I've been going to Lisa's Chop Shop for a couple years now. I think the best way to describe going there is that they work hard to make it an experience. Mainly I've had my hair cut by Lisa, but everyone I've gone to is easy going, interesting and fun to chat with. Lisa in particular has an amazing energy and is thoughtful, curious and inspiring, so I always feel reinvigorated after my hair cut. They do a good job of customer service and will not only call to remind you of your appointment, but will reach out periodically to ask you a week later how their service went. I wish more businesses did that. Oh right, the cut is also pretty spot on. read more

It's not every day that a hair cut becomes an experience that you want to talk about to everyone you know... well, today that changed for me. If you are looking for an opportunity to chill out, have a great conversation and get an awesome hair cut at the same time, look no further than the Chop Shop! Give Lisa or her crew a call next time you are looking for a hair cut, styling or the works and you'll have the best time you've ever had sitting in a salon chair. I know I did (and most importantly, being the dude that I am, I was sad when it was done... I didn't want to leave)... Enjoy! (and be sure to tell @ChopShop_Lisa I sent ya ;-) read more

I stumbled into this place and ended up getting the best haircut and beard trim I've had in a long while! This place is a legit barbershop. Sabba, the owner, was awesome, super friendly, and had great attention to detail. He is the epitome of a small business owner who puts passion and effort into his craft that you just don't find elsewhere. I would definitely recommend this place and will come here again the next time I'm in Vancouver. read more

Good service, good haircut, good vibe. I came without a booking and the hairdresser made sure that I would have a haircut in a very short term. Would recommend to anyone visiting in need of a quick and good quality haircut. read more

Jesse ruined my hair. An amateur bleach job by my stylist lead to such an extreme amount of breakage that my hair began falling out in clumps. I lost 50% of my volume and length, and was forced to cut my mid-back length hair to a shoulder length. $600 spent at the salon on one job, and one month later I've chopped it all off. I've been denied any kind of refund or compensation. Lisa wont even compromise by giving me some free product to nurse my hair back to health. I am devastated. Customer service was so incredibly poor. There was no attempt made to help me, except a free $10 brush that they told me not to use in the end due to the extent of damage. Dont go to this salon. And DO NOT go to Jesse (@Bellaflor_xo on Instagram) read more

I have been going to Britt at @ Chop Shop for about a year now! After a long search for a stylist who wasn't too scared to make my hair the colour I was asking for, I finally found Britt and she finally gave me the Little Mermaid hair colour I'd been wishing for, for so long! She takes the time and patience to make sure it's exactly the colour you want, she's a pleasure to chat with and her eclectic mix of Hollywood Glam and Punkish style makes spending the 4 hours it takes to transform my head go right by! This new franchise location (the first one!) is down-to-earth and full service. The owner Lisa is an alum from the old Granville Street location; she is tough as nails and as beautiful as her new store. You're sure to get an extremely warm welcome and amazing service! I cannot recommend this salon enough! read more

Everyone that works here is super friendly! I got my haircut from Britt. All you have to do is tell her to just do what looks good & she'll do it. Also, HEAD MASSAGE. Pretty awesome. The shop has some cool art/murals inside and it's in a nice central spot, close to the skytrain, etc. read more

I had a difficult time finding a hair stylist that I clicked with. By click with I mean: understand me, understand my hair and understand how to blend those while making me look like a million bucks and making me feel at ease with down to earth chat. The environment/feel of the salon has a big impact too, but I'd tough through alot if I found the best stylist. I had been growing out my hair for my wedding, which has now happened and long past. The guidelines for donating hair changed too so I wanted to donate and find a new edgy short do! I have never really had shorter hair than a Bob and have been pretty vanilla with my hair. I called the chop shop asking for the stylist that specializes in short dos. They all do. I saw Jen who is New to Vancouver and the friendliest, most down to earth gal, so easy to talk to. I brought pictures of likes and dislikes and she fully understood what I was going for. She chopped off like 20 inches of my hair and made it into the best hair cut I think I've ever had (the shortest!), suiting both my large head and my personality. I'm super happy! The other gals were super friendly and the atmosphere was chill and comfortable. I think I found my new home. Highly recommend! Both the place and Jen. read more

I started coming to Lisa's chop shop randomly about 6 months ago. I know I can always count on Britt to give me a new funky purply 'do. I love going to her as she always seems to know what will fit my personality and face structure. She's super fun and friendly, and all the other stylists there are as well. For me, the culture of a salon is just as important as the stylist's skills. I'm glad to have found a new salon and stylist! Also, they use Elumen brand hair colour which is super permanent and super awesome for maintain the purple highlights in my hair. My previous colour jobs kept fading out within a couple weeks, which was frustrating. So far, the last couple of times I've put purple in my hair at the Chop Shop, It's lasted at least 8 weeks and longer. read more

