Haircuts at home in Hollywood Hills

The Hollywood Hills rise between the flats and the San Fernando Valley, threaded by Laurel Canyon, Nichols Canyon and Mulholland Drive. Glass-walled modern houses and older canyon homes cling to steep lots with views across the basin.

Narrow, twisting streets and limited parking make leaving home a chore, so an in-home cut is often the easiest option. Appointments happen where clients already are: a kitchen island, a back patio, a home office or a trailer, with the same tools and finish as a top shop.

The barber comes to you, at any hour.

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. 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.

Ben knows the neighborhood's rhythm, from Mulholland Drive, Runyon Canyon Park and Lake Hollywood Park to the residential streets beyond. He serves ZIP codes 90068 and 90046 and moves easily into Hollywood, West Hollywood, Studio City and Universal City. He also meets clients before events and long days at Hollywood Bowl.

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.
