Whether for amazing shows like Melbourne Fashion Week or my wonderful guests, I love creating beautiful transformations with colour!

My Experience
  • I have a Certificate IV in Hairdressing and am continuously across the latest on-trend colouring styles and techniques.
  • My expertise is creating incredible colour and looks that make my guests feel amazing.
  • Of the numerous shows and shoots I’ve been fortunate to be a part of, I loved my years at the Redken Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, being on the Session Salons team with Kevin Murphy backstage for Melbourne Fashion Week, and last year’s shoot for Bird Skin.
My Passions
  • I just love being creative with colour, balayage work, and short haircuts.
  • I love spending time with my family, friends, and my cat Miso.
  • My favourite things to do are watching Anime movies and hanging out with Miso.

Once again thank you Maddy for a great result. My new shorter length hair and our evolving approach to colour are very rewarding and exciting. Hair Hub and their special Crew are always a pleasure to have time with which keeps me returning year after year. I feel so lucky!

Everyone comments on my hair when I leave this amazing salon.
Maddie does the cut and colour I even have students from the school commenting how great my hair looks. Makes me feel pretty special as a grandma getting compliments from teenagers. I’m not going anywhere else!

Once again Maddie did a fabulous job with blonde highlights for my short hair. She understands the look I am after and always uses her expertise to achieve this result. It is always a great experience at Hair Hub and I would highly recommend them.

Maddie is a particularly lovely young woman and once again has done an excellent job. She took time with me to choose the colour carefully and I love it.
A stranger in a shop this morning even said how good it is.
Thank you Maddie and HairHub.

I’ve had Maddie cut my hair 3 times now. It has taken me a long time to find someone who really knows what to do with my hair. The best way to tell a good cut is how well it grows out & 4 months later, it sill looks great. Would highly recommend Maddie.

I am so grateful to Maddie for looking after me so well with my hair colour. She went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied to look my best for my son’s forthcoming wedding. This service extended to allow me to return a week later for some more highlights to lighten the overall look and fitting me in during a busy week. Haru was also on hand to attend to last minute adjustments. Everyone at HairHub are to be congratulated on their friendliness and excellent customer service. I always feel respected and important when I visit. Thanks again Maddie, Haru & Chloe. Best wishes from Liz

This is the second time Madeline cut my hair and I am equally satisfied this time. Madeline explains how she is going to cut your hair which is important to me. She is easy to communicate with and her bubbly persona is infectious to say at least. She is definitely one to keep.

As I have come to expect I am particularly happy with my hair following my recent visit to Hair Hub. For a first for me, Maddie looked after the colour with Haru doing some restyling and the cutting. I love the result, you are both Legends.
Hair Hub you never fail to come up with the goods every time, that is why you are such an important part of my life.
Happy Christmas to all of you and I look forward to my continuing visits in 2023.

Maddie and Gina are an artisan force! What a talented duo. Maddie on colour and Gina on cut…you can’t go wrong. I’m assured of a fantastic look. I always get comments especially from my husband who has never commented on my hair until I started going to HairHub. Love the team. Xxoo

HairHub never disappoints! I’ve been going to them for about 3/4 years now and the main reasons is not only because of the amazing quality every time, especially with my type of thick/curly hair, but the friendliness and ease Maddie (and the team) have in making me comfortable and well looked after. I like that when I’m feeling chatty, we’ll have great convos and it never feels forced, but she also picks up on when I want to be left to my own devices 🙂 Merry Xmas to the HairHub fam – you go above and beyond and it is highly appreciated.

Maddy was warm and bubbly and did a beautifully soft blow dry that made me feel 10 years younger and lasted all night. All the other staff were friendly and welcoming especially Cerille.

I am brand new to putting colour in my hair and the second I met Maddy I knew I was in safe hands!! I haven’t stopped smiling since I walked out of the salon! My hair is naturally very dark and the blend into a light blonde is seamless. Maddy was also super realistic with how light I was going to be able to get it in one session and honestly it’s like she took the thoughts out of my brain and translated them into real life.