I go here to get my hair do with Bexi! She is amazing and knows exactly how to deal with my hair. Consistent, Great conversationalist and quite stylish at it too! Reasonable price and easily accessible. Tell Bexi teejay sent you :) read more

Was planning on getting my haircut there but was grabbing Ramen next door first, and was waiting outside for a table. Super rude guy comes up to me and tells me to stop blocking his door way, no please and certainly no thanks, then he proceeds to stand in the same spot for the next 10 minutes and mean mug everyone. You should have awareness to know that anyone could be your potential customer, whatever your problem is with the place next door is not my problem, representing your business professionally should be a priority. I'm not coming back for a haircut ever again after this interaction, grow up. read more

Ella did an awesome job! She took her time, helped my come up with a new style that I really like and she was super patient with all my questions about hair products. read more

Chop Shop - Loving my new hairstyle done by Ella :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Rude and unprofessional. Some stylists/owners think they are the cats-ass. I don't think having an attitude problem is a good way to run a business. read more

It was my first time going to a chop shop. On entering I was greeted warmly. Making an appointment wasn't a hassle at all. When my turn arrived I was got a chance browse through a bunch of hairstyles I could try out. My hairdresser's expertise and experience was very helpful. The feeling of a professional like her brushing through your hair gently and with care is a wonderful feeling! One that I will never forget. Through the whole session we chatted and took some funny selfies. The entire process was fantastic and at the end of the session I had a good haircut and a hairstyle that suited me perfectly! I recommend this to everyone. You will have a wonderful time and a very pleasant experience. I know I did. Cheers! read more

Chop Shop - Lisa's chop shop! Clean, calm and welcoming. :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Overall it wasn't a super bad experience, but definitely wasn't a amazing experience. Went to get a haircut with my friend. The people weren't too friendly and would bad mouth customers once they left. The haircut was just good, but it was an affordable price so that helped. read more

Good quality comes with a price. You walk in and the first thing you see is the front end of a car as a desk. You know that things are going to be good! Tool boxes you typically find in an auto shop is used as their work stations with is absolutely adorable. The shop has a complete 50's feel. Although the price is high, I came out extremely happy with the hair cut I got. Britt did wonders with my hair! I highly recommend Lisa's Chop Shop. The atmosphere was fun and the girls are amazing. read more

I will come back for sure! Heather is amazing, she sat with me and explained what she was going to do, why, and answered my incessant questions about every product she used. read more

Chop Shop - The front desk here is wicked! - Hair Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

It was ok. Popped in to have my short hair trimmed. Took 10 minutes with the clippers, just the sides, all one guard, nothing off the top. Can't remember if I was charged $20 or $25... either way, more than the commercial drive chop shop (now high fidelity), heartbreakers, or bangtown has ever charged me ($10 - $15, but then I round up to $20 including tip). When I got home I had to neaten up the hairs at the very bottom of my hairline in the back myself. read more

I felt pretty guilty about coming to Lisa's Chop Shop when I wanted to cut all my hair off to donate. You see, I have another hairstylist. It felt like cheating. But Britt does such a great job with short cuts! I knew I would be in good hands with her, and I wanted to support the new shop. So back in June I sat myself down and put my full trust in Britt's talented hands. I was very nervous about cutting my hair off. I had short hair about 13 years ago and it did not look good. But my stubborn hair refused to grow any longer and was a split end mess at the bottom. It needed to come off, and it needed to go short to get that minimum of 8 inches to donate (minus the nasty splits). My instructions were basically, "Do whatever you think will work with my face. I put my full faith in you." I winced as the shears snipped through my ponytail with an era-ending "shhhhink!" I stared nervously at my reflection as my wet hair lay limp against my head in a way that is nowhere near flattering. But soon enough, Britt worked her magic and volume returned to my hair, and it started taking shape. Shape that works with my face, a particularly odd shaped face that is hard to work with for short cuts. Soon I had bounce, and curls, and wait, what's that I hear?! Trimmers! Eeek! The back of my neck got trimmed. Holy shit that's short back there! But when Britt was done it looked great. I couldn't be happier, and I couldn't imagine having a better cut. The shape was perfect. And 4 months later it still looks great as it grows out. She managed to cut my hair short in a way that wouldn't grow out awkwardly. Amazing! And guess what? My hair is hella easy to style at home! I can actually get it to look like Britt did, at home, with very little effort. Now that is my kind of haircut! Britt is incredible. If you are thinking of going short, or just need a change, this girl knows how to make you look good. She's full of creativity and is a super wonderful person to boot. And her massages are drool inducing! But the shop! The shop is beautiful. Lisa and Co. have done an outstanding job of making this place fit the Chop Shop image, but also making it very much Lisa's. I can't think of a better person to run this shop. Lisa is a doll. She is passionate, dedicated, smart and savvy. The rest of the staff are wonderful, but I haven't had the chance to get to know them as well as Lisa and Britt. However, everyone is very friendly, and they all seem to have a truly fun time working together. It's so nice when people love their jobs! Thanks ladies! read more

