Chip's Chop Shop

Chip’s Chop Shop is an upcoming barbershop in the South Hills with a mission to provide an experience to satisfy the customers' needs. We believe in providing a quality service paired with products to maintain a grooming routine that makes our gentlemen look and feel their best. Our modern barbershop was created as an oasis to encourage camaraderie with good company to shape the future generations of our community.

Chelsea has been cutting out of a studio in Sola Salons at The Galleria of Mt Lebanon for four years. She started with only a handful of customers, family, and friends. Thanks to each and every one of her customers for referring their own family, friends, and coworkers, the business grew to where it is now: maxed out! There’s not much room for new customers, therefore it’s time to move on and expand. 

We're happy to offer some additional exciting perks to our community investors!
All investors will receive an invite to our pre-opening party. Tour the space, and hang out with Chip and the team!

Chelsea Gaydos, the Lady Barber also known as “Chip”, is the owner of a single chair haircutting business located inside the Galleria of Mt Lebanon. Her experience in the industry dates back to 2008 when her vocational training started. Since then she has narrowed down her services to find exactly what her gift is: men’s haircutting. Chelsea received well-rounded training from attending two different schools, has work experience in both private and corporate hair salons, barbershops, managed a six-chair barber shop for two years, and finally owning a studio of her own for four years.

With Chelsea’s knowledge and enthusiasm for barbering, she is eager to share her experience with other barbers and service a broader range of customers under the identity of the Chip’s Chip Shop brand and mission.
