Madison Thompson is a 2021 graduate of Fairfield High School, where she also enrolled in Dual Credit courses through Navarro College. After graduating, Madison attended SFA in pursuit of a degree in Business Management. However, Madison found herself also pursuing a goal truer to her dreams: making people feel beautiful and welcomed through hair styling and makeup application. Madison found her purpose, passion, and creative brilliance behind the salon chair. Before making the jump to enroll in the Cosmetology program at Navarro College, Madison says “… when I was ready to take the leap and do what I loved, I already knew where I was going.” 

“I could not have chosen a better school to go to” Madison reflects, “I had the most amazing teachers and friends while attending Navarro College.” Madison received her Cosmetology certificate in the Spring of 2024. She states that her current salon owner and supervisor claims here a “unicorn” because of knowledge and expertise in executing many skills and techniques. While attending Navarro, Madison won 3rd place at Skills USA in the Cosmetology category and is a recipient of the CTE Scholar Award. Now, Madison plans to further her education and career within cosmetology by becoming a teacher. Madison says “I am going to complete my associates [this] Spring so I can one day teach cosmetology at Navarro… I have learned so much from this experience, but most of all I have learned how truly passionate I am about cosmetology.”  

Madison is recently married and enjoys spending time with her husband, Lex, and their dogs. They currently reside in Port Neches, Texas, where Madison works at a local salon and continues to change lives by giving clients a safe space to feel confident and stylish.
