Yes, Venice beach has high prices, Ben is a business owner and has to keep these doors open. Ben owns this business and loves what he does. Barbershops are just as much about the atmosphere as they are the actual cut, and this shop is exceptional in both arenas. He exemplifies Venice beach as he perfectly blends his knowledge in many areas into conversations with all different cultures & walks of life while providing incredibly sharp fades, and beard trimming. You will leave this shop feeling renewed and more confident than when you came in. It feels like a young millionaires club at this shop, and you will be provided that aesthetic every single time Fantastic experience every time, and Ben is one of my favorite barbers ever 10/10

First of all, big thanks to Benjamin for squeezing me in during the holidays! I used to hair model back in New York City and I appreciate each cosmetologist’s and barber’s style; they’re artists at the end of the day. So, I let him do his thing and didn’t really give him instructions other than, ‘Can you clean me up?.’ Now I now why this place is world famous.

Ben is a terrific barber and an even more terrific human. This barbershop is quite the experience — you can tell so much work went into giving you the best possible experience. I’ve been going here regularly for my fades ever since I moved to the area. Doesn’t disappoint.

In Santa Monica visiting for the week, and decided it was time to shave my bushy hobo beard. Booked an appointment with Joe for an old-fashioned straight razor shave. He did a great job -- hot steam, great-smelling creams, a steady hand, and interesting stuff to talk about. I left smooth & clean, and not a nick to be found! Really nice experience.

Hard to beat Benjamin and the team at the World Famous Venice Barber Shop! Very attentive to detail, Ben takes his time to give you a good cut. The LA/Venice ambiance, beer on tap, and Ben’s business adventure stories make it over the top amazing! Good people doing great cuts. I lived in LA for 10 years and had some good barbers, but I’d go out of my way to get Ben to give me the Gentleman’s Haircut any day.

2 weeks after I moved to LA, I needed a haircut. On a whim I walked in to the shop and got a high and tight cut from Eddie. He took his time and the effort was worth it. I had never had a haircut I was so happy with. Cut to 2 months later and I need another haircut. I walk in to the shop but Eddie isn't there. Joe was there though, so I took a chance with him. 2 years later and I consistently return to the shop to get a cut from Joe. This guy knows what he is doing. I've had short hair that needed shaping and currently have long curly hair that he cleaned up and styled just yesterday. It seems the shop has a set of knowledgeable and veteran barbers and I couldn't recommend this place enough.
