We value hair inclusivity —
At Lil’ Chop we offer a variety of services meant to meet the needs of all hair types.
From kinky coil curls to pin straight, we’re here to take care of your mane.

OUR STORY —
FROM THE TOP
(where it all started and how we got here)
Humble beginnings
01
In 2011, Martha Ellen Mabry set up shop in a humble basement on Berry Street, and Headchop was born. The one-chair-wonder/artist workshop quickly blossomed into a full-fledged specialty hair studio that focused on treating hair of all textures in its most native state —dry and natural.
Making waves
02
As Headchop made waves in NYC, it’s team swiftly grew. And soon enough, the days of walk-in services were gone. Our esteemed artists began booking their specialized services 1-2 months in advance.
A new extension
03.1
In 2022, Lil’ Chop was introduced as the express version of Headchop!
Lil’ Chop is here to offer quick, yet quality hair services. We’ve taken Headchop’s top requested chop and styling services to create an atmosphere providing to our folks on the go! Our express studio provides perks with quarterly memberships, group bookings for you plus a crew, and a genuinely new way to experience being taken care of ;)
