We’ve compiled a list of eight great places to
get your ears lowered. Opie, this is not your
father’s corner Barber Shop, and pampering
is not just for the high heeled set anymore.
LA is home to some of the coolest, hippest
and down right most unique spots to hang a
pair of shears. Want smooth jazz, a cocktail
and high prices? We’ve got that. Like
looking at the tattooed set, or want one of
your own after you get a trim? We’ve got
that too. And everything in between.
The Shave 230 S. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills,
310.888.2898
www.theshavebeverlyhills.com
Why: The who, what, where, when and how of cool
happens at this old school upscale joint, and after
a shave here, you will be all that too.
Old Glory Barber Shop 1716 Main St., Venice, 310-821-1103
www.oldglorybarbershop.com
Why: This local shop in the heart of Venice
offers a social club vibe with great music, only a
block away from the beach. Besides getting your
bangs cut, you can also get inked, as this hang
doubles as a tattoo parlor. How’s that for
multi-tasking?
Phil’s Barber Shop 12761 W. Washington Blvd., Los Angeles,
310.574.1971
Why: Phil’s is the last of a dying breed. This
is the type of barber shop your father, maybe even
your grandfather went to for cuts. And they don’t
have a website. And they don’t take credit cards.
Rudy’s Barber Shop Multiple locations in Downtown Los Angeles,
Hollywood, Silverlake, and Santa Monica. Check
website for the address closest to your hood.
www.rudysbarbershop.com
Why: This reinvented barbershop combines music,
style, art, and affordable haircuts in a casual
environment. The website says their cuts are cheap
and sexy. Maybe after a visit, you will be too.
Shorty’s Barber Shop 755 N. Fairfax Ave., West Hollywood,
323.297.0554
www.shortysbarbershop.com
Why: Shorty’s eclectic and stylish crew caters
to your needs with today’s styles, as well as your
classic favorites. And they have the coolest logo
ever for a sign.
Syndicate Barber Shop 2749 E. Broadway, Long Beach, 562.433.7733
www.myfoxla/syndicate
Why: Syndicate brings back the spirit of the
true neighborhood barber shop, if your
neighborhood is heavily tattooed. Full sleeves
welcomed.
Floyd’s Barber Shop Multiple locations in Hermosa Beach, on Melrose,
in Santa Monica, Studio City and now in Venice.
Click it to find the one closet to you.
www.floydsbarbershop.com
Why: Floyd’s talented and skilled staff ensure

a relaxed, urban experience. It’s also a chain, but
in this case, that’s ok.
Mark Matthew Fine Gentlemen’s Grooming Club 12175 Ventura Blvd., 2nd floor, Studio City,
818.980.0022
www.markmatthew.net

met. They offer an oversized lounge with large flat
panel televisions, soothing jazz music, comfortable
