I had a shocking experience here considering the reputation. The owner left me with an uneven…read morehaircut and told me to "have a nice life". I'm not clear anymore if they're going to refund me or not. I was left with a haircut that does not reflect what I asked for and was not resolved after multiple attempts. The only solution ultimately offered was to cut it even shorter into a pixie, which I had been clear from the beginning I did not want. When I pushed back on that and requested compensation for the $105.45 I've already spent on hair products/tools to fix the haircut errors, I was asked to reconsider leaving a negative review and was offered compensation "for the next cut", which sounded to me like a quid pro quo. After declining, the final responses I received from the owner included "anything we seem to do or say you turn around to be something horrible so I am done talking" which speaks for itself in terms of professionalism. I came in with clear references for a micro bob/longer bixie with a piecey, directional finish. The initial result was a pixie in the back disconnected from a micro-bob shape in the front. My bangs were barely trimmed but left uneven, and the overall shape did not reflect the references provided. The cut was then "corrected" by the owner. She significantly improved the back by removing weight and creating the appearance of more length without cutting it shorter. However, the front was taken much shorter in the process. My bangs went from hanging over my eyes to sitting roughly an inch off my forehead, and the overall balance of the cut was not resolved. The sideburns also remained visibly uneven in length even after this second pass. These problems are structural, not styling-related: * the sideburns are visibly uneven in length (even after being addressed, and these areas do not change with parting or styling) * excess weight through the crown creates a dense, rounded "helmet" shape * the transition between the very short back and longer front lacks cohesion * the fringe remains blunt rather than broken up and textured I raised these concerns during the appointment, and multiple stylists, including the owner, were involved. I asked another more trusted stylist for directions on how to fix it and sent the owner this explicit step by step guide. Still, you can see the result. I was told by a 3rd stylist brought in that the result was a dead-on match my reference, which is difficult to reconcile with the visible inconsistencies. The cut was styled in a way that temporarily masked these issues, and the pace of the appointment made it difficult to fully assess what was happening. I felt rushed to wrap up despite actively pointing out uneven areas. After following up, I was issued a refund, which I appreciate. However, I was also told the cut was correct and simply intended to be worn differently, which does not align with what is visibly present. This has also had a real impact beyond the haircut itself. I now have my sister's wedding this summer and may need to rely on temporary solutions like wigs just to make this feel wearable while it grows out. I will be including photos, both haircuts, my before and after plus the inspo with this review so others can judge the result for themselves. If you're looking for a more classic or controlled short cut, this salon may be a fit. But if you want a precise micro bob or similarly structured short shape, I would proceed with caution and make sure your stylist is aligned on execution, not just general aesthetic.

Have you ever been stuck in the office, but in need of a haircut though absolutely no time to make it to your barber? In need for a fresh touch-up before a night out or just being lazy over the weekend? Modern Barbering solves this with its mobile barbering services that's on-demand to your location. I've been getting my haircut from Ryon ever since I've been in NY... so almost 4 years now (!), particularly while I was struggling to find a good barber since moving from LA. He's the best at his craft... and takes a ton of time / care because you realize (especially over the years) that he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and his clients. I cannot emphasize enough his passion for this and it shows thru the output / service... I still get A1 quality even after 4 years and to be honest, can call him a good friend now. I had the privilege of being his first customer in his new concept... he literally scooped me up half way into a conference I was attending (I needed a haircut bad for the after hour drinks / dinner... so you can see the use case here). Also, even though it's mobile... you do not forgo the experience of a high quality service / vibes at any barbershop in NYC. I've already referred a couple of my friends with different types of hairstyles (one is Italian another Asian another Brazilian) and all are raving about the time + skills Ryon put in. An absolute must - and of course, in support for all entrepreneurs + small biz owners!

Ryon truly cares about the experience you get during your haircut. Not only is he meticulous and detail-oriented when it comes to your cut, Ryon makes sure what you want is what you get. He always does a good job of talking through any potential hairstyle ideas I have. Because Ryon is so knowledgeable in terms hair, he'll be honest about what will and won't work with your hair. I never leave disappointed and always feel like a celebrity in his care. The barbershop itself is an experience. The convenience of him rolling up to wherever you are is second to none. It truly is a luxury shop that feels first class.
