Dye Candy

COO

Kathryn Madison is an innovator in the world of hair care, blending salon expertise with cutting-edge product development. Trained at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academy in London, she has more than 15 years of hands-on industry experience.  

As the founder and CEO of Dye Candy, Kathryn launched The Hummingbird – a patented device that allows hair color to be applied upright with precision and control, elevating the hair color experience. Developed after years of research and design, The Hummingbird is a more precise, more sustainable, and frankly better solution than ketchup-style squirt bottles. The product is wildly popular with both salon professionals and home hair color enthusiasts, amassing millions of views on TikTok. 

The brand’s newest offering, The Hummingbird Mini, focuses on scalp and hair health. Entering the growing oils and serums market, expected to reach $134 billion globally by 2028, this unique application device gives users a differentiated option to customize and precisely place their choice of products. This can be a favorite single product or a “cocktail” mix. The Mini’s versatility enhances scalp and hair care options for a diverse and expanding customer base.

Kathryn’s visionary leadership and creativity continue to make waves in the industry, positioning Dye Candy as a go-to brand for purposeful, sustainable hair care application.
