The barber who comes to Westwood

Westwood is anchored by the UCLA campus and Westwood Village, a 1920s shopping district known for its landmark movie palaces. Along Wilshire Boulevard, the high-rise condos of the Wilshire Corridor house many longtime residents and international buyers.

Condo towers with concierge service and busy faculty, students and medical staff make a building visit an easy alternative to a shop. 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.

Discretion is part of the cut.

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. 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.

Whether the evening ends at UCLA or begins at Royce Hall, a fresh cut can be timed around it. Ben covers Westwood (90024 and 90095) and the neighboring areas of Bel-Air, Brentwood and Century City. Hotel guests are covered too: Ben regularly works in rooms and suites at W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills.
