We would like to thank you for standing with us while we do our very best to accommodate for this turbulent and heartbreaking time in our lives, to the family of Madison Avenue and our amazing staff. It is important to us that we continue to serve our family and friends as we have for the past 45 years.

As all know we were transitioning ownership to Mark Jr. and Michele. We had to step back, and reevaluate with the devastating loss of Mark Jr. We have come to realize the best way to move forward, for all of us is to postpone Mark Sr.’s retirement, until Amanda has the girls in school fulltime and can devote more time to management in Mark Jr.’s place along side Michele with my transitioning to retirement.

My head and my heart have been fighting with each other this whole time, and we all think this is the direction Madison Avenue Salons needs to follow, we think it best for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding, your loyalty and support are most appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Palumbo, President
