A fresh cut before Rose Bowl Stadium

The Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena's Arroyo Seco is home to UCLA football and the annual Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day. It also books major stadium concerts and soccer matches.

Bowl week and big concert weekends bring teams, artists and VIP guests to Pasadena hotels, which is a natural moment for a fresh cut. Broadcast talent working the game often books a morning session. He comes to the house, the guesthouse or the office, sets up a clean station wherever the light is good, and leaves the room as he found it.

Discretion is part of the cut.

His résumé is unusual for a house-call barber: more than seventeen years of cutting, licenses in barbering and cosmetology in several states, four shops owned, and years of travel with touring artists. Clients range from Dax and NLE Choppa to executives who never want their name mentioned. 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.

Rose Bowl Stadium is at 1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103, near Brookside Golf Club, Old Pasadena and The Langham Huntington, Pasadena. Ben meets clients at nearby hotels and homes in Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge, Glendale and San Marino, 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.
