Yelp.com Review - by Emily P.

4.0 of 5 stars. Tons of bang for the buck - I've had good luck with the chop shop. $10 has bought me cuts that were awesome and a few that were not as awesome but still cute. I think you'll do fine if you go in with…

Could go either way...

I know people who have had their hair "chopped" (as in butchered) at this place. I myself have gotten two really good haircuts here. If you're on a budget, the price is right. But if don't have a mont

VERY NICE STYLISTS, BUT VERY RUDE RECEPTIONIST

I HAVE BEEN TO THE CHOP SHOP ON MANY OCCASIONS AND MAJORITY OF THE TIME ITS BUSY AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT. MOST OF THE HAIR STYLISTS ARE VERY ATTENTIVE TO WHAT YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR AND DO A GOOD JOB ....

Cheap Price = Cheap Cut

I tried the chop shop on the recommendation of a friend. I thought, hey, for 10 bucks it's worth a shot. I simply walked in right off the street and they took me after about 10 minutes. Nice atmosphere and...
