Beautiful salon/shop! Carrie is wonderful and provides an individualized cut. She was great with my child and welcoming to our family. She has years of experience with curls and it shines throughout the hair-cutting process. I'm grateful we were recommended to her because our expectations were exceeded. We walked around the three locations of the Chopshop and there are experienced professionals in so many areas of hair. If you are looking for a style done in a beautiful environment and a quality style l would recommend checking someone out at their location in the Grove. read more

First time coming here after moving from out of town. Vibe was great, atmosphere is very welcoming and Austin did an AWESOME job on my cut/fade and beard! I'm pretty particular about my hair and having both red/textured hair with waves/curls it takes a special person. Definitely found my barber in STL. Highly recommend Austin. read more

I used to come here pre-Pandemic times, and I had to move away when I didn't have a job... I was not ever able to find a stylist as good as Carrie. Part of why I was excited to move back to STL was to get my curly hair taken care of by such an expert! I came in for a looooong overdue cut, and I was pleased and surprised I was able to also get a color (initially was told I'd have to wait for the new year--she's so good, I was more than happy to wait). Once you're an established client, she will work with you and try to get you fit in, which I love and appreciate. She also carries some awesome curly hair products, which you can swing by and buy without an appointment. We always vibed, and I'm so glad to be able to be a return customer. Can't wait to come back and do even more blonding read more

Tiffany has poor communication. She rescheduled with me 2 times and had to constantly follow up with her for her to respond . I was going to give her another conscription because I did like the work she did but she never responded. I do not recommend . read more

Moving from the Bay Area in California I was a nervous wreck about finding a person that could do my hair. I opted to find a barber because my hair is much shorter now but wanted someone that kept my hair in the fauxhawk style I was opting for without trying to make it too "masculine" or "feminine". I met Mo (Morgan) at the ChopShop and honestly could not have found a more perfect barber! She is always nice and professional and I have never left her chair not absolutely loving my haircut. She trims the top perfectly and usually shaves the sides and back. Everything is always even, which is something I never got in most of the places I went in the Bay Area. Mo's amazing skills are so good that you normally have to book about two weeks out because her openings fill up fast. I will never look for another barber as long as I live in the area! read more

Chopshop is home to many different types of hair stylists. All amazing in their own way and skilled both broadly and particularly. I, for instance, have shorter hair and stick mainly to fades and barber type cuts, but this crew does everything: curly, straight, coloring, short, long...you name it! Not only are the barbers and stylists all so good at what they do, but this shop has an inclusive atmosphere. It's a beautiful and relaxing place to get cleaned up. I cannot highly enough praise Morgan, who cuts my hair. She has to be one of the best barbers in Saint Louis. I recommend her to anyone. She is professional, has years and years of experience, and is so committed to amazing work. Morgan is a fantastic listener and is attentive to the style you have in mind. She is consistently committed to her career and bettering her work. Check her out on Instagram: @_morganalyss_ . Believe me, Morgan is not alone in her expertise. Shout out to her wife, Jess, who also styles and colors the hair of so many friends. Their talent and hard work knows no end. They are an awesome team along with the rest! Everyone who is a part of Chopshop produces excellent styles for all of their clients! read more

I was excited when my stylist Nichole moved from her downtown location to ChopShop East which is closer to my house and located near so many great places to eat in the Grove! I've been going to Nichole for a couple of years and she's great. She takes her time with my long thick hair and my color is always on point. She's also great at accommodating appointments to fit your schedule. Give Nichole a try you won't regret it! read more

Jessica did my bright, rainbow galaxy hair color for my wedding last August and from beginning to end, she was an incredible colorist and human being. She spent 4 hours coloring my hair and both my husband and I absolutely Loved how it turned out! She uses PulpRiot color and it stayed in my hair so well. The color job also matched the skirt of My wedding dress and my husbands vest and bow tie. Incredible colorist and stylist! read more

Daphne and Cass are the Best! Super spot in the grove to get your top chopped...also Dax is always excited to see me when Daphne fades my hair ;) read more

