Madison Reed Color Bar in The Woodlands to open this fall

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Madison Reed, a prestige brand challenging the hair color industry, brings its unique color-only concept – the Madison Reed Color Bar – to the Houston area with the opening of two locations:

Katy in LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch at 23501 Cinco Ranch Blvd. (Opening Oct. 24)
The Woodlands in The Woodlands Market Street Center at 9595 Six Pines Dr. (Opening Oct. 28)

The Color Bar concept is designed to deliver stunning salon-quality hair color that is both affordable and convenient for time-pressed women. For only $55 – less than half the cost of a salon visit – clients can get permanent color applied by a certified, licensed colorist. Or, for just $25, clients can get a color-reviving gloss that provides color and shine for up to eight washes.

'Our fans in Houston have repeatedly told us, ‘If you build it, we will come,’” said Amy Errett, CEO and founder of Madison Reed. “So we feel confident this will be a successful market for our Color Bars. We are starting with these two suburban locations, but already we foresee more expansion in the Houston area.”

San Francisco-based Madison Reed was first known for disrupting at-home hair color that is typically sold in boxes found on drugstore shelves:

Since the company’s launch in 2014, hundreds of thousands of women have been able to go online, buy Madison Reed’s salon-quality color, and have it shipped directly to their door.
Madison Reed’s proprietary formula is free of the eight harsh ingredients commonly used by other brands, including PPD, ammonia, parabens, resorcinol, phthalates, gluten, SLS and titanium dioxide.
Madison Reed uses technology – including a proprietary algorithm that extracts data from 10 million 'hair profiles,' as well as an augmented reality (AR) tool – to help women find their perfect shade of hair color. Colorists are also available via phone to provide color-matching as well.

Now Madison Reed is disrupting the salon industry. At Color Bars, gone is the typical salon secrecy surrounding how color is mixed: clients can buy the exact color formula and products that were just used on their hair. They can also get free color consultations and colorists will teach clients how to color their hair at home – additional industry firsts.

The hours of operation for both locations are:

Monday to Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thursday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m.(The Woodlands) Sunday from Noon to 6 p.m. (Katy)
