The barber who comes to Viceroy Santa Monica

A block from the beach on Ocean Avenue, the Viceroy has poolside cabanas tucked behind its front courtyard. Interiors use a crisp, contemporary palette. The pier and Main Street are both within walking distance.

Guests who split time between the beach and meetings in the city often book in-room grooming for convenience. 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.

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. 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.

The address, 1819 Ocean Ave, puts Viceroy Santa Monica near Santa Monica Pier, Main Street Santa Monica and Tongva Park. 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.
