A house-call barber for Encino

Encino stretches from the Sepulveda Basin south into the hills above Ventura Boulevard, home to some of the Valley's largest gated estates. The historic Los Encinos adobe and natural springs recall its days as an early rancho.

Gated estates and households with nannies, drivers and packed calendars make a private barber who comes to the house a practical choice. There is no drive across town and no waiting room. Ben arrives at the agreed time, works quietly and leaves the space tidy.

Your schedule sets the appointment.

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. 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.

Appointments land all over Encino: near Los Encinos State Historic Park and Lake Balboa Park, in quiet residential pockets and in high-rises alike. Coverage includes 91316 and 91436, with Sherman Oaks, Tarzana and Van Nuys next door.

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.
