Celebrity Hairstylist · Founded OREL 2025
"To me it's not just about cutting, colouring or styling hair. It's about giving a message, an act of love — respecting and paying attention to the person before me."
Oray Oz is an internationally acclaimed hairstylist from Izmir, Turkey. He began his professional training at seventeen, going on to train with some of the biggest names in the industry, including L'Oréal, Wella, Toni & Guy and Dessange Paris. His career began in Istanbul, training under Turkey's most respected stylists, before he took his craft to London, working at one of the best-known salons in Chelsea and several respected names across Mayfair and Central London. More than two decades on, his work has taken him across editorial shoots, backstage at fashion weeks and red carpets on five continents.
His distinctive, individual style has created a real buzz in the industry, establishing a signature look entirely his own. Alongside his gift for creating striking, wearable hairstyles, Oray is also recognised as an exceptional colourist, a rare combination to find in one stylist. He has styled top fashion editors and international celebrities, and his work appears in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He has been cited twice in GLAMOUR on the season's colour trends, and is also featured in the Daily Mail, Marie Claire UK, Luxury London, Gentleman's Butler, Netmums and PBL Magazine, the UK's leading trade publication for hairdressing professionals. His hair trend predictions have also reached international audiences, syndicated in Poland by RMF FM.
His passion and innovative approach to hairdressing have earned him a following of clients that spans high-profile celebrities, royal families and VIPs across the globe, alongside a loyal roster of regular clients who return to him time and again — Oray also travels internationally to work with clients wherever they are. Key to his success is a belief in not relying solely on passing trends, but on the pure energy and inner confidence that give his work its edge.
"I created OREL for those who value artistry, discretion and world-class care. Every client who sits in our chair deserves to leave feeling transformed."
