    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!

    Matthew is truly a master of his craft. I had never quite realised the therapeutic power of receiving (and then owning) a great haircut. I strongly recommend treating yourself to this experience; if not for your hair, then for your soul 😉

    Superb haircut by Matthew, the salon's owner — I couldn’t be happier! Truly one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. Matthew has the magic touch: professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. From start to finish, the whole experience was relaxed, uplifting, and fun. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you, Matthew — highly recommended!

    Matthew did a beautiful cut for me, I’ve had loads complements as it’s quite different from my usual. Both me and my sister love coming to see Matthew, he’s so welcoming and a lovely person which makes you feel at home in the salon. I really appreciate the sustainable products and practice's, as this is always something I look for with my life choices.

    I’ve been getting my hair done at Matthew Clulee’s for ten years and would warmly recommend this salon to anyone. You’re guaranteed a stylish haircut and finish, there’s expert advice if you want it, excellent customer service, and a warm welcome from all the staff. Matt is equally brilliant with my fussy demands and with the quieter needs of my 85-year-old mother. The prices are great, too, and the central location is a real plus. All round, a great experience :)
