Joanna Madison - Hairstylist | Makeup Artist at 3000 East Imperial Highway, Brea, California.

It’s not a secret women enjoy getting their hair styled. It feels good, is relaxing and can even boost the self-esteem. Having a bad stylist can be a nightmare. Trust me, I’ve been there. I’ve gone to high dollar salons and experienced the waiting and tight-lipped expectancy that comes with it. So when I found Joanna, I really lucked out.

What makes Joanna so special? Firstly, she’s very well-versed in the current cutting and styling techniques, and is a skilled colorist and certified Brazilian Blowout stylist. Moreover, she can accommodate both cosmetic and waxing upon request.

Secondly, Joanna listens. Too often, stylists believe they know what is best for you and overrule or even ignore your opinion. Joanna offers professional advice, but lets you have the final say. She doesn't pressure you into buying add-ons you don't need or are uncomfortable with, don’t want or can’t afford to maintain. Plus, she is devoted to you and only you during your appointment.

Thirdly, the hairstyles Joanna provides are functionally practical. When you go home you can recreate the same look the next day. This is truly important because what's the point of having a cute hairstyle if you are unable to work with the next day. What impresses me most about Joanna is her hand-on approach to styling and maintenance. She shows you how to work with your hair so you are capable of styling it at-home. She also lets you know what products are style-appropriate so you can get more mileage out of your cut.
