Malibu's private barber, on call 24/7

Malibu runs for about 21 miles along Pacific Coast Highway, from Topanga out past Point Dume and Zuma. Beachfront homes on Carbon Beach and Broad Beach share the coast with canyon ranches, Pepperdine University and a small civic center around the Country Mart.

Long drives on PCH and secluded beach and canyon properties make it practical to bring the barber to the house instead of heading into town. There is no drive across town and no waiting room. Ben arrives at the agreed time, works quietly and leaves the space tidy.

Discretion is part of the cut.

Ben Zweifel is licensed in both barbering and cosmetology, in more than one state, and has spent over seventeen years behind the chair. He has owned four barbershops, and his clients have included Kevin Gates, Lil Durk and Lil Baby. 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 Nobu Malibu or begins at Malibu Country Mart, a fresh cut can be timed around it. Ben covers Malibu (90265) and the neighboring areas of Pacific Palisades, Calabasas and Agoura Hills. Hotel guests are covered too: Ben regularly works in rooms and suites at Nobu Ryokan Malibu, Malibu Beach Inn, Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club and The Surfrider Malibu and other properties in the area.
