“ Mr. Chop It Up was AMAZING! I was there to support my friend in getting a haircut for graduation from Work USA. Mr. Chop It Up, not only delivered a fire cut and shape up, but offered solid words of life wisdom that was greatly appreciated. The before after photos speak for themselves. I would give him 10 stars if I could. ”
“ I had a great experience getting a haircut at this barbershop school. Kevin, my barber, was incredibly professional and skilled—it was clear he knows what he’s doing and takes great pride in his work. He listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. The attention to detail and precision were impressive, and I left feeling completely refreshed and confident. I highly recommend this place and especially Kevin. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next haircut! ”
“ I had a good experience on my first visit to ABI. My student/barber was professional and courteous. His work station was clean and organized. My blessings to the students to succeed in their career choice. ”
“ My brothers, do yourself a favor and practice some self care by visiting ABI! They also have vouchers to get your first cut free, check their website. All haircuts, shave, and facial massage 3 each visit. It's appreciated so tip the students - it can be a thankless profession and they're doing the best they can. Mike is one of the best and he's all straight talk haha Kevin is good too and just got my cut from Anthony - he took awhile but it was definitely worth it! I've made it a habit to go every 2 weeks. Remember, they're becoming professionals. Stay blessed ”
