After years of slaying the high-end grooming game in New York and Cleveland award-winning barbershop Frank's Chop Shop has just opened its first location in Los Angeles. Sitting at 8209 Melrose Avenue across from Decades boutique, the spot is now hosting traditional, by-appointment-only cuts and shaves for gents in an interior that looks like a blast from the past, with classic 1930s vintage chairs and Hollywood vanity lights, complemented by a purple Hot Rod Powerplant motorcycle in the foyer.

In addition to doubling as a fully-functioning art gallery, the 2,000-square-foot space also sells Frank's signature caps and even complimentary cocktails in a lounge setting. Take another peek at the space below and book your man's $50 cut or shave here.

Frank's Chop Shop LA is open by-appointment daily from 12 to 10pm.
