I am 32 years old now and I have been getting haircuts my entire life. I do not think that my hair has looked this well in my entire life. I'm not exaggerating just to leave a good review.

I had to cancel a few hours before appointment a few weeks ago and owner was very understanding. My…read moreson came here and asked for a mid taper. Hair longish curly on top. He tried to show Charlie a video and he didn't really even watch. He left with a high taper and didn't even cut top at all or blend sides well or line up anything. It also wasn't even when hair was pulled up, kinda messy (see pics). I had pre-paid and pre-tipped ahead. My son didn't feel comfortable saying anything because he didn't want him to make it worse. Definitely not the worst cut he's had but not the best. It's low key $15 anywhere else to just do an undercut which is basically what he left with. The shop itself is clean, busy, has free parking and a dog that greets patrons. Staff are all nice. We arrived early and waited in waiting area and he took him a few minutes early so it's not like he was rushed. Nice guy but probably won't return.

I caller first thing in the morning and scheduled an appointment at 1130. I showed up early at 1120, just in case. A few minutes after I arrived, another person arrived, also with an 1130 appointment with the same barber. It turns out the barber had forgotten to mark me on the schedule and taken a second appointment at the same time. He told me he was going to take the other customer first, and it would only be about 10 minutes. I was going to wait, but after 15 minutes I had to leave because I had other things I needed to get done on my day off. A short while later, I received this text: "Understand that im a barber. Appointments are approximate times. Not set in stone. My chair was open at 11:45. You would have still been finished by 12 noon. I book 30 min Appointments. So you walking out because your vagina was full of sand this morning is highly offensive. And next time you make a face at me will probably not wnd well for you. Have a great day. " I've never in my life seen such a blatant display of unprofessionalism as this, not even considering the low-key threat at the end of the text. I'd like to hope that the barber was just having a very bad day, as I'd never seen this kind of behavior from him before. Even so, I'll be getting my hair cut elsewhere from now on.

I had taken my sons (now both teenagers) to the basic chain salon for years. My older one asked to…read morego to certain local salon/barber. After reading the reviews of how customers felt uncomfortable with the unprofessional manner there, I searched for other options. This place came up with 5 stars so we gave it a try. There was a bit of a wait late on a Saturday morning, but they work pretty quickly. My son said the barber was friendly and he wanted to wait. On the outside it's clean and nothing fancy. Inside is clean and kept up (which is the most important). As for the job itself - it was his best haircut ever. He's very happy and said finally he got the cut he wanted - smooth and even all around (which has been a struggle in our experience). He listened to the request and delivered, all at the sweet price of $10 (half the price of the basic chain salon). I think we will be coming here for all our men's cuts now!

Don't gaslight and say 10 mins, all it does is frustrate! Haircuts are just ok. Staff is meh.

I have been meaning to go in and talk to the manager of this barbershop. I am so upset with the…read morehaircuts my brother has received and the blantent disregard they clearly have for him. I should start by saying he has Down syndrome. After the first time he received a bad haircut, I went in with him for his next cut, and spoke with the stylist to make sure she wouldn't further cut into the mistake that was clearly made by the prior stylist. At that time, his haircut was fine. The next time he went in, I was not with him. He went in alone while someone who drove him waited outside. Since he is special needs and he's not inspecting the back of his head like "normal "customers would. I did not see him for a couple of days and when I saw this was too furious to waste time on a business that would mess up a disabled mans hair repeatedly and let him walk around looking so foolish without caring. If you look at the picture attached, I don't know how any stylist would not drop the shears immediately, profusely apologize and refuse to take any payment. It is disgusting to me--not that they give bad haircuts, but--that they don't think disabled men are worthy of looking and feeling their best.

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!

I have my hair cut here several times by John and he is a true craftsmen and has always treated me with the utmost respect. The barbers here are trained and experienced and work with you to give you the cut you want, and the shop is clean, modern and has an interesting aesthetic, And on top of it all, the prices here are very fair for the quality -- only $16 for a standard cut (before tip). Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a new barber in the area.

I know some reviewers have gotten assurances that she would no longer be harassing patrons with her radical conspiracy theories and condescending political propaganda but I was there yesterday and she was cutting the hair of the gentlemen next to me and it was so uncomfortable. 2 minutes into his hair cut she flat out asked "Are you a conservative" he politely gave a neutral answer and she dove into every wacko theory under the sun starting with "Do you know that Jim Morrison never died and is actually Rush Limbaugh"? I love every other woman in there, they are great and it's such a shame that so many people are avoiding this place because of one zealot with no sense of boundaries. I fully support her right to those beliefs and if the owner supports this kind of behavior then more power to him but in a capitalist society the real voting happens with your wallet. I came for a haircut, not to be recruited into a cult. 1 star for soap box clipper and 5 stars for the rest of the crew.
