Dropped in unannounced to get haircut and was beyond pleased with results. Highly recommend giving them a chance.

Paul is great and has always been very accommodating in making time to see me. He definitely knows what he is doing and the haircuts are affordable and always on point. He is also generally a very nice person, which makes the haircut a very pleasant experience. read more

Great service, very respectful, outstanding price! I'd highly suggest checking them out.

I called Sunday and was able to set up an appointment w Paul within the hour. I've seen many barbers and by far Paul has been one of the best! He was professional and very humble. I got the exact haircut I was looking for and I would highly recommend Paul! I'm definitely coming back for my next cut. read more

They are very talented hair stylists. I have had a different person every time I have come here and they are all great! I love that they always ask for direction before proceeding to ensure you are satisfied with your haircut. read more

Love it, Helen helped me out last minute with a clean cut. She's professional, nice and such a good value. Including tip for a men's haircut I was otd for $20, can't really beat that. read more

I truly enjoyed my experience here and the prices are very reasonable. My traditional cut is a skin fade and some barbers charge upwards of $25 plus for this cut and include a tip and your spending close to $35 a cut. I cut my hair about once every 7-8 days and at $35 dollars that can added up quickly. The staff here was very friendly and truly care that you walk away satisfied with your haircut. They made a loyal customer. read more

Not a traditional barber shop at all. Paul did such a great job on my hair. Beautiful highlights and cut. He is very talented. The salon is clean, he uses great products, good prices and you cal tell that Pail takes pride in giving the customer what they want. He hid a great job on my husband's hair as well. read more

I took my son to get a haircut about 2wks ago and I loved it! Even my son liked it a lot. My son always prefers to cut his hair with a female, but he felt comfortable with Paul. He does a great job, very nice and also takes his time. Shop is clean and is a comfortable atmosphere. I recommended this shop. I'll be brining him back soon. This will actually be my sons barber now. read more

Paul is great guy. His shop is super modern. I just get simple haircut and its excellent by him and by the girl there (I think her name is Nancy). They both do a detailed job. I thought since both were Asian they would not cut my Caucasian hair well but I was wrong. He even cut my hair a day the shop was closed. That is customer service! read more

Ive had my haircut here several times already and my hair always turns out great. Paul is the guy to go to but if he's not available Linda can do the job just as good. They're friendly and they always ask you how you want your hair done and also check with you while they're cutting your hair if you like what you see so far. read more

Nice place. Staff very hospitable and I got a great hair cut from Kathy.

Went in for the first time the other day. The guy did a great job. He is a little hard to understand but my hair came out great so that's what counts! read more

I live in la but have been coming to oc for work for the last few months. Desperate for a decent cut in an unfamiliar area I was recommended to try Modern Barber. I came in with an undercut and left with a nice short spiked fade. Teri did an amazing job on my hair and I will absolutely be coming back for more. If you're on the fence, don't be. Give Modern Barber a try and you won't regret it. read more

Been going here for about 4 years and Paul is amazing does a great job doing what I want for my hair.

This is absolutely the best barber shop in the Irvine/Tustin area. I get my hair cut by Paul (the owner) and the cut always comes out exactly as I wanted. You also can't beat the price. read more

I get my haircut once a month and I feel like I have been to every mens barber in Tustin & Irvine. Paul is the best barber In the area. He takes his time and I have never been disappointed with a haircut. He will literally cut every hair on your head one at a time, but for the product and the price ($15), you can not beat this place. read more

Love this place! My son's hair cut and boyfriend's, cant be better! Always a great job! They take their time and are exactly on point with their styles! Thanks guys! read more

Just went there today, and the reviews are correct. These guys are great! I've been looking for a place to get my son's hair cut for 7 years. I've been to no less than 15 salons/barber shops in Newport Beach, Irvine, Tustin, and Westminster and beyond to find a place just for him. I usually find them lacking in technique. And for the two places where the technique was solid, they had poor skills working with kids. Lee, at Modern Barber, was technically solid and worked well with a fidgety kid who hates having stuff touch his face (i.e. bits and pieces of hair). I'm so happy that I finally don't have to commute 5 hours to get his hair cut. And, for the germaphobes out there - this place is CLEAN. You will love it! read more

