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.

    I have been going to Peter’s barbershop for over 10 years, one of Brighton’s best barbers and a really nice and friendly guy, also a great singer who raises loads of money for local charities.

    We have been using Peter's talented services for my partner and our son's haircuts since we set foot in Brighton. He was recommended to us as the 'singer hairdresser'. For a few years, we have also watched a few of his balcony concerts fundraising for many charities. He makes my boys' hair rock, everybody loves it.

    I've been going to Pete for my hair and beard for over 10 years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is always incredibly thorough, taking the time to make sure every cut is done to perfection. He's friendly, professional, and consistently provides a great experience from start to finish. The attention to detail and quality of service are second to none, and it's clear he takes real pride in his work. Over the years, I've always left feeling pleased with the result. I highly recommend Pete. Thanks for more than a decade of excellent service!

    I have been going to have my beard, and hair, cut by Peter for over ten years now I think. He is polite, helpful, and does a wonderful job. Sitting in the chair is so relaxing, with wonderful music playing. I can’t recommend Peter more highly. If your beard or hair needs a trim, pay him a visit. 👍

    Curly hair needs a barber who knows what they’re doing, and Peter delivers every time. I always leave happy and confident. If you care about a great cut, this is the place to go.

    I've been getting my hair cut at Peter's for roughly ten years. I'd say he's the best barber in town, good value for money, very easy to chat to, and very professional. And he does a huge amount of work (singing) for charity!
