John Lloyd - Director & Co-Founder
John Lloyd is the driving force behind Chop Hair Studio, a creative hub where barbering and hairstyling meet precision, purpose, and personality. With decades in the industry and an appetite for growth that never wanes, John’s journey has taken him from early technical foundations to leading a studio that pushes boundaries in both craft and community.
Today, his time is split between guiding Chop’s vision and shaping the skills of hair professionals around the world. Through international education and coaching, John works alongside global educators, sharing advanced techniques, systems, and a mindset rooted in precision cutting, creative adaptability, and thoughtful execution. This global perspective and deep commitment to growth have helped build connections that elevate both Chop and the wider hair community, inviting leading educators into Malaysia and giving the team opportunities to collaborate with respected brands and creative partners.
At the core of John’s work is a belief that great hair is built on a foundation of listening, technical clarity, and continuous evolution. Whether in the studio chair or on stage teaching, he’s shaping the next generation of stylists and barbers while keeping Chop at the forefront of craft, culture, and creativity.
Tian Loh - Director & Co-Founder
Tian’s journey into men’s grooming started in Brisbane, Australia. What began with apprenticeships turned to travelling and working across various countries, hunger for knowledge - seeking different approaches stylists across the globe share towards hair, chasing a deeper passion for getting cuts to feel and look right, not just trendy. Along the way, he built international connections with industry leaders, occasionally joining John on global stages and representing the CHOP brand together.
Today, Tian brings that global perspective straight to each client in his chair. He’s all about precision, cutting with purpose and intention while balancing practicality and creativity. Every haircut is tailored to the individual, not the other way around, so you walk out looking and feeling like you, only sharper.
Beyond the chair, Tian has co-created CHOP as a space for stylists and barbers to grow and refine their craft. The studio gives talented individuals the tools, guidance, and opportunities to elevate their skills and build a more fulfilling career, helping them take both their purpose and their lives to the next level.
