This is the place! For the past six years Ive been driving to Minneapolus and paying a lot more for haircuts. No more! I didnt know a place like this existed in Eau Claire. It definitely has an urban vibe. These guys really know what they are doing. It is what youd expect in a much larger city. If youre looking for a cheap strip mall haircut you probably wont like it.
Always the finest! I drive the distance to get the best and consistency! Since meeting Chris F., 4 years ago now, my nephew (13) with mixed ethnicity hair has never had a bad hair cut! Its not just Chris...Im always observing and I would never hesitate to use any barber in that shop!Sidenote: Always great conversations and a fun time! Worth the stop!!!
Loved the atomosphere and the barbers were awesome! Go Chapin and team!
Ive got my haircut at Chips on three separate occasions and not once have I been satisfied! The facility has an awkward setup and the vibe is uninviting. All the hair cutting stations are at the front of the barbershop and the waiting area is at a bar in the back. The lady that cut my hair the first time seemed to know exactly what I wanted the moment I explained it to her. I still showed a picture just in case. She turned me towards the mirror, pulled my 4 inch hair up, and cut three inches off the top of my head. I was instantly anxious and all I could think was that Im paying $30 for a haircut I could get at Great clips. I spent the next 3 months looking like Moe Howard from The Three stooges. 🙄😒 Aside from the fact that I now had a bowl cut, she said it wouldnt look good unless I styled it. So she slapped some gel onto my head and gave it a nice greasy look flopping over my forehead!! A few months later I went back but decided to choose someone different. I was getting a haircut for prom and once I told the barber when I wanted he said I wouldnt look good with that haircut. So he told me what I should get......yeah..... Overall the haircut looked good but it was nothing that I wanted and it looked super basic. Today I went back for the third time and Ive made the decision to never return. I told the barber what I wanted and he said he didnt think it would look good so I made some tweaks in my decision. The last thing he said before cutting my hair was, Ok, I think I can do this?Love the confidence Chris, very reassuring.During my haircut the barber seemed more indulged in the conversation he was having then my hair which he was cutting. A conversation which was very inappropriate in a work setting. Constant cussing and racial slurs being thrown around. The fact that there were children around didnt make it any better! I was very meticulate and specific on what I wanted my hair to look like. $30 isnt exactly a cheep haircut! I could tell the barber was getting annoyed with me by his rush to finish and walking over to the paying counter before I got out of my chair.I wont be back and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY!
Great place, everyone that works there will take care of you whatever you want done to make you look good and feel confident. Highly recommended in my opinion.
So much attention to detail on their cuts! Great owner that gives back to the community as well!
I really appreciate Chips! Im not used to going to an actual barber, but now that I have a little more I understand why people are willing to pay more than the cheap quick cut places. The first time I went in the cut was absolutely perfect and for the first time in a long time I was confident and happy with how it looked. Second time, although with the same barber, it was substantially different. But I understand it takes a while to know your client and their taste, so I still definitely plan to go back.Anyways, definitely nothing wrong with the place, and its an enjoyable place to get a cut with a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to my friends!
Yet another awesome experience at Chips! 5 star quality with 5 star service!
My man Omar never disappoints. Best fades Ive ever gotten.
Great place to get a haircut and shave, with other services available. Excellent staff.
It was my first time at Chips and I couldn’t be more pleased with the cut. Chip is a magician with the clippers and he takes his time to get you right. I highly recommend going to Chips if you need a cut, trim, or fade.The staff is also super friendly and the shop is a vibe itself. They also have a dope clothing line that I’ll be repping.Whether I’m in Eau Claire or the Twin Cities I’ll definitely take time out of my day to visit Chips for a cut.
Best cut and beard trim Ive found in EC.
I take my boys here. They see Chris each time. He has done a great job with them. They are very particular about their cuts and he does well with my youngest who doesnt typically sit still well. However, he does for Chris. Cant go wrong here. I suggest an appointment since they are always busy/booked up and for a good reason. I would not go anywhere else in this area. Im pleased to see they also have a woman in the mix now as well. Definitely a must see place if you are looking for a great cut...edge...get lined up...or whatever!!
Every now and then circumstances will have me dropping in somewhere else for a haircut, and its usually fine or whatever. But I would never go anywhere else if I KNEW I had to look especially good or sharp for a wedding, a date or some kind of event. Its always Chips if ive got a big night coming up. Best haircuts hands down, every time. Im done dropping in anywhere else. The difference in the quality of the cut is too great. Gotta be Chips!
I brought my 6 year old son in for his first in chair haircut, couldn’t be happier, looks incredible! Great job.
They were great with my nephew! Hes not one to like anyone near his face but his hair was amazing! So was the barber who did his hair. Going tomarrow to get my daughters hair cut and cornrolled.
Always do a great job. Cool kick back vibe
Bad ExperienceI am new to Eau Claire and was looking for a barbershop. Chip’s was referred to me by several people and the online reviews were positive. Unfortunately the experience and atmosphere at Chip’s was not at all what I expected. Based on the website, reviews, and services listed, I was under the impression Chip’s was a classic men’s barber shop. However, upon arrival it appeared to be a mix of a salon and barber. There were patrons receiving services not listed on Chip’s website.Customer service in general was subpar. I was not greeted or acknowledged upon entering and the barber was running late. I felt very uncomfortable as well due to inappropriate and vulgar conversations taking place within the shop. Service prices were never given or shown to me, and for the job and experience I received, I would never pay that amount again.I showed a picture of what style haircut and beard trim I was looking for. The barber did not communicate or ask follow up questions about the style and was sporadic in her work alternating between trimming my hair and beard. The impression I got was she wanted to just get it done and do it her own way. Poor rapport and communication resulted in an unsatisfied haircut and beard trim that was not close to the style that had been shown.Overall it was a disappointing experience. I would not recommend Chip’s if you’re looking for a classic old-school style barbershop.
