About OREL

More Than a Salon.
A Place Where Luxury Feels Personal.

Luxury isn't defined by chandeliers or designer interiors. It's defined by how you're welcomed, how carefully you're listened to, and how confidently you leave.

Our Story

A Dream Built Around People,
Not Just Hair.

After more than two decades working in luxury salons, fashion editorials and alongside an international clientele, our founder, Oray Oz, recognised something that would shape the future of OREL. The highest standards of artistry, service and attention were often reserved for celebrities, public figures and editorial productions.

He believed they shouldn't be. Exceptional hair should never be exclusive. Every woman deserves to feel listened to. Every client deserves time. Every appointment deserves care.

That simple belief became the foundation of OREL. Not another luxury salon, but a place where every guest receives the same level of expertise, precision and personalised attention that has shaped Oray's international career.

The Journey

Two Decades in
the Making.

The Beginning

Izmir & Istanbul.

Oray's career began in Izmir, Turkey, where he started his professional training at seventeen. He went on to train in Istanbul with L'Oréal, Wella, Toni & Guy and Dessange Paris, under Turkey's most respected stylists.

The Editorial Years

International Fashion Work.

Editorial shoots, backstage at fashion weeks and red carpets across five continents. His work appears in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

Two Decades of Craft

A Discreet International Clientele.

More than twenty years serving clients who value precision, privacy and quietly elevated beauty, across London, Paris, Milan and Miami, including a following of celebrities, royal families and VIPs.

2025

OREL Opens in Knightsbridge.

A family-run luxury salon at 23 Walton Street, moments from Harrods, built on one belief: exceptional hair should never be exclusive.

Inspired by Family

Built on Trust.

As an independent family business, we believe the best relationships are built over time. Many of our clients have trusted us for years, returning not only for beautiful hair but for the comfort of knowing they are genuinely understood.

We take time to learn your lifestyle, your hair history, your personal style and your goals. Every recommendation is made with honesty, never pressure. Every service is tailored to you rather than following trends for the sake of fashion. For us, luxury isn't about excess. It's about making every guest feel welcomed, valued and completely at ease.

Oz.

Founder & Creative Director

With over twenty years of international experience, Oray Oz has built a reputation for creating naturally beautiful, healthy hair through precision, creativity and an uncompromising attention to detail. His career has taken him through some of the world's most respected salons, luxury hotels and fashion projects, where he has worked with celebrities, international clients and leading beauty professionals.

Known for his expertise in luxury colour, balayage, bespoke blonding, keratin treatments and hair transformations, Oray believes that great hair should always complement the individual rather than overpower them.

"Beautiful hair should enhance confidence, not define it."

Today, every service and every member of the OREL team reflects the same commitment to excellence, ensuring each guest experiences the same standard of care that has become synonymous with his work.

Our Philosophy

Luxury Without Pretence.

At OREL, luxury isn't about formality. It's about thoughtful details.

Taking time instead of rushing.

Listening before advising.

Creating bespoke colour instead of following formulas.

Protecting the health of your hair before chasing trends.

Making every guest feel comfortable, respected and genuinely cared for.

We believe beauty should feel effortless. Natural. Timeless. Personal.

The OREL Experience

Every Appointment Begins
with a Conversation.

We listen carefully, understand your lifestyle, your routine and your aspirations before creating a look that complements both your features and your personality. Using carefully selected professional products, advanced colouring techniques and personalised treatment plans, we focus not only on how your hair looks today, but how healthy it will remain for months to come.

Whether you're visiting us for a signature balayage, expert colour correction, luxury hair extensions, a restorative treatment or a complete transformation, our promise never changes. You will never feel like just another appointment. You will always be treated as our guest.
