Chopshop in short
Chopshop is a small Telford barber chain with branches in Madeley, Wellington and the town centre, offering walk-in cuts with a published per-branch price list. A loyalty card scheme and discounted senior rates run every day. Our review finds the most convenient cut in this round for anyone who will not book ahead.
The record shows a barber chain rather than a single shop: Madeley, Wellington and town-centre branches with walk-in cuts as the norm and a booking app alongside, plus a loyalty card and daily senior rates. The Madeley company behind the chain is on the public register and active. The service area on the record spans Telford with Madeley and Wellington named, and the published price list runs branch by branch.
What customers say about Chopshop is the honest caveat: our headline rating is 3.9 from 127 Google reviews, the weakest in this round. That sits well below every salon here. The reviews themselves carry the detail; convenience is the offer, universal love is not. That is the honest price of walk-in convenience, and the price list stays the compensation.
What else counts against Chopshop, in our judgement, is paperwork: no insurance details or sourced qualifications are on the record. For that, the price list is unusually complete, down to junior, senior and child rates. That price list is the compensation for walk-in bookers.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Chopshop suits you if you want a walk-in barber with branches across Telford and prices on the wall before you sit down [1] [2]. What counts against it is the review record: 3.9 out of 5 from 127 Google ratings is the weakest here [3]. Insurance and qualifications are not on the record either.

Questions about Chopshop
Is Chopshop any good?
Good for convenience rather than acclaim: three walk-in branches, a full price list and senior discounts, set against the round's weakest Google rating. Weigh the reviews before you go and pick your branch carefully. If walk-in suits your week and the trade-off is clear to you, just turn up and take your turn.
Is Chopshop registered with a trade scheme?
No. Industry qualifications can't be sourced for Chopshop from the registers, its website or the platforms checked, and it claims no scheme membership. Hairdressing and barbering carry no mandatory registration, so paperwork gaps are common here. The published price list and open branches say more. Ask the shop about qualifications when you visit.
How much does Chopshop charge?
A full per-branch price list is published, with Telford men's cuts at £17.50 and ladies' dry cuts at £30, plus junior, senior and child rates and free first cuts for babies. Those are on-the-wall prices rather than estimates. Check the board for your branch before you sit down in the chair.
Where is Chopshop?
Chopshop runs three Telford-area branches across Madeley, Wellington and the town centre, with addresses and hours on its website. Walk-ins are the norm with a booking app alongside for planners. Pick the branch that suits your route and check its hours on the website before you set out for your cut.
How is Chopshop ranked?
Chopshop ranks eighth of the ten hairdressers in our September round, carried by three branches, walk-in cuts and a complete price list. The round's weakest review record holds it here in eighth. Read the full review, weigh the ratings against the convenience, then walk in at your chosen branch with the price list in mind.
What areas does Chopshop cover?
The service area on the record spans Telford with Madeley and Wellington named, matching its three branches across Madeley, Wellington and the town centre. Each branch carries its own price list and hours on the website. Pick the branch nearest your route and check its hours. Walk in or use the booking app for your cut.
How do I get a quote from Chopshop?
Read the per-branch price list on the website, where Telford men's cuts and ladies' dry cuts sit alongside junior, senior and child rates. Walk-in prices are on the wall, so the quote is the list rather than a negotiation. Senior rates run daily with a loyalty card alongside. Check the board for your branch before you sit down.
What do customers say about Chopshop, and how does it compare?
Customers rate it 3.9 from 127 Google reviews, the weakest record in this round and well below every salon here. Convenience is the offer rather than universal love: no rival matches three walk-in branches with a complete price list. Weigh that trade-off on the review. If branches beat ratings for you, just turn up.
