Meet Scuttlebutt: Portsmouth’s Veteran-Owned Barbershop

May 29, 20251 min read

Scuttlebutt Barbershop isn’t just another barbershop — it’s a story rooted in service, craftsmanship, and community.

Founded by a U.S. Navy veteran, our shop was built with the same attention to detail and pride that defined our time in uniform. That mindset carries into every haircut, beard trim, and straight razor shave. It’s why our clients say we do it better — because we do it with purpose.

The name “Scuttlebutt” itself is a nod to the Navy — it’s where sailors would gather to swap stories. That’s what we’ve created here in Portsmouth: a gathering place for people from all walks of life.

As a veteran-owned barbershop in Portsmouth, we’re proud to offer a space where locals feel welcome, respected, and taken care of. Whether you're a fellow veteran, a lifelong local, or just passing through, we want you to feel at home in the chair.

Supporting Scuttlebutt means supporting a local veteran-owned business in NH that gives back to its community — whether it’s participating in local events, offering discounted cuts to veterans, or simply being a friendly face downtown.


Come in for a cut, stay for the conversation — it’s all part of what makes Scuttlebutt, well, Scuttlebutt.
