      Shift Lead Interview

      30 Sept 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Fairfax, VA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Madison Reed (Fairfax, VA) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      The manager was very self-involved. I learnt more about his work experience than about Madison Reed.. I arrived enthusiastic and left un-inspired. Trying to get a better sense about the Color Bar culture and job expectations was like trying to pull his teeth. Basically he wanted "someone to open and close the salon". For the technical part of the interview, as a colorist, no questions were asked about formulating, and no information was provided about the Madison Reed color or products being used. You're asked to demonstrate a root-retouch and semi-application on a mannequin head and complete it with a blowdry.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Honestly, I wish he had asked me questions! He seemed to be more concerned about getting someone to open and close the salon than incentivising a candidate to work for Madison Reed.

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Madison Reed in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Prepare to have 2-2.5 hrs out for the interview. It’s the technical aspects that they’re looking at. The interview starts with basic questions and discussions of availability. Once the interviewer shows you how to formulate the color and lighter you’re on your own to show your skills.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Madison Reed (New York, NY) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      The interview was great! I was a bit tense prior to the start of the interview (because of my overthinking brain), but once it started, I was relaxed! I was given simple instruction and was left to do my own thing. I appreciated being able to work the way that I work best.

      How do you decide what level of developer to use on the client’s hair?
