In-room grooming at Hotel Figueroa

Built in 1926 by the YWCA as a hotel for women travelers, the Figueroa keeps its Spanish Colonial bones and tile work. Its pool is known for an unusual coffin-like shape. It is now part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection.

Its spot across from L.A. LIVE makes it a practical base for guests attending concerts, games or award shows nearby. 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.

Ben holds licenses in barbering and cosmetology in multiple states. Before Los Angeles he built and ran four barbershops, and his chair has since followed entertainers on tour and onto television and music video sets. Rod Wave, Polo G and Lamar Odom are among the names who have sat with him. The menu is focused: men's short haircuts, beard trims and sculpting, line-ups, waves and head shaves. He works with every hair type and every background, which is exactly how he has always run his chair.

The address, 939 S Figueroa St, puts Hotel Figueroa near Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater and Los Angeles Convention Center. Whether the plan is dinner, a premiere or an early flight, Ben can time the appointment around it, here or anywhere in Downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, Arts District and Echo Park.

Booking is direct, with no app and no form: call or text Ben at 608-201-7717. Cuts start at $150, $300 is standard from 11am to 7pm, and the final price reflects travel distance and the hour. He is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
