Sharp before tip-off at Crypto.com Arena

Crypto.com Arena anchors the L.A. Live district in Downtown Los Angeles and is home to the Lakers, the Kings and the Sparks. Between seasons it books major concert tours, and it has hosted the Grammy Awards many times.

Players, touring artists and award-night guests often want a fresh cut or beard line-up a few hours before tip-off, soundcheck or the red carpet. Hotel rooms nearby at L.A. Live make a quick pre-event session easy. Appointments happen where clients already are: a kitchen island, a back patio, a home office or a trailer, with the same tools and finish as a top shop.

Your schedule sets the appointment.

Ben's background reads like a working biography of the craft: a teenage start, cosmetology school, four barbershops of his own, then television sets, music videos and world tours. He is licensed in barbering and cosmetology in multiple states and cuts every hair type. 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.

Crypto.com Arena is at 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015, near Peacock Theater, Los Angeles Convention Center and The Novo. Ben meets clients at nearby hotels and homes in Downtown Los Angeles and Arts District, Koreatown and Hancock Park, and on site where access allows.
