Scuttlebutt Barbershop is a traditional barbershop located near NH's beautiful seacoast, offering a range of services including classic haircuts, skin fades, hot lather shaves, and beard trims. Established in 2015 by Nate Riggs, a Navy veteran, the shop takes its name from the naval slang "scuttlebutt," which refers to rumors or water cooler talk, reflecting the lively conversations that take place within its walls.

With vintage barber chairs, nautical decor, and a 65-inch screen TV, Scuttlebutt Barbershop provides a welcoming atmosphere for customers to swap stories, discuss sports, or simply unwind. The shop proudly supports and donates to the Semper Fi Fund, a highly rated charity dedicated to providing resources and support for combat wounded, critically ill, and catastrophically injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
