Modern Male

This is my go to place. Alex hooks it up everytime with a great haircut. Get your hair washed first, then cut and washed again followed by a massage and hot towel facial. Highly recommend this place to every man on this island

I went here today for a massage and was pretty disappointed. If you’re looking to get one, I would highly suggest going somewhere else with a more professional staff and atmosphere conducive to actually relaxing. Here’s why:
The staff: After I checked in 10 minutes early, I waited for just short of 40 minutes before asking if I would be taken soon. The girl at the front responded as if she had never seen me before (maybe because 40 minutes had elapsed since we last spoke), and then quickly grabbed the masseuse to bring me to the back. She never apologized for the wait, and was pretty cold when I asked her about my appointment.
The masseuse, Mona, was very sweet and apologized for having to wait so long. She also did a pretty good job during the massage.
The atmosphere: When I walked in, it was clear that the ownership is trying to capitalize on this new wave of vintage manhood and hipster-​related décor. That’s fine. However, the massages are given in the back of the establishment, which is separated from the front of the establishment by half-​walls. So, despite the fact that the ownership is trying to push this whole vintage look, you can still here every Adele remix and house song while you’re laying down during your massage. Definitely not the ideal environment to relax in. Something about hearing «ANTHONY» being screamed doesn’t make me want to enjoy the money I spent in the fluorescent-​lighted back room.
Overall, would not go back.

Modern male is always a pleasure to go to. Every time I have been I am greeted by a wonderful professional staff. Offering my an espresso or just always checking on me. They have the best hot shaves and haircuts. The environment is very laid back but not stuffy. I love coming here. Thank you for having such a great establishment and keep up the good work.

Great place– great service! I’m normally used to quick haircuts but more time was spent on my hair than any other hair place I have ever been. Really great atmosphere and personal service! Don’t think I can ever go back to a normal barber shop.

I have been to many different type of barbershops always looking for the most comfortable environment and the best barber. Modern male delivers on both fronts. Alex is the best barber that has ever touched my hair. I just close my eyes and let him work his magic.

For 3 years I’ve only worked with a celebrity barber shop in the east village and avoided Staten Island at all cost for haircuts. Something told me to give Modern Male a shot and Alex delivered. Generally a solid yet smooth experience. I stand by the belief in getting what you pay for, yet Modern Male is an exception. A real bargain and much bang for your buck. Alex and Co. have earned my business.

Best barbershop I’ve been to in my life, I look forward to coming in every time, the staff is friendly and catering as they offer you beverages while you wait. What makes the barbershop is Alex, he is the best barber I’ve ever seen; knows his stuff, ask him for tips and advice for your hair and style

Tony is the man for a great cut and this place is a relaxing escape from reality.
Matter of fact think I need an appt this week!

This is a perfect place for the male that don’t want to go to a salon with there wives — hair cuts are great and worth it ! Pedicures are worth every penny every time ! Wish they had a back massage special for 30mins or 60 mins! It’s a good place to go to after a long work week to relax!

It was my sons first time at modern male, I was very excited to see what it was all about. The place was booming with clients which made it seem like this was «the place to be». Unfortunately I was very disappointed with how long I waited and the unprofessionalism I received from the barber. The barber Allan I believe was the name, was extremely rude to the other employees while cutting my sons hair. The place also looked very under staffed for a weekend. The concept of this salon is incredible and it is beautiful inside but management of this salon is very poor.

I have given a lot of friends gift cards for this place and they love it! Lots of services available for men including facials, hot shaves, pedicures and manicures. The staff is very welcoming and it is always very clean! Beautifully done!

If you’re looking for a great experience make sure you see Tony and the great staff at modern male. A one of a kind experience! Tony cuts my hair to perfection every time! 5 stars great place, great atmosphere, great staff!

I went to this place for the first time in 2013. It is where I met Brittany and first decided it was time to get a facial! Yes the thing I have heard girls talk about forever and thought it was something for woman! Brittany is the best she makes my skin look amazing and once a month I go and have what has turned out to be one of my favorite things to do. It really is the most relaxing experience and after a long work week nothing is better and Brittany is the only person I will go to. Now when going for a hair cut no one is better then Mary

I used to go to barber shops, but decided to try something a little higher quality and after coming here for a year, there is definitely a difference. I’ve tried a few of the barbers here, but Tony is the only person I’ll get my haircut with. He listens to what you want, takes his time, and does an amazing job. He has tons of knowledge on how to style your hair too. One of the best barbers I’ve had.
It’s a little pricey though, but it’s the full package. If you want something cheap and quick, this place isn’t what your looking for. If you’re looking for quality and knowledge, there really isn’t any other place on Staten Island.
Definitely recommend.

At first glance Modern Male looks like a shiny penny. But if you look closely all the flaws will show. A lot of money, time and energy was spent on the construction of this place. I was so excited to have a place so close to me dedicated just to men that was nice to look at but at the same time still remaining masculine. Kudos to you on that. However, if you spend some time there you see the unprofessionalism that surrounds you and all of the employees’ drama spilling over to the customer experience. That said i probably could deal with that but I have been charged a different price for the same service every time I have been there. I am done with this place. So disappointed.

Usually have a good experience at this place. I’ve had my hair cut by Tony, Alex and Maria and would go back to any one of them. Top notch service and the staff treats you like a king from the minute you step in. Only one you should avoid is Jaimie. Maybe because she’s new, or maybe it was because I went in close to closing time; but she seemed completely disinterested and looked like she was in a rush to get out of there. Aside from her, I would totally recommend this place.

This is the best haircut experience I’ve ever had, hands down. Sure it’s a little pricier than a barber shop but they really make you feel like royalty. Even a regular, no-​frills haircut means a shampoo before and after, as well as a hot towel and neck rub.
And even though it’s not exactly PC to say this, the women here are absolutely gorgeous!

Came in for a pedicure today. One of the fastest and worst pedi I ever had and I have been getting them over 20 years. Gave my legs and feet a great massage. But the nail cuts, cleans and Calus sanding and remove was mediocre at best. Had first one here a month ago. The girl was nice personable and did a great job her name was Sara. Today I had Antonia she does not compare at all. I will give this place one more chance. And to top it off. I can barely walk out of the place. My feet are killing me!

Place is unprofessional and racist towards anybody that is not white from jersey shore material. Receptionist mary was a bitch and needs to get a reality check cause shes nowhere near pretty when she gave me the rolling eyes telling me theres no such thing as a walkin on sundays.Bullshit.ive been doing it since they opened. she noticed my last name was spanish and gave me the round around three times for an appt. Run while you can… save your time and aggravation and go elsewhere. who cares about their range rovers parked up front while they hang out and smoke while they make you wait to get cut… They cut hair crooked. Bangs were not stright at all and top butchered with shears and nyc priced. better off going to the city. what a joke!!!
run fast…

I had a very nice experience today at Modern Male. I only went for a hot shave, and didn’t get a haircut or use the mani/​pedi services. I had a gift certificate, otherwise I may not have found Modern Male. I was able to get a last minute appointment, and was greeted promptly when I arrived. They have a comfy waiting area with nice couches, coffee, tea and a TV. I found it strange that a men’s «day spa» would be showing the Rachael Ray Show. Alex did an excellent job on my hot shave. He was very precise and I didn’t get any nics. While I was getting my shave, the TV above my chair was playing Wendy Williams. Again, strange programing choice, but I still left Modern Male feeling great and very relaxed. I will definitely be back. The only negative I noticed was a $ 40 minimum when using a credit card. While I understand the processing fees can be a pain for a business, but I think a $ 40 minimum is a bit steep. Be prepared and bring cash.
