A barbershop with a soft spot for the classics
The Velvet Blade is an independent Brighton barbershop with a particular passion for classic barbering — pompadours, slickbacks and traditional short-back-and-sides — alongside skin fades and other modern styles.
Come with a clear idea of what you want, or come with absolutely no idea at all. Either is fine.

The shop is upstairs, so unfortunately there is no wheelchair-accessible entrance.
