One of the best barbers I've found in LA. Came across his IG portfolio when searching for one and the pics looked good so I looked him up on yelp and the reviews all looked good so I booked an appointment to get a cut. That was a couple months ago now I'm coming to him every two to three weeks to get it touched up so my cut always looks fresh. I never tried to walk in I always book an appointment but I think he takes walk ins as well. He always seems to have a steady stream of customers before my appts and after my appts so id still recommend booking in advance. I just book on his app and use my cc. Never got a bad cut from the guy or seen any of the people before me get one. Definitely worth checking out if your unhappy with your current barber or a free agent looking for someone new and skilled, just check out his picture portfolio and you'll see it's all clean and fresh and pretty diverse. read more

The BEST!!!! I recently moved here from South Central LA and was on the hunt for a barber for a loooong time. I checked out all the spots that were supposed to be "it"-It wasn't!! Finally after searching around on IG, I came across Sy, thank you baby Jesus, LOL! When I first came in for a cut my hair line was alllll f'd up, I mean majorly. Sy fixed that right on up. His skills are up and his cuts are fire. I would consider myself a regular and I must say, I've never left the shop not looking right. My lines are crispy and my fades or tapers are on point. If youre looking to get right every single time, check Sy out, the BEST in the valley hands down. THANKS SY! read more

I recently moved to the area from san diego, where i had a really good barber. after months of looking i walked into A Cut Above barbershop and i was greeted by Sy who took me as a walk-in.

I will never let another barber touch my hair. Sy is the truth with the clippers and the straight razor. I highly recommend giving him a shot. He won't let you down. read more

It was my 12 year old son's first haircut!! He was done with having "dad" haircuts. My son gets very anxious and was very particular in what he wanted. Sy delivered big!! He did a great job and was patient cutting and styling his hair. Didn't even rush to try to fit anyone in where he could've made more money doing so. Such a stand up guy! Can't say enough about his skills! Definitely coming back ! Thank you Sy for making my son happy and confident read more

Sy is the man. I found him by just walking in once at another barber shop. I've followed him since. He just knows how to fade and cut my hair. He's great with all types of hair and any style. I've sent some of friends to his shop and they all love his work. He's a cool dude that will joke around with you, but at the same time provide professional and dedicated work. Make sure to book an appointment with him. Best barber I've had hands down! read more

Sy is hands-down one of the best barbers in the Valley. I saw some of his work through IG and I must say, I'm blessed to have found him. His impressive portfolio of haircuts really speaks for itself. Sy is not only creative with the flick of the wrist, but he's a smart business man and is also quite entertaining with his occasional bad singing and good voice impressions. Look no further, Sy's your guy! Make an appointment NOW!!! read more

Sy is the only barber that will get you right. Sy fixed up what another barber messed up in Hollywood. Sometimes I wonder what shitty barber I would've ended up if he didn't take me in last minute. Ever since then I've been a loyal customer going to get cut every two to three weeks. Sy is the best barber in town that makes you feel at home with the precision better than a machine when it comes to the blades. read more

It's hard to find a good barber, but once you do you stick with them. I was referred to Sy by a friend and my first cut was the day of my wedding back on November 2017. I was so impressed with his barber skills that I've been coming back ever since. I recently moved to DTLA from NY and I happily drive 40 minutes to an hour sometimes just to get a cut. It's that serious! Sy can fade better than Kobe! read more

Sy hooked my 6 year old up! To start, the shop itself is dope. Clean, professional atmosphere, and not overcrowded. He lined up my son (fixed a previous Barber's mistake) making sure he didn't push his natural hairline back and the fade action is on point. For those of you who don't know...finding someone that can maintain the hairline is CRUCIAL for young boys. Sy made it happen! read more

He does an amazing work! read more

Sy is by far one of the best barbers I've had cut my hair. Getting my hair cut has always been stressful as I trust very few people. Not only is he good at what he does but is also about the hustle.
