Chaps

Great spot for a trim and cut. The barber, my new friend is very funny but I was worried he might trim too much when I was laughing. I highly recommend this spot. Thanks and see you next time

This might be a picky review, but so be it. The quality and skill of the barber, as well as the scheduling, were great. He clearly knows what he’s doing and has been doing it for a long time, and I was able to get a same-​day appointment only 90 minutes after I popped in.
That said, I got a beard trim that was 350 DKK – the same price as a full haircut. I won’t complain about paying a bit of a premium for great service, but this was easily triple what I would pay in the US at a decent barber.
Beyond that, though, the barber is «old-​school», which in this case means more than a little misogynist. He tried several conversational gambits that involved women being «crazy» or otherwise obviously inferior. This, in addition to his rather strong body odor, made things more than a little uncomfortable for someone who enjoys good modern hygiene and is much further along the feminist curve.
But hey, if you need a good shave or cut, you have the money and you don’t care about the barber’s odor or directly voiced social beliefs, this place is a great option.

Good haircut. Very friendly barber who speaks many languages. You can walk in and there isn’t too long of a line. It’s not cheap (~$ 50 USD), but nothing in this city is so hard to compare on a value basis really.

My haircut from Chaps was the best I’ve ever received, at home in the US or abroad. I came in with a mess of hair that hadn’t been cut in 10 weeks (I normally go every 3 weeks) and told Chaps, «I like my hair longer on top, shorter in the sides and back. Do whatever you think looks best,» and he did just that.
The haircut took about 30 minutes and I left feeling more confident than I ever have walking out of a barber/​salon. Chaps is a hilarious guy with a lot of stories and jokes, I’d go back just to talk to him.

Best place to get a great haircut and shave! We walked to Chaps after reading the reviews and were not disappointed! The owner is friendly, thorough and detailed! His story is interesting and fun to listen to. When I come back, I’ll be here for a haircut! 5 STARS!

Chaps is a great old school barber who gives solid hair cuts. My husband has gotten his hair cut twice at Chaps since we’ve moved to CPH and he hasn’t been disappointed yet.
We’ve never made an appointment, but I guess it couldn’t hurt to make one by giving Chaps a quick call. Walking in is no problem at all though. If you have to wait, there are plenty of seats and his shop is nice and cozy so you may end up chiming in whatever conversation that’s going on in the shop.
The owner/​barber takes his time with each cut and will adjust according to your liking. He constantly checks up with you to make sure that he’s giving you the cut you want. You can tell he’s been cutting hair for awhile. He even uses a straight razor to get those pesky back of the neck hairs. Apparently, a bunch of ex-​pats also frequent his shop so he’s ex-​pat friendly and easy to speak with in English.
The old school barbershop chairs, décor, and classic tunes also create a nice vibe. His prices may be a little steep (360kr for a regular haircut) but it’s cheaper than any of those high-​end salons where you might end up with some «on trend» cut that you didn’t want. And it’s pricier than the local shop around the corner because he actually takes his time with you and isn’t trying to churn out as many customers as possible.
His shop is also a block or two from the Kongens Nytorv station, so that’s an added plus.

Expensive; kr. 350 for the chincozy.
A pleasent atmosphere with Italiano opera in the background.
There are better places… And i will wait a week or to for them to have a timeslot.
Ps: don’t go.
Spending 6 months growing a beard and then having it f’d up is kind of sad.
