What we do
Cuts, beards and a proper sit-down
No numbered menu to scroll — every cut is worked to your hair and your face. Here’s the kind of thing we love to do, then book a chair to talk it through.

Cuts
Skin fades, scissor crops, textured tops, classic short back & sides — cut to suit your hair and your face, never off a numbered chart. Short or long, we got you.

Beards & shaves
Beard shaping, tidy-ups and proper hot-towel cut-throat shaves. We take the time to listen and sort the maintenance — wedding-day sharp or everyday tidy.

The full sit-down
A vintage chair, a good chat and a finish that lasts. Walk-ins welcome when a seat is free — and Otto the shop dachshund might say hello.

What the chair feels like
My husband has been seeing Dan for his beard trims and shaping for a few months now and he could not be more pleased with the results! Dan really takes the time to listen, and also made some excellent recommendations for beard maintenance. He shaped my husband’s beard for our wedding day and it looked immaculate!! Not only is Tallboys the best-looking barbershop in Brighton & Hove, but the barbers themselves are friendly, personable, and immensely talented. I would recommend Tallboys to anyone looking for an experience that’s a cut above the rest (pun slightly intended) 💈🏜️✨

Had such a lovely experience in this barber shop. I came to Brighton for a few days needed a quick trim. Found this place and honestly I’ve been to barber shops all over the world and I own one myself. But this was one of best haircuts I’ve had. The tattooed Scottish fella did exactly what I asked for Flat top mullet, and he nailed it. I can see why this place has 5star reviews! And everyone is very pleasant. 👍 Thank you 🙏 see you again!

Now on my 4th visit to Tallboys after a prolonged search for a new barber post relocated to region. I can without hesitation say that Dan Ladd and the Tallboys trio deliver a high end cut “meeting exact requirements” while making you feel like one of the family.. “a rare find” Having tried numerous other barbers in the region, Tallboys remains a standout institution for those searching for a tight cut.
