The barber who comes to LAX & Westchester

Westchester sits on the bluffs just north of Los Angeles International Airport and is home to Loyola Marymount University. Postwar family homes, the Westchester Triangle shops and a string of airport hotels along Century and Sepulveda boulevards shape the area.

Travelers with tight layovers and guests at airport hotels can get a fresh cut in their room before a flight or meeting. 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.

Discretion is part of the cut.

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. 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.

Whether the evening ends at Los Angeles International Airport or begins at Loyola Marymount University, a fresh cut can be timed around it. Ben covers LAX & Westchester (90045) and the neighboring areas of Playa Vista, El Segundo, Inglewood and Marina del Rey. Hotel guests are covered too: Ben regularly works in rooms and suites at Hotel June West LA.

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.
