    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.

    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 been going to Mathew Clulee since I was living in Oxford, and even after moving to Birmingham, I still drive 78 miles specifically for him to cut my hair. That alone says everything about the trust and confidence I have in him. Mathew is not just an excellent hairdresser — he really understands what suits you, listens carefully, and consistently delivers results. Every visit feels personal and professional, and I always leave.
