Have been going to see Tran at Chops for many years. Always gives the best cut and takes his time to make sure it is what I want.

My stylist, Tran, is awesome! He has been cutting my hair for years and I tell him he can never retire. Everyone here is super friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for a new stylist or salon, give this place a try. read more

Great haircut and always very good with scheduled times. James couldn't be a nicer guy and just super-friendly, inviting vibe every time I go. read more

I love the way Jim Carmona cuts and layers my hair. I have been going to him for over 10 years and his prices have stayed reasonable (even through Covid). I used to drive all the way to Beverly Hills and pay double what he charges..and he's right here in the South Bay. read more

Kunai and his crew never fail to make you feel at home. Chops is a welcoming and professional work environment. He always double checks appointment times and considers the needs of clients first. The salon is building an ambience and client stylist relationships that might just make it this best spot in the South Bay. read more

I have had countless haircuts in the last 40 years, and I avoid going to anyone because it's normally just getting your hair cut. Today was life changing when I went and got a hair cut from Kunai, I have found my barber for life. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Kunai was respectful and professional. He gave me advice on managing my thinning hair. You can tell he cares dearly about his costumers. Greatest experience at a barber ever! We spoke about cars, hair, and Jesus! First time in my life I am excited for my appointment at MY barbers! read more

I have been going to CHOPS with Jared for several years now and can't communicate enough the friendliness and kindness of Jared. Located in the heart of North Redondo, it's easy to get to and I always look forward to them! I have frequented many salons in my lifetime and will never go anywhere else for a haircut. The vibe in the salon is excellent; and the speakeasy bespoke style of the personality behind the sheers is second to none. My seventeen-year-old is obsessed with Jared's cuts and recently did a dramatic cut that he is so excited about (dad too as it's much shorter!); Jared is wonderful and again, I can't recommend CHOPS enough! Make an appointment with him; you won't be disappointed, and he will work with you until you are completely satisfied! read more

We've been following Jared for years. He cuts my son's hair as you can see in the photos below, he cuts my hair, and he also cuts my mom's hair. He's an amazing hairstylist and can cut all the most popular and modern hairstyles. read more

Chops Hair Salon - Jared the best hair stylist ever cutting Michael's hair and trimming his beard and mustache! - Hair Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

See all

This is the greatest collection of hair professionals I've found in the South Bay. If you're fortunate to get the boss, cool but any of his other Ladies are well worth your time. I walk in looking like an out of shape, old, gray white man. I walk out looking better than Brad Pitt at 22. OK I lied but he does make me look more appealing than Heartburn. read more

This review is solely based on my interaction with Tran. I had my first appointment with him yesterday and upon meeting him I was very comfortable. He was very professional with his questions but yet he makes you feel very at ease. He makes his suggestions and he fully explains things to you. I basically told him that he could be want he felt was the best for me. Please note that I recently moved to California and I had the same stylist for 20+ years so I was nervous!!! Tran didn't disappoint me, at the end of the process, I was very happy with his work. I will definitely be seeing Tran on a consistent bases. read more

My hairdresser Lui Rodriguez recently moved to this salon. It's great!!! Easy to get to, great parking, and a lovely environment. Of course Lui is a fantastic hair dresser and he fits right in with the wonderful culture of this shop. Couldn't be happier, and Lui always makes me happy. read more

Made an appointment to have a haircut and was never told with whom. Called to rescheduled the day of and no one answered and I left a message. I called later in the day again to see if I could get a hold of someone, but no one answered. I finally got a hold of someone the next day and straight from the top, the guy that answered was extremely rude when I gave my name and explained my situation. He went off like " I don't know who you're stylist is, I've been trying to find out and I don't know, go on the website and find out who it is because I can't help you!" Not my fault the lady who scheduled me did not give me the stylist name. Then he accused me of calling several times as if I was harassing him. So ridiculous! This place is awful and they obviously do not know anything about customer services. No one even had the courtesy to call me back after I left my message. If you want to be scolded, this is definitely the place to be disrespected --I guess they make enough money to disrespect new clients. It would have been my first time and I'm glad I did not waste my money on those kind of people. read more

i've been to barbers all around the world chops himself does it the best, not just the service but h the hair cut looks incredible every time! read more

This review is for Kristy!!! I just got highlights done in my hair and I couldn't be more happy! Kristy is super personable, sweet and very attentive. I am so excited to come back in a few months to perfect the look. She did an awesome cut on me and color. I'm blonde and picky!!!! Thank you so much Kristy. read more

I've been growing out my hair for over a year, and decided to finally get a haircut. One of my friends recommended me to try out tran, a stylist at chops. I texted tran to set up my appointment and showed up about 10 minutes early, he greeted me with a smile + a joke and went straight to work! He took about 10 minutes to ask me what I was looking for and told me what the process would be, after he explained what he was going to do, I was reassured and ready. He spent an hour on my hair! His attention to detail was insane, and he made sure I left with a smile. I'll definitely be back and I'm happy that I found such an awesome person to cut my hair. Thanks again tran ! read more

