When you book a men's haircut, it's helpful to know exactly what you're paying for.
At Scuttlebutt Barbershop in downtown Portsmouth, NH, our standard Men's Haircut combines professional cutting and styling with several traditional barbering touches.
Haircuts start at $50, and the experience includes more than simply trimming your hair.
Here's what you can expect.
1. Precision Haircut And Styling
Every haircut begins with understanding the look you want.
Whether you're maintaining your current hairstyle, changing your length, or trying something different, communicating your preferences helps your barber tailor the cut.
Our standard haircut includes professional cutting and styling designed around your preferred look.
If you have a particular hairstyle in mind, bringing a reference photo can help you explain the length, shape, and finish you're looking for.
2. Hot Lather Straight-Razor Neck Cleanup
One of the traditional details included with Scuttlebutt's Men's Haircut is a hot lather straight-razor cleanup along the back of the neck.
This finishing step helps create a neat appearance around the neckline.
It's a classic barbering touch that distinguishes the service from a basic clipper-only trim.
The neck cleanup is included in the standard haircut price.
3. A Relaxing Hot Towel
A warm towel is another included part of the haircut experience.
The hot towel provides a relaxing finishing touch and helps complete the traditional barbershop service.
It's a small detail, but one that contributes to the overall experience.
You don't need to purchase an additional service to receive the included hot towel with your standard Men's Haircut.
4. Electric-Shaver Skin Fades Are Included
Customers sometimes assume that booking a skin fade automatically requires paying extra.
At Scuttlebutt, electric-shaver skin fades are included in the standard Men's Haircut.
You do not need to select an additional service simply to receive an electric-shaver skin fade.
However, there is an optional upgrade for customers seeking a different finishing technique.
Optional Precision Skin-Fade Add-On: $5
If you want a closer safety-razor finish on your skin fade, you can select the Precision Skin-Fade add-on when booking.
This optional service costs an additional $5.
The distinction is important:
- Electric-shaver skin fade: included in the standard Men's Haircut.
- Additional safety-razor finish: optional $5 Precision Skin-Fade add-on.
If you're unsure whether you need the upgrade, ask your barber before selecting it.
Can You Add Beard Grooming Or A Traditional Shave?
Yes. Depending on the available booking options, customers may be able to add facial grooming services to their haircut.
Options can include:
- Beard Maintenance: A beard-trimming add-on for customers who want to maintain or tidy their facial hair.
- Hot Lather Shave: A traditional straight-razor shaving service with hot lather and warm towels.
These are separate from the standard Men's Haircut and may involve additional charges.
Check the current options and prices in Vagaro when booking.
