What’s the Scuttlebutt?!
Scuttlebutt Barbershop is a traditional barbershop near NH’s beautiful seacoast. Established in 2015 by Nate Riggs, a Navy veteran, many ask where the name came from. The term “Scuttlebutt” is usually accompanied by a questioning facial expression and head tilt. To be expected! That is unless you were in a seagoing military service. The term was born from two naval terms. “Scuttle” means a hole in the ship’s hull causing it to sink while “butt” means the cask or hogshead from where a ship’s crew would drink water. Thus the navy slang “Scuttlebutt” was created and is still used today. Its meaning is equivalent to rumors or water cooler talk; something similar to what happens in a barbershop. So come on down to Scuttlebutt Barbershop to swap stories, talk about sports or whatever is on your mind!

NATE
MASTER BARBER/OWNER
Nate grew up in the coastal town of Portsmouth, NH. He is a veteran of the US Coast Guard. For five years he learned what is was like to be a sailor in this life-saving service. After receiving his honorable discharge, he attended the University of New Hampshire where he received his bachelor’s degree. He then felt the call again to return to service. He joined the US Navy Reserve in 2012 and was honorably discharged in 2017. During this period he also attended the New England School of Barbering in Penacook, NH where he received his New Hampshire Barber license. In an effort to combine two things that he respects greatly, military service and barbering, he named his shop Scuttlebutt Barbershop.
CHRISTOPHER
BARBER
Being born into a military family, Christopher moved up and down the east coast. When his Father retired from the Coast Guard, his family moved back to his home state of Vermont. It was not uncommon for Christopher to drive up to three hours, one way, to spend a day checking out a barbershop he heard people raving about. He started having thoughts of becoming a barber himself. When he made the decision to become a barber Christopher attended the New England School of Barbering. He finished his Master Barber training in May 2015.
REBECCA
MASTER BARBER
Rebecca began her career as a cosmetologist and was working in a fast-paced men’s salon. She found that she really enjoyed barbering more than cosmetology. She made the decision to obtain her Master Barber’s license and completed instruction in 2017 through Empire Beauty School’s barber program . She really loves the 80’s and has seen many concerts with bands such as Poison, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue. Her favorite is Metallica. Rock on!!
