More information

What's Included

A precise, comfortable shave with calming aftercare.

  • Hot towels and steam to soften growth and prep the skin.
  • Pre-shave cleanse and light oil for extra glide.
  • Rich lather and detailed multi-blade work with and across the grain where suitable.
  • Edge detailing on sideburns, cheeks and neckline.
  • Cool towel and soothing post shave gel to calm and refresh.
  • Simple aftercare guidance to keep the result smooth.

Who It's For

Ideal for men who want a clean, close shave with minimal irritation. Great if you shave for work, prefer a bald look, or want to sharpen up before an event.

It also suits clients with scalp micropigmentation or tricopigmentation who like the shaved look to sit crisp and even. You get a smooth, polished finish that looks tidy throughout the day.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This service takes around 15 minutes.

Please arrive a couple of minutes early and share any sensitivities or preferences. To book, call 01273 328799 or book online at https://www.peterjoannou.co.uk/. You will find us at 40 Middle St, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AL.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Rinse with cool water later in the day and avoid heavy, alcohol-based aftershaves for a few hours. Apply a light, fragrance-free moisturiser or post shave balm to keep skin calm.

If you are prone to ingrown hairs, exfoliate gently two to three times a week and use fresh blades at home between visits. Most clients rebook every two to three days depending on growth and preference.

    Lovely really smooth wet shave. I've had quite a lot of wet shaves over the years, and this is up there with one of the best.

    By far the best barber in Brighton, taking their time, the cut and shave is amazing. Attention to detail is spot on, I have never had a better cutthroat shave than here. Don't think there is better quality for money than from Peter, Josh and James.

    Propper old fashioned high quality hair cutting service. Just passing through Brighton and walked into here by chance. Best place I've been to for a cut, in the UK. High attention to detail and it was refreshing not to be chatted at. I paid £20 for a cut and paid on card. Was offered refreshments, eyebrows, cut throat on back of the neck. Hair cut AND experience.

    We visited Peter Joannou male grooming during our romantic weekend in Brighton. My partner and I decided to treat ourselves with some pampering. He had a haircut, shaving, steam hot towel facial massage. One would say that it is slightly expensive but it was so worth it! My partner enjoyed it and relaxed. The shaving lasted more than a day when normally his beard grows back within a few hours! I would love to know their secret technique! He really had a wonderful and relaxing experience.

    I've been having my haircut by Peter for over 10 years. He is first class, gives a warm welcome on arriving, with attention to detail whether it's haircutting, beard trimming, shaving or other head or facial requirements.

    I’ve been coming to Peter’s for over five years and regularly get a hot shave. Always a class act very skilled at craft and always provides amazing service but highly recommend to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from shaving at home?
Steam and hot towels soften the beard and relax the skin for a closer, more comfortable result. We use precise technique and finish with a cooling gel to reduce redness.
Will it suit sensitive skin?
Yes. We adjust prep, pressure and shave direction to your skin and growth pattern, then finish with a soothing gel to keep skin calm.
How long will the result last?
Most clients stay smooth for 24 to 48 hours, depending on growth rate and texture. Rebook every two to three days for an always-clean look.
How should I prepare before my shave?
Arrive with clean skin and no heavy moisturiser or aftershave. Tell us about any sensitivities or ingrown hairs so we can tailor the shave.
Can I add a head shave or beard shape?
Yes, you can pair this with a head shave or beard tidy for a complete refresh. Mention it when booking so we allow enough time.
