Brave barber

Need a trim before hitting the links? Brave Barber in Southport town centre is a solid shout. They're open every day, even Sundays (10 'til 4), which is handy if you've got a last-minute tee time. I've walked past a bunch and they always seem busy, which is usually a good sign.

They've got a 4.6-star rating on Google from 30 reviews, which is a decent score. I haven’t personally had a cut there myself, but a mate of mine, Dave from the Birkdale Tap, swears by them. Says they're good for a proper short back and sides, and that's what you want, isn't it?

They seem to cater to golfers; I’ve heard they do a tidy job before you head to one of our famous courses. Plus, they're open late most nights (6pm) so you can squeeze in a cut after work.

Give them a ring to book ahead, especially on weekends. You can usually find parking on the street nearby, but it can get busy, so allow a bit of extra time to find a spot.
