied and feeling fabulous. :) But bring cash because the place doesn't accept plastic. Wait some beauticians accept plastic some don't read more

I come here for my hair and nails. Kayli is possibly the most patient person who has ever laid hands on my hair, and Angie makes the mani/pedi process a lot of fun. I've never felt unwelcome or had problems making an appointment. read more

Diedra is amazing. I always make appointments with her to do my hair, she does exactly what I ask she's super funny and laid back. I have been seen by two others over the years and they were equally great so you can't go wrong with a stylist. I refuse to ho anywhere else. The shop is clean friendly day and all together an uplifting environment. read more

I moved to Ridgecrest about a year ago and was hesitant to find a new hairstylist. I tried Heatwave salon shortly after I arrived, but hated the haircut I got. I was worried I would have to go to LA for a good haircut but figured I'd give Madison Avenue salon a try first. I could not be happier with the experience!! It was very easy to get an appointment quickly. I absolutely love my haircut from Kayli! She is a fantastic stylist, I'm so glad I've found my new go-to salon! They do take credit cards and have very reasonable prices. read more

I just went about a week ago trying them out for a hair appointment. And Brittany got me in ASAP. These gals work super hard, not only making your hair look great, but getting to know you! I went back with my friend the next day, because I know she just NEEDED some Brittany in her life. She loved it! I then proceeded to take my husband and he looks great. Definitely recommend. It isn't insanely expensive, but when it comes to your hair, don't be stingy!! BRITTANY BRITTANY BRITTANY read more

This review is for Fawn. She is an amazing hair stylist.! All around she does hair, waxing, and lashes and every time i do all three i leave the building extremely happy. I absolutely love her and her personality. You guys should book with her because she never disappoints read more

I got a haircut on Monday by Rachel. I asked for a partially shaved haircut. The side that was shaved is not faded at all. It's short at the bottom and then long half way up my head. The rest of my hair which is longer is just destroyed. I was supposed to have layers in it. But just like with the shaved part its long and then there's shorter pieces here and there. It looks awful. To make matters worse, when I contacted Rachel to see if she wouldn't mind fixing it. She never got back to me. I would not recommend. read more

I have been seeing Rachel for all of my haircare services over the last year and I have never loved salon services more. She is professional and sociable. She listened to my wants and has taken excellent care of my hair. I have never had my hair so healthy and manageable. I have naturally curly/wavy hair so that is a must for me! She takes her time to make sure my hair is treated properly and that I have knowledge of products that are best suited for my haircare needs. She is so polite and bubbly to be around. I absolutely love my visits with her! read more

I called to make an appointment and was able to get in an hour later. The atmosphere is really comfortable and all the girls were so nice. JJ was AMAZING! I went in wanting to take my shoulder length brown hair to a pixie cut with a "lighter" color (I had no real idea what color, but had in my head that it needed to be lighter.) She suggested a mocha color, which was darker than my original, and it looks incredible!! I've had nothing but compliments on the cut and color. She also waxed my eyebrows. Every time I've had them done before I have broken out really badly, and this time nothing!! I will absolutely be going back, and I tell everyone who compliments my cut and color where I got it and which stylist did it! LOVE this place!!! They don't take credit cards, though, so make sure you take cash. It will be worth the trip to the ATM, I promise!!! read more

My nails look awesome! She was able to do my matte gel nails just how I imagined! Everyone was so nice, too! Great business and people. She did cut me on my thumb a bit with the nail file at the beginning. But was very careful about it later. read more

Amazing! Liz did a great job listening to what I wanted and gave me the cut and color that I was looking for! Thanks! read more

Id have to say that there ok not great because I had an appointment with a lady named maria and she never even came in, I also over heard them call her asking her where she was and I heard that she didnt care she can in an hr later and was rude, but Thank goodness there was a no show and I got Ashley who was amazing and made up for the rude Marie. If it werent for ashley fitting me in I would never have gone there again. Also the Front desk is polite but they have no professionalism at all but I'm finding that in ridgecrest no one know what professionalism is because aparently small towns have the mind set that they dont have to be professional. Do not use Maria she is inconsiderate, rude and obviously doesnt want any new clients read more

Nicole Shotwell is artistic and can do just about anything. She loves a good challenge and doesn't get upset or rush to do your nails.

Ashleigh is a great hair stylist, and I was very happy with my cut and color. I would definitely suggest her to other people. She was very nice and professional. The salon is kept very clean, and it is a great atmosphere. The only bummer is not all the girls take credit cards! If they did, I would give it 5 stars, but not being able to use my credit card is a deal breaker for me. read more

I must say, the front desk is very polite and welcoming and the atmosphere was calming. I went in for an eyebrow wax and I'm usually very nervous about letting someone new do them but Liz was very sweet and she did a great job, I will be going back! read more

I called asking if I could come in for my eyebrows and a bang trim and they told me they could squeeze me in ASAP so I jetted over. My girl was as sweet as can be, and it was $15 for both. Usually bang trims are free so I thought it was steep if it was just for eyebrows. They lose a HUGE star for not taking credit cards - massive inconvenience. Do people even carry cash these days? What kind of archaic nonsense is that? But I was thankful for the last minute accommodation nonetheless. read more

Kim is AMAZING!!!! So My sister is new to town and I came to visit her. We decided we wanted to chop our hair off! I looked at yelp reviews to find a good salon. Madison Avenue is a beautiful salon! They are a very nice and clean salon! We made an apt with Kim and she is absolutely amazing!! We came to her not knowing what we wanted and she helped us figure out some ideas. She did such an awesome job! I would recommend her! Every time I come back to Ridgecrest I will definitely make an apt with her! Thank you Kim!!!!! read more

Madison Avenue Salon - The before & after! - Hair Salons Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

So on May 7th after I waited over 45 minutes for Liz to be a no-show... Thank goodness the Salon finally called for someone else to come in to cover for the no-show stylist, and thank goodness it was Kayla who came to the rescue. Kayla did an excellent job on my hair. She listened to what I was thinking about for a style and she gave her input on style and color and my hair turned out great. She definitely turned a disaster into a great experience and a great hairstyle and color. Kayla definitely knows what she's doing. I'll definitely be back to see Kayla. read more

I made an appointment two weeks ago and then double checked I had that appointment a week ago and they said everything was good to go! When I arrived it turns out they scheduled somebody over me and turned me away even though I made my appointment first and double checked with them. Super unprofessional and disappointing since today was the only day I could possibly do it. I have a busy schedule- hence why I made an appointment. read more

This review is for both Kim (hair) and Sara (spray tan). They are both so pleasant and helpful. Kim is a color master. Sara does a great job with spray tanning, and she is always willing to work with me when I have an, "oops! I forgot about the tan!" moment. She works with me and always does a phenomenal job. I love them both and am so happy I found them. :) read more

I've used several ladies here over the years but I've been very pleased with Kayla Stoffel. She is always quick and kind and doesn't keep me waiting. She does a great job with my hair and always styles it nicely before I leave- better than I can myself for sure. Haircuts and color are reasonably priced and the salon is modern and clean (something I can't say for some other salons in town). Call ahead to book- she is very popular! read more

Melissa does my eyelashes and my hair! She is very professional and I love her work! Highly recommend her! Maria also did my threading. She did a really great job as well. I love the environment in the salon. So happy to have found this gem in Ridgecrest. read more
