I came to Chop Shop on a whim. It was a Friday, I didn't really need a haircut, but I was bored, so…read moreI decided to get one. All the usual barbers in Providence were booked, so I logged onto Yelp to see if there were any decent places nearby. And that's how I came across Chop Shop. Appointments are only accepted on Tues/Weds/Thurs, which relieved me of my anxiety about being turned away as a walk-in. I arrived around 9:45 AM, and there was ample street parking. The shop itself was spacious and clean with a no frills decor. I was immediately seated by a barber, John. John is a man of few words, but is extremely attentive. He asked me what kind of cut I wanted, I answered, and he asked a few clarifying questions. Of the small talk we had, John mostly responded with a protracted, unimpressed "uh huh", but I didn't mind that. It was clear he was involved in the details of my cut. While cutting my hair, he didn't answer phones or respond to any messages, which is all too common at most barber shops, and I greatly appreciate that. In the end, John not only gave me a high-quality cut, he gave me the haircut I asked for. This haircut would easily run me $30 in Providence, but I was only charged $16. I wish I had known about Chop Shop sooner!

Had an incredible experience at Skip's Barbershop in Providence. Went in for the Executive Service…read more($150) as a treat for launching my own company and switching gears professionally. The Executive Service consisted of a haircut, facial cleanse, and hot towel straight-razor shave. The experience was luxurious and Jerry the barber was outstanding. First of all, the shop is incredibly nice. There's ample street parking and the place is spacious, new, and feels like a mix of a classic barbershop with modern amenities. I liked how clean the place is. Each barber's station and the entire floor was pretty spotless. Jerry, the barber, was very friendly and a great conversationalist. I enjoyed the 90 minutes we spent together chatting. With regard to the haircut, I felt like there was great care taken with every detail. It wasn't as if I was being put through an assembly-line haircut. It was deliberate, careful, and done in steps to get everything from the fade, to the lines in the back, and around the forehead and sideburns right. When we started to get into the "spa" part of the Service, I was put back in the chair, given a hot towel, and then given a facial cleanse which was put on by one of these sonic scrubbers. Face felt unbelievably smooth and clean afterward. The straight-razor shave was equally excellent. There were at least two more hot towels involved, a careful straight-razor shave, an electric razor to make sure everything was hit, and nice-smelling after shave products, which helped soothe everything right away. If you want to splurge on yourself but not go to a traditional spa, this is the service for you. I highly recommend it. I was in and out in 90 minutes, which helps for the work schedule, but was enough time to feel like you were "treating yo self." Highly recommend!

He better be friggin Vidal Sassoon or something... Let my beezed head get ridiculous, called to see if they were busy. Luckily went in there were 4 barbers, 4 open chairs..they must do a round robin for the next clip. Another reason I dont like barbershops is when you get an interview from the barber as to who you are and what you do. Dude just concentrated on the cut, and one of the better ones I've had since my barber retired. In this case, it was just cool to hear the banter between the 4 youngish barbers, my barber was in the military and did a great job on the overgrown mess I walked in with. The area needed a good barbershop for a long time, this is it. Sorry, I don't give 5 stars unless I'm somehow amazed, but would recommend.

My kid doesn't take the mechanised hair cutters well and just as do with supercuts, asked for a 'all scissors' one. However the response was "if I was using scissors, I would be doing it all day'. Now for the head the size of a coconut, if a barber takes all day, I would doubt the skill of the barber. I can understand if the barber has a sign announcing 'no kids'.
