    Delighted with my experience at Mathew Clulee today. 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.

    What an excellent team .At very short notice ,Matthew and his team moved heaven and earth to make time for my daughter to have her hair prepared for a family wedding the next day Not only were they kind and compassionate they were so professional and she looked fabulous I have been coming to this saloon for many years and cannot recommend it highly enough. They are so inclusive and understanding of ALL woman which is why my daughter chose to come here, having not been to a hairdresser for so many years. She felt comfortable, really listened to and had “ at last “ found someone who really knew how to manage curly hair Thank you so much

    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.

    Matthew did my wedding day hair. I have curly hair which is prone to frizz and was looking for a hair dresser who could do a natural look for me that would simply bring out the best in my curls without blow drying everything straight and recurling. Matthew achieved just that using curl products and a curl brush and styled it into a nice half up half down with flowers which held all day. He was also a calming presence on the morning of the big day and his team did a great job styling other members of the bridal party (mix of curly hair up and blow dries). Highly recommend !

    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!

    I came to Matt after a very bad colour experience at another salon after moving to Oxford. My hair was in a bad state. Colour awful and falling out in clumps. Matt was so kind and helpful. After nearly a year with the salon The colour is now amazing and thru the suggestions of product its re growth is fantastic. I have honestly never been so happy with my hair. I simply love nashi product as well. Cannot recommend highly enough. All colourists there are fab.
