I'm biased because Cori (a stylist there) is my friend, but she is awesome! My hair is extremely thick and wavy and has consistently proved to be a challenge to all people who dare to cut it. It's been too short, too long, and more often than I'd like to say, uneven (somehow, some stylists will actually manage to miss whole chunks that are sticking out at the bottom). Cori has given me the best haircuts of all time, every time. I've gotten comments from strangers on the street after getting a haircut with her! read more

I love Mary! She always listens to what I want and gives honest feedback to what will work for my hair and how it may differ from the picture I have shown her. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Madison Hair Designers for 4 years. The staff is always friendly and do a great job. They just remodeled their studio and it looks amazing. They also are very patient when I bring my daughter for haircuts. read more

Jenny does my hair, and my mom has been going to Mary for a long time, and we both have always had such great experiences! I will keep driving a half an hour to get my hair done here because I trust I will get a great service every time! read more

I desperately needed a color and cut after 3 weeks of travel, and missing a hair appointment at my regular hair salon in NY. I decided to call for an appointment after attending the Epic UGM conference, and before heading home. Everyone was so friendly and the salon did a fantastic job matching my color and with the haircut. I highly recommend this salon for those visiting Madison or if you're a local. read more

Awesome place! I took my two girls and they did such a great job!

I tried several salons before finding Madison Hair Designers. I liked that it is a modern, upscale salon without being snooty or overpriced. The owners put a lot of emphasis on continuing education for the stylists so they are always learning and trained on a lot of new trends. They do a great job with cuts but are true experts at hair color and I frequently get compliments on my hair. I have seen just about everyone in the salon at one point or another and have been happy with my hair. Stylists are all very friendly and approachable and do their job very well. I would highly recommend Madison Hair Designers as a friendly, local salon with stylists who are masters of their trade. read more

I tried this place on a whim after moving to the area, but I'm glad I did. Jenelle does a great job at cutting my hair and showing me ways to style it. read more

I had a great experience! My last visit to a salon was not so good! I received a really had haircut and was hoping trying a new place would be able to fix it. My cut and highlights were awesome! My stylist Kaitlin was very nice, knowledgable and professional. My scalp massage was beyond great! I even made my next appointment already which is something I typically don't do! I would defiantly recommend this salon from what I observed all the stylists are just as good as Kaitlin! read more

Had Mary cut my hair today - first time with her. She sat down and listened to me talk about what cuts worked and which did not. She then gave me a perfect haircut! I'll be back read more

My daughter and I have been going here for years so when my daughter was getting married it was a natural that we go there for the big day. She had a large wedding party. They were accommodating, bringing in the needed stylists to accomplish the needed preparation. We had a junior bridesmaid and flower girl and the work with them was wonderful too. Can't say enough about the place. Wonderful read more

I love Jenny! I moved here from San Francisco 5 yrs ago. I tried several salons and was never totally satisfied. Along came Jenny who cuts my hair perfectly. She's easy to schedule with, friendly, and considerate. I have referred many friends there which is a huge compliment to her..they all love her too. Now I take my kids to her (ages 3 & 6) and they love her too. read more

After moving from Chicago, I was kind of freaking out about who was going to do my hair and where I would find someone. Then Groupon came out of nowhere with a great deal for Madison Hair Designers. I made my appointment and was scheduled with Mary. She is incredible! Anyone who is looking for a good stylist-attention-call Mary right now! She listened to what I did and did not want. I got a great highlight, lowlight, cut and style. And to top it all off-a complimentary paraffin hand treatment and massage. Mary gave me great styling tips and suggested products without being pushy about it. I left feeling great about my new look and have received so many compliments. As if the great style and service wasn't enough, I received a thank you note in the mail yesterday from Mary. It had referral cards for friends and a return coupon for my second visit!!! Who writes thank you's anymore and cares about appreciating their clients anymore??? Mary-that's who! Call her and make an appointment right now! read more

Just wanted to give Cori another shoutout for being so awesome at what she does! I always feel my best after leaving her at the salon. She sure knows how to make a girl feel refreshed, cute, modern, and renewed. I have all the trust in the world in her. She's been doing my hair for a while now and also styled my hair for my wedding. Too bad she couldn't move in with me and style my hair everyday... read more

I was looking for a new salon on the west side and decided to make an appointment with Cori after reading the previous reviews, and I'm so glad I did! Cori is wonderful! She gave me exactly to cut I asked for, and gave me some really good recommendations for how to take care of it. She even taught me a few things about my hair type I had never known before. The salon is also really cute, and online booking is a huge plus in book. Go see Cori, you won't be disappointed! read more

After searching for a new hair salon on Yelp I came across Madison Hair Designs and thought it sounded like a good fit. While Mary was very nice, I left with a haircut that was far from flattering. I went in looking for a shoulder length cut with a lot of layers but left with a much shorter cut and choppy layers. I wish I had been asked for clarification/a go-ahead before the first 6 inch chunk had been chopped. Like I said, she was very nice and the salon was lovely but I will not be going back. read more

I love Madison Hair Designers. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Cori is great. I have thin, fine hair, and she helped me with some trouble spots. This is the place for all of your needs. read more

Today was my first time at Madison Hair Designers. Caitlin did a fantastic job of styling my hair. She gave me the best scalp massage ever, listened to how I would like to have my hair look and styled my hair beautifully. I highly recommend her. read more

