What a delight it was to find Rob and his unique shop! Excellent haircut and beard shaping. A unique venue filled with antiques relating to his craft - family heirlooms, razors, barber poles, even barbershop quartet sheet music! Rob is a fascinating fella, very personable and eager to please. Extremely professional and providing all the right precautions to protect his clienteles health (hand sanitizer, mandatory masks, seating and appoints to provide distance from other clients). I highly recommend!
So glad I found this place. I would recommend this place to anyone. Rob did such a great job on my hair. Rob listened to exactly what I wanted and helped make the perfect style for my hair. He took the time to show me how to style it as well. I keep getting many compliments on my hair for the first time in my life. I will definitely be coming back! Thanks Robs Chop Shop
Rob is a genuine barber, he desires to do good work and represent his shop and his brand well. It shows in the pride he takes in your hair while you’re in his chair. After all was done there was one touch up needed and Rob handled it with ease. Again, a man of integrity this is revealed in his sincerity to take the best care of you he can.Bonus, Rob carries good hair care products and makes some solid recommendations!
I called to set up an appointment. A guy on the phone answers and asked if i’ve been vaccinated before I can finish setting up my appointment. Then says you can’t come if you haven’t been vaccinated then hangs up without even being able to answer the question. Very unprofessional.
Visited Rob whos an old classmate going back over 30 years. I was overwhelmed by the vintage memoribilia and the atmosphere. Truly impressed with the shop and his achievement of owning his own business.
Very happy to have finally found a Barber who not only has the skills to give an awesome cut. The cool vibe plus the friendly and sincere attitude makes for a great experience!
Rob does a spectacular job at cutting hair. First, he takes covid precautions seriously, as everyone should. Second, the overall experience was excellent. He listened to me as I explained what I wanted. Conversation was smooth and not awkward. He styled my hair and made sure I knew how to do it at home. Finally, he finished it off with a neck shave. All this for less than the average barber in Dallas. I would recommend Rob to anyone who wants a well-done haircut.
Robs Chop Shop is amazing. The atmosphere right when you walk in is refreshing and you can tell that youre not gonna leave without a cut that leaves you smiling. Rob took my hair, which wasnt very taken care of, and was given complete discretion to cut as he pleased. He went above and beyond and took his time. By the end, I had such a great cut. Rob walked me through how to style and what products to use. Theres not much else to say except to schedule an appointment and see for yourself.
Rob has created an excellent experience and great quality barbershop. You could just tell by the shop that Rob and Elliott both have great attention to detail. Was lucky to have scheduled an appointment with Elliot and I am very pleased. After a short conversation of my hair, what my thoughts were and potential needs Elliot was able to give some insight and professional advice that matched what I was looking for. Haircut and beard trim we’re done exceptionally well. Can’t wait to go back and get a straight razor shave. I would recommend calling Rob and Elliot for an appointment as these guys are under high demand.Thanks Elliott “the extrovert” barber.
Best barbershop in Dallas. I’m new to the city and so happy I found Rob, he is an artist with hair and a super nice guy. The shop has a classic old school barbershop feel and has a lot of antiques and history in the shop. 10/10 would recommend Rob!
A unique and one of a kind experience. Everything from the cut, which is always perfect and classy, to the environment is a testament to Robs love for his craft and life as well. When you go take the time to soak up the atmosphere and prepare to step back in time.
Old school barbershop - if you blink you will miss it. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Rob is professional, experienced, and able to deliver on creating stellar haircuts. He is very consultative and took his time paying close attention to all of the small details. Its a small little shop with reasonable prices and high dollar quality. The rockabilly music mix really adds to the aesthetics of the place. Cant wait to go back!
I’ve been going to Rob’s for the past 5 years. Rob’s work is, hands down, the best in Dallas. Not only that, but Rob is also one of the nicest guys you’ll meet. He’ll welcome you in and offer you a beer. After a long day of work it’s always nice to be able to just kick back and relax in a really cool vintage barbershop. Rob is not pushy either. If you got a lot on your mind and don’t want to talk, he’ll be quite with you; if you have exciting news and just want to share, he’ll be excited for you. Check Rob’s out and support all the small businesses in Fair Park. You won’t regret it!
