ROUTE 1 BARBERSHOP & SHAVE PARLOUR
Hair and Beard Color in Portsmouth, NH
Gray shows up on its own schedule. Sometimes it starts at the temples, sometimes in the beard first, and sometimes you simply want a different look altogether. Route 1 Barbershop & Shave Parlour in Portsmouth offers color for both your hair and your beard, done by a barber in a barbershop rather than a salon.
Two Reasons Men Choose Color
Color here does one of two jobs. It can return your hair to the shade it used to be, or it can change it to something new. Most clients know which one they want before they sit down, and it is worth saying so plainly at the start..
Returning Your Natural Shade
If gray has crept in and you would rather it hadn't, color can bring back the tone you are used to seeing in the mirror. Tell your barber how you want it to look, whether that is a full return to your old color or something that softens the gray without hiding every strand.
Changing It Up
Some men want a different shade entirely. If that's you, bring a photo or describe what you have in mind so you and your barber agree on the target before any color goes on.
The service covers your hair and your beard. That matters because the two often age differently. A beard can go gray years before the hair on your head does, or the other way around, and the mismatch is what many men notice first. Talk through whether you want to color one, the other, or both so they look like they belong to the same person.

Finish the Look
Fresh color looks its sharpest on a clean cut. Book one of our men's haircuts with clippers and shears, which wraps up in 25 minutes or less. If you wear your sides tight, a skin fade finished with a straight razor or foil shaver puts crisp lines next to the new shade.

Does it cover beards as well as hair?
Yes. The service is offered for both hair and beards, so you can color one or both depending on where gray shows or what look you want.
