Named after her daughter, Madison Reed has grown into a successful hair-color startup, with recent funding of $33 million from investors like Jay-Z's Marcy Ventures, bringing its total funding to an impressive $236 million.

Errett's goal is to create the best possible work environment for stylists, where they can thrive and grow both personally and professionally. She believes that every team member, regardless of their role, should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
