This is precision at its highest level. STYLES Barber Lounge specializes in the cleanest scissor work in Staten Island and every hot trend the moment it lands, cut sharper, tighter, and more detailed than anywhere else on the island. If it is trending, we are already cutting it, and we are cutting it better than anyone.
A scissor cut is the cut that separates a good barber from a great one. There are no guards to hide behind; every length is judged by eye and cut by hand. Founded in 2018 by Shalom Gruber, STYLES Barber Lounge built its name on exactly that kind of detail, and the scissor work is where it shows most, whether you are growing a style out or keeping a sharp classic in shape.

A scissor cut is priced as a Haircut, $45, but it is only part of what we do. Haircut and Beard $60, Beard Trim $15, Hot Towel Shave $30, Kids Cut $35, plus The C.E.O Treatment $100 and The V.I.P $170. Same prices at both locations.
What is a scissor cut, and how is it different from a fade?
A scissor cut is shaped with scissors and a comb instead of clippers. Where a fade uses guards to blend the sides down toward the skin, a scissor cut keeps length and softens it by hand, so the finish looks natural rather than sharp. There is no hard line anywhere in the cut, which is exactly why longer and textured styles depend on the quality of the scissor work.
Ask for a scissor cut when you want to keep some length, grow a style out cleanly, or avoid the buzzed look of a clipper fade. It suits classic side parts, textured crops, curly and wavy hair, and longer tops. If you like the sides tight and skin close, a fade is the move; if you want it soft, shaped, and grown in, a scissor cut is it. Not sure? Every cut at STYLES Barber Lounge starts with a consultation.
Why is Styles Barber Lounge known for its scissor work?
Because scissor over comb is the hardest thing to do well in a barbershop. Clippers do a lot of the thinking for you; scissors do not. Building an even, natural shape by hand takes years, a steady hand, and an eye for how hair actually falls, and it is the skill regulars come back for when they want more than a quick clean up.
The shop holds 4.8 stars across 300+ Google reviews. The 'Stylists for the Stars' slogan is literal: Pete Davidson, born and raised on Staten Island, Lil Jon, and Bobby Shmurda have all been photographed in a STYLES chair.
Which styles work best with a scissor cut?
Anything that lives on length and texture. Classic side parts and pomps, textured French crops, longer fringes, layered crops, and grown out styles all take shape under scissors, not clippers. Curly and wavy hair especially benefits, because scissors follow the curl and remove weight without the flat, blunt edges a guard leaves behind.
A scissor cut is also the honest choice while you are growing your hair out. Instead of buzzing the sides to reset, the barber shapes the length so it grows in even and stays wearable the whole way. If you have a photo of the finished look you are after, bring it; on a scissor cut, the reference picture does more work than any guard number ever could.
How much does a scissor cut cost in Staten Island?
A scissor cut at STYLES Barber Lounge in Staten Island is priced as a haircut: $45. That includes the consultation before the first snip, the cut itself, a hot towel finish, and a complimentary beverage while you are in the chair. It is the same price whether the cut is done with scissors, clippers, or both.
The Kids Cut is $35 for ages 12 and under, scissor work included. And if the beard needs shaping in the same visit, Haircut and Beard is $60. For the full treatment, The C.E.O Treatment is $100 and The V.I.P is $170.
How often should you get a scissor cut?
Every three to five weeks, a little longer than a fade. Because a scissor cut keeps length and has no skin tight sides to grow out, it holds its shape far more forgivingly, and many clients stretch it to a month or more without it looking untidy. That easy grow out is part of the appeal.
The easiest way to stay on schedule is to book the next visit before the current cut grows out, and a booking at STYLES Barber Lounge guarantees the time. Regulars can also join STYLES Royalty, the shop's loyalty program. Between visits, a little product and a comb keep a scissor cut looking intentional rather than overdue.
Where is Styles Barber Lounge on Staten Island?
STYLES Barber Lounge is at 2234 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10314, and the phone is (718) 524-6011. There is parking along the Victory Boulevard corridor. If you searched for a scissor cut or a barber near Willowbrook, Staten Island, Bulls Head, the College of Staten Island, or the Staten Island Mall, this is the shop minutes from all of them.
Hours are Sunday through Friday, 8am to 8pm, closed Saturdays. Those Sunday hours run later than nearby barbershops, which typically close by 4pm on Sundays, so a Sunday evening cut before the work week is realistic here. Booking online through Squire guarantees your time, and walk ins are welcome whenever a chair is open.
Good to know.
Do I need an appointment for a scissor cut, or can I walk in?
Walk ins are welcome at STYLES Barber Lounge whenever a chair is open, but an appointment guarantees your time. Bookings are made online through Squire or in the STYLES Collective app on iOS and Android. Scissor work is unhurried by design, so on busy days a reservation is the difference between sitting straight down and waiting for the next open chair.
Is a scissor cut better than clippers for curly hair?
Often, yes. Scissors follow the curl and remove weight without leaving the blunt, flat edges a clipper guard can create, so curls keep their movement and shape. Many clients with curly or wavy hair ask for scissor work on top and only light clipper work, if any, around the sides. Your barber will match the approach to how your hair actually grows.
Can I get my beard done in the same visit as a scissor cut?
Yes. Haircut and Beard is $60 at the Staten Island shop and shapes the cut and the beard in the same appointment, and a standalone Beard Trim is $15. A straight razor Hot Towel Shave is $30, and The C.E.O Treatment pairs the haircut and beard with eyebrows, the Facial Scrub X Black Mask and a nose wax at $100.
What if I do not know exactly what I want?
That is what the consultation is for. Every cut at STYLES Barber Lounge starts by talking through your hair, your routine, and how much length you want to keep, and a photo of a look you like settles it fast. On a scissor cut especially, that two minute conversation is what makes the finish feel like yours.
Does STYLES Barber Lounge have other locations?
Yes. STYLES Barber Lounge also runs a shop at 111 East 11th Street in Downtown Los Angeles, in the Fashion District near South Park, rated 4.8 stars across 700+ Google reviews. Both shops hold the same standard, whether the cut is a skin fade or an all scissor classic.
