In-room grooming at Hotel June Malibu

Set near Point Dume, Hotel June Malibu offers mid-century bungalows across about four acres of grounds with a running stream. A heated pool, lounge and hammocks in select bungalows keep the mood easygoing. Bikes and surfboards are available for guests.

The property is a getaway from the city, and an in-room cut lets guests keep the slow pace of their stay. A suite becomes a private barbershop for the length of the appointment, then simply a suite again, with nothing left behind but a sharper reflection.

Private. Convenient. Always on time.

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.

From 28920 Pacific Coast Hwy, guests are minutes from Point Dume State Beach, Zuma Beach and Malibu Country Mart. Ben covers all of Malibu and the surrounding areas of Calabasas, Agoura Hills and Pacific Palisades, at the hotel or wherever the day leads.
