Q:
Would this be a great please for me to get a buzzed or short pixie cut? Been looking for other places to go beside my local hair salon.
A:
It's a barbershop for guys, not a hair salon or a unisex place. I would say it's a great place for your husband or boyfriend, not you.

I highly recommend Drew, especially if your are in any type of business where image is important. He gives a great classic handsome cut and experience. He listens carefully and is detail-oriented. His beard work is fabulous. Overall, Modern Male is the best in the Philly burbs. It's worth the trip even if you're in the Lehigh Valley area. You won't be disappointed.

Great banter with your barber
MM is old-school in its values, traditions, and standards of quality (all very good things). You're immediately thrown back to a time when the neighborhood barbershop was a gathering place for men of all ages to share wisdom, the news of the day, and good humor. Get in and let the gents get you fresh!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - D B.Holly Springs, NC052Jan 21, 2017
I ended up going here with a wedding party for a shave and haircut. The shave was nice. However, the haircut was a different story. Later that afternoon while I was at the wedding my scalp and neck were covered in welts. At first I thought it was a bad razor burn, but then I realized that the blade they used cut my skin. I have never had this happen with a haircut before.
A few days after, I called and spoke with the manager and he said that another customer after me complained and they determined that the barber didn't set the blade up properly. The manager said that he instructed the barber how to properly install the blade, took my address and said that he would send me a refund. After two weeks, I called back because I never received a refund and he took my address again. Two months later I never received a refund.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Daniel J C.Philadelphia, PA092Sep 22, 2018
This is my second time coming to this barbershop. My first experience was fine and I got a good cut, so I was willing to start a new relationship with this barbershop and schedule monthly appointments. I scheduled one for a month away, same time, on a Saturday morning.
I received an email and text message reminding me of my appointment the day before. I show up the morning of and they're CLOSED. To me that is a level of unprofessionalism that is unacceptable. It's fine if they're closed, but if they can't know their schedule ahead of time to not schedule their customers on an off day, and if something comes they up can't even inform me (and other scheduled customers), that reflects a lack of organization, and a basic commitment to their customers. I was surprised to be honest, because this barbershop was supposed to be all about a quality experience, cut, and dedicated customers.
Well I can certainly tell you that the modern male lost a customer today.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kevin B.Perkasie, PA0152Feb 6, 2016
I took my 1 year old son for his first haircut to Modern Male barbershop today. I am so impressed with this place. They were so nice to us and made his first haircut experience one to remember. After the haircut my son received a certificate for "bravely enduring "he his first haircut and we also got a keepsake that had his locks of hair that were cut. Nice touch. On top of it all they did it for free. I of course tipped the barber very well for the first class treatment we got. I also got my haircut there today. This place is not some chop shop. They take there time and do it correctly. I got the best haircut I ever had as a adult. It reminded me of the barbershop I went to as a kid growing up in Philly. It's almost like stepping into a different era when going into their shop. I recommend this place to any man.

*From my husband*
This place is amazing. The barbers are the greatest and genuine. I really felt like "one of the guys." They were booked solid when I tried to make the appointment, but offered a call back if they had any cancellations. As soon as I walked in, it was clear why they stand apart. Great space, over the top customer service, superb cut (went to baby butt smooth on my head and cleaned up my beard), and a cold beer during my service...how could this place be less than 5 stars?! Also very reasonable prices. Amazing. Can't wait to return!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nathaniel E.Whitehall, PA7102May 2, 2018
Excellent service and Great Barbers! Great senses of humor! I love the interaction and jokes going back and forth between barbers. Switched to Modern Male a few days before my wedding and have never looked back! It's not just a haircut or beard trim, it's an experience!! Highly, highly recommend!

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Great group of guys that have really refined their skills. The benefit of being able to make appointments is key and one of the biggest reasons I first started going. I used to never get my haircut over lunch because I never knew how long I would wait. Now I book an appointment at 12:30 with Pawel and 30 minutes later I'm done and on my way back to the office.

My daughter took her 3yr old son to this shop today wanting to get him a boys haircut and give him the barbershop experience. She walked in and they were all sitting there...no clients...and just looked at her. She asked if she could get his hair cut and they asked if she had an appointment and she said no...they said "try up front" and nothing more. Not "Hey, let's get you an appointment set up" or "can you come back later?"...never even acknowledged my grandson...just flat out rude. She walked out feeling so stupid for even walking in. Now mind you, I am a stylist at a salon and my daughter is a receptionist at the salon as well. We know how salons and such work. I could never imagine turning a client down..let alone being rude to someone. I always recommended this shop and gave rave reviews...not anymore.
