TESTIMONIALS

After years of working with some of Madison’s top stylists, it is their word that can be the true measure of our studio facility. Here are a few testimonials from recent studio renters.

Venturing out on my own and starting my own salon gave me the ability to control the guest experience while affording me the flexibility I had always wanted. At Salons, Etc all of the salon owners have the independence of owning their own business, but we are supportive colleagues for each other, not co-workers. The supportive culture that comes from that motivates us to help each other as business owners each step of the way.

 

Being able to control the standard of service for clients was the initial motivation for leaving the salon I was at. I wanted to work on my schedule. If I didn’t want to work on a weekend or a specific day during the week, I could do that. But at the end of the day, my production relies on me. I like that I control my income.
