Longtime local barber Donnie Knupp is hoping his new North Main Street location, affectionately known as “Da Chop Shop,” will grow into a pillar of the Washington community.

He unveiled the new barbershop at a public ribbon cutting on Wednesday afternoon.

Knupp, 38, has worked at shops across his hometown for 18 years, specializing in fades and straight razor shaves.

Prices for a men’s haircut at his 80 N. Washington St. location start at $30, with discounts available for veterans, students and children.

Knupp said he enjoys making conversation with his clients and creating a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

“I just like cleaning people up, making them feel good about themselves,” Knupp said, “A good shop can be a pillar of the community if used in the right way.”

Da Chop Shop is open for walk in and advance appointments from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with more information available online at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575415856128.