The website does not make clear that Curls by Cass is not taking any additional clients. The current system with Curls by Cass is to register, provide your personal details and lodge an appointment request (complete with appointment date and time). Prospective clients then must respond to an email to indicate how they were referred, before they are informed that Curls by Cass is not taking any more clients. The system needs to be reviewed so that prospective clients aren't wasting their time with a stylist who is not taking additional clients for the foreseeable future (I tried to book an appointment four months in advance). read more

Helen and the team at ChopShop are absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, folks are kind and inviting. I appreciate this. Most importantly, Helen transforms. She listens and is brilliant at what she does. I've gone to Helen for years and as I've changed she has modified what she does for me. I cannot recommend Helen enough. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by the Curly Girl method for years in Chicago, but when I moved to St. Louis, the search immediately began for a stylist I could trust with my curls. I initially found Curls by Cass online and was discouraged by the 6 month wait for a new client appointment, but I made it anyway hoping it would be worth the wait. I was not disappointed. Cassie has a small, but beautifully decorated space inside the Loft Studios Salon and Spa building. The small space turned out to be an asset as I was able to go through the regimen of cut, wash, dry, and cut without leaving my chair. She even has the official hood dryer direct from the Devachan salon that efficiently dried my long curls without any acrobatic neck manuevers. My hair has never looked better walking out of a salon. Cassie is trained in advanced Devachan methods and was great at recommending new products for my ever changing hair texture. While the wait is sometimes frustrating for those who aren't very good at planning ahead (me...), knowing I will come out with curls I can be proud of is worth it. I've already booked my next cut! read more

BEWARE! This post is specifically about Tiffany, who I really wanted to love. She's a cool person and I love the color she did on me (which is why I didn't give one star). But this is a warning that unfortunately she's extremely unprofessional with regards to communicating and scheduling. I'm a patient person and I totally understand that life/weather happens, especially with COVID, but honestly what I've been through with her is absolutely ridiculous just trying to A) initially schedule an appointment and B) schedule a bang trim afterwards. For my first appointment, she rescheduled 3 times and it was a month from the initial appointment before I ended up getting my cut and color. There were multiple times when I texted her and she never responded until I followed up a week later. Then I contacted her for a bang trim and she rescheduled 4 times, and when I thought she had finally stuck with an appointment she straight up DIDN'T SHOW UP. I sat and waited for 20 minutes thinking maybe she was on a break and texted her multiple times, but nothing. And she never even messaged me back to apologize or explain, just totally ghosted me. It sucks because I have to pay for the bang trim if I go to another stylist when I should be able to get it from her for free, but no. Guess I'm cutting my own bangs. read more

I want to start off by saying that I completely trust Helen with cutting my hair, and I have never had a stylist like her. She knows what I like, and she gives me the hair to prove it. I am always looking to do something different with my hair, and almost every time I go to Helen(4-6weeks) I get a new hair cut, which is always fresh and exciting. Helen is always on top of the trends, and ahead of the fashion curve which I appreciate. Along with this, comes her knowledge of appropriate products for the many different types and styles of hair. Anything I would need for my hair, she sells at her salon, with an emphasis on natural hair care. I have never had a bad experience, and Helen is always friendly and easy to be around. She will make you feel comfortable because she is not just trying to make small talk to pass the time like many other stylists, but she works hard to remember me and the details of my life. I whole heartily recommend Helen to you. My wife and I both use her services, and likewise my wife feels the same! read more

Helen's amazing. I am not trustful when it comes to my hair - and Helen exudes an approachable confidence and competence that quickly set me at ease. I feel comfortable giving her any feedback, and with putting my hair in her hands completely. read more

