My color turned out fine. I was disappointed that even though I arrived 25 minutes early for my appointment and was asked to wait (that someone would be helping as soon as possible) I still had to alert the staff (at 12:59 pm) that I had a 1 pm appointment. I also noticed that several other clients were offered water or hot tea, but I was not approached by either my stylist or anyone else as to whether or not I wanted anything to drink. I wasn't told good-bye as I left, have a nice day ... nothing. I did notice that there w... read more

Despicable front desk service (Not even a 'hello, nice to meet you, thanks for choosing us' etc.), and hands-down, the WORST blow-out I have ever had. I also don't need to be reminded at every turn that I'm a 'badass.' Do yourself a favor and find a professional salon that treats you like a valued customer. Beyond inappropriate for well-educated, professional clientele.

As a licensed cosmetologist who is also a Paul Mitchell Alumni was underwhelmed when I went in for interview. Let's start with the lack of product in the salon (red flag #1). Or the fact that I found hair on a clean work station (red flag #2). There's more.... There was containers at the blow dry stations that weren't labeled with the name of the contents (red flag #3)I noticed all these things as I'm waiting to do my practical portion of my interview. I thought about walking out but that would've been unprofessional of me. ... read more

The staff were very nice but there wasn't much expertise when it came to color. I wanted to cover my grey roots but didn't want to go black because my hair isn't black & I had highlights, well she literally just dyed my hair black covering all my highlights and disappeared after putting the dye in. Considering the price, I was surprised the tech didn't stick around to discuss her work. It wasn't worth the price. Save your money and go to a real specialist that knows something about color.

I REALLY wanted to like this place! As a busy teacher, I loved the idea that I could make a last minute appointment for highlights when I found after school availability. The woman who initially put the product in my hair was lovely. Unfortunately she left the moment she finished putting the foils in my hair. She left instructions with the "assistant" about how long to leave it in and what toner to use. The amount of time came and went. Another employee said are you going to wash her? The assistant had already taken someone ... read more

Got my hair dyed here a couple days ago. My mother booked an appointment for this place just because I wanted to get my hair color evened out before I took my senior portraits. To start, I wasn't even aware that this place didn't offer bleaching until I got there- I didn't know anything about the place until I sat down in the chair. The lady asked me what I was interested in doing, and when I said that I wanted to go light brown, she said that wasn't possible. I was fine with that and asked to go for the lightest shade of ... read more

I am on vacation and looking for a salon for color touch up. In reading the reviews I found it very interesting and telling that with every bad review the response was always "we can not locate your account"..it was also interesting that said reviews and responses were 95% for the color bar in Walnut Creek. I've ordered Madison Reed color I have used at home and love it. I was hoping to get in to a MR color bar but I had higher expectations of company and how they allow their employees to act and treat customers.... 

Business response:

Hi Sabrina, We look at all reviews as a way to help our clients and better our business. Every person has their own unique experience, and it is helpful to keep in mind customers who have a negative experience are 1 to 2 times more likely to write a review than a customer who had a positive one. We look forward to you trying Madison Reed Hair Color Bar for yourself!

I've been hesitant to write a review but after an incident the other day, I knew it needed to be done. About 6 months ago, I decided to try Madison Reed. Despite the poor reviews, I opted to try the Walnut Creek salon as it's closest to my home. The first visit I had a good experience. My product was in stock and the stylist was very thoughtful and attentive. I visited 2 more times after that, each visit worse than the one before. I had specially requested a stylist and booked the appointment while in the salon, with that s... read more