Good haircuts, horrible customer service and salon appearance. I had such an good experience with Chops salon, I went to the same stylist a couple of times and then I hired her to do my hair as well as my bridesmaids hair for my wedding a couple of years ago. After that experience I called her and the salon multiple times to make an appointment with her, however I never received a call back. After 5 or so attempts I finally had to look elsewhere where they have a receptionist who actually answers the phone. The salon can also use some updating and cleaning, the tools used were noticeably dirty as well as the sinks to wash hair. read more

Well, I have been going to Tran as long as he's been at Chops, there is no one better with hair than Tran ! I knew him from the shop he worked at before Chops but he was the most popular and it was impossible to get an appointment. I saw him a few times before his move so I knew where he was going. He is so pleasant and friendly, just the sweetest guy, and talented too. If you want your hair done by the best, go to Chops and ask for Tran ! Lavona read more

I just recently started going to Shanni this past year and she really is the best! She always knows what I want and is GREAT with color! I've had a cut, color and highlights with her and I have always been 100% happy. She doesn't overlap her clients, so you won't have to wait an extra hour to get your hair done because your stylist is trying to fit in more than they can handle. You know what I'm talking about, we've all been through it. This place has a great parking lot attached to it, so it's easy to get in and out which is important. The salon is clean and has everything you need. If you're schedule is incredibly busy and you just need to get your hair done with no hassle or fuss, then try Chops! You won't be disappointed! read more

My experience at Chop's Hair Salon has been Acme! Love my hair stylist, Shanni Izumoto! Thank you for your patience as I am very finicky about my hair! I have dense, course, hard to manage Asian hair and now that I have found Shanni at Chop's I'm her customer for life! Thank you for a great experience, Miss Shanni, very personable, very professional, and I Love My Hair! read more

I had a perm and a haircut done and Vianey was excellent! I highly recommend her. She was very attentive and hard working. Her skills are amazing and she makes me feel like I'm her only client. read more

Chops Hair Salon is great ! I go to GiGi and she is great with color ,cut and hair styling. Look no further if you want a great hairstylist .GiGi will do a fabulous job. The people that work in the salon are so friendly too. A comfortable atmosphere. Five stars for Chops Hair Salon. read more

I have been looking for a salon for a long time now. I have tried 5 other spots and finally got to chops and my search is over. James the owner cut my hair and he was phenomenal. Great haircut with even better customer service. I am a customer for life now and would recommend chops to anyone looking for a top notch salon. read more

Over a year later and the haircuts by Tran keep getting better!

I've been going to Chops for years and love the atmosphere. I love Shanni... she is the BEST! Everyone there is friendly and fun, plus the environment is relaxed and always stylish. I have never had a bad experience @ Chops and would recommend any of the stylist there. They are all great!!! read more

If you have the same taste as Bernardo, he'll give you the haircut you want. If you have different taste, he'll give you the haircut HE wants. When I got home and brushed my hair out to my usual style, I realized he didn't follow my instructions at all. I asked for blended layers, but there are clearly three very distinct, stair-steppy layers. We agreed on just an inch or two of layering, but he did nearly six inches between the shortest and longest parts. I asked for my hair to be angled up toward my face, instead there's just a short chunk in the front that if anything gets slightly longer near my face. It's not that it's a bad haircut, it's just the opposite of what I asked for. read more

I first came to Chops about 3 months ago. I needed some highlights and I wanted my base color lightened all the way around. The hairstylist I had been going to in Hollywood had tried to do what I wanted and made the highlights look like huge blond streaks, not attractive at all. Enter master colorist Sandra Zislis! Sandra had told me that she could correct the challenge and make my hair look NATURAL blonde, with the highlights accenting the lighter base color. After over 27 years of WANTING my hair like it was when I was in my 20's SANDRA FINALLY did what NO OTHER COLORIST was able to do! She made my hair look NATURAL! NO ONE can tell I'm not a natural blonde, and everyone asks me 'where do you get your hair done?'. Bottom line, I wouldn't trust ANYONE ELSE to color my hair ever again, now that I found Sandra, I'm keeping her FOREVER!! Sandra Rocks! Oh, and she knows how to cut LONG HAIR too, without CHOPPING it all off. Although the name of the salon is Chops, it is nice to see Sandra is such a thoughtful hairstylist. And what a sweetheart! Sandra goes out of her way to make sure I am accommodated time wise, and if we are short on time she always has me come back and makes sure to get it EXACTLY as I want it. I am so grateful and blessed that God brought Sandra into my life, and into the life of my hair, my Gorgeous hair!! read more