Rob is a professional and provides a great haircut and service. Both my wife and I were pleased with my last haircut that now I am a customer. Rob is personable and makes you feel comfortable while in his chair. I would highly recommend getting your haircut at Rob’s Chop Shop.
Rob’s Chop Shop has been an awesome experience 3 times in a row. I started searching for a new look from a local barber a found a gem. The atmosphere could be described as old school, rock, vintage, and hot rod. Rob has a kind soul and an obvious eye for detail. I love my new cut and highly recommend Rob’s Chop Shop.
These guys are awesome! The shop is vintage and the haircuts even better!
Rob is the best barber no doubt! I’ve been coming here since i was 15 (10 years now). Highly recommend this place!
Overall Rob does a good job and is very friendly however there was about a 20 minute wait for me to get my haircut past what my original appointment was scheduled for but I’ve never found a barber that doesn’t do that. Also he forgot to cut my bangs when I asked him to trim the top but I still walked out of there looking fresh.
Since moving to Dallas, about a year ago, Robs has been the place to go for a great haircut. Rob is very friendly, professional, and dedicated to his craft and his work reflects that. I recommend to any men looking to get a professional, yet fresh haircut. Since, the beginning of the pandemic they have really focused on ensuring customer safety. That was a definite plus.
Best haircut I have had in 4 years. Robs the man. Blessed to have found his services so close to home.
I started going to Rob when I moved back to Dallas in 2015. Until then, I never had a barber I was a regular customer to, quite frankly, bc I didn’t care much until going to Rob’s. He keeps the shop cleaner than Ive ever seen. They are Very professional and rob is a master of the craft. I hear the same for the second barber there as well (I believe his name is Elliott).Also, if you’re a fan of classic rock and roll or appreciation of vintage/collectibles, you’ll love this place. I believe his wife was the mastermind of it all...if I remember that correctly, she did a hell of a job in there. Couldn’t recommend this spot any more! I especially appreciate their hard work through these difficult times during the pandemic.
If you want the best of the best, go see Elliot & Rob. They will not disappoint. Best beard trim in the game!
Great to still have an old school highly skilled barber ready for the challenge. This is not your average buzz cut joint. Robs Chop Shop is an experience. Great service, fair prices and easy to make an appointment.1st visit today. Walked in with a 6 months growth called a beard that I just let grow. It needed to be shaped and trimmed. Also need a haircut. Found him on the web with great ratings so called and made the over due appointment. He asked what I wanted to do...I told him a few things about the hair cut but for the beard I asked for his thoughts...we confirmed the plan and 1 hour later awesome hair cut and beard cut looks fantastic. Used some great products in my beard with super fragrance. Nice clean hand shaved neck, over ears, and cheeks creating great lines. Ill be back ! Give him a call you will enjoy the skill of a real professional.
I have been a client of Elliot’s for several years. His talent as a barber is difficult to describe but he is the type of barber who’s instinct I trust implicitly. He pays serious attention to detail and gets to know his clients. I always leave his chair feeling amazing! Great barber - great guy!
Ask for Eliot! Hes excellent! They are by appointment only
Rob is absolutely phenomenal at his craft! I can’t remember the last time I received such an amazing cut. Love the aesthetic of the shop as well, the ole time feel definitely adds to the nostalgia.Rob will definitely receive my business and recommendations for the foreseeable future.
I have been going to Rob for over fifteen years now. The haircut is always perfect. The atmosphere is fantastic. Great guy as well. Highest recommendation. Youll never get your hair cut anywhere else again.
I am originally from NYC and lived in San Francisco for about 2 years before recently moving to Dallas a year ago. I have been searching for a good barber that can give me a cut like back home in New York. Rob is the best barber I have found in the last 3 years. His mix of cutting the top with a good fade is exceptional and will not be going anywhere else. Highly suggest this place
Rob is the man! Great cut and have to say, for someone who doesn’t have much hair to work with, Rob did an amazing job and took the time to actually care about my cut. Will be back!
My son and I have been coming to Robs for 7 years. This is not only the best place to get your haircut but the best experience. To have real life old school barbershop talk with your 16yr old son is something he will always remember. Not only is Rob the best in the business he cares about his clients and treats us like family. Robs isnt just a haircut it is a way of life and experience. We support Rob 100% and always will.
