Noho Barbershop, 5632 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601, US

There's an old-school meets hip-hop feel at the barber shop known as Hi Life Products & Services. It's set back in a strip mall, but easily located thanks to its bright silver door. Inside, customers can relax in a lounge-like waiting room while waiting for a barber's chair to open up. A deluxe chess set and massive selection of magazines help pass the time. Cold beverages are available from a countertop cooler unit. A well-appointed fish tank, flat-screen TV and a few neon signs contribute to the classy and cool vibe. As for the cuts, shaves and hairstyles available here, Hi Life has a saying: "We don't follow trends, we set standards."
