My 7 year old daughter wanted her long hair cut short and had a certain style that she wanted. Well it turned out perfect! Paul was amazing and so good with explaining everything to me and my daughter. We will definitely be returning. Penny is absolutely over the moon with her new cool hairstyle, thanks Paul

I’ve been coming to CHOPP for about 6 months now. As always I had brilliant service in what is a lovely relaxing salon. Leah is my regular stylist but have also had Reece and Ophelia when Leah wasn’t available. There’s a lovely vibe in the salon and I’ve always been more than happy with the cuts and colour I’ve had. This has included a complete colour correction and restyle. Friendly and professional service which I cannot recommend enough. I also like the sustainability element that the salon is championing. Thanks guys. See you again in 6 months ??

Since the time iv been getting my haircut from Paul iv never been happier with the way I feel about my hair. Paul, along with the other stylists in Chopp don't just cut your hair, they know exactly what's best for your type hair. They go above and beyond any expectations you might have for a Top quality hairdresser. Worth every penny you spend in there because you and your hair would have never felt so clean, fresh and healthy. I would recommend Chopp Hair to anyone who wants a decent haircut that stands out from the majority of people who get there hair cut from the one of many barbers scattered all over the place. This is a proper salon, not just in and out ready for the next customer. Thanks Chopp for keeping me looking great for the last year. I will be using Paul for as long as I possibly can.

So I decided to embark on a journey to grow my hair, I came to Paul 6 years ago to cut off my long locks, and have been super happy with my hair, so not sure why I tried to persist in growing it for the past 5 months! Anyway I started to feel very unlike myself, so after a panicked call to Paul, can you get me back to me!! In one Chopp he got me back again!! Thanks Paul, we tried, but it seems you found the perfect style for me when I met you all the time ago! Hairdresser for life!! #chopp #paulphillips

I have been coming to Chopp for about 18 months now and am never disappointed.
From the first appointment Reece took the time to understand what I wanted and that first cut was exactly what I wanted despite me being unable to quite articulate it!

The reception is always friendly, the staff can’t do enough for you.

Excellent service every time and I would highly recommend Chopp to everyone.

What can I say!? I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else! Before I started going to Chopp (many years ago!) hairdressers I had been to, were “offish”, didn’t want to work with my curly hair and basically wanted me to look the same as everyone else! - and that was both locally and in London!

Reece from day one has never been like that! He offers advice, he inspires and he also thinks of things I never would! Chopp are welcoming, treat you like a friend and each visit is just a lovely few hours!

Couldn’t rate the hairdressers or Reece himself any higher!

There is a wonderful relaxed and friendly vibe from the moment you walk in.
