Kids Haircut in Staten Island: $35 for Ages 12 and Under
A kids haircut at Styles Barber Lounge in Staten Island costs $35 for children 12 and under.

How much is a kids haircut in Staten Island?
The Kids Cut at Styles Barber Lounge is $35 and applies to any child 12 and under. That is the full price for a complete barbershop haircut in the chair at 2234 Victory Boulevard: clipper work, scissor work, a fade, a taper, or a simple clean-up, finished properly.
For comparison, the adult haircut at Styles Barber Lounge is $45 and includes a consultation, a precision cut, a hot towel finish, and a complimentary beverage. So the kids price is a genuine discount on the same chair and the same barbers, not a separate junior tier. Once your kid turns 13, the $45 haircut takes over.
Are the barbers patient with kids who get anxious in the chair?
Yes, and parents say it directly in Google reviews rather than the shop saying it about itself. Reviewers describe barbers at Styles Barber Lounge who are patient with kids, including one customer, Vex K., whose review notes that the patience extended to a child on the autism spectrum. For families of kids who need a calmer pace, that is the review that matters.
If your child gets anxious in the chair, mention it when you book or when you arrive. Keep the first visit simple, skip the dramatic style change, and let the barber set a slower rhythm. A patient barber and a short, predictable appointment do more for a nervous kid than any cartoon-themed chair ever will.
How do you prepare a kid for a first haircut?
Book the first appointment of the morning, come with your child fed and rested, and bring a photo of the cut you want. Those three moves prevent most first-haircut tears. An early slot means a quieter shop and no waiting, and a photo means the barber knows exactly what you are picturing before the clippers come out.
A few more things that help. Let your kid watch a parent or older sibling get cut first, so the chair looks routine by the time it is their turn. Say trim if the word haircut lands badly. Bring the comfort item. And keep the goal realistic: for a first visit, done and happy beats perfect and tearful.
Styles Barber Lounge takes kids haircut bookings in advance, so parents can lock in that quiet early slot instead of gambling on a wait. If your child needs a slower pace or a break halfway through, say so up front. Patience works best when the barber knows what to expect.
Kids barber vs kids salon: which one should you pick?
Pick the barbershop if what you actually want is the haircut itself. A kids salon sells the distraction: themed chairs, screens, a lollipop at the end. A barbershop sells the cut. For a proper boys haircut, a blended fade, a clean taper, a sharp edge-up, a barbershop is built for that, because its barbers do exactly that work on adult heads all day long.
Styles Barber Lounge gives kids a real barbershop cut in a real barber chair, from the same team that cuts the shop's adult clients. For a lot of Staten Island kids, that is the whole appeal: sitting where dad sits, walking out with the same fade the older kids have. If you typed boys haircut near me looking for more than a quick buzz, this is the barbershop version of that haircut, at $35 for ages 12 and under.
How do you book a kids haircut slot with no wait?
Book ahead. Styles Barber Lounge takes appointments through Squire at web.getsquire.com/book/shalom-styles-barber-lounge-staten-island and through the Styles Collective app on iOS and Android, and a booked slot guarantees your time. Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is open, but with a kid in tow, the guaranteed time is the whole game.
The hours help too. Styles Barber Lounge is open Sunday through Friday from 8am to 8pm and closed on Saturdays. Those Sunday hours run later than nearby shops; competitors nearby that open on Sundays close by 4pm. For the calmest visit, aim for the first appointments after the 8am open, before the shop fills up.

Good to know.
My son just turned 13. Does he still get the kids haircut price?
No. The $35 Kids Cut at Styles Barber Lounge covers ages 12 and under, so a 13-year-old books the standard $45 haircut instead. Plenty of families treat that first full-price cut as a milestone: same barber, same chair, now with the complete adult service. If you are not sure what to book, call (718) 524-6011 and ask.
Is the $35 kids cut only for boys, or can girls book it too?
The Kids Cut at Styles Barber Lounge is priced by age, not gender: $35 for any child 12 and under. The work in the chair is barbering, so it suits clipper cuts, scissor cuts, fades, tapers, and sharp edge-ups on any kid who wants one. If you are not sure the style your daughter wants fits a barbershop chair, describe it when you book.
Can I get my own haircut during the same visit?
Yes. Book a slot for yourself alongside your kid's appointment. The adult haircut at Styles Barber Lounge is $45 and includes a consultation, precision cut, hot towel finish, and a complimentary beverage, and a haircut with a beard trim is $60. It is an easy standing routine: one visit, two fresh cuts, and the Styles Royalty loyalty program to go with it.
Have any celebrities actually been in the chair at Styles Barber Lounge?
Yes. Pete Davidson, born and raised on Staten Island, has been photographed in the chair, along with Lil Jon, Paris Hilton, and Bobby Shmurda. The shop was also featured on KTLA 5 News in May 2025, the fifth news crew to film there, with the segment syndicated to 11+ Nexstar stations and Yahoo News. The slogan Stylists for the Stars is earned.
Where do we park for a kids haircut on Victory Boulevard?
There is parking along the Victory Boulevard corridor near the shop at 2234 Victory Boulevard, so a kids cut folds neatly into a mall trip or a normal errand run. Arrive a few minutes early so a first-timer can settle in instead of rushing from the car to the chair. A calm start usually means a calm haircut.
Does Styles Barber Lounge do braids or kids styling?
No, Styles Barber Lounge does not offer braids. It is a barbershop, and the menu is barbering: haircuts, the $35 kids cut, beard trims, hot towel shaves with a straight razor, and facials. For fades, tapers, scissor cuts, and clean line-ups on a boys haircut, this is the right chair. For braiding, look for a dedicated braiding salon.
