Meet our hair wizards, style whisperers and certified cool people.
The Chop Shop Hair Co. team is stacked with talent, personality, and just the right amount of chaos. We’re not your average midtown Greensboro salon — unless your average includes killer cuts, strong opinions on toner, and a playlist that slaps.
Brandi Burns
owner • stylist • extension whisperer
Brandi’s been slinging scissors and slaying hair dreams for over a decade, but her salon story started way earlier — picture a kid hanging out in her grandma’s salon, inhaling hairspray like oxygen and falling head-first into a lifelong love affair with hair. From shampoo girl to salon boss, she’s done it all and still shows up looking like a walking Pinterest board (but cooler).
She’s got a thing for extensions, redheads, curls, razors, and balayage — basically, if it’s high maintenance and worth it, she’s your girl. Brandi specializes in making it look like you woke up like this (you didn’t?), with customized results that somehow feel effortless. Magic? Almost. Skill? Definitely.
Now she owns The Chop Shop Hair Co., where the vibes are good, the judgment is low, and the hair is next level. Come for the transformation, stay for the witty banter and dance breaks.
Mikayla Murray
stylist • vibe curator • Brandi’s salon ride-or-die
Mikayla’s the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps everything (and everyone) running smoothly. She does it all — color, styling, treatments, you name it — but she truly shines as Brandi’s third and fourth pair of hands, finishing each other’s sentences and sections.
Her blowouts? Unreal. Her styling skills? Mood-altering. Whether she’s smoothing, curling, fluffing, or fixing that one stubborn piece that just won’t lay right — Mikayla’s all about creating looks that feel as good as they look.
When she’s not making hair dreams happen, you’ll find her vibing to K-pop, snacking on sour candy, or turning the salon into a full-on music video moment.
Basically? She’s the secret sauce.
Makayla Smith
stylist • transformation junkie • matcha-fueled magic maker
Makayla doesn’t do boring hair. She’s all about the bold — think espresso brunettes, neon vivids, bouncy perms, and head-turning transformations that make you double-take (in the best way). With an eye for detail and a creative streak a mile wide, she turns hair appointments into full-on glow-ups (plus, her laugh is basically salon sunshine — you’ll hear it before you see her).
When she’s not behind the chair turning hair goals into reality, you’ll find her hunting for rare Pokémon cards at McKay’s, sipping iced matcha from Dunkin’, or serving as royal handmaiden to her cat Leia — the undisputed ruler of her world.
Want hair that speaks louder than words? Makayla’s your girl.
Alexandria Norton
stylist • blonding boss • safe space creator
Alexandria’s been soaking up salon life since before she could reach the shampoo bowl — learning from her grandma, sweeping up hair, and falling hard for the magic of a good transformation. Now, with three years behind the chair, she’s all in — crafting color that turns heads and grows out like a dream.
Her specialties? Blondes so bright they need a warning label, gray blends that grow out like a dream, and vivids that scream personality — all customized, all cared for. Alexandria’s chair is more than a styling station — it’s a judgment-free zone, a creativity lab, and a safe space for all, proudly rooted in her identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
If you’re after bold color, effortless vibes, and someone who gets you — Alexandria’s your person.
Megan Morrison
master stylist • color fixer • queen of the shag
Megan’s been bending the rules of hair for almost a decade — specializing in the bold, the funky, and the “wait, how did you even do that?” She’s your go-to for razor cuts, fades, color corrections, vivids, shags, mullets, and anything else that makes basic cry a little.
Her vibe? Effortlessly cool with a soft spot for houseplants and hair transformations. Megan doesn’t just do hair — she rescues it. Whether you’re fixing a color gone rogue or finally going for that full-on fantasy hue, she’ll talk you through it, mix the magic, and send you off looking like your unapologetic self.
Catch her at The Shop Hair Co., scissors in hand, playlist vibing, ready to give you the cut your alter ego’s been begging for.
Monica Hovorka
stylist • highlight heavyweight • 29-year hair vet with a killer laugh
Monica’s been in the hair game for 29 years — which basically means she’s seen it all (yes, even chunky 2000s highlights… and yes, she can fix them). Whether it’s a sun-kissed balayage, bold fashion color, a crisp cut, or subtle highs and lows that hit just right, Monica’s got the magic touch — and the calm, kind vibe to match.
New to the area but not new to making people feel amazing, Monica’s chair is a judgment-free zone full of good energy, great hair, and at least one laugh-out-loud moment (her clients don’t call her their unofficial therapist for nothing).
She’s the easygoing stylist who makes you feel instantly at home — and leaves you wondering how your hair ever survived without her.
