A barber for nights at Dolby Theatre

The Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood is the long-running home of the Academy Awards. Outside awards season it hosts concerts, televised specials, premieres and the finals of network competition shows.

On Oscars weekend and other televised nights, nominees, presenters and guests often want a precise cut the morning of or the day before. Long rehearsal days also bring touch-up requests. 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.

One call. One text. A sharper you.

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. His specialty is the short cut done properly: skin fades, low and mid tapers, line-ups, 360 waves, beard sculpting and clean head shaves, on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair alike.

From 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 it is a short trip to TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hollywood Roosevelt. Ben covers Hollywood and the surrounding areas of Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood and Los Feliz, meeting clients wherever they are getting ready.