Elliot is the best barber in North Texas. And the owner Rob, what can you say, nicest guy and best shop ever!
Best haircut I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
A real deal old school barbershop and the best cuts I’ve had anywhere let alone in Dallas. Consistent, reasonably priced and definitely worth the trip into Dallas. Nice guys with excellent taste in music as well.
Rob does a tremendous job. Took me three years to find a great barber in Dallas but finally found the best one. Highly recommended
Robs is a great men’s barbershop! Rob and Elliot are well trained barbers and can take care of the hair on your head and your face. Prices are at industry standard but the treatment and environment are first class.
Ive been going to Robs for years and will not go anywhere else. Rob is a professional who knows his craft. Great atmosphere, great conversation and a very cool shop. If you are looking for a great Mens haircut, this is the place.
Awesome atmosphere, best barber experience in Texas period.
Rob is the hands down the best barber in town. He has been cutting my hair for almost four years. He gives great haircuts and has a great collection of antique barber and rockabilly memorabilia. He is also does great boys haircuts. He cuts my 8 year old son’s hair and all the PTA moms wish their sons hair looked as good as my sons does. I would recommend Rob to man of any age seeking a slick, classic look.
I was spending the day with my husband for his birthday and one of the things we were doing was getting his hair cut. I walked in with him and was planing on staying until the owner who only spoke to my husband but not me said “ This is a gentleman’s establishment. Only for gentleman.” My husband asked if that meant I’m not allowed to stay here and then the owner Said yes and suggested that I go wait at a coffee shop. I’ve never been kicked out of an establishment for being a women so that was a first! Not sure what’s gentlemanly about that and why it would even matter if a women was there. I know they are going for a certain theme but I think some things like sexism should be kept in the past.After having to apologize to me on his behalf my husband won’t be coming back.
I was treated like I was famous when I came in and by the time I left, I felt even famous-er... My hair had gotten way too long and I was needing a change anyway, so I asked Rob to just figure out a good haircut for me. He did. Im happy and Ill be heading back there for sure.
I’m a speaker & model from Austin and my haircuts can be the reason a shoot comes out looking great or not. I’m always nervous walking into a new place, but Rob knew the guys from Avenue that I go to in Austin. Gave me a cut I know I can be confident with in front of the cameras, and we openly talked about anything and everything man to man. I came out of there feeling like a million bucks, respecting Rob and his shop, and will keep coming back and recommending this place. A must go to.
Ive been going to Robs for the better part of a decade (which says a lot). The classy genial atmosphere makes getting a haircut less of a chore and more so something to look forward to.Easy to say I highly recommend this establishment!Also, if you use pomades he sells his own brand which is really something else ( I dig the 50wt, smells of mulberry!) Along side other popular brands.
I got cut from an out of town gentleman. He was great! Rob is a cool guy. I love the atmosphere of this shop. They earned a repeat customer. The razor cut was top notch also. Fantastic all around shop!!
I have been traveling between TX and FL and have been struggling to find a consistent barber. Rob made me feel at home. Quality and pure customer delight. Make sure you pet Betty while you are there. See you in two weeks Rob!
The best barber shop in town. I have been going to Robs for about three years now and he always keeps me looking professional. I have a busy schedule but Rob always works me in. Its hard to find great customer service matched with a great product. Rob offers both with an old school vibe.
My Dad gets his cuts here and I dont think hed ever write a Google review, so Im writing one on his behalf! Rob is the best! He is so talented & kind, and puts his whole heart into his work! Definitely go check out the Chop Shop!
Best cuts and shaves in town. Elliot and Rob always make you feel like family. Cant recommend this place enough.
Rob is the only person I will ever go to to cut a classic haircut that looks amazing. Been to every salon in the Dallas area, and no one even understood the term Rockabilly. Rob is more than a haircut, he is an amazing experience all around.
I’ve been going to Rob’s for years and have always ended up with a great cut. Rob is by far the best barber in the DFW area and I’ve recommended him to many friends. Rob’s shop has a great atmosphere, along with plenty of great hair products and shave soaps. Rob and his wife are always great to chat with and you can immediately tell that he has a very loyal set of clientele. Rob’s cuts are by appointment only, so you are never waiting long to get in the chair. It’s also worth mentioning that his shop is located next door to Craft and Growler, so you’re able to easily fill up your growler on the way home.
