A private barber at The Shay, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

Set in downtown Culver City, The Shay has around 148 rooms and a busy restaurant program from José Andrés Group, including Zaytinya. A rooftop space looks out toward the hills. The hotel sits close to several major streaming and media offices.

Production staff and talent working at the studios nearby often book grooming around early calls and late wraps. There is no salon to find and no waiting room. Ben comes up to the room, works neatly, and is gone before the next call time.

The barber comes to you, at any hour.

Ben holds licenses in barbering and cosmetology in multiple states. Before Los Angeles he built and ran four barbershops, and his chair has since followed entertainers on tour and onto television and music video sets. Rod Wave, Polo G and Lamar Odom are among the names who have sat with him. The menu is focused: men's short haircuts, beard trims and sculpting, line-ups, waves and head shaves. He works with every hair type and every background, which is exactly how he has always run his chair.

The Shay, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel sits at 8801 Washington Blvd in Culver City, close to Sony Pictures Studios, Culver Steps and Kirk Douglas Theatre. Ben works across the neighborhood and nearby Playa Vista, Century City and Baldwin Hills, so moving from a hotel room to a home or a set later in the day is no trouble.

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.
