Shade Hotel Redondo Beach, groomed in private

Set on King Harbor, the Redondo Beach Shade has a rooftop pool overlooking boats and the ocean. Rooms feature soaking tubs and contemporary furnishings. The harbor's restaurants and the Redondo Beach Pier are close by.

Guests visiting the South Bay for business or leisure can schedule grooming without leaving the harbor. He arrives with a complete kit, sets a clean station near the best light in the room, and leaves the space as he found it.

One call. One text. A sharper you.

The work comes from seventeen-plus years of practice, dual licenses in barbering and cosmetology across multiple states, and four barbershops of his own. Ben has cut for recording artists, NBA and NFL players and Supreme skaters, and he treats a first-time client with the same care. 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, 655 N Harbor Dr, puts Shade Hotel Redondo Beach near Redondo Beach Pier, King Harbor and Seaside Lagoon. Whether the plan is dinner, a premiere or an early flight, Ben can time the appointment around it, here or anywhere in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Torrance.