I'm giving this a 2 star only cause my old hair dresser who no longer her works there was AMAZING as in I could go in sit down tell her what j wanted and bam even better than was in my head. Well like i said she left (the owner does not treat her staff very nicly) and when I went in to get my normal cut I brought a pic and explained in detail what my old hair dresser did to achieve my a semetrical bob/pixie cut. She said she got it....well... she didn't have the skill to pull it off, is being nice i stopped her 7 times to point out she was going to short on the back top,to long on the back bottom neck ( i wanted a fade) she took of way to much length and even tho I repetitively asked her to texture my hair with the *alligator* scissors a inch above my roots under a layer of top hair for some volume she ignored me and just cut diagonal CHUNKS out of my hair in what i can only imaging she intended to act as texturing, how I thought this would add volume is beyond me. I left in tears The ONLY redeming thing i have to say about that experience is she didn't charge me for the cut, but now I'll have to wait at Least 3 months to fix this disaster on my head I'm supposed to call hair... read more

It can be intimidating getting a haircut from a new stylist when your requests are pretty boring- what if they don't listen or do something crazy or cajole you into getting something "more interesting" that ends up in trauma? But Britt is perfectly lovely and translated my rogue tangles and vague requests for "layers" and "no more split ends" into a low-maintenance, flattering cut- exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back. read more

Clean, classy, fun place. I had a great color here by Ren. She listened to what I wanted and steered me in the right direction (and a different one than I was expecting!) and made me look great. She always listened to my suggestions and kindly listened to me ramble too. The cut was a little underwhelming, and really expensive ($65!) for what was essentially a trim. I would recommend this place for someone who doesn't know exactly what they want, they won't lead you astray at this salon. But beware the prices, things definitely got a little nuts (285-300 w/tip) read more

Lisa's chop shop is a funky little salon with amazing and friendly stylists!! All the stylists are very easy to talk to and the shop itself oozes a fun vibe and is very open and welcoming! My fave stylist by far is Emma!! My hair always looks awesome after a visit with her!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Definitely take the time to go visit these lovely stylists!! read more

I came upon this place when I was absolutely desperate for a cut and something fresh and new. Drawn in by the wickedly cool decor, I knew it wasn't a mistake. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating to any and all requests, and they just emanate creativity. I had my hair done by Emma, who took time to understand my wants and habits, analyzing my hair type and finding a cut that best suits me. Not to mention the conversation! I had an absolute blast, and walked out with the perfect cut. I'm the type that goes from studio to studio, but without a doubt this place will be my new haven. read more

The gals that work here are just fantastic, they are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I'm in there pretty frequently since I have short hair, I see Emma, she's great! She's always excited to do something fun and funky for me. read more

Lisa's Chop Shop is amazing! Been seeing Kirsten there for almost a year now, and my hair has never been better. I was so tired of having the same boring haircuts at every salon I went too. Not here! Kirsten is amazing with color and I just love my hair style. I'm uber picky but LOVE the new funky hair styles she creates. Also I bleach my hair and used to do it myself. Now since going to Kirsten my hair is so much healthier. No more breakages or dry scalp. I recommend everyone tired of the same old same old to give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

Lisa's Chop Shop has become my new go to for a hair cut or clean up. The girls here are all super friendly and awesome at what they do. They just know how to work with you and your hair type to get it exactly how you want it. Not to mention you get a free clean up within 2 weeks of your cut to keep it looking fresh! read more

This has without a doubt become my go to spot! Amazing skilled world tier (let's be honest, even the finest salons are just glorified barbers here) staff (especially ELLA!) really do wonders to go above and beyond to GUARANTEE great results. Oh and free touch ups within two weeks! Amazing place, deffintely recommend! read more

I think Olivia gave me the best haircut I've ever had. She clearly has a great sense of what looks good on people and made it abundantly clear that she knew what she was doing. She was a complete sweetheart to boot and gives amazing scalp massages! Couldn't ask for a better hair stylist! read more

