Men’s Grooming in New England: Trends and Timeless Styles at Scuttlebutt Barbershop

April 19, 20252 min read

Whether you're keeping it rugged or going refined, men’s grooming in New England is all about balance — and at Scuttlebutt Barbershop in Portsmouth, NH, we’re here to help you find your style with cuts and grooming that fit your life.


How Coastal Weather Shapes Men’s Grooming in Portsmouth

Thanks to our coastal climate, grooming here has its quirks. Beard trims in Portsmouth often mean taming flyaways from the sea breeze, while New England’s winter winds and summer sun make proper hair and skin care essential for keeping a sharp look.


Current Men’s Grooming Trends We’re Seeing

Currently, some of the most prominent trends we’re seeing include clean skin fades, natural texture, and a resurgence in straight razor shaves — a classic service that remains timeless. More men are also investing in good beard care, from sharp, clean lines to proper conditioning that withstands the weather.


Timeless Styles That Never Go Out of Fashion

Of course, timeless styles like side parts, gentleman’s tapers, and tight military fades still dominate the scene. But there’s always room for creativity — and we’re here for all of it. At Scuttlebutt Barbershop, we blend old-school craftsmanship with modern style, offering everything from contemporary men’s haircuts in Portsmouth, NH, to throwback cuts with a fresh twist.
