The barber who comes to Silver Lake

Silver Lake wraps around a reservoir whose walking path and meadow are a daily gathering spot. The hills hold notable mid-century homes by architects like Richard Neutra, and Sunset Junction anchors a stretch of independent shops and coffee bars.

Designers, musicians and remote workers here often keep irregular hours, which suits a barber who works around their schedule. For households that value privacy, the appeal is simple. The barber comes inside the gate, does precise work and leaves without fuss.

Private. Convenient. Always on time.

The work comes from seventeen-plus years of practice, dual licenses in barbering and cosmetology across multiple states, and four barbershops of his own. Ben has cut for recording artists, NBA and NFL players and Supreme skaters, and he treats a first-time client with the same care. 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.

Ben knows the neighborhood's rhythm, from Silver Lake Reservoir, Silver Lake Meadow and Sunset Junction to the residential streets beyond. He serves ZIP codes 90026 and 90039 and moves easily into Los Feliz, Echo Park and Glendale.
