Chop Chop Salon Los Angeles

Midway between downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean is Chop Chop Salon: a top hair salon that is a splendid collision of art and hairdressing. The creative force behind the salon is owner and Bay-Area native, Darin Birchler. A hair stylist for more than 18 years, Birchler apprenticed with Suiki Lohr of Architects and Heroes in San Francisco, where he learned Sassoon's advanced hair-cutting techniques. The famed though now-defunct salon provided Birchler with the foundation for a successful career and the concept of integrating an art gallery and hair salon.
