The barber who comes to JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE

With close to 900 rooms, the JW Marriott fills the lower floors of the L.A. LIVE tower and connects to its plazas. It has a large pool deck, a spa and extensive event space. The Los Angeles Convention Center is across the street.

Convention attendees, award-show guests and arena visitors can get cut or shaved in the room without leaving the complex. 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.

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

His résumé is unusual for a house-call barber: more than seventeen years of cutting, licenses in barbering and cosmetology in several states, four shops owned, and years of travel with touring artists. Clients range from Dax and NLE Choppa to executives who never want their name mentioned. Expect fades blended without a visible line, tapers that grow out cleanly, line-ups drawn with a steady hand and beards shaped to the jaw. Straight hair, waves, curls and locs all get the same attention.

From 900 W Olympic Blvd, guests are minutes from Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater and Los Angeles Convention Center. Ben covers all of Downtown Los Angeles and the surrounding areas of Koreatown, Arts District and Echo Park, at the hotel or wherever the day leads.