If youre looking for a top notch barber look no further. Ive tried all the spots around Dallas and this is by far the best haircut and experience.Robs is a traditional barber shop experience like none other. Robs love of the trade is reflected all over his shop. Walking into Robs is like going back in time. Everything from the music to the generations of grooming tools on display make Robs shop unique.Most importantly you will get a great cut every time. Rob takes great pride in his craft. He fixed a seriously bad haircut for me and I havent been disappointed yet.Be sure to call ahead because Rob doesnt accept walk ins. Grab yourself a cold beer from the fridge and enjoy the best barber shop in town.
Robs chop shop is the best around by far. Can’t wait for this social distancing to be over so I can get back and get cleaned up! Let’s get the line around the block once this is all over
Ive gone to multiple barbershops in town before finding Robs and there is a reason I keep coming back. Rob gives one of the best classic haircuts in town. His attention to detail and pride in his work makes the difference. Although he is by appointment only, Rob has been more than accommodating to my schedule. Highly recommend Rob to any guy looking for a new barber.
Rob is the best in the business. The reviews are accurate. 10/10 haircuts and great atmosphere.
Rob’s is the best damn Barbershop in Dallas. Been getting my hair cut here for close to 15 years. There are few real shops like this in town. The environment is a comfortable, relaxed place for a guy to BS, get a great cut and grab some quality grooming products. And Rob always has a cold brew and rockabilly tunes waiting for you when you walk in...plus, he’s just an all-around great guy. I highly recommend Rob’s Chop Shop.
Great cut. The shop has the vintage vibe. Rob is friendly and provides a solid service. Love being able to support a local shop with a great service!
The best barber in Dallas, hands down. Whether you are a new customer or a regular, Rob will always give you a great cut with an amazing barber shop experience. I have personally referred so many people to Robs after receiving compliments on my hair cuts that Ive lost count. Rob has mastered his craft over the years long before the barber shop trend began and it clearly shows when you walk through his door. If youre looking for an amazing cut, great conversations, a truly authentic and welcoming environment... then head to Robs!
I have been going to Rob’s Chop Shop for almost a year now and have always received a great cut and service. I have been to several barbers in the area, but Rob’s by far has been the best. Not to mention he has an awesome looking place! A true gentleman’s barber.
Went to Rob’s because I was referred by a friend. It was my first time and I had an important meeting the next day so I was a little nervous, but Rob is a pro who has been cutting men’s hair for over 20 years. He did a great job, taking his time, making sure I looked sharp. I’ve gotten many compliments on my haircut in the 3 days since I went. Best of all, my wife said, “Oo La La!” when I got home.Rob earned a loyal customer this week.
ROB IS THE MAN!!! The gal that used to cut my hair moved and retired. Went to 3 different barbers in the Mesquite area and terribly disappointed. Did a Google search and found Rob. Showed him all the mistakes from my last cut and he said dont worry Ill fix it have a seat Rob put me totally at ease with his conversation as he worked his magic. About a half hour later I couldnt believe what he had done, my hair looked great for the first time in months. I came in a total mess, hair uneven on both sides and the back was just chopped up. Rob fixed it all. I am truly grateful for his work. Thanks again Rob and see you soon. I will go to no one else now. Go see Rob you will not be disappointed.
The best place to get a cut in town, with the best service and attention .
Rob gives you his best every time he cuts your hair. One time, I took my son in for a haircut a few days after I had mine cut and Rob asked me to sit down for a second because he wanted to go over something.I had no complaints about the haircut, but he saw something with his eye that he felt needed correction. When a man outs his name on his business and doesnt hide behind some cute name or slogan, he takes his work to heart.
Started going to Rob a couple months back after my barber of 30 years retired. Rob is a good dude and does a really high quality job. Would definitely recommend giving him a shot if you are in the market for a new barber!
Best barber shop in Dallas! Great classic haircuts, Rob is the best barber I have ever been to, he has been cutting my hair for 4 years and I constantly get compliments on my hair. Great atmosphere, music and conversation. Try it out you won’t regret it.
Great cuts. Cool style. Have a beer while you wait
Rob is a really good guy and dedicated to his craft. Can get busy and a little rushed. Good cuts!
