The Chop Shop

I went for the first time yesterday. I have it a 3 because I had to wait 45 minutes to get an edge when I was the only one waiting and they had like 3 empty chairs. When I arrived barber’s were actually getting and left and never asked if I was getting a quick cut or not.
The place is semi clean, really dusty. Dust every where!
The guy Erin I believe cut my hair. He did alright. I would let him edge me again. It was like he scared to edge me up. His clippers wasn’t sharp, very dull too me! Even with the razor he is very very very light handed.
If I do I would let this other guy Kevin edge me, I saw him did someone and he did a great job!

The chop shop did it again those homies get down mid fade to the skin now im ready for a night of sin thanks to the cop shop gracias

Barbers only take walk-​ins between the appointments and sometimes take walk in customers from having so many friends walk in.
Expect a wait of 45min at minimum unless you have an appointment, I never knew men had hair appts I thought that was just for my girl. Oh well. I prefer a normal barber shop like where I grew up.
If you wait around long enough like I did this one time, you’ll eventually get a good haircut.

So I’ve been here twice, and I have to say it’s not my favorite place to get my haircut. The cut is well enough, and will do if you are at a last resort. They’re wait isn’t long and the barbers are. friendly as far as I can see. Now for the bad: The place is completely cluttered. The waiting area consist of two to the dirty chairs next to a non-​functioning pool table. There’s always hard core music blasting.
Ex:Last time I was there they were blasting bring em out by Ti and Hood mentality by ice cube. Nothing against the music personally, but when you’re hearing lyrics such as, ‘f*** school nig** I’m gonna be a dope dealer!’ it definitely creates an atmosphere that doesn’t exactly say family friendly. The price is a bit excessive too. I came in for a trim of the beard and a cleaning of the sides and got charged almost 30 $. Was it worth it? Answer: I’ve been to worse places.

These guys are just the best! There’s a very good reason that they’re always busy. I trust them with not only my own hair, but that of my sons as well. If you’re in the Covina area, look no further… you will get a great cut at a fair price.

Boyfriend came home and I checked out his head and the back was HORRIBLE looked like if someone cut his hair in the dark. Sure wasn’t worth 14 $

The owner and the food here is really wonderful. I would recommend their chicken Hainen and they deserts. The Asian cashier is so friendly, love her service!

This place is great, a nice shop with VERY talented barbers. My guy is Josh (last station in corner across from fish tank & sofas) HE’S AMAZING. He cares about YOU and delivers precisely what you ask for. He checks in with you during the cut and I love his relaxed but still professional demeanor. He knows you have places to be so he gets to work, but his vibe and conversation makes you feel like you’re at home. There only downside is that it takes a while to be seen, but that’s with any shop. You can call ahead and for an extra cost, be put on an appointment que, gets you in and out faster. GO SEE JOSH he kills anything, fades, tapes, blow outs, designs, line ups. Tell him The StonerVixen sent you! ;-)

This place is awesome! They always have plenty of barbers, and they all cut hair great! I was referred by my uncle that has been a client for YEARS. so i thought id try it, and its safe to say they are all great at cutting hair. And customer service is awesome!

Been getting my cut with the same barber for about 2yrs now. Yesterday I had an unfortunate situation with my bank account and couldn’t withdrawal any cash. Txd my barber and asked as a favor to give me a haircut and I would pay him back the next day. The reason I asked was because him and I grew a good relationship so I felt comfortable asking him for that. To my surprised his response wasn’t what I expected. No doubt some barbers are only in this for the money which I understand. I mentioned this to my wife and she was pretty upset so she recommended I check out The Chop Shop. At first I was a bit hesitant about it. Long story short decided to stop by and hope for the best. I’m very picky with my cut and expect the best and freshest look.
I walked in and to be honest wasn’t impressed. No one greeted me nor pay attention it almost seemed as if I wasn’t important. I sat down and told myself If I don’t get greeted or noticed Ima walk out in the next 10min. As I was getting inpatient RIGO came over and asked me if I needed a cut. Sat down took of my hat and the first thing he said was «ohh yeah a comb over» I knew that meant he enjoys doing comb overs. Bottom line this shop surprised me. Friendly atmosphere these guys enjoy doing what they do. I got positive suggestions to make my cut look better from 2 other barbers which was pretty awesome being my first time there. I also met Rick (or ricki) whom I believe is the owner, cool friendly guy. I will be back next week for sure. If ur looking for a fresh, clean comb over cut ask for Rigo he got down and my wife loved it as well

