Biography

Peter Joannou is a Brighton based barber and men’s grooming specialist with decades of hands on experience in precision cutting, styling and consultation led client care. His work focuses on creating sharp, wearable looks that suit head shape, hair type and lifestyle, from classic short back and sides to modern textured styles, skin fades and longer scissor work.

More information

Peter is known for calm attention to detail, clean finishing and a consistent standard of service. Clients visit for haircuts that last well between appointments, straightforward advice on styling at home, and grooming that feels considered rather than rushed. Beard trimming and line up work is approached with the same precision, ensuring balance through the cheeks, jawline and neckline, while keeping the result natural.

Alongside barbering, Peter offers scalp micropigmentation, also known as SMP, and tricopigmentation. These treatments are designed to create the appearance of hair follicles for a natural shaved look, or to add the look of density in thinning areas. Each plan starts with a focused consultation to assess suitability, discuss expectations, and agree a tailored approach to colour, hairline shape and progression. Results are built gradually for realism, with clear aftercare guidance and maintenance planning.

Peter operates from his Brighton barbershop near the Lanes, welcoming both regular local clients and visitors looking for premium men’s hair and scalp services delivered with professionalism, discretion and expert care.

    The very best barber in Brighton (or possibly the universe?). Peter’s been cutting my hair and beard for almost 10 years now. Not only is the quality of the service impeccable, but the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else and I cannot recommend Peter enough!

    feel incredibly lucky to have found Peter almost 10 years ago after going from barber to barber and never quite being happy with my final cut. From the very first visit, I knew I’d found the right place. Peter is a true gentleman with decades of experience, and it absolutely shows in his work. His attention to detail, consistency, and understanding of what suits you are second to none. Every cut is spot on. It’s always a genuinely lovely experience, relaxed, professional, and welcoming. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Highly recommend.

    I’ve just had the The Complete service with Peter Joannou in Brighton and honestly, it’s on another level. From the moment you walk in, Peter makes you feel completely at ease. He takes real time to understand exactly what you want, offers professional advice without ever being pushy, and his attention to detail is second to none. The haircut itself is always sharp, precise and tailored perfectly to suit your face and style, you can tell he genuinely takes pride in his craft. The complete service is well worth it. It’s not just a haircut, it’s a proper experience, expert beard trimming and shaping, hot towel treatment, and that level of care that leaves you walking out feeling refreshed, confident and properly looked after. Peter’s consistency is what stands out most. Every single time the standard is exceptional. Brighton is lucky to have him, if you’re looking for a barber who delivers quality, professionalism and a genuinely great experience, Peter Joannou is the one. I cannot recommend highly enough.
