Your appointment starts with a focused consultation to understand your hair, face shape and routine, followed by a precision cut and polished finish. Every detail is tailored to your texture and goals, whether you prefer low maintenance, classic or trend led styling. Inclusive and welcoming to all genders. ## What's Included Everything you need for a considered cut and refined finish. - Personal consultation to define your goals, maintenance time and hair history. - Assessment of texture, density, growth patterns and face shape. - Precision cut using techniques suited to straight, wavy, curly or coily hair. - Refined finish with blow-dry, diffuse or natural styling, plus product selection. - Styling coaching for your at-home routine, brushes and tools. - Maintenance plan with a suggested return window and options for future changes. ### Who It's For This service suits anyone who wants a personalised cut that supports their lifestyle, from low maintenance to styled looks. It is ideal for all genders, including non binary clients, and for all hair textures and densities. Expect balanced shape, movement and control that lasts between appointments, whether you prefer classic refinement or something more fashion led, a subtle refresh or a complete restyle. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow 60 minutes for consultation, cut and finish. This timeframe ensures we agree your plan, create the shape and refine the result. If you are planning a major change or have very long, dense or highly textured hair, you may need extra time. Note this when booking so we can allow enough time. Arrive with hair down, detangled and in its natural state if practical. Bring inspiration photos if you wish. ### Aftercare & Maintenance We will show you how to recreate the finish at home with simple steps. Use heat protection when styling. Rough-dry to around 80 percent then refine with a brush; for curls, apply leave-in, diffuse on low or air-dry, then gently soften the cast. Typical maintenance: short and structured 4-6 weeks, mid-length 6-10 weeks, longer or layered and curly 8-12 weeks. Your ideal interval depends on growth and preference and will be agreed in your plan. We will recommend products and tools that suit your texture and routine, and suggest a pathway for future cuts or changes.

Mathew took time to listen to what I wanted and really showed me how to achieve the look I wanted once I was doing it myself. My hair has never looked or felt as good as it did after Mathew cut it today. A really enjoyable experience. I shall certainly return. - K Khouloud Manai > I had a curly haircut with Matthew after having Brazilian keratin treatments for a year, Matthew worked his magic and managed to bring my curls back to life. I usually leave the hairdresser in tears, but this time they were tears of joy. Matthew is incredibly skilled, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain every step of the process, making me feel cared for and involved throughout. I couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and attentive curly hair specialist. - M Marium Qureshi > Loved the haircut by Carmen. Thankyou so much!!!!! Show all reviews - R Rosario Evans > My first time coming to this salon. I felt very heard. I let Matthew advise me on what would suit me and went with his advice. It turned out great. Super friendly service and a great haircut. I’ll be back! - C Carolyn Bruter > Thank u James for a fabulous cut & blow. Love the products this salon uses and had lots of comments how how great my hair looked 😍 - c carinne lawrence > Great service and the best haircut I’ve had for ages. If you have curly hair, this is the place to go to. - A Angela Martin-Sperry > I had a great haircut with Matthew.He is a total craftsman and took lots of time and effort to design the best cut for me. A pleasant and friendly salon where all the staff really know what they’re doing. Thank you. - M Michelle Armstrong > Great service, brilliant staff and great hair cut! Thanks James - H Harriet Wyatt > A really professional and pristine place! 100% recommend, the staff are not only just lovely but you can tell they enjoy what they do. I used to dislike going to get my hair done as I found some hair dressers are a-bit scissor happy, but here is the absolute opposite- communication throughout and exactly what I wanted. Special mention to Elia- He slays everytime he does my hair and I love our chats! - M Molly Sharples > Wish I could give this business 10 stars - hands down one of the best haircuts I’ve had. I have pretty thick hair and usually find hairdressers don’t know how to cut it, but Matthew is clearly extremely knowledgeable in cutting hair and knew exactly what I needed! He listened to exactly what I wanted in the consultation and made it look even better. Thank you so much and I might have to come to Oxford again just for a haircut! ## Frequently Asked Questions How should I prepare for my haircut consultation? Arrive with your hair clean, dry and detangled if possible, worn in its natural fall. Bring any inspiration photos and note what you like or find challenging about your current style. We will take it from there. Do you cut curly, coily and textured hair? Yes. We assess your curl pattern, density and goals, then decide whether to cut wet, dry or a mix to protect definition and shape. Finishing techniques are chosen to enhance your texture without unwanted bulk. How long will my haircut last? Most clients rebook every 4-12 weeks depending on length, texture and desired shape. Short styles sit best at 4-6 weeks, mid-length at 6-10, and longer or curly at 8-12. We will confirm your ideal window during the visit. Can I combine this appointment with colour? Yes, a cut and finish pairs well with colour services. If you plan a significant colour change, book a consultation so we can sequence services and allow enough time. We will advise the best order for your goals. Is the service gender neutral and inclusive? Absolutely. The consultation, cut and finish are tailored to you, not a gendered menu, and are welcoming to all identities including non binary clients. Language, techniques and styling are inclusive and respectful.
