I was curious of why he gets so many great reviews and hopeful at the same time. He was amazing. I've never seen hands move so fast And so accurately before in my life.

He was a very pleasant person to chat with a little bit and he's very safe by making sure that he's got his mask on while he's working because he's in contact with a lot of people through the day. I would definitely recommend this place to people that needed a haircut in the area.

Truly loved connecting and laughing about all the things! I also appreciate your expertise and thorough job with my cut, color, and look. I received so many compliments at the event ~ the color is incredibly vibrant, and my hair is still shining post-wash. From the moment I stepped into Chop Salon, the service was absolutely wonderful ~ check in/out was a breeze, and even during wait times for color to process, there were ample snack/drinks to munch/sip on. Appreciate the good tunes and really just the overall vibe of this salon. It feels cozy, but also hip and comfortable. I don't have pricing to compare to, but overall I left feeling both impressed and excited to return soon for a salon in the EB I can trust/feel welcome in. Street parking available and fyi, they ask guests to also park in the (old) Marshall's parking lot for overflow and not across the street in AutoZone.

Checkout their website to learn more about their values as a gender-free, inclusive, and fee transparency salon. Greatly appreciated not having to guess if I would feel welcome or what I could budget for. Rocky did a fabulous job with consultation, walking me through the steps, and executing a great cut and color plan! I already have my second appointment booked and am very excited for my hair journey with Rocky. All the stylists were super kind and the space was so inviting by having water, snacks, and wider chairs for clients. It felt very accommodating. Also, super queer and LGBTQIA+ friendly! You've got to come here and feel the magic!

Y'll. This review is purely based on the lovely AMY cutting my hair for more than 10 years !!…read more || Amy || Bless this lovely woman because I honestly can't go to anyone else. I've tried venturing out to other hair dressers/salonists, but their haircuts just don't hit the same as Amy's. She's so kind, meticulous, cares about the type of style/haircut you want/how you want it to grow out, knows the importance of each individual's hair texture and how the haircut will look, etc. You know how some hair dresser's haircuts can be a hit or miss depending on the day ... well Amy's haircuts ALWAYS make me feel fabulous after. Also to note, my haircuts from Amy always grow out really nicely !! Not only does your hair look great after the fresh haircut, but throughout the course of its growth before it's time for your next one! I clearly can't rave enough about Amy. Apologies that I've never tried getting a haircut from other hairdressers here, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? I don't play when it comes to my haircuts, and Amy's where it's at ! :) Thank you so much Amy! Not to mention, haircuts are only $25 (as of 4/14/21) here !! SO worth.

A week ago I went there for a permanent hair straight guess what happened once I reached home I found my hair was damaged, not only that after few days my hair started falling off not a few a bunch "falling falling" for a second I was so scared seeing my hair falling it was like a "cancer patient hair falling" and it's still falling.... Right now I am doing a hair massage 3 times a week to save my hair for falling. I am praying to god that I won't be a "BOLD" I can sue them but that's not me but I want people to be aware of this place and please try to avoid.. just to save some money I went there but people please please "DO NOT GO HERE" 2) the lady who did my hair told me it's $150 than later she said $200 but I was fine and I also mentioned it's ok $200 but please do a good job. There is lots of fishy going out at this place once I was done I went to pay I see a big payment machine where they accept all the " payment cards" but guess the lady told me to pay with cash where I didn't carried and than she told me to go to the next door store to cash out money and pay her. So I had to cash out and pay her $$$$$ A lot of bad vibes out there "I WANT MY HAIR BACK" "PEOPLE WATCH OUT "BE AWARE Doesn't not deserve single "star one star because I can't post my review without giving a star

I was stoked for her! But since then, I've been adrift and searching for my hair match, trying out a new stylist for each cut. (My hair is fine but wavy with a weird cowlick, so it needs just the right layers. I had some great cuts and some so-so cuts, but never the right combo of close enough, a decent amount of availability that I'm not waiting months or driving across the bay, AND a great cut.) I tried Mark at Maru on a random rec from a friend whose daughter works at the salon--and after one cut, I feel like my search is over! The salon is very well-run and had an opening within a couple weeks. I arrived on time, was offered herbal tea, and waited under five minutes. It's in a nice spot in Berkeley with plenty of street parking with pretty cheap meters--$4. Mark asked me what I was looking for, got it right away, and was of course fun to chat with. I walked out with a cut I love for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back!

My stylist, Shawn, led me through to the second area of their salon which was cool and was so detailed about doing my hair. I've never had a stylist so precise and who really took great care in making sure everything was even and cut in exactly the way I wanted. I showed him one photo, and my hair looked exactly like it after. It was definitely the longest haircut I've had and pricey as I'm not used to Bay Area prices just yet, but honestly, so worth it.

I asked for acrylic dip removal and a gel manicure + regular varnish pedicure. She was SO gentle with the pedicure! I was extremely relieved and impressed when I saw how meticulous she was when cleaning and trimming my toe nails. I don't have crazy hang nails but I've been experiencing discomfort while walking from previous pedicures. The other times, the nail tech would be aggressive when digging into the nail beds and pumicing my feet. Demi was very gentle while pumicing and gave me very clean french tip. It's been a few weeks now and I definitely feel better walking! My gel manicure was very simple due to the time constraint. Demi did her best to remove as much as the acrylic dip powder while reshaping my natural nail. The full set came out pretty but I did noticed a few of my nails veer to the left or right instead of them being straight. It's a small oversight but it is something I can't unsee.
