About Lil' Chop Salon

As a sibling brand to Headchop Studio in Williamsburg, Lil' Chop services a wide range of clientele specializing in dry cutting, natural curls, and textured hair. We are a commission-based salon with a large and diverse range of clients. The concept behind Lil' Chop is to make what we do at Headchop accessible to more people.

Lil' Chop stylists work with assistants so they can maximize their time behind the chair. We specialize in dry cutting only and provide services to curly and textured hair clients that are not widely available. Everyone deserves amazing hair no matter the texture! The design of our salon, and its concept excluding long and time-consuming color processes, will allow for an ability to service more people in a day.

We are a woman-owned, queer business that proudly supports the LGBTQI+ community in New York. Headchop currently partners with The Gay Center NYC providing internships and is excited to grow and extend this relationship at Lil' Chop!

What We're Excited About

• Our custom styling bar for our Quickie services! (providing in-and-out blowout and natural curl set styling)
• Salon assistants — they are the growth of the salon! Our future stylists and your kind and excited helper!
• Hooded dryer chairs... LOTS! We use them all day long. We service so many clients with natural curl and texture.
• Products! We work with Ecoslay (a Black-owned, woman-owned small business based in Atlanta) and R+Co!
• Atmosphere! Think skylights, windows, industrial beams, a thriving neighborhood, and local community support!
• Lil' Chop Mobile — We've got our own personalized app for easy booking on the go!
• Lil' Members — We will provide membership options to clients interested in our style bar. Memberships build a community and culture, and that's where Lil' Chop and Headchop thrive!

Our team of stylists work with salon assistants, allowing growth of their own time and work, as well as facilitating a culture of collaboration. Lil' Chop is a place to grow your personal brand of styling and work with like-minded creatives that love to share and evolve together.

Requirements

• High skill level in dry cutting
