    A welcoming salon where everyone is friendly and from what I could see practices to a consistently high level. I saw some beautiful colour jobs leaving! Elia is friendly and knows exactly how to handle his scissors! I have been here twice now and am very happy with the quality of the services. Thank you.

    I literally chose this hairdresser based on reviews. I met Mathew and he immediately put me at ease. He took time to listen before he did anything. Since been back to have a set of highlights with Elia . He was courteous, kind and again listened to my needs. Chloe blow dried my hair, very attentive and again listened to what I wanted. I was in there quite a while and they treated all the customers the same no matter how long they were there for Probably the best salon experience I have ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend the salon to anyone in the future . Very very friendly and approachable staff.

    Update: After two years, I still cannot rate Matt, James, Elia, Fatima and the team highly enough. Always meeting a challenge with creative flair — honestly, a highlight of Oxford. Matthew and the team have been nothing but welcoming from the first second I sat in the chair — accepting and encouraging as I figure out transition. Cannot recommend highly enough as a space to ask questions and get safe, considered support.

    OMG the Brazilian blowout! I now have the hair of my dreams! From thick/wavy/frizzy hard to blow dry to effortlessly smooth and shiny, this is seriously a life changer! James and Elia have been dealing with me and my hair for the last 3 years, i can’t thank them enough. This is such a friendly, professional, and amazing salon, and my hair has *never looked better* Cheers to everyone at Matt Clulee, and see you all again very soon.

    I’ve been going here for a few years now and cannot rate it more highly. Wonderful team and very personable. Matt cuts my hair perfectly every time - I have curly hair and he “gets” curly hair. Elia does the colour and again listens and executes well. James cuts my husband’s hair. In the centre of Oxford but this salon has a community feel. Highly recommend them.

    Absolutely thrilled with my Brazilian Blowout experience at Matthew Clulee Hair Spa! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and pampered. Elia was not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive, ensuring every aspect of the treatment was tailored to my hair's needs. The results? Simply stunning! My hair is now smoother, shinier, and more manageable than ever before. I can't stop running my fingers through it! The Brazilian Blowout has truly transformed my haircare routine, cutting down on styling time and leaving me feeling confident every day. I can't recommend Matthew Clulee hair spa and their Brazilian Blowout service highly enough – it's a game-changer!
