Madison Reed has opened its 50th hair color bar—and marks another year of tremendous growth.

The 50th location is in Roslyn, NY and marks their sixth Hair Color Bar in the tri-state area, with the seventh slated to open early 2022 in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood.

Madison Reed’s formuals “8-free” formulas and in Italy. The concept gives clients access to salon-gorgeous hair color, applied by a licensed professional, at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional salons. The “hair color industry disruptor” says it has revolutionized the way women color their hair.

Amidst a global pandemic, Madison Reed managed to grow their team 2x within 18 months, while maintaining all jobs.

As stay-at-home orders became the norm in 2020, the brand temporarily paused operations in its then 12 Hair Color Bars and pivoted its employees to Color Crew, the online support team of licensed colorists.

Plans to Further Expand Growth in 2022

Earlier this year, Madison Reed announced a $52 million funding round to fuel its omnichannel expansion and build upon the 130 percent growth it saw during 2020.

As a part of their growth plans in 2022, Madison Reed is expected to hire more than 750 new colorists to staff their rapidly expanding Hair Color Bars across the country.

Amy Errett, CEO and Founder of Madison Reed, says, “We opened our first Hair Color Bar with the belief that salon-quality hair color should be convenient, affordable and made with ingredients our clients can feel good about. Flash forward to 50 Hair Color Bars and we’re just getting started! Expect us to have more than 80 by 2022.”

The 50th location is in Roslyn, NY and marks their sixth Hair Color Bar in the tri-state area, with the seventh slated to open early 2022 in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood.

Madison Reed plans to open additioal locations in 2022, expanding across California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, and Oregon.