Edgar is a great barber! Fairly personable and does a really awesome job with fades. Couldnt recommend it more!
Attention to detail! Expert hair stylists
Quality music and quality cuts...
This place has got a really cool vibe! The barbers and stylist really know whats up and JP is the real deal. Definitely will be going back! Highly recommended
Hands down best place to get your hair cut in the chippewa valley... they even find a way to make me look good.
It was the friken best place ever 1000/10
Fantastic, friendly staff and a top quality haircut!
They cut my grandsons hair and really did a great job. They were prompt in addressing our appointment. The atmosphere is wonderful. Great job.
Hands down the best place in Eau Claire to get a fresh cut! Chip is a true artist... And never fails to leave you feeling confident and looking your best. Highly recommend!
Chip was AMAZING with my little guy! This was his 2nd haircut in life and he’s 5 years old! Chips tone was very welcoming and calm when talking to him. Thank you for being so patient and living towards him!
Always love rocking my fresh look when leaving Chips!!!
Best Barbers in town! Unmatchable vibe and convenient online booking!
I recommend Edger he cares about the work he does.
Great cuts friendly staff
Best barbers in town! Nice and clean shop and friendly staff all around. THis is the only place ill go get my hair or beard done.
Great Barbers and conversation. Highly recommend Chapin and his team, been getting my hair cut here for the better part of 5 years.
Chip was able to take a mess of a head and turn it into gold for my wedding day. Will return without question. Thanks Chip!
Absolutely amazing!! Great atmosphere!! Everyone is extremely professional!
I could tell these guys were passionate about cutting hair. I was very pleased with the level of expertise I received. If they would have been on time to my appt after their lunch break this is 5-stars. Call me old school, but 15 minutes late back from lunch isnt very professional, especially if no one is in the building and the doors are locked.
Great atmosphere, quality haircuts
Great atmosphere, good people
Great hair cuts and genuine people
If you want a pro level cut come here, When I moved to Eau Claire from the east coast I couldnt find a decent cut anywhere, I go to Kev on a regular basis, I wouldnt go anywhere else. All the guys here are great and can be trusted to give you a fresh cut, straight lines. Great atmosphere, good jokes. You will never feel your haircut is rushed. Kev is really personable, and always takes a lot of time into your cut, never rushed, exceptional attention to detail. Schedule an appointment, they are busy for a reason!
The guys all do a great job! Just remember to schedule apt online. They do not do walk ins
Amazing place to go.
Took my 12 year old son there for his second cut. First time was Chip and the second was Chris. Both did a fine job and my son who doesnt care for haircuts commented that he actually really liked the cut by Chris. That is saying something coming from a tween.
Best place to visit for a REAL guys haircut, shave, or lining. Would DEFINITELY recommend over and over. I even take my son, and hes only four.
JP is great 👍
As far as Im concerned its the best place in Eau Claire to get a mens haircut.
My son loves going to grt his hair cut here.
Horrible customer service. I went to get a gift card and also had an appointment set up to get my sons haircut and we were both treated without respect or patience. Chip was short and uninterested in helping my son feel more comfortable getting a haircut. He didnt take no time to even sit down and try to talk to my son at all, just basically told me he doesnt have time for us (as I had an appointment set up) we were there MAYBE 15-20 mins, and on top of that, theres multiple addresses listed online and was not that easy to find, I tried calling to find out which address was right but no one answered.Im very disappointed In the overall experience here, and doubt Ill return. Ill also be letting everyone I know, know what kind of experience we had. 👍
Kinda pricey but they did a good job on my cut.
Best place in the 715 for a haircut team of great barbers
Our son goes there loves getting his hair cute there and they do really good job
Chapin is great! He books up fast though! We will definitely go again!
Felt profiled
Damn they made me feel at home, great barbers definitely coming back.
It be vibein...
Saw Kev. He did an excellent job. Ill definitely be back to see him.
Not at all what I asked for.
Edgar is the Goat
Great barbers, very friendly
👎👎👎👎 do not recommend to anyone.
Great place to get a haircut
Worst experience ever in a barbershop, racist and not professional at all, sprayed the after shave cologne inside my nose, eyes and all over my face...worest part of a wedding weekend visit to Eau claire
Its nice and a good price
Great haircut, great service.
HORRIBLE ! Horrible service, the barbers were rude as hell to my children and I, one barber said “ I don’t have time for this “ as my child is crying and definitely didn’t make us feel welcome ! And it has 3 addresses and I couldn’t find it and nobody answered the phone for help either !! HORRRIIIBBLEEEEE
If you want the best, head to Chips.
Good fast service
Its the only place to get a real haircut...man or woman
Good haircuts in great gear
My boys are always 💯 on point.
Always get the perfect cut
DOES ANYONE EVER ANSWER THE PHONE ?!? HORRIBLE SERVICE!!
