Colour

Colour for men should look natural, never flat or obvious. At Peter Joannou Male Grooming and Barber Shop in Brighton, our colour services focus on subtle grey blending and tone correction that keeps you looking like you, just fresher. We use professional men's colour systems, including American Crew Precision Blend, for a quick, tidy result that suits busy routines. Expect a short consultation, shade matching, and careful application to hair or beard where needed. A skin test may be required before your first colour appointment, and we will talk you through timings and upkeep. Leave looking sharper, not freshly dyed.

More information

Our Brighton colour appointments are designed around natural results and low maintenance grow out. We match to your base shade and target only what needs attention, so greys look blended rather than blocked.

Precision Blend is described as ammonia free and suitable for hair and beard, helping keep the finish subtle and comfortable on the skin. You can book colour on its own or alongside a haircut for a refresh, and we will keep edges clean and natural.
