Sitting on the Wellington Road corridor near the edge of Wortley Village, Brass Anchors Barbershop brings a classic, no-shortcuts approach to modern grooming. Nearly 300 Google reviews hold a 4.9-star average, and the shop describes itself simply as a small barbershop blending traditional and contemporary barbering.
Two things make it stand out in this directory. It lists itself as LGBTQIA friendly and puts an inclusive, everyone-welcome atmosphere at the front of its own description, which no other listing here does. It also still offers proper straight razor shaves, the timeless end of the craft that many shops have quietly dropped.
A practical note worth knowing before you go: Brass Anchors takes cash or e-transfer only, so leave the card at home. Parking is free and there is WiFi, the shop is kid friendly, and they ask for four hours notice to cancel. They also flag that construction on Wellington Road has begun, so allow extra time getting there.
Core Services: Classic cuts, modern styles, straight razor shaves, and beard work.
Atmosphere: Small, inclusive and community-minded, explicitly LGBTQIA friendly, with free parking and a cash or e-transfer counter.