I would NOT recommend this salon. Laura said she understood how to work with and cut wavy hair. I also asked that my hair NOT be undercut. After my first cut with Laura, when I got home and worked with my hair, I knew something was not right. However, I chalked it up to the first time Laura cut my hair and thought maybe some miscommunication had happened. A few weeks later, I needed to just have my bangs trimmed prior to attending an impromptu event, so I made an appointment with Laura for the second time. Well, I showed up pretty early (15 minutes ahead of my apt. time) and sat in the waiting area just opposite Laura's chair, which she directed me to (so Laura knew I was there plus I received a text message two hours before my apt. reminding me of the apt.). Laura had another client in her chair when I walked in. Well, my apt. time came and went, and went, while Laura finished the client and then proceeded to chit-chat for some time at the check-out/receptionist desk. As I needed to get to work after my bang trim and could not be late (I have the responsibility to open the door to the business), after 20 min.'s past the start of my apt. time and with no end in site of the continued chit-chat, I walked up the receptionist desk to try and inquire if Laura was going to have enough time to trim my bangs within the next 10 min.'s or if I should just head out to work and forget the bang time that I scheduled a couple of days prior. When I stood behind and next to the client she was speaking with I was NOT acknowledged even after 5 min.'s! FINALLY after 26 min.'s PAST my scheduled apt. time I was sitting in Laura's chair. I was JUST ABLE to make it to work on time. After this experience, I felt the need to speak to the owner about what happened. I left a message for the owner and she called me back. The owner's attitude and comments were not at all what I expected. The owner was NOT at all sympathetic about what happened and instead told me that some clients just take longer in the chair. This answer was given even after I noted that the client prior to me was only in the chair 5 min.'s past my apt. time (and the rest of the time was spent chit-chatting)! So, bottom line, the owner nor one of the stylists working there seem respectful of an individual's time nor experience you receive at this salon. Thus, if you are a person that arrives on time, have places to go after your apt., and don't want to feel invisible, I'd highly recommend you AVOID this salon! P.S. Earlier in this post I noted something was not right with my hair after Laura cut it the first time. Well, I went to another salon and the stylist went through my hair and SHOWED me exactly why I sensed my cut was not correct--in spite of my telling Laura I didn't want my hair undercut, that's what happened. After this stylist corrected my cut, she showed me my hair on the floor which was of distinctly different lengths!!! This would not have been the case unless my hair was undercut (as I DO NOT have layers in my hair). read more

Great hair place. No pokestops and Pokémon don't spawn here. Great place otherwise. The bathrooms are super clean and the hairdressers are friendly. Have to make an appointment ahead though. Great selection of hair products read more

I've been going there along for a long time. The service I get has always been great and I get many compliments about my haircuts.

I went in to get my roots touched up (I have brown hair which I dye blonde) and it was my first time at this salon (I bought a groupon online). I went to see Laura. I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding her. She went on saying things like, "no offense, but I don't get why anyone would want to dye their brown hair blonde" and "it's so annoying having to bleach hair, I should get paid extra for it" and "you know those people who use coupons (she knew I was using a groupon)". I bit my tongue and let her go on, even though she was being extremely unprofessional and rude. At the end my roots came out gold, and the rest of my hair was WAY overtoned and a blueish grayish tone. She told me it would wash out in a couple washes, which was wrong. After several washes, I called and asked them to fix my hair. Her manager said that they would be happy to book me a complimentary appointment with Laura. Laura proceeded to call me back and say she would have to charge me for the appointment. Overall I was extremely unhappy with my experience; I was insulted the entire appointment and now have hair that is two different colors. read more

Last night was my first appointment with Jenelle. She was wonderful, friendly and professional. The first service I had done was eyebrow waxing. She did a wonderful job, nice and evenly done. Next was my haircut (which started with a shampoo and an awesome head massage). After we looked at the picture of what I was looking for, she asked me several questions to make sure that she understood exactly what I wanted. As Jenelle was cutting my hair she made sure to ask me questions about how the length was and how I style my hair everyday. When she was done my hair was exactly what I had pictured in my head (which does not happen very often!). Jenelle not only took the time to really understand what I was looking for, she also went through the various Kenra products and had me select one, based on my styling preferences, that she used to blow dry and style my hair. She not only did this, but made sure to explain what she was doing so that I knew how to style and care for my new cut. I purchased one of the Kenra products (Curl Glaze Mousse 13) that she recommended and used it for the first time this morning. It was perfect amount of control for my waves without being crispy when it dried. The salon itself was very nice. Cozy and inviting, Everything was clean and all of the stylists were professional. The half price voucher that I purchased was what originally brought me into the salon, but Jenelle is the reason that I will be going back! read more

Worst salon experience ever! Starting with the lesser sins, the young stylist didn't introduce herself and chewed gum while cutting my hair. I was nervous right from the start when she took a small plastic comb, laid it against my neck and cut a straight line across as I've seen stylists do for men. News flash-- my hair is thick with lots of wave, I had told her I wanted to emphasize the curl, and I don't wear my hair in a pixie cut. Long story short, I should have listened to my gut and walked away. She completely changed the style for the WORSE. Never showed me the profile or back of my head. I was mortified at what I saw from the front! Had to leave before I had a melt-down in the middle of the salon. Drove away blindly, stopped at the next salon I came to and begged for help (I was in tears). The stylists at second salon all agreed my 'new do' showed terrible technique. Thankfully, the head stylist took pity on me and squeezed me into her packed schedule while her current client's color was processing. Thank goodness she rescued my hair! Called MHD manager when I got home, told her the story and she did agree to refund what I had paid there. I should have asked for extra to cover my lost time and emotional distress! read more
