After being disappointed with the way the colours had turned out in my hair after my last few visits to my usual top name Salon I felt I needed to try somewhere new. After reading the reviews here I decided to give Choppa's a go, and I'm so glad I did!

Right from the time I walked through the door all the staff were so friendly and attentive and they actually listened to what I wanted. I decided to have a complete change in colour and go from curly to straight. I took some pictures of possible styles and was very quickly reassured of what would suit me.

I am over the moon with the result. The cut was perfect, exactly how I imagined it, and exactly what I wanted. The colours are the perfect mix, with heaps of highlights, just as I wanted. The girls were so helpful in teaching me the new way to style my hair. Nothing was too much trouble.

It was such a pleasure to have met the girls and found this wonderful Salon. I can't reccommend this place highly enough, except to say go try it yourself....you won't be disappointed!

The girls at choppa's actually listen to what you want then deliver just what your after. After trying endless different salons over the years i couldnt be more happier with the end result. An added plus is there super good value to!

I went to them on the recommendation of a friend and after a disastrous experience at another hairdressers. They listened to what I wanted and were very helpful with suggestions and very good at finding out what I actually wanted. They turned my hair from a peroxide mess to having some colour and made me feel normal again instead of someone who hated looking in the mirror. I will go back for sure.

Choppa's is an unpretentious shopfront hairdresser in a small non-descript set of shops in a busy industrial zone - but don't let that put you off.
Like a great sculptor who reveals the angel trapped in a shapeless block of marble, the woman (lady!) who cut my hair today managed to turn a grisly, balding truck driver into a regular prince. Magic. And no royal price tag for the favour; I paid less than half what I would in the city, or just over half what I'd pay at my usual renowned barber in Applecross. I really enjoyed myself too, and got every bit as good a haircut as in a posh salon. Frankly, I didn't expect that: Choppa's is famous for its $10 working-man's buzz cut. What a pleasant surprise to discover that these people can actually cut as well.

Another thing: you know that song, "R.E.S.P.E.C.T."? A woman made it famous, but a man wrote it - for his wife: Otis Redding. The point being, that men thrive when women (especially their wives) respect them; in fact - if they had to - most men would do without love, as long as they got the respect. Well, I no longer have a wife, but I got respect at Choppa's today.

I walked off the street without an appointment and didn't even make it to the waiting seats. She was onto me like a long lost friend after two steps in the door: friendly, attentive, genuine - and not shy at all. She looked me right in the eye and we were laughing before I hit the cutting chair and got comfortably tucked in. The degree of personal attention was amazing; lots of face-to-face eye contact from go to whoa. Intelligent, principled conversation as well. And men, here's something impressive: she listened as well as she spoke. She actually forgot herself at the end and showed me the back of the haircut twice with the mirror, because she was paying so much attention to what I was saying to her. Refreshing stuff.

She was like the good bartender from an old Frank Sinatra number: part smooth operator, part wise counsellor and home-spun philosopher, part sympathetic friend - tact, compassion, simple, fluent good humour, and that homely common touch.

Despite my being a bit of a quiet introvert I had no difficulty talking freely with this light-hearted lady. We actually had a meaningful conversation about religion and the state of the world today. When she first combed my hair I said, "I don't usually part it there." No problem; no unchangeable agenda to overcome. She simply handed me the comb and said, "Show me how you do it." It was all so easy-going.

I even got a warm smile from the attractive lady customer sitting next to me when my hairdresser deftly and discreetly included her in our fun towards the conclusion of my sitting.

Go to Choppa's if you want a decent haircut at a fair price, in the company of a competent and charming lady who hasn't lost touch with her delightful feminine side.

Bought a voucher with three wash, style cut, treatment and blowdry. They were very attentive and friendly, complimentary coffee, a relaxing experience and most of all i was very pleased with the cut that i was given, hard to find these days. Even with the voucher i did not think that I received sub-standard service. I do have two more appointments to go and I will coment on those too.

Seemed very busy the day I visited the salon. Was dealt with professionally and really like the down to earth atmosphere. Will be going back and local for me too which is a bonus

Having bought a voucher for 3 style cuts, shampoos, blowdrys plus hair treatments for $59 (less than $20 a visit!!), I was sceptical. BUT: very pleasently surprised!!! Jess was my hair stylist, she was super-friendly, very efficient, and I LOVE my new hair style. She listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, everything you could ask for. Will definately be going back to Choppa's - even when my 3 visits run out!

All the positive reviews about this salon are so true. There is such a lovely atmosphere and the owners make their customers feel very welcome. My hair was cut by Christine and I am more than pleased with the result. Am so glad to have found a hair stylist who knows how to get the desired effect from a photograph and I will definitely go back. Thanks Christine.

What amazing salon, they have the best team working together, I have had the best cut and colour ever, for a very long time. You cannot fault the girls on anything. Very Highly Recommended.