Let me first say that I have been a member here for a while and although I claim to love a lot of places in St. Louis, I have never once been compelled to yelp about them. That all changed when I discovered the magical hairstylings of Helen Petty. As someone who has spent a lifetime engaged in an epic battle-to-the-death with my long, thick, kinky, curly, course, chunky, frizzy, unruly, crazy-nastyass janky mop-o-hair - I can tell you that I appreciate someone who knows what they're doing. I can't even get a comb through it without a 10 gallon tub of bacon grease and a lawn rake. Let's just say if I had a dollar for every time I walked into a salon, sat in the chair and heard "Giiiiirl, you got enough hair for 80 people!" or "Oh dear. You poor thing..." - I wouldn't have time to write this because I would be on a private jet to Fiji, getting my calves massaged by someone with hands like 'The Refrigerator' Perry instead of sitting at work. Where normal people attempting to cut/color my hair in the past would have started chain-smoking and downing airplane bottles of Jack 10 minutes in (please note: this has actually happened on multiple occasions), I knew from the first snip that calm, cool, amazingly talented, no-nonsense (and did I mention HILARIOUS?) Helen, my own personal Lord and Savior, was skilled enough to tame the beast inhabiting my head. I can't believe my eyes... or my hands... which seem to be wafting through my silky locks as we speak. Whoa, suddenly my room is filled with live doves and the harpist from Florence + the Machine is here and he likes my hair too and we're starring in a shampoo commercial together and Helen is there too flashing me a confident yet unassuming thumbs up. SKOOOO-ERRRRRT--What the what?! Takeaway message? Helen gave me the hair (read: LIFE) I always wanted and never thought I could have. I was so satisfied with my experience I would push a school bus full of children into a pit of boiling lava to prove my point. Needless to say, if this place ever closes down or Helen moves out of town, so help me God I will end my own life. In fact, I don't want to even tell you about it because it will just make it all that much harder to get an appointment. read more

By far the worst curly cut I have ever received!! I went to Helen for the first time in this salon about 4-5 months ago and my hair is still trying to recover! She cut my 3a curls by brushing my hair out and cutting it wet with a comb AND A RAZOR!! 2 absolute no-no's for curly hair! My hair is uneven and very frizzy from this and my curl pattern is still trying to recover. Would not recommend! read more

If you have curly/kinky hair, go to Carrie. Of the curly specialists I've tried, she's the most experienced and the most comfortable with curlier hair types (think 3C and up). She literally cuts curl by curl on dry hair, so you get to walk away with a style that actually looks good curly. She also washes, conditions, sets and diffuses, so I ended up leaving with super defined, shiny curls. She gave me tons of samples, and her prices are great, too. The con: she can be a little scissor happy. To be fair, I did go in with a style that required a lot of cutting, but I was shocked by how short my hair ended up; I'm talking waist length to above my shoulders. Once I went home and washed out some of the product and styled it myself, I loved it, but it took a while for it to grow to a length I was comfortable with. Just tell her you want to retain length, bring pictures, and you should be good; she's a really great listener. Plus, she's such a joy to be around. She's nice, hilarious, and talkative, which helped me relax and feel more comfortable. read more

Jess is a ROCKSTAR! First time here and I have now found my permanent spot! I didn't even have to explain what I wanted, she is intuitive and a professional. Jess colored my hair, cut, and styled and is a loving conversationalist. Place is clean, trendy, and Jess' prices are very reasonable. Hands down best experience I have had in my 26 years of life thus far. read more

Cassie has such an energetic and warm personality that getting your hair cut is a hoot. But to boot, she's a top notch beautician. My hair is often flatter and limper than I like, but Cass gave me an expert curly cut that had me bouncier and fuller than I've ever seen. If you have curly or even mildly curly hair, I highly recommend Curls by Cass. Your hair will thank you for it. read more

Helen Petty is an amazing stylist. She is very detail oriented and always welcoming with the friendliest of smiles. Her personality is soothing and her skills are second to none. She understands her clients desires and uses her insightful vision to create beautiful styles. I highly recommended Helen. read more

Cass is amazing! I have never been so happy with a haircut! For the first time, I actually liked my hair when the stylist was finished with it. It really helps that she has curly hair as well and so knows first hand the struggles that curly girls (and guys) face. I have had a Deva Cut before, but it was nothing compared to what she was able to do with my hair. I would definitely recommend her! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! Yes everyone that's right, 5 stars! Cass saved my curls when she introduced me to the Deva Cut & Deva Curl line. I have learned so much about my hair. I now know how to appropriately tend to my curls and they love it too! Cass' passion as a stylist is superb! She is honest, inventive, an educator, and will make you smile! That's a combination you can't pass up! Bravo Cass you are inspirational* read more

She's a genius and I hope she never leaves me. First time in years my fine curly hair has been manageable and in the STL climate that's saying something. She's got great advice on product and never pushes. She's a gem. Don't despair if she is closed to new clients, send her an email w a photo and when a client moves away you'll be able to sneak in. But then you won't ever want to see anyone else :) read more
