Before the show at Hollywood Palladium

The Hollywood Palladium is an Art Deco ballroom on Sunset Boulevard that opened in 1940. Its general admission floor hosts touring rock, hip-hop and electronic acts, along with private events and award show afterparties.

Headliners often book a cut or beard detail between soundcheck and the show. Guests heading to industry parties here may want a fresh look before the evening. There is no drive across town and no waiting room. Ben arrives at the agreed time, works quietly and leaves the space tidy.

Twenty-four hours. Every day. Every hair type.

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. 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.

From 6215 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 it is a short trip to Pantages Theatre, Avalon Hollywood and Netflix Sunset Bronson Studios. Ben covers Hollywood and the surrounding areas of Los Feliz, Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood, meeting clients wherever they are getting ready.

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.
