The Cut By is a hair salon and barbershop on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, serving men and women. Men's grooming, including beard trims, shaves and neck cleanups, sits alongside cuts, color, extensions, perms and treatments for longer and textured hair.
The shop was opened by Shane Middleton, who is listed as the master hair stylist behind it. The salon describes its service as top-tier grooming and style. Its team includes master barbers, color specialists, a long and curly hair expert and extension specialists, each listed with their own focus.
Visits start with a complimentary consultation for first-time guests, and first-time bleach and tone bookings include a free consultation too. Clients who are unsure which service they need can book a free color consultation. Color correction is priced after a consultation, based on how severe the issue is and the result the client wants. Creative color is quoted after a free consultation, starting at $600.
Color services are arranged in a color bar and include dimensional highlights, luxe balayage, ombre, platinum and ice blonde, vivid and fashion colors, gray blending and coverage, root revival and a signature gloss and shine treatment. Full blonding balayage is priced from $600 to $900 and is described as very light and high-contrast, while full balayage for medium to long hair is $450.
Wedding hair services are not offered at the salon itself. They are provided at Calamigos Guest Ranch, including custom designs for wedding parties and events. The salon also sells its own merchandise, Middleton's hair products, a Rebel Roots brush and comb set, and R+Co products through a link on its shop page.
The salon combines precision with personal service, shaping each cut and color around the individual client. Consultations are offered up front so the right service can be chosen before any work begins.
