I cannot believe she used so many wonderful skin care products, cutomized for my skin type, which is oily. My skin literally glowed, was supple yet firm, and pores minimized. I wish she took before and after pics. She also used various techiniques like vibration, steam, and cold. Truly like no other and for the fraction of the cost. Do yourself and your skin a favor and book a facial with Lisa. Definitely going back for galvanic treatment. Cannot wait!!

I haven't colored my hair in over 10 years, so I was a bit nervous about getting my hair dyed…read moreagain. I always go for a natural look and wanted something that wouldn't be obvious when it grows out because I wasn't sure if I would keep up with dying my roots. My hair colorist suggested a few shades of auburn, as I requested a subtle red/brown color. We agreed on a medium chocolate color, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. The color is very natural and just a subtle change in overall hue. It's exactly the little bit of color I wanted. I also added a Seal treatment to lock in the color. The shampoo and Seal treatment smelled amazing. I loved relaxing in the chair when my hair got washed. I should have asked which shampoo was used on my hair because I really loved the scent and the fact that their products do not contain harsh chemicals. I especially like how they advertise which chemicals/ingredients are not in the hair dye (see my photo of the color bar.) I have been hesitant to color my hair for years because I'm trying to grow it out and apply as little heat and chemicals as possible. My hair tends to be very dry, especially at the ends, so I don't want it to become drier, however, Madison Reed products seem to be high quality. My hair does not feel any more dry than it did prior to being colored. If anything their dye helps make hair silky and smooth. I'm contemplating returning for the unlimited roots membership, which seems like a great deal. I would definitely recommend Madison Reed to anyone who is looking to color their hair. The salon is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The girl at the front desk and woman who colored my hair were both very welcoming and friendly. It's nice they have a couple other locations in the chicagoland area, as well. All in all, I was nervous before my experience, but ended up being very happy with the result. I noticed there are a few words of encouragement on the walls of the salon, including confident boosters, and that's exactly what I got: this little bit of color did in fact boost my confidence! It's just enough to look natural, but also give me a bit of an overall different hue. Thank you Madison Reed and staff for my wonderful experience!

I was recommended to go to Madison Reed for hair color, since they do not use ammonia in their hair…read morecolor. The first experience was nice. The salon is clean, and does not smell of product. My first colorist was very nice. I liked the color. My only complaint was I had roots showing within a couple of days. I had joined the pro level subscription, which meant I could get my roots done as often as I wanted. This is where it went downhill. When I went to try to get my roots done, I was told there was nothing wrong with them, and it must be the lighting. For a company who says you can come in as many times as you'd like for root touch ups at the pro level, they certainly do not want you to. The tech did my roots. The next day, I dried my hair, and my roots were showing!! I used the powder they sold me, and waited two weeks. I went back for another root touch up. The same thing happened. I washed my hair, with appropriate products, and my roots appeared. Whatever they had been using since my first trip was not permanent. I now had well over a half an inch of roots. We come to today. The tech asked if I used demi-permanent or permanent dye. I said "Permanent dye." I was getting an all over dye color, hoping this would color all of my roots. I was shampooed. I dried my hair, and left. Imagine my shock and dismay when I looked in the mirror and saw my roots!! What products are they using over there? No, it's not the lighting. No, it's not an "ashy" color. I went home and my son noticed right away. My husband noticed when he came home. I am very disappointed. I have cancelled my membership.

My sister scheduled my appointment months in advance, she lives in TN. Cristi used to frequent this salon, back when she lived in IL. I live in WI and honestly just thought my sister would end up doing my hair. She made appointments for us and requested the best person, to do my hair, for my special day. I rarely do anything with my hair. I didn't even have a picture to show, or anything special to suggest. I just told Maddie do whatever you think will look good. I really wanted to utilize my long hair somehow and put up the sides. I brought special rhinestone barrettes that she placed in the back of my hair. The salon was so wonderful they gifted me the best keychain with a ring attached to it, it's beautiful and will hold my car keys. I also loved how the music playing in the background. It was all wedding songs while I was getting my hair done. It brought such a smile to my face and was so thoughtful. My first dance at my wedding was even played, At Last by Etta James. That was pure coincidence since they didn't know that. We also had fake eyelashes put on too and that was absolutely something I will do again. Thank you Octagon for alleviating any anxiety and stress I had on my Wedding Day. Thank you for blessing my day, by making my sister and I, look like movie stars!!!!!!

Lorenzo is simply the best, and I cannot recommend him enough…read more He truly knows how to work with wavy hair -- my cuts and blowouts always come out incredible -- but what sets him apart is how much he actually pays attention. I went through a period of hair loss and was growing my hair back, and Lorenzo was with me every step of the way. At one appointment, someone had told me I was experiencing breakage, but Lorenzo took one look and knew it was actually new growth. That kind of expertise and attentiveness meant the world to me. Beyond his skill, he's just a genuinely good person. He's down to earth, listens to what you want, and meets you where you are -- whether that's a specific look you're working toward or a hair journey that takes time and patience. His scalp massages are incredibly relaxing, and every appointment feels like you're in the hands of someone who truly cares. If you're looking for a stylist who treats you like a real person and actually delivers -- Lorenzo is your guy.
