Madison Finn
Salon owner — Melbourne
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Madison Finn, Melbourne, Australia.
What do you do?
I have my own hair salon in Fitzroy.
Describe your style in three words?
Bright, fun and hot.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to in Australia?
I haven’t been to see a lot of music in Australia, I am too lazy to book tickets.
Which Australian subcultures have influenced you?
I grew up in the outer suburbs and have been influenced by Aussie bogans. That consists of thongs, jeans, Oakley wraparounds, slabs of beer and random designer items. I have combined all of these to create my own unique style which is the perfect balance of Y2k, high-end look and local designers.
Best Australian musician?
Maya Hirasedo, her single 'I know' is amazing and she is definitely going places.
What is Australia’s best-kept secret?
My friend Shannon’s three-legged cat Pip, she’s a queen and needs to be known.
Best place to hang out in Australia?
MY SALON, Duh! Everyone’s welcome and everyone’s going to be comfortable. I love being there and whoever is in at the time automatically becomes friends! It’s a soft and loving place. I have created an environment where I want people to feel happy and hang out.
02Playlist
04Playlist Notes
The first track you played on repeat?
'MOOO!' by Doja Cat. I honestly don’t remember, but I keep playing because my daughter loves it and it’s the first song that she is learning to sing.
A song that defines the teenage you?
'Something Special' by Miguel Campbell. Sexy and wonderful.
A song lyric that has inspired you?
"I am hеalthy, I am wealthy
I am rich, I am that bitch (I am, I am)
I am gonna go get that bag (I am)
And I am not gonna take your shit
I am protеcted, well respected
I'm a queen, I'm a dream (I am, I am)
I do what I wanna do
And I'm who I wanna be
'Cause I am me"
From 'I Am' by Baby Tate. One of my best friends Jordan sent me this song when I was in a really hard place. Trying my hardest to open a salon and start a new life, and it keeps me inspired and motivated to this day!
A song you wished you had written?
'ball w/o you' by 21 Savage.
Best song to turn up loud?
'Junya pt 2' by Kayne West. Most definitely.
A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
I LOVE QUEEN, I know all the lyrics to every song. It reminds me of being young and my parents renovating this old house we brought. Good times!
A song to get you straight on the dance floor?
'Best Friend' by Saweetie. All hot girl’s vibe to this song!
Best song to end an all-nighter?
'Formula 06' by DJ Visage.
Any new bands you’re into at the moment?
'Violent Crimes' by Kanye West. I don’t really listen to bands but my boyfriend is obsessed with Kayne and I have gotten into him recently and we have been listening to this song.
