The V.I.P: Luxury Men's Grooming in Downtown LA
The V.I.P at Styles Barber Lounge is the ultimate men's grooming booking in Downtown Los Angeles: a full combination of the shop's signature services in one 90-minute appointment. It includes a detailed consultation, precision haircut and styling, expert beard sculpting, and a rejuvenating facial featuring exfoliation, hot towel treatments, facial scrub, black mask and hot facial steamer. It is priced at $170, confirmed when you book on Squire.
Styles Barber Lounge was established in 2018 by founder Shalom Gruber. The Downtown LA shop holds 4.8 stars across 700+ Google reviews, KTLA 5 News featured the brand in May 2025, and Pete Davidson, Lil Jon, and Paris Hilton have all been photographed in a Styles chair. The slogan Stylists for the Stars is meant literally.

What is included in the V.I.P?
The V.I.P is a full combination of the signature services at Styles Barber Lounge: a detailed consultation, a precision haircut and styling, expert beard sculpting, and a rejuvenating facial featuring exfoliation, hot towel treatments, a facial scrub, the signature black mask and a hot facial steamer. It runs about 90 minutes and is booked as a single appointment.
The session starts where any great barbershop visit does, with the consultation and the cut. The beard work that follows covers both shape and edges, a complete sculpt plus a crisp line-up. Then the appointment turns into the part people talk about: the skin work, from the hot facial steamer through the scrub and the black mask. You walk out fully done: hair, beard and skin in one sitting.
The price is $170, and it appears when you book on Squire, before you confirm anything.
What is the C.E.O Treatment, and how is it different?
The C.E.O Treatment is the signature ritual at Styles Barber Lounge: haircut and beard, eyebrows, the Facial Scrub X Black Mask and a nose wax, for a flat $100 in about one hour. It is the complete transformation most regulars book.
The V.I.P is the tier above it: more time in the chair and the full combination of signature services, including the shampoo scalp treatment massage, the hot towel and facial steamer work, and full enhancements. If you want everything the shop does in a single appointment, the V.I.P is that booking; if you want the essential head-to-finish reset, the C.E.O Treatment covers it.
Who books the V.I.P in Los Angeles?
Anyone who wants hair, beard, brows and skin handled in a single appointment. The V.I.P at Styles Barber Lounge fits the days a haircut alone will not cover: an event on deck, a date worth showing up sharp for, a photo shoot the next morning, or a night out near Crypto.com Arena.
Timing does a lot of the work. The full session runs about 90 minutes, so it slots in front of an evening instead of consuming it. Take a game night: Styles Barber Lounge sits a short ride from Crypto.com Arena and LA Live, so the appointment and the event fit inside the same evening.
Why book it at Styles Barber Lounge?
Because it is the whole shop in one appointment. Styles Barber Lounge was founded in 2018 by Shalom Gruber, and the V.I.P packs the menu's range into a single line item: cut, beard, brows and skin, one booking.
The attention around the brand backs it up. KTLA 5 News featured Styles Barber Lounge in May 2025, the fifth news crew to film at the shop, and the segment was syndicated to 11+ Nexstar stations and Yahoo News. The slogan Stylists for the Stars is earned in photographs: Pete Davidson, Lil Jon, Paris Hilton, Bobby Shmurda, Jason Luv, Luisito Comunica, Warren Lotas, and Andrei Deiu have all been photographed in a Styles chair.
Clients without a publicist say the same thing. One Google review from Max R. calls it the "Best fade in LA... real New York City cut experience," and the Downtown LA location is one of the highest-rated in the area, at 4.8 stars across 700+ Google reviews.
How much does luxury men's grooming cost in DTLA?
At Styles Barber Lounge, the V.I.P is $170 for the full 90-minute experience, and the C.E.O Treatment is $100 for the one-hour signature ritual. Standalone services stay simple too: a haircut is $45, haircut and beard $60, a beard trim $15, and the Facial Scrub X Black Mask $30. Prices are the same at both locations and are confirmed at booking on Squire.
The bundles are where the value sits: inside the C.E.O Treatment, $100 covers the haircut and beard plus eyebrows, the facial and a nose wax, and the V.I.P adds the scalp treatment, steamer work and enhancements on top.
Where is Styles Barber Lounge in Downtown LA, and when is it open?
Styles Barber Lounge is at 111 East 11th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015, in the Fashion District near South Park. Hours are Sunday through Friday, 8am to 8pm, closed Saturdays. Call (213) 205-8906, or book through the Styles Collective app on iOS and Android to guarantee your chair.
The block is easy to place: Santee Alley and FIDM are a few blocks away. Plan weekends accordingly. Saturday is the one day the shop goes dark, and Sunday runs a full day, which is exactly what a pre-game or pre-shoot appointment needs.
Good to know.
How long should I block off for the V.I.P?
Plan for about 90 minutes. The full combination of signature services, from the consultation through the facial, is covered by a single appointment. There is nothing to book separately, so the session is predictable enough to schedule dinner, a show, or a game right behind it.
Can I walk in for the V.I.P or should I book ahead?
Walk-ins are welcome at Styles Barber Lounge whenever a chair is open, but a 90-minute appointment is easiest to guarantee by booking. Reserve online through Squire or the Styles Collective app on iOS and Android; the price appears before you confirm.
What if I do not want every service in the package?
Call the shop to modify the appointment and the price changes accordingly, per the booking menu. The Downtown LA number is (213) 205-8906. If you only want the essential ritual, the C.E.O Treatment at a flat $100 covers haircut and beard, eyebrows, the facial and a nose wax in about one hour.
Is the black mask facial available on its own?
Yes. The Facial Scrub X Black Mask is a standalone 30-minute service at $30: a hot facial steamer opens the pores for a deep clean, the skin is exfoliated, and a hot towel is followed by a facial scrub and black mask.
Does the Staten Island shop offer the V.I.P too?
Yes. Styles Barber Lounge at 2234 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island offers the V.I.P at the same $170 and the C.E.O Treatment at $100, with the same signature services and the same prices. That shop holds 4.8 stars across 300+ Google reviews and books at (718) 524-6011.
When is the Downtown LA shop open?
Sunday through Friday, 8am to 8pm, closed Saturdays. The 8pm close and full Sunday hours make the V.I.P easy to fit before an evening at Crypto.com Arena or LA Live. Book on Squire or through the Styles Collective app to guarantee the chair.
