A barber shop has been crowned the best in Sussex by Argus readers.

The Terrace Barbers in Brighton won the accolade after receiving the most nominations from its loyal customers.

Owners Adam Durrant, Joey Gates and Jake Dawes set up shop in Coombe Terrace in 2008.

Joey said: "We are a team comprised of local guys, who grew up amongst the communities we now work within.

"We have been friends for even longer than we’ve been in business together which could be part of the reason we are still going from strength to strength as we edge close to two decades worth of trading."

Owner Jake Dawes  (Image: The Terrace Barbers) They are rated highly within the community, with a nearly 5-star perfect review score on Google.

Customers have said that they 'always do a top job', 'they are always up for a laugh' and that it's an 'amazing' atmosphere as soon as you get in.

Adam said that they were 'truly humbled'  when the owners found out that the community had had named them as the favourite barbers of 2024.

He said: "So much time, effort, passion and patience has gone into making our shop what it is and to receive recognition for the above is a really great feeling.

"We are very thankful and honestly believe we have the best and most loyal custom base in this amazing city."

Owner Adam Durrant (Image: The Terrace Barbers) The Terrace Barbers also have a second store in Ladies' Mile Road, Patcham which is just as highly rated.

Jake said: "We have done so much in our journey so far, from pop up barber shops at conventions and festivals to opening the city’s first barbershop with a licensed bar.

"It’s been a fun ride for sure.

"Times are however, tougher than ever and with the increasing number of barbershops in the city, as well as the increasing costs for all business to stay a float, our plan in the short term is simply to continue to deliver amazing haircuts in a place where everyone feels welcome.

"We do ultimately believe that when you strip everything back, this is the most important thing we can strive for."
