Finally, someone who can cut short hair in this town

by sfrunner70

I discovered Darin a couple years ago, when I first moved to LA. Since that time, I haven't gone anywhere else for a cut. He's one of the few people who can cut short hair and give it some shape. Plus, the rotating gallery of artwork is always interesting and lively.

Helen Rocks...

by yuhjah

Helen Is the best hairstylist in L.A.. In response to NTheKnow. Usually when people are concerned about the price they ask. If you don't ask it's your loss and you should pay whatever the service is. May It be a lesson learned.

Helen is the best

by TessZ

Helen is awesome and she's been cutting my hair for over 10 years. I followed her to Chop Chop from her last salon and I've always had great work from her. People stop me on the street to comment on my great haircut.

Go to Chop Chop and ask for Helen! You will not be disappointed.

  • Pros: does what is best for the client, cool art, and ice tea!
  • Cons: none!

unjustified comment

by lalaz

I'm the one that cut his hair and I want to tell my side of the story. At any point in the consultation he should have not agreed to me blending in the sides of his hair and cutting into the top of his hair. My prices are $95 and I gave him a 50% discount. He should have come out and said is this going to be free? Then I wouldn't of wasted my time to give him a haircut. In the 15 years of me cutting hair, I've never been accused of burning someone's sideburns.

  • Pros: love the salon
  • Cons: none

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE!!!

by NTheKnow

Walked in asking for a sideburn trim. Walked out with a 50$, "discounted" bill. Called the owner, Darin, to ask what happened between my asking for a 5 second procedure and leaving with a hefty tab. He told me I looked "pretty" and if I wanted a simple cut I should have gone to my "regular girl."

PS: The cut is horrific!! Helen murdered my sideburns. My photo shoot tomorrow is going to be a disaster thanks to this greedy "salon" owner and his no-talent hair burning staff.
