Toluca Lake's private barber, on call 24/7

Toluca Lake is a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood surrounding a small private lake between Studio City and Burbank. Its proximity to the Warner Bros. and Disney lots has made it a long-time home for entertainment figures.

Studio executives and talent who live minutes from the lots can be groomed at home early, before heading to set. 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.

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. Expect fades blended without a visible line, tapers that grow out cleanly, line-ups drawn with a steady hand and beards shaped to the jaw. Straight hair, waves, curls and locs all get the same attention.

Appointments land all over Toluca Lake: near Lakeside Golf Club and Riverside Drive, in quiet residential pockets and in high-rises alike. Coverage includes 91602, with Burbank, Studio City, North Hollywood and Universal City 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.
