The barber who comes to Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection

Sandbourne replaced Le Merigot on its beachside block south of the pier and joined Marriott's Autograph Collection. The redesigned rooms use light, coastal tones. A spa and pool are on site, with the sand just a crosswalk away.

Beach-going guests and business travelers alike can book a cut without leaving the property. 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.

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.

The address, 1740 Ocean Ave, puts Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection near Santa Monica Pier, Tongva Park and Main Street Santa Monica. Whether the plan is dinner, a premiere or an early flight, Ben can time the appointment around it, here or anywhere in Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey and Brentwood.

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.
