Charlie’s Chop Shop

Best Cuts In Town. Excellent Service. Great Barbers. Great Prices. What More Can You Ask For?

I usually come here when once a month. Generally a great over all experience hair and beard will run you about 20 $. The place manages itself you can do appointments, or you can do walk ins. I always cut my hair with Charlie he is an amazing barber. Great conversations with him. The music is always different, the television is generally playing the soccer game or the football game. The haircuts are stylish.

Hands down the best barber shop in town. My fiancé has been to a few places tried this place and loved it good vibes, good times, friendly barbers and as for the wait it’s fast totally recommend this shop

Tried to go twice on two different days and I was closed during business hours. Even called the day before and was told they would be open.

Asked the girl for a trim. She asked if i wanted a 1 or 2 on the side. I said, «No, i dont want clippers on the side. Can you just use scissors to trim it?.» She replied, «I can do a number 3.»
Everything that happened afterwards is my fault because i should have left at that point.
The hair cut took 50 minutes. She cut it way too short and way too high. She might have been distracted because she kept talking to another barber and turning her head, while using the clippers on me!
When i got home and got a closer look I was even more disappointed. I literally took a pair of scissors and fixed (or, tried to) what she had done.
I havent been this dissapointed in a haircut since I got an accidental flat top in middle school.
I guess this is a really good place if you’re looking for a fade or something similar but not if you’re looking for actual hair «styling» or a scissor haircut.

I decided to try this place out because it had great reviews. I had the younger/​shorter barber, I didn’t catch his name. I asked for a high fade (which starts off short and eventually fades longer the higher it goes) but He made it the same length all the way up. Now I have the same haircut as Burt from Sesame Street. Not to mention the haircut took over an hour! Also, most barbers will ask questions and confirm if they aren’t 100% sure what a customer wants. This guy just did his own thing. He went all in and literally didn’t say a word the entire hour. I paid for the haircut and a container of gel and the barber gave me more change than I have him. Normally I would have said something and let him know about his cash handling mistake but I was upset about the haircut and considered it a wash. I’m sure this is a good shop and this is probably a one off situation but I had to share my experience. If you go in here make sure you avoid the young and short barber with black hair.

I had a great time here, and got a great cut. The barbers here are friendly and very skilled at the craft of barbering.

There’s no place like Charlie’s. You get a good vibe when you walk in the door, there’s always something exciting going on, and you’re going to leave with a top notch haircut.
I’ve been going to Charlie’s for over ten years and I’ve never been disappointed — even when Charlie talked me into a Mohawk one summer. All the barbers know what they’re doing.
We’re lucky to have Charlie’s Chop Shop in the City of Bell– it’s been number one on my list for years! Keep it Charlie!

I’ve been getting my hair cut at Charlie’s since I was about 16 years old. I used to ditch school at the nearby high school to get my hair cut at Charlie’s. He always told me to stay in school, but I’m going off topic now.
This review is for the entire shop but especially for Joe. I’ve been cutting with him for years and he always treats me with respect. I can’t tell if he’s my barber or my cousin sometimes. I walk in and he already knows what I want. 3 on the top, 1 on the side, with a tape up and beard shape up extra swirv ya heard. The man is a blade master and always leaves my beard looking extremely fleek. I’ve never had a bad experience there and I’m always treated like family. I’d recommend Joe to anyone who also wants to look fleek. If you don’t wanna look fleek, go in your bathtub and shave your head off. Sure you’ll save 14 bucks but you’ll also look retarded.

These dudes are on point! Had my haircut by Joe and had him give me my first fade! I live in OC and just started working in the area, so I Unilocaled for a barber shop on my lunch break and ended up here. Cool guys, fun conversations and a great cut for a great price! My new twice a month stop for lunch!

Gotta love a barber shop that opens on Sunday’s. Been here a few times and have always left happy. I’m pretty picky with my haircuts and I’m glad I found this spot. And the best part is that it’s just down the street from my place.

Who knew the city of Bell was known for having a great barbershop, just thought it was a place were corrupt politicians can call home.
Well back to this review that’s long overdue, I originally came to this shop from my coworker constantly hounding me about this shop, so I finally got around to getting a cut from his barber Joe.
I definitely have to recommend you try this place out, call ahead and ask for joe, he truly is a man of his craft. As soon as you sit in that chair just explain what you want done and trust me, he will not disappoint you, I’ve gotten so many compliments from people trying to find out where I get my haircut and now you can look fresh too.

Been looking for a GOOD barber for a long time. Tried local barber shops but non met my expectations as charlie babrber shop did.
Joe went above and beyond with my haircut. He asked questions to confirm if what i wanted he understood. It was not rushed at all. I showed him a pic and he replicated the haircut. Casual conversation. Great cut on the beard as well.
Best barber in town. Who can replicate any haircut you ask for. Great with detail! I will definitely be coming back.
Thanks Joe.

Came in to Charlies Chop Shop after having been to multiple barbie shops in the area. I came to get a haircut and was extremely satisfied with the haircut, had a great conversation with Joe and he gave me an exceptional gentlemans cut. I will definitely be coming back here regularly.

Giving this spot a shot, lets see how it goes.
Due to my normal place that I go to already booked even though I been there since 8:26 am in the morning and they open at 9:00 am.
I’ll update my reviw after I get my haircut…
UPDATE: Well I’m very pleased with my haircut The Barber was Charlie, I think I found my new Barber. ..

Walked in one morning at about 8:30 am only cause I saw the barber cutting someone’s hair inside and I couldn’t find another place open early enough in the area… immediately both the barber and his customer stared at me then the barber said to me «oh, we’re closed right now. Sorry» … again it’s about 830 am, he’s already cutting someone’s hair and they open at 9am or maybe even 10am… regardless he would have finished that dude up at about 915 – 930 then already had a new customer by opening time. instead they wanted to be selective and rude like my money ain’t green. Its not like i walkex in two minutes till closing. Safe to say I won’t be back there and I’ll recommend the same to all my local friends too…

I’ve been coming to this barber shop for close to 10 years, and since day 1 I have always felt like family. All the guys are great and do well with kids too. All the fellas get down. Charlie (the owner) is a cornerstone in the community and wish him much and continued success. Even though I have difficult hair to cut, my boys Joe, Ray, and Rocky do a solid job and make sure that I am always satisfied. Thank you for the years of fresh fades.

Charlie;s Chop Shop is the Best Barber shop ever!!!
Great Customer Service and a awesome social enviroment

Came here cus I was in desperate need of a haircut. So I walk in and already got weird looks. Haircut felt rushed, had to ask him to blend a lil more. I’ve been to other barbershops and have never felt as uncomfortable as I did today. Maybe it was because it was kind of late in the day and he was tired? I don’t know. Either way not happy with my cut and not happy with the service.

Came to this place after having a horrible experience at Kings barber shop on paramount in Downey.
The owner Joe was awesome
Asked me what I wanted and got straight to work
Took his time and paid attention to every little detail. This man is a master of his craft I’ve never been happier with my haircut.
Returning customer? I think so!
