The barber who comes to Hotel Maya, a DoubleTree by Hilton

Hotel Maya sits on the waterfront across Queensway Bay from downtown Long Beach. Its grounds include a pool with cabanas and lawns facing the skyline. Design details draw on Latin American art and color.

Guests in town for the Long Beach Grand Prix, conventions or events at the Queen Mary can get a cut before heading out. The visit is quiet and contained: a cape, a clean station by the window, and a finished cut in well under the time it takes to go down to the lobby and back.

Twenty-four hours. Every day. Every hair type.

Ben Zweifel is licensed in both barbering and cosmetology, in more than one state, and has spent over seventeen years behind the chair. He has owned four barbershops, and his clients have included Kevin Gates, Lil Durk and Lil Baby. 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.

From 700 Queensway Dr, guests are minutes from The Queen Mary, Aquarium of the Pacific and Shoreline Village. Ben covers all of Long Beach and the surrounding areas of Torrance, Downey and South Gate, at the hotel or wherever the day leads.

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.
