Porter Ranch's private barber, on call 24/7

Porter Ranch occupies the northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley against the Santa Susana Mountains. Many of its homes sit in master-planned and gated communities, with newer development and hiking trails along the hillsides.

Families in gated neighborhoods far from the city center can save a long drive by booking at home. He comes to the house, the guesthouse or the office, sets up a clean station wherever the light is good, and leaves the room as he found it.

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. The menu is focused: men's short haircuts, beard trims and sculpting, line-ups, waves and head shaves. He works with every hair type and every background, which is exactly how he has always run his chair.

Appointments land all over Porter Ranch: near The Vineyards at Porter Ranch and Porter Valley Country Club, in quiet residential pockets and in high-rises alike. Coverage includes 91326, with Northridge and Santa Clarita next door.

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.
