What a great business. The woman who helped me was knowledgeable, and relaxed but attentive. She knew exactly which questions to ask in order to get me what I needed, in and out of the store, within 30 minutes. Their warehouse selection is just enough they'd have whatever you need mannequin-related, but not overwhelming, and no merchandise in poor condition. I paid $80 out the door for a 3/4 mannequin in good condition, with detachable arms and stand, an excellent value. They had a class going on which looked fun, and I was low-key jealous I couldn't stop and make a headdress too. The women's attitudes who were working were totally welcoming and from the little interaction I had, I can tell they'd, and their store, would be amazing resources for various projects.

Nothing 'stiff' about this place. What a class act. Ordered a mannequin online and received it very quickly. Had one minor issue with a piece of hardware. Sent Judi an email and the next business day the replacement part was in the mail. Service like this is so rare these days!!!!!!

Who would've thought I would ever stop in a mannequin store selling used, new mannequins, various dress forms, torsos, limbs, used cosmetology heads...well, my friend's fascination for planting succulents and greenery in doll heads as creative arrangements brought me here. Joy! All I could think about (as I walked into the shop) was a scene of a scary movie of faceless, headless, limbless torsos and heads following me with their eyes! Fortunately, it wasn't as creepy as I imagined but inviting, energetic with staff welcoming as soon as we arrived. The front area has a variety of dress forms with beautiful costumes...walk in, you see the craft table for The Headdress Workshop we signed up for... then in your peripheral vision you slowly turn to see the various mannequins artfully displayed for sale...then again it was the afternoon and not dark with flickering fluorescent lights so all good! After completing our 2.5 hr class, my friend was off to sort thru a bin of used cosmetology heads and peruse for "parts" in the back area....she ended up with 3 which made her day....this first visit to Mannequin Madness was fun, creative and therapeutic....I still dislike mannequins but we all had a great time and left with beautiful finished headdresses/fascinators (I'll probably wear to Sizzlers)...and my friend left with 3 new "friends" she can add to her whimsical garden.

I loved my experience at Mannequin Madness’s Headdress “Playday”, as I called it! I felt like Alice in Wonderland walking through their doors. I was welcomed by the owner Judi Henderson, then their crafts leader and shown to our worktable surrounded by endless well-organized bins of colorful flowers, beads, ribbons and trinkets that I would choose from to make my creation.She gave a quick tour, which got my creative side really blooming. The first thing I loved was a sense of “freedom” – the gift of choice - to make something just for ME! In a world where I do so much for others, this got high marks for self-care! Next, I got quick instructions on the process and tools I’d be using. With basket in hand, it was like a treasure hunt, expanding my thinking on ‘what could be’ – exploring possibilities. The actual constructing of my headdress was another wild experience ~ to just stop and focus on something crafty and tactical was powerful. There were no mistakes and no consequences; only lots of laughter and free play time for me! From the start, the middle and finally as I put finishing touches on my beautiful masterpiece (my headdress/crown), it was truly an amazing and rewarding experience. I came through their doors needing a boost that day and during my time there, was so uplifted, happy and motivated to tackle the rest of the day. By the way my headdress was so beautiful, I wore it to my next appointment and later that week to a big luncheon, where I got lots of great compliments! I’ll wear it to my future personal art exhibits. Thank you for such a really unique and fun gift. Pat Patterson

Judi and her team were excellent in assisting me and my 6 writing group members create unique and beautiful headdresses. Her skillful and creative assist was patient, resourceful and supportive. Everyone left proudly cradling their precious individually themed creations. And an individual and group photo was included! Big kudos ?? for a truly wonderful adventure!

Judi is awesome, she went above and beyond for our mannequin needs for an upcoming trade show. I won't be buying our mannequins from anyone else but Mannequin Madness. Give her all of your business, you won't regret it. Thanks, Judi!

The Headdress Workshop at Mannequin Madness was such good fun! Had a girls’ day out with this event being the highlight. From the moment we arrived to when we left with our beautifully created headdresses, we were welcomed, guided, supported and inspired. Highly recommended!!

I ordered a mannequin on line. The shipping was $80 and the form arrived quickly. Within a week of ordering. Unfortunately it arrived damaged. The frame was bent and a few holes in the linen cover I was worried about getting larger over time. After working with Judi and her vendor for a few days I decided to return the mannequin. Fortunately Judi lives near me so she could come and pick up the form from my house and gave me 100% refund right then. She was so kind and considerate of my specific needs. I would definitely recommend Mannequin Madness.

They are doing so many great things here that it's hard to keep track. Not only do they have one of the best selections of reclaimed new and used mannequins, but they also offer a variety of other activities like crafting events and photography studio space. Judi and her team are warm and welcoming and full of fantastic ideas. To top it all off, the basis of the business is a sustainable practice.

The people that run the classes here are amazing - kind and with a sense of humor. I had a lovely time making a headdress, with a great selection of pieces to use, guidance where needed, and lots of creativity! Definitely worth going and creating something new. :)

Extremely rude customer service. I asked for a prepaid shipping label to return the mannequin stand that didn’t work out for my mannequin. Just asked if they would since the cost to ship for me was more than the cost of the stand. I thought perhaps they have a deal with their business shipping wise. Instead I received this rude reply from the owner :

I have had some amazing experiences with Mannequin Madness. Designing my own headdress, wreath and learning online how all about Mannequin holiday trees. Judi Henderson-Townsend is so creative, passionate and connected. A consummate host and strategic thinking business leader!