I went to Bernardo and he did a FANTASTIC job on my hair. The cut and color are awesome, hip and young but not too young. I have a 2 year old and told him what I was looking for and he nailed it. I was so nervous about getting 4 inches + cut, but it needed to be done as I was LONG overdue. I haven't gotten my hair cut by a "professional" for over 10 years just chopping away over my bathroom sink. I had a VERY bad experience and was afraid to go anyone ever again. I thought, cutting it at home couldn't be worse than going out and paying somebody to screw it up. I wish I knew Bernardo 10 years ago!! Thank you Bernardo for bringing my hair back to life. I love the cut and the color and even my husband, who is very stingy on the compliments, says he loves it!! I can finally leave the household scissors for arts and crafts with my daughter. Thank you Thank You Thank You! read more

This is where I go during Fall, Winter, and Spring to get cleaned up. Awesome service here and Shanni definitely has the skills to get me from looking like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo to feelin' like a rock star with my (intentionally) messy hair do. She's always busy so I usually have to book a couple weeks in advance to squeeze a window in. read more

Someone named Jared answered the phone and was super rude when answering questions. I was looking forward to coming in but not anymore.

I went to Bernardo. I love my color and the first visit he gave me a great cut. I thought I had found my place. On my second visit I told him same color and NO haircut. I did not need one. I told him 3 times no haircut. He picked up the scissors and I asked him again. You are not cutting my hair? He said no just a tiny trim . When he was all done I asked him what I owed him and he quoted me $10 more then my last visit. I told him and he dropped it back down and then I asked him if he was charging me for the trim the same price as my haircut the time before and he said yes. So I got ripped off. I told him 3 times no hair cut. He does it and then charges me. I will never go to him again. I can not trust him...... read more

I am sorry to hear how many negative reviews Bernardo received -he no longer works there. With that being said - Chops is great! My boyfriend gets his hair done here and it always looks amazing! James is his stylist - he is meticulous in his cuts and color! (really what he does with color is pretty amazing)! read more

Bernardo, where have you been all of my life?!?! I walked in without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon and Bernardo told me he was available in 45 minutes. I came back in 30 min and he was ready for me. He stayed late just for me! I love my haircut. It is trendy, yet easy to style. My search has ended. I found my new stylist at Chops. Thank you Yelp! read more

Being a girl with curly hair can be more than frustrating at most times, so finding a great salon that can accommodate my needs has been tough. Chops salon is my number one go to when it comes to needing a good hair cut, blow out, highlight, dye you name it! Love the staff, Gigi is by far my fav , great environment and would recommend it to anyone! read more

James is the best. I drive from all over to get haircuts from him. You can't beat the service and quality anywhere. Also very reasonably priced. Save money and get your hair done the right way. read more

My second visit to Chops Hair Salon was neither disappointing nor wavering in expert service or genuine friendliness. As a quintessential beach girl who spends a lot of time under the sun/playing in the sand and among the waves, my hair understandably takes a beating from the salty elements. Dryness, split ends--you get the idea. So I go and see James for a K-Pack Treatment and it's like miracle grow for my hair...he works the vitamins (and whatever other goodness is in that potion) into my locks, combs it all through, then puts it in a braid so that my hair can really soak it all up. The whole process takes 10, maybe 15 minutes, and it's up to you to decide how long you'd like to keep the K-Pack in your hair before rinsing out. I kept it in for 24 hours, and I can't tell you how amazing my hair felt. I kid you not: when I went to style my hair, it actually listened to me. My hair--from roots to top--felt amazingly soft and nourished for several days afterwards. It's like a detox for your scalp. I've decided to return to Chops every 1-2 months to keep my hair feeling fresh all year long...it's that beneficial. I hope you enjoy your visit to this unassuming and amazing salon! read more

Great hair salon. The owner is friendly and does a great job. I called in as they were shutting down and they stayed open for me since I was close by. I came in and got a great haircut. I recommend. read more

I've only had cuts done here but Shanni has been great! She's super friendly and always seems to run on time. I feel like she really listens to you to make sure you get what you want. She's also great with kids - my 5yr old loves her and he hates getting his hair cut! Easy-to-find location with a private parking lot. read more

Gigi is wonderful. She did my hair a vibrant red in October. She also did my moms hair for her wedding. She is my go to. Absolutely love her

I've been going to Chops for years now and Kerry has cut my hair. She takes the time to straighten out my naturally wavy hair, which makes it fun for me to run my fingers through. She gives me haircuts that get compliments! Yay! Kerry is funny, down-to-earth, and very reliable. The other stylists there, Christie and Rosanne, are friendly and nice too! read more

Went here as an upgrade from our usual super cuts. Shanni did an amazing job on my husbands hair, and it was quick. Unfortunately the prices aren't listed online or ahead of time, (they were posted on the mirror) so we were a little surprised to hear it was $35. She deserves it, she did great work. I just wish I knew the price point before walking in. read more
