The Proper Barber, as the shop signs itself, is a barbershop with a pressed-tin ceiling and classic barber’s chairs, in the office buildings at 19 Shelter Cove Lane on Hilton Head Island, beside Shelter Cove Towne Centre rather than in the mall itself.
The menu is haircuts, a cut with a beard trim, buzz cuts, beard trims on their own, hot-towel straight-razor shaves and a cut-and-shave combination, and the barbers cut children’s hair as well. Book online, or call to ask about the same day: visitors in town for a wedding or a week at the beach write about being fitted in.
