A fresh cut before Mr Chow Beverly Hills

Mr Chow Beverly Hills has served Beijing-style cuisine on Camden Drive since 1974. Its black-and-white dining room has long been a gathering place for artists, musicians and film stars.

Dinner here often follows a premiere or a night out, so guests may book a cut earlier in the day. Golden Triangle hotels nearby make it easy to fit in a session. The visit is quiet and contained: a cape, a clean station by the window, and a finished cut in well under the time it takes to go down to the lobby and back.

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

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. 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.

Mr Chow Beverly Hills is at 344 N Camden Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, near Rodeo Drive, Spago and Wally's Beverly Hills. Ben meets clients at nearby hotels and homes in Beverly Hills and Century City, Bel-Air and West Hollywood, and on site where access allows.

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.
