Stage-ready near Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall

The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall stands next to the USC campus south of Downtown. It has a long history of award shows, including the Oscars, Grammys and BET Awards, and it also hosts concerts and festivals.

Award show weekends bring artists and their teams in for cuts and line-ups ahead of the red carpet. Performers rehearsing during the week may book touch-ups too. There is no drive across town and no waiting room. Ben arrives at the agreed time, works quietly and leaves the space tidy.

The barber comes to you, at any hour.

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.

Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall is at 665 W Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007, near University of Southern California, BMO Stadium and Exposition Park. Ben meets clients at nearby hotels and homes in Downtown Los Angeles and Koreatown, Baldwin Hills and Arts District, and on site where access allows.

Send a text or make a call to 608-201-7717, any hour. Ben confirms the time, quotes the visit (from $150, $300 standard between 11am and 7pm, adjusted for distance and late hours) and is on his way.
