    Sir Madam Salon

    Sir Madam Salon creates unique opportunities for people to build unexpected connections through hairdressing.

    We are a social change hairdressing group, working across remote Australia and in festivals. Sir Madam Salon is a collaboration between hairdresser Mel Balkan, live artist Ben Fox and cultural strategist Kate Fielding. In tiny remote communities and wild outback towns we invite people to enjoy styling each other’s hair and be part of the salon chatter about fashion, art, culture, gender, wellbeing and remote Australia.

    Want to get a taste of Sir Madam Salon? Luckily for you ABC Goldfields interviewed us, complete with an immersive haircutting experience. You can listen to the interview here and an article based on the interview is here.

    Sir Madam Salon recently featured in the Broken Heel Festival, in the gorgeous outback heritage city of Broken Hill. This festival celebrates the 21st anniversary of the iconic Australian film Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Hosted by Maari Ma Health Aboriginal Corporation, we transformed a former medical clinic into a salon and invited both visitors and Broken Hill locals to join us in a playful hair party.

    “I just want thank you guys so much, we had a wonderful time at the Palace last night and I think it was all because of meeting people here (in Sir Madam Salon). It was like we had our own little group of people, we kept on running into each other and hugging and kissing. It made all the difference, thank you so much.” Karen, aka Suzie LeSweet

    This project builds on the hairdressing program we developed in Wilurarra Creative.
