Barbery Coast

The Barbery Coast

"Welcome, patron, to The Barbery Coast...
...where every haircut is an adventure.
"
Edward Van Helgen and Cutthroat Bill [src]

The Barbery Coast was a barbers shop in Puerto Pollo. Its staff were Edward Van Helgen, Cutthroat Bill and Haggis McMutton. They referred to themselves as buccaneer hairstylists.

The staff together also formed The Barbery Coast Barber Shop Quartet.

In The Curse of Monkey Island, Guybrush Threepwood enlisted the three pirate barbers as a crew to rescue Elaine Marley from Blood Island and undo a curse on her.

Captain Rene Rottingham was known to bring his custom to the shop. Other patrons included:

  • Richard Squawkins (There never was a more despicable knave! But we gave him an impeccable body-wave!)
  • Charles Vain (This captain stood seven feet high in his boots. But you'd never have guessed that we dyed his roots)
  • Hack Rackaham (Always a dapper crook, Jack wore the layered look)
  • Stede Grommette (He fought and he struggled, he kicked and he brawled, but when he left our shop, we made sure he was bald)
  • Thomas Lewd (Here was a dangerous man, when accosted. But he looked pretty good when his hair had been frosted.)
  • Rachel Squall (This lady, we're certain was no debutante. She killed twenty men while she wore this bouffant.)
  • Edward Screch (When it came to rum, Edward Screech never skimped. He drank a whole bottle while he had his hair crimped.)

Trivia[]

  • The name 'Barbery Coast' is a pun on the 'Barbary Coast' of the Golden Age of Piracy. Barbary pirate on Wikipedia
