Sunset Marquis, groomed in private

Set one block below the Strip on Alta Loma Road, Sunset Marquis is arranged around gardens, pools and private villas. It has a long history with touring musicians and includes an on-site recording studio. Bar 1200 serves as its intimate lounge.

Recording artists and touring bands staying here often book grooming between studio sessions, shows and photo shoots. 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.

Private. Convenient. Always on time.

Every appointment carries the standard of a man who has owned four barbershops and kept his licenses current in barbering and cosmetology across multiple states. Seventeen years in, Ben's specialty is still the short men's cut and the beard, done precisely. His specialty is the short cut done properly: skin fades, low and mid tapers, line-ups, 360 waves, beard sculpting and clean head shaves, on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair alike.

Sunset Marquis sits at 1200 Alta Loma Rd in West Hollywood, close to The Comedy Store, Sunset Tower Hotel and Whisky a Go Go. Ben works across the neighborhood and nearby Hollywood Hills, Beverly Grove and Hollywood, so moving from a hotel room to a home or a set later in the day is no trouble.

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.
