I always get a great cut and it's a lovely atmosphere (the offer of a beer is always a nice touch). There's an opportunity for improvement with Reece's football and bread chat, but overall a great experience.

This my 2nd Keratin Treatment/Colour with Reece 😊 I have 4b coily/curly blonde hair. My previous keratin treatment was 6 months ago. I have noticed the integrity of my hair has maintained, especially with the blonde highlights. I’ve seen great growth results in the past 6 months.
Extremely happy and I would recommend this treatment for curly hair clients.

This my 2nd haircut with Reece 😊 I have 4b coily/curly hair. My previous cut managed to last 6 months and maintained its shape. We decided to cut the hair in how it grows rather than creating a shape that will only last a few months. This is from past experience of previously cutting my hair at a different salon.
I’m happy customer who is greatly satisfied in having my hair cut and coloured with Reece.

I haven’t had a professional haircut since 2020…apparently my neighbours Amazon scissors and a trim don’t count! I decided I needed to have a proper Chopp and actually look like a grown up with some style to my hair! I saw on Instagram that Claudia was also new to the salon, so decided that she would be the perfect choice to embark on a new hair journey together! She listened and directed and we go the result I wanted…baby steps this time, but it’s a start! She was such a perfectionist and tweaked and trimmed until she got the look I had asked for. The salon was great…buzzing on a Thursday night and everyone made me feel welcome. It felt like a proper family vibe! Looking forward to being a regular!

This was my first appointment having recently moved back to the area. In previous salons I've found hairdressers can be cautious about cutting my hair as short as I like it. Dan was great, asking lots of questions to understand what I wanted and really seems to enjoy cutting short styles. I felt relaxed and confident straight away thar I was in safe hands and I am delighted with the finished cut!

Chopp is an amazing place. As soon as you walk in, you pick up a friendly, welcoming vibe along with a buzzing atmosphere with Paul and his team so obviously sharing a passion for creativity in hair. From the very first visit, Ophelia made me feel at ease and spent time carefully discussing what I would like. From hairwashing through to the final spray, I always feel I have been given an attentive and unhurried service. Along with the provision of good coffee (sometimes it's the little things...)it feels like a little haven of wellbeing.
So glad I found you!

Reece has been cutting and colouring my hair for a couple of years and I hope many more to come. Yesterday I managed to get a cancellation, concerned about breakage and hair loss at the middle front of my head that suggested it’s a stress response. After assessing the damage Reece opened his arms for a hug knowing I was worried and said ‘don’t worry it can be sorted’. He gave me a shorter pixie fringe to blend it in, recommended a Nioxin starter pack and I feel so much better for the cut that disguises the issue.