Best barber shop in SGV! My grandson 1.6 mos. old was taken care of by Ernie and Ernie was super fast yet detailed and patient with baby. Kai has received many compliments so thanks Ernie & The Chop Shop :)

I’ve been to the chop shop maybe 4 times. It is my last resort when I don’t want to drive all the way to east LA. The barbers are not friendly at all, they’d rather talk to people they know rather than gain the friendship and loyalty of a new customer. Every time I’ve been to the chop shop I’ve had different barbers, and they are all the same. They need to learn good customer service.
The chop shop needs to also clean out those old video games, or clean them up and get them working. It’s cluttered and there is no place to sit down, I had to stand because most of the chairs are hidden behind the pool table close to the front entrance where some of the barbers can’t see you.
I give them 3 stars because although they lack on cleanliness, and customer service, they pay great attention to detail on your hair. It takes a while but after they’re done, I’m satisfied with how my hair looks.

Awesome welcoming barber shop

Very fast clean work. Didn’t have to shower right away after which I like.
I’ll be back

My boyfriend comes here all the time. Ask for Izzy, he’s the best! Super friendly and a nice a guy. :)

This place is on point with haircuts. Everyone there takes pride in their work and make sure it is done right the first time. Definitely the place to check out when you are looking for a new barber. Appointments can be made if you don’t want to wait, a lot of guys have appointments so don’t expect to get in and see you usual barber every time with no wait if you don’t have an appointment.

Love taking my son here to get his hair done. Always comes out looking handsome! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t found a barbershop to go to.

My favorite place to get a good looking clean haircut. Rick is good and so are the rest of the barbers. I recommend the shave for those who are looking to clean up their beards. Walk out looking like a boss

If you want a gentle mans hair cut like the dude on Mad men don’t come here. The guy jacked up my hair. I wanted a scissor cut and her gave me a razor taper. Wtf. I even showed him a pic of what I wanted. Only come here if you want a taper or fade with clippers. Horrible.

I have been bringing my son here for over a year now. I wanted to find a «man’s» place for him so I wouldn’t subject him to the «girly» salon that me and my daughters go to. I was looking for a reasonably priced barber and found this place on Unilocal.
When I first walked in, I thought to myself «mancave». The shop is deco in black with «tool boxes» used as the equipment stations. I was a bit skeptical that this place might be too «manly» for my pre-​teen son, with tattoo magazines laid out for reading material and posters of scantily dressed girls on the walls, but this place is very reasonably priced and the barbers/​stylists do an awesome job. They are always polite, acknowledge you when you walk through the door and make sure that they make the rounds.
This place gets really busy at times. Occasionally you will get the «regular» customer that comes through the door and gets serviced right away, but I think they have appointments for specific barbers/​stylist. It’s posted that appointments are available; appointments are charged a little bit more. I brought my son in last week and the charge for a haircut was around $ 13 or 14 dollars; very reasonable.
These guys know what they are doing. They have no problem delivering on my instructions, even whey my instructions are a bit vague, lol. My son always come out with a great cut.
When I bring him in, we just see the first available barber/​stylist to make the wait faster. There are a lot of customers that will wait for specific barbers/​stylists; they have their faves. But everyone that has taken care of my son, has done an excellent job. He has NEVER had a bad haircut from here.
We moved from West Covina to Monrovia and I tried a new place in Monrovia. Big mistake. They butchered my son’s hair. Never again! I will take the drive from Monrovia to La Puente to make sure my son gets a good haircut. Besides, my son likes this place… its now «his» place to go to… no more girly salons for him.

Bf and I were going to be taking our engagement pics yesterday and, because I was SOOO beautiful, he felt he needed to spruce up his hair or something. He used Imperial Pomade before, but couldn’t find it in too many places. We were near West Covina, he called up Chop Shop once he realized it was a distributor, and they said that they did have it!
So, we putt-​putt our way over there. It’s a small business center, but it’s not too bad in terms of parking. The bf walked in, while I stayed outside because I didn’t want to intrude. The place (from just the front) exuded this sort of sense that it was a man’s world in there. So, I let the men be, and stayed outside, playing on my phone.
From what the bf could tell me (as well as other Unilocal reviews), this place is legit. Staff was pretty awesome/​cool, and they didn’t try to upsell the pomade.
Overall, good place. :)
