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, 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.
