The shop
On Manchester Ave since 2009.
A neighborhood barbershop built on the old-school ritual: take a seat, get the hot towel, leave sharp.
A Cut Above The Rest has been cutting hair on Manchester Ave since 2009, open seven days a week with the door open to walk-ins and appointments alike.
The shop is kid friendly, the vibe is South LA, and the ritual is old school. Come check out the crew: the shop lives on Instagram, where the feed stays full of fresh cuts, clean fades, and sharp lineups.
Instagram counts from September 2026. The shop also keeps 422 posts of cuts on the feed.
