About

The Chop Shop is a braids and locs business at 1436 Carswell St in Baltimore.

Services are grouped into braids, locs, loc styling, retwists, kids' services and consultations. Braid options range from two braids for men up to larger sets of braids, and single braids or twists are also offered. Locs include starter locs, coil starters and invisible locs for men, and natural hair barrels are available for hair that is not locked.

Prices are set per service, with extra charges for longer hair. Passing shoulder, mid back or hip length adds a fixed amount depending on the service, and zig zag or free parting adds a small charge on some men's braid styles. Most services that include a wash do not require clients to arrive with clean or blow-dried hair.

Booking must be made at least 12 hours ahead. For shorter notice, clients contact the salon directly before booking. Bundles of services can be bought in bulk and used at any time, and there is a loyalty program. The Booksy listing shows an average rating of 5.0 from 5 reviews.