Rob is the man! Don’t go anywhere else if you are a man and looking for a proper chop. He’s been at this spot over 15 years and still going strong. Glad to have found a good spot.
I have been going to Rob since I moved to Dallas two years ago. The old time flare of the barbershop and classic haircuts are one of a kind. By far the best haircut I have ever gotten. I couldnt be happier!
This was my first time at Robs and I was delighted with the cut, as well as the friendly service. Having just moved to Dallas from the UK, I was given a very warm welcome by Rob, who very kindly offered to be on hand if ever I needed any advice or had any questions about the area. The shop is very cool and the atmosphere is relaxed, which Rob complemented with great conversation and a first-class hair cut. Ill be back for sure.
I have been to Robs Chop Shop about 4 to 5 times. I thought the place was quite different compared to the other barbershops out there - jazz music playing in the background, it gives you that vintage vibe, very unique. Although the place seemed great at first, theres a large disparity between the barbers skill and the cost. I would not pay $30+ to a barber who messes up my sideburns not once or twice but three times! The first time was not so obvious. I let that one slip and fixed the mistake myself. I had to point out the second time my sideburns got messed up - so he fixed it (but Rob didnt even apologize for the oversight). And the third time? I didnt notice it at first but when I got home, showered, and looked in the mirror - boom: left sideburn was an inch and a half higher than the other. And I felt rushed towards the end because there was one other customer waiting. But thats no excuse! Terrible... Wont go there again.
This is the place to get your hair cut; Rob turns your Barber visit into and experience. He is taking pride in his work and delivers amazing results. I have been looking for a barber in the Dallas area for quite some time and have finally found someone that knows what he is doing. If for you a barber visit is talking to half dresses women, this is not the place to go. This is the place you go if you expect an excellent haircut and a good time with the guys.
Robs is a classic style mens barbershop with very authentic and original feel. Still ran exclusively by its namesake - you can always expect a great cut and conversation. Recommend calling ahead to setup an appointment.
Best haircut I’ve gotten in a long time
OMG I really loved how I got my haircut here by Rob. Honestly no one has ever done so good on my edges better than him. If I lived in Dallas I would defenetly be going there everytime I need a haircut.
As soon as I walked in it was like going back in time, the decor of the place is great, a true gentleman’s Barber Shop.As soon as I walked in Rob made me feel welcomed; and the haircut was even better, Rob did a great job and afterwards there was a little bit of time for some history on the place.First time there and definitely will be going back.
Great haircut from a pro barber here. Started going to him a little over 2 years ago and wont get my hair cut by anyone else now. Would recommend to any guy looking for a quality cut.
There is nothing like Robs! The ultimate cool guy place for a haircut! Great conversation, historic items. Like the old time barber shop only better!
Awesome place. Nice, chill atmosphere, love the old school theme of everything. Rob is a cool guy that gives a great haircut, will definitely be back.
I have been going to Robs for a few years now. He gives fantastic haircuts and I recommend his shop simply because of that. He is, however, chronically behind (I usually expect to wait 20-30 minutes when I arrive on time) and his shop openly displays rather pornographic material. He is a cool guy and good conversationalist, and always offers a drink to those waiting from his antique fridge.
I went to Robs chop shop because about 100 people in my neighborhood (lakewood) recommended him to me and I couldnt be happier. This place is the real deal barber shop and I look sharp every time I leave. the Joint has been around along time in Dallas and Ive tried a few other places but have no reason to go elsewhere. Rob is personable and gives a great hair cut. If you want a great classic hair cut, go to rob. no trends or fads, just flat out great hair cut. QUALITY. every time.
Rob is a gentleman and I recommend his business for a chop. Good atmosphere!
I’ve been going to Rob’s since I moved back to Dallas two years ago. It is easily the best barber shop I’ve ever been to. The beer in the fridge is for the taking, and the cut is right every time. I couldn’t recommend Rob’s highly enough.
About 2yrs ago I walked in this shop and asked about a cutt. Rob kindly told me that he is by appointment only.. I looked at his shop and realized that there is no screaming kids and that his shop is really something else. You damn right I made an appointment and have been coming here ever since. After a hard days work it’s always nice to here your barber ask if you want a cold one.👌
Very skilled barber and authentic old fashioned experience. Robs offers a beer or whiskey while getting the haircut, which is great ;)
Robs is legendary... After your first visit you will see why. Awesome cuts, sweet fades and dapper look. First class gentlemens establishment.Cheers!
