On-set barber for Paramount Pictures Studios

Paramount Pictures Studios is the last major studio still operating within Hollywood itself, on Melrose Avenue. Its lot includes soundstages, a New York backlot and offices for film and television productions.

Actors, hosts and executives on the lot often want a cut before table reads, screenings or press days. Long multi-camera tapings can also call for touch-ups. 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.

The barber comes to you, at any hour.

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. 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.

From 5555 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038 it is a short trip to Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Sunset Las Palmas Studios and Larchmont Village. Ben covers Hollywood and the surrounding areas of Hancock Park, West Hollywood and Koreatown, 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.
