Haircuts at home in Los Feliz

Los Feliz sits at the foot of Griffith Park, with Spanish Revival and modernist homes climbing the hills toward the observatory. Shops and cafes cluster along Vermont Avenue and Hillhurst Avenue, drawing a crowd of writers, musicians and families.

Neighbors who work in entertainment or from home studios can fit a groom into the day without leaving the hills. 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.

Your schedule sets the appointment.

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. 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.

Whether the evening ends at Griffith Observatory or begins at Griffith Park, a fresh cut can be timed around it. Ben covers Los Feliz (90027) and the neighboring areas of Silver Lake, Hollywood and Glendale. He also meets clients before events and long days at Greek Theatre.

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.
