The Barbership: Blue Cannon Alley
Whether you take up a Barbership Membership or simply walk in off the street, you'll look and feel your best after taking a seat in either of our three uniquely distinct sites. We offer an award-winning bespoke barbering, gentlemen's grooming, and all-genders hairdressing experience, backed by 30 years of industry expertise and delivered through a blend of traditional and progressive techniques.

Our Southsea and Gosport barbershops are steeped in historic style, with decor shaped by the sea. Barbership Members are entitled to regular haircuts or beard shapes at all Barbership locations, current and future. Special rates are on offer to Eco Card members in Gosport - the only off-the-grid (electricity-free) barbershop in the UK.
Services
Our Dark Sands range has a distinctively seafaring scent of rosemary, bay, and black pepper. Dark Sands includes our beard oil, beard tamer, moisture balm, sheen shaper, and cologne bars. All sustainably-packaged in recyclable materials, hand-made in small batches, and 100% vegan. Our Crystal Cove collection boasts a refreshingly coastal aroma of lemon, lime, and lavender.
Evolving the eco-conscious, off-the-grid, cutting-by-headlamp-after-dark approach we take to barbering at our Blue Cannon Alley barbershop in Gosport, we're proud to introduce the Barbership: Gosport Eco Card, a wooden membership card which grants you special-rate cuts for a set monthly fee. Much like our Barbership: Membership scheme, your Eco Card will help you save on staying sharp.

Got recommended by a mate to use this place when they were at the clock tower! And I can’t use another barber now because they beat the standard around Portsmouth! Keep up the good work lads! ✌🏻🙏🏻

I’ve been looking for a new barber ever since I moved down to Portsmouth. I was really nervous before my appointment but Craig was absolutely amazing. The membership scheme is definitely worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Well today was my first day back at the Barbership since moving back to Portsmouth after 18 months.
It was great to see the guys and get my hair and beard done by the best barbers in Portsmouth.
The service… is, as always, second to none.
I am so glad they survived the pandemic and wish them well going forward.
Glad to be sailing with them again.

Really great barber... rescued a horrendous mullet from another barber who had no idea how to cut longer boys hair... really friendly with my son and make him feel at ease and grown up while I get to chill out on the sofa :)

Was really looking forward to sorting my sons hair out after months of looking like the 5th member of the Beatles - his usual barber is on maternity leave😩
The barbership looked like just the place, Nathan cut my sons hair & whilst the cut isn’t bad, he cut his hair really high & short even though I said he has it left low & also showed a picture of his hair freshly done & its a lot lot shorter & his hair won’t sit right now & is sticking up at the crown & sides. I did try to explain that’s why he doesn’t have it short. So unsure if I will return as don’t feel I got what I asked for

Can’t thank the Barbership and especially Sonny for being patient with my son Forrest for his hair cut! Forrest is 100% a tricky customer but Sonny was so patient and helped to introduce Forrest to all the different sounds , sights and feelings of the barbers ! Forrest talked about Sonny all the way home !

Nath the Gent does the best fade out of all of the barbers I have tried in the Gosport and Portsmouth area. Genuine nice guy too. I usually see him in the Gosport shop but it doesn't open post lockdown until next week. Good vibe in these shops. Whether it be Gosport or Southsea. I definitely get my money's worth as my hair grows like weeds but Nath never complains. If in doubt give these guys a try. Quality cuts and beard trims- bottom line.

Mixed bag overall. Recently visited for both a wet shave and a haircut
A cracking haircut, really pleased with the result and bang on for what was asked. The wet shave was a little disappointing - whilst the actual shave was fine, and the barber did a good job, the attention to detail let them down a bit. Small nicks are unavoidable with a cut throat shave but I would have expected them to have an astringent or alum block to stop the nicks bleeding rather than just say ‘there’s a couple of nicks’ and hand me a tissue.
Can’t recommend enough for a haircut, cut throat could better
