The Long Island Beard: More Than a Trend

Staten Island’s ferry rhythm demands a haircut that survives the 25-minute ride and Manhattan meetings. At A&L Haircutters in St. George, our $28 classic scissor cut keeps commuters, dads, and locals looking sharp from the terminal to Wall Street. As of 09:25 PM EEST on September 10, 2025, we’re open for walk-ins and bookings with wind-proof styles.
