Get a cut that looks good every day, not just when you leave the chair. Your appointment starts with a focused consultation to learn how your hair behaves and what you need from it. We craft a precise shape that suits your features and texture, then finish with a polished blow-dry for lasting movement, shine and control. Clear styling guidance helps you recreate the finish at home.

What's Included
A focused, end-to-end service designed around you.
- Personal consultation covering goals, face shape, texture and lifestyle.
- Cleanse and preparation to optimise the cut and finish.

Who It's For
Perfect for anyone who wants a tailored, wearable cut with a professional finish. Whether you prefer low maintenance, classic polish or something fashion led, the cut is shaped to suit your look and routine.
Suitable for straight, wavy, curly or coily hair, and welcoming to clients of all genders seeking a feminine or soft aesthetic. If you are growing out colour, managing greys or rebuilding strength, the shape is planned to support your hair goals.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow around 60 minutes. This gives time for consultation, a considered cut and a complete blow-dry finish.
For very thick or long hair, or a major restyle, please mention it when booking so we can allow extra time. Bring reference photos if helpful. Arrive as you normally wear your hair; we will cleanse and prep as part of the service.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To keep the shape fresh, rebook every 6 to 10 weeks depending on your style and growth. Use heat protection when styling.
Rough-dry to about 80 percent, then polish with a brush for smoothness or lift at the roots for volume. We will recommend simple steps and products that fit your routine.

I had such a lovely experience here… the salon feels beautiful and calm, and everyone made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Matthew truly worked magic on my hair - the cut and blow dry looked amazing days later, and I’ve had so many compliments! You can really feel the care that goes into everything, and I left feeling happy and confident. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a world-class cut with a warm, friendly experience.

I’ve just moved from Japan to Oxford, so choosing a hair salon felt like a real gamble—but I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I went to Matthew Clulee and booked with Elia, and it was absolutely the right decision. He instantly put me at ease, really listened to what I wanted, and delivered a perfect cut. Highly, recommended!

I recently visited Matthew Hair Spa and had my hair highlighted, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The stylist Elia really listened to what I wanted and gave great advice, and the final color turned out beautiful—natural, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The service was professional, friendly, and relaxing from start to finish. I felt well taken care of and left feeling confident and refreshed. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking for high-quality hair services and a great overall experience.

I’m behond happy with my experience at the hair gallery, I came in for a cut and colour and it wasn’t a simple job whatsoever, also after not going to a hairdressers in over 3 years i was quite nervous letting someone else touch my hair but Ruby did so amazingly and i left feeling confident in my new hair! I cannot recommend the hair gallery enough! Everyone was very welcoming and it has a lovely atmosphere about it! Thank you so much ruby! xx

I always leave this place feeling fantastic and so well looked after! Anyone that gets highlights done knows that this means spending a number of hours in a salon. It makes such a difference when it’s somewhere you enjoy being! Thank you to the team for creating such a lovely relaxing environment. Thank you of course to James for always taking such good care of my hair!

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!

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!
