A great haircut does more than shape your hair. It supports your identity, reflects your personality and helps you show up in the world with confidence.

At Matthew Clulee Hair Spa in Oxford, we believe that hairdressing should be open, welcoming and free from assumptions. Everyone deserves a salon experience that respects who they are and what they want to express.

Whether you identify as male, female, non binary or prefer not to label yourself at all, our team is committed to providing a thoughtful, safe and inclusive space where your preferences lead the way.

Why Inclusivity Matters in Modern Hairdressing

Hair has always been deeply connected to identity. For many, a haircut is not simply a style choice but a form of self expression, affirmation and comfort. Unfortunately, traditional salon structures often categorise services by gender, creating experiences that feel limiting or unwelcoming for some clients.

At Matthew Clulee Hair Spa, we take a different approach. Instead of viewing hair through a gendered lens, we focus entirely on the person in front of us. You choose how you want to look. We listen, advise and create.

Inclusivity for us means:

  • Listening without assumptions
  • Creating a comfortable environment where you feel respected
  • Offering style guidance tailored to your lifestyle and identity
  • Providing services based on hair length, texture and technique, not gender
  • Ensuring privacy and personal comfort throughout your visit

This thoughtful approach allows every client to enjoy a salon experience that feels authentic, calm and reassuring.

A Consultation Style That Starts With You

A truly inclusive haircut begins with a conversation. Our consultations are designed to understand your personal style, daily routine, maintenance preferences and how you want your haircut to make you feel.

During your consultation, we will explore:

  • Your preferred look
  • Your hair type and texture
  • Any challenges you experience with styling
  • The level of upkeep you prefer
  • Your professional or lifestyle needs
  • Any sensitivities or gender related concerns

Whether you come in with a clear idea or would like guidance, we are here to support your decision in a completely respectful, professional way.

Haircuts and Styles for Everyone

Our stylists are trained in a wide range of cutting techniques, allowing us to create classic, contemporary and expressive styles suited to every gender identity.

Short Hair and Precision Cuts

Sharp fades, textured crops, tailored pixies and structured short shapes are ideal for clients who prefer clean, modern styles.

Medium Length Cuts

Soft layers, blunt edging, tousled waves or refined shaping can be personalised to create balance and movement.

Long Hair and Creative Design

Flowing layers, weight removal, shaping around the face and healthy trimming ensure long styles remain expressive and full of life.

Curly, Coily and Textured Hair

Your natural texture is treated with care and expertise, ensuring your haircut complements your curl pattern and enhances definition.

Transformation Cuts

For clients exploring a new identity or embracing a fresh chapter, we offer supportive, private appointments where you can feel comfortable making meaningful changes.