Picture this: a vintage barber shop in a historical block of business, across the road from Fair Park. Rockabilly and hillbilly music playing over the radio, cold beer in the fridge, mens magazines on the racks, and a third generation barber whos an artist with the clippers.Been coming to Rob for at least 5 years now, and Ive never been disappointed once. Great music on the radio, and good conversation with a guy whos been a Dallas staple for as long as I can remember. In fact, ever since my first haircut by him, my wife has literally banned me from going to any barber in town.Just remember, make an appointment! He doesnt do any walk-ins, and Ive seen him turn people way. Bonus points, get some of his pomade and gel. I dont let anything else near my medicine cabinet.
Ive been going to Rob in Dallas for about 2 years now. Many of his clients have been going much longer and its easy to see why. Prior to going to Rob, every few hair cuts I would get would be an utter disaster from whatever hipstery, trendy place I happened to walk into. At this point, I dont even bother checking the mirror after visiting Robs chop shop. Its always perfect. Rob specializes in classic and traditional hair cuts and styles. His barbershop alone is worth the trip - its like stepping into a museum of classic barbering. Many of the aforementioned trendy shops popping up are just pantomiming the experience. Not Robs - its authentic, down-to-earth and unpretentious, just like man himself. By far the best barber in Dallas and beyond.
One Man Show!!Rob is the man to go to for a haircut in Dallas... After holding off on finding a barber in Dallas, I finally decided to let Yelp guide my decision. While there are multiple barbers/salons that are rated high, Robs Chop Shop stood out because most (if not all) reviewers vouched that Rob was their go to guy. Plus, his shop was voted on the top in D Magazine/other voting articles. So, I second the statement that other reviewers have made, and while I am in Dallas, I will return to Rob for a haircut.His shop is located on Parry Ave. For people driving, you can park on 1st/2nd Ave or Exposition. I recommend calling in and making an appointment early as I mentioned he is one barber and caters to one client at a time. Also note that it is a Gentlemans establishment (no funky business in here, just a male sanctuary where you can have a beer, kick back, get a haircut, and have some guy chat) so please respect the protocol. As I mentioned, he offers you free beer/water while you wait/get a haircut and indulges in some great conversation. The shop is vintage/classy and Rob has his own line of hair/beard products.Now on to the cut, I told Rob what I wanted and he went to work. Almost 60 minutes for my cut, Rob was meticulous and precise and his experience was apparent. A warm shaving cream and straight razor trim ended the cut followed by a quick massage of the shoulders and neck (hand held massager which does its job well too). He used beard oil and an aftershave and I was done with a perfect cut that received a lot of compliments from my friends.
Love this place been going there for over five years feel like a new man when get out that chair nothing like a great hair cut and a free beer. Never find a place like this
Rob always gives me a clean cut, love this place been going for the pass 5 years
TJ did a great job with my hair, very cool atmosphere and not as expensive as I thought. Definitely plan on being a repeat customer
The reviews dont lie! I have been going here and only here since I moved to Dallas two years ago. The work Rob does is excellent and the atmosphere of his shop is extremely laid back. I always recommend my friends to get their next cut here.
After months of looking for a decent barber, I found Robs Chop Shop on yelp. Rob is extremely professional and knows exactly what his clients are looking for. After a hair-cut gone bad at another shop, Rob managed to save it. He is a busy man and takes appts only, so make sure you give him some heads-up. I will recommend this place to all my local friends!
My friend recommended Rob’s Chop Shop to me and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every experience. 10/10.
Great place to get a haircut without breaking the bank. I have had a great haircut with all of the folks there.
Always enjoyed my experience here. Family friendly barbershop with high quality barbers that ensure clients are happy and cut clean.
Worth the hour drive!! love the look and feel, Best shop in DFW Robs the best hands down.
Head and shoulders above the rest. Great atmosphere and even better conversation.
A real barber shop. Probably the only legitimate one in town. Obviously by appointment only and I’d recommend hanging out for a bit for the authentic experience.
