The barber who comes to InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown

The InterContinental occupies the upper half of the Wilshire Grand Center, which opened in 2017. The sky lobby is on the 70th floor, and a rooftop bar near the top looks out over the basin. Rooms start dozens of floors above the street.

Executives working in the Financial District and guests in town for downtown events value the convenience of a barber who comes up to them. 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.

The barber comes to you, at any hour.

Ben's background reads like a working biography of the craft: a teenage start, cosmetology school, four barbershops of his own, then television sets, music videos and world tours. He is licensed in barbering and cosmetology in multiple states and cuts every hair type. 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, 900 Wilshire Blvd, puts InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown near Crypto.com Arena, The Bloc and Pershing Square. 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.

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.
