Jools in Baker Street

Before I started cutting my own hair I used to use Alan's on Ditchling Road - I assume it's still there.

You could try checking in the mirror

Clippers in Sydney Street. Reasonable price (£10.50), good straightforward barbers (if you want an Albion connection, Adam Virgo's been in there for a haircut a couple of times when I've been there)

H's on Blatchington Road in Hove is my personal fave. A tenner and I've never come out looking like more of a pillock than when I went in!

I asked for a short back and sides from there and they managed to naff it up.

This could be because 'jortbak' in Polish means Hedgehog" !

Used to be 50p if I recall, a long wait and a 'cattish' odour?

Good old cooper.

Coopers was on the site in Baker Street where Jools feat. Geordie Paul is now. Only went to Coopers once, just before the poor old lad (got) closed down. I was the only customer (well it was a Saturday morning...). He was in dressing gown and slippers. There was bowls of cat food all over the floor. There was cats all over the chairs. He more or less scalped me and charged me £1.50. I thrust a fiver in his hand and fled.

No boys on Saturdays sign if I remember correctly, can't really read the hand written sign in that photo.
The notice board on the left hand side of the left window, had a postcard saying gearbox for Ford Popular or Prefect for sale.
Not sure why I remember these things as I never went in there, but it was one of those shops that made me always stop and stare.

I remember some other old boys type of barbers in Brighton back in the 70s/ 80s, Coombe Road, Lewes Road almost opposite the Labour Club and Ditchling Road.

That shop front should have been recreated in Brighton Museum.