I made an account on Yelp just for Lisa and her girls just to show how much I loved my experience here. I was recommended to this little gem through a friend. Through some research via Yelp, and some images of the amazing work that these girls do, I decided to give this place a try. And i'm glad that I did. Lisa did my hair here, and took time listening to what I wanted and gave me a very informative hair consultation. She customed what kind of style would best suit me, and expresses her personal opinion on what she thinks will look good as well (which is REALLY helpful). During the actual haircut, Lisa told me exactly what she was doing and if i would be okay with it, which i was (she's a pro at what she does so I was confident in anything she did). When she washed my hair out, she gave the best hair massage. She's not one of those hairdressers that simply shampoos and conditions and takes 2 minutes to massage. She takes her time to make sure you are fully relaxed. She also takes the time when styling your hair to make sure you know how to do it when you get home. She goes through the specifics on what to do, and how to get the want you want to achieve and which products you should be using. This is a funky, trendy little hotspot that is definately worth looking into. The price point is good, ALL of the staff are welcoming, and new customers (like i was) are well catered for. Don't be intimidated to go in for a consultation, cut, etc. They will accomodate everything! I'll definately be coming back. read more

This place is fantastic. Britt does wonders to my hair and I always leave feeling beautiful. She also gives the most amazing head massages while she is washing my hair... heaven! The staff are fun and friendly and I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Went here last night and got an awesome haircut. Staff is very friendly place is clean and the head massage was relaxing. If you are looking for a great place for a great cut - highly recommended! read more

I've been going to Lisa to get my hair cut ever since she was a stylist-in-training at the one on Granville st. I have seen her grow from humble beginnings to being the owner of her own Chop Shop around Tinseltown within an amazingly short period of time! The look and feel of the Chop Shop is funky and vibrant and I actually look forward to getting my haircut. Lisa gives the most relaxing scalp massages when shampooing my hair. I'm so relaxed that I almost fall asleep every time. haha! Highly recommended! read more

Came in off the street with long hair that I desperately wanted to cut off. I recently had a baby who was yanking on my hair like it was his job and I was fed up... But I couldn't get in to see my regular stylist. I ended up with Heather, who took my ponytail, chopped it off, and gave me an awesome super short but fun & funky cut that doesn't make me feel like I have mom hair. Awesome! I abandoned my old stylist and now I'll keep coming back to see Heather whenever I need to clean it up. read more

I have been going to Lisa @ the Chop Shop for quite a while now, and I've followed her from Granville to Commercial and now at her own place in Gastown. Lisa is a great stylist and is really willing to work with her client to do what they want. One of the things that I appreciate the most about her is her honesty as well. If she thinks something is a bad idea or it might not look good, she will not hesitate to tell you that. Also, as a previous reviewer said "HEAD MASSAGE"! read more

This is an amazing salon in a great location, beautiful unique atmosphere and talented, FRIENDLY staff!! The owner is an amazing women, Lisa, who lives and breathes hair!!...her main focus is to make you comfortable, enhance your look and leave you smiling as you rock out in your new 'do, created just for you, with love! I hadn't let another stylist touch my hair for over 15 years and was always cutting it myself because I could never find one that would actually listen and be able to recommend what would be best based on their experience and knowledge. At Lisa's Chop Shop, Lisa took in to account my hair history, type, my lifestyle, maintenance, face shape.....the works!!........what was the result?----best cut with little to no effort on my part for styling and it looks great right up until I get it cut again---which I get done more often now, knowing that I get pampered and that amazing head massage, everytime!! Yay!! If you've been looking for a place where you can try something new, refresh the old or just hang out.....this is your salon!! Amazing murals on the wall by local tattoo artist and canadian artists that are worth coming in to just check out!! You can thank me later!! read more

They'll treat you right here... super friendly, stylin', & will give you the exact cut you want, with detail! Bex is solid, she cut mine once; & her hair is dope, you know she's got style. Brit is my go-to gurl, she's got skillz. And Lisa knows what she's doing in all aspects of this game. Just perfect. I book with her... I look forward to that relaxing scalp massage, and getting my hair cut too with that is just a bonus! I've been coming back to this place for a while now... and don't see myself needing 2 go anywhere else! Again & again ...allll day! read more

Lisa has been cutting my hair for the last couple of years now. She cut my hair from when it was long down to a short cropped style which I love. She consistently cuts my hair well even when I don't know what I want to do with it. Her head massages are amazing. And she took the time to show me how to style my hair for my wedding as I was having a destination wedding and wanted to do my hair myself. Her prices are excellent, she is professional but most importantly she does amazing hair cuts. read more

This was definitely the best place I've ever had my hair done. Sahba was the best in helping me choose a style. Amazingly, it didn't take too long and I was in and out during my lunch break as a new person. read more

Based on the reviews here I called and asked for someone who is specialized on lots of hair. Yes that's my issue, a head-full of hair. It was interesting that my big hair specialist kept saying "they didn't teach us how to cut lots of hair"...not terribly comforting. As for the service, on a hot day I was not even offered a glass of water. Short story I was about to cry when I left the shop. On a good note my hair grows fast. The most expensive hair cut I had (spend $120+) and never been shocked like this! Won't recommend this place to anyone. Sorry. read more
