In-room grooming at The Hollywood Grande, Autograph Collection

Formerly Thompson Hollywood, the hotel joined Marriott's Autograph Collection in 2025. It has a rooftop pool and lounge with views of the Hollywood Hills. The building sits among the restaurants and nightlife of central Hollywood.

Guests nearby for studio sessions, shoots and nightlife often want a cut fitted between commitments rather than a salon visit. There is no salon to find and no waiting room. Ben comes up to the room, works neatly, and is gone before the next call time.

One call. One text. A sharper you.

Every appointment carries the standard of a man who has owned four barbershops and kept his licenses current in barbering and cosmetology across multiple states. Seventeen years in, Ben's specialty is still the short men's cut and the beard, done precisely. Fades, tapers, waves, edges and beards are the core of what he does, and he is equally at home with a slicked side part, a textured crop or a fresh set of waves.

The address, 1541 N Wilcox Ave, puts The Hollywood Grande, Autograph Collection near Hollywood Palladium, Amoeba Music and Hollywood and Vine. Whether the plan is dinner, a premiere or an early flight, Ben can time the appointment around it, here or anywhere in Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz and West Hollywood.

There is one way to book and it is fast: a call or a text to 608-201-7717. He is available 24/7, including holidays. Haircuts start at $150, the standard daytime rate is $300, and travel distance and time of day set the final number.