Paul is legit! He is more concerned with the quality of one haircut than how many he can do in a day. Get to this place.... #TeamPaul

Based on previous reviews, I decided to come here on my lunch break and showed up exactly at 9:30. I have been waiting out front for 15 minutes and no one has showed up to open. The business hours don't seem to apply on some days apparently. . read more

I've been to a few of the Barbers but Paul and Kathy are the top. Excellent fast cut classic with a bit of an edge. I'll be back every three weeks. Great head massage too read more

Paul is the best Barber around always giving out the freshest cuts! This place is clean, well organized & in a nice area. ALL YELPERS please remember that if you want the freshest cuts you should always hit up Modern Barber! 5 stars!!!! -Justin N. read more

Only place I've been getting my haircut since moving here usually always a great haircut. But just left today and the guy did not listen to me what so ever. The haircut looks terrible. He cut it way too short when I showed him how much to cut off and made the side of my hair look like a marine cut and not the shelf look like I asked for. It's hair so it will grow back in a couple weeks so it's not too big of a deal but it's still frustrating to have a bad haircut read more

I have never written a yelp review before but wanted to write my first one because I am so pleased with my experience and haircut. My hair stylist was THUY, a very likable person who has a real talent working with hair. On a recommendation I came in for a color and cut and THUY, after a consultation, effortlessly did her magic. She gave me a new hair style that made me look younger and more stylish. The next day in the office I got a lot of compliments on my new haircut. People passing me in the hallway told me that my hair style looked cool. THUY thank you so much for doing such a great job on my hair! read more

One of the best place I've been to when cutting my hair. Came in and I didn't wait much, a nice girl took me right in and asked for my cut and she did a good job, than I believe Paul the comes in to see how my hair was and double checks. They are very friendly and also take their time to cut our hair. If there was a 10 star I'd give it to them because they did a good job with my hair that was a comb over. read more

Been here twice now and both times I have left happy. I really appreciate lynns (hope I spelled that right) professional and attention to detail. Will continue going and highly recommend. read more

Always leave with a great cut from Paul! Very happy with the service. The parking on the other hand is sometimes absolutely impossible!

OMG! Came in for a color on Saturday...and exited with a fabulous new hair cut by Paul! He is truly the best! I have received the greatest of compliments regarding my new cut. I can honestly say that I trust Paul with my hair and I am never disappointed with his professional results. Thank you Paul! read more

Was in Santa Ana for work and read the reviews and gave this place a shot. Was able to get right in and got a great cut and was back out in no time. And for the price in SoCal was good deal. Will head back next time I'm in the area. read more

Helen is so professional and fast. She listens to you and cuts you hair exactly the same model you asked for. My father always ask for her when he needs haircut. We are now the regular customer here :) read more

Paul is a great barber and knows his stuff! He takes his time if it's your first visit, but defintely worth the wait.

I found Modern Barber by chance driving around in Tustin. I just moved to Irvine and needed to find a good barber shop, so I just checked out Paul's shop and it was clean and professional. The haircut was the same...exactly what I wanted, very precise, clean and even, and great attention to details. I would call this shop a "hybrid" between a barber shop and salon. Excellent barber shop feel and prices for guys like me, full service capability, modern look with upgraded audio/video and sofas for comfort while you wait...huge value for this $15 haircut! Highly recommend. read more

I love this place. Nancy Nguyen is my artist. She can make me look handsome with her magic fingers and her smile melts my heart.

First time customer, and I'll definitely be back. Nancy did a great job. She is very detailed and ensured I was satisfied with my haircut.

So my first time here was a good experience. The lady that cut my hair did a fairly good job. However, the second time around was not as good. Although the customer service was great, stylist very friendly, she did a bad job on my high fade. It was uneven on both sides and she left very hard lines. My wife did a double take which made me more self conscious. All that being said, I don't think I'll come back. For the quality, I'm better off going to a cheaper barber. read more

Came in here at 9:50 am. I assumed you didn't need an appointment. There's nothing in the shop that indicates that. so I sat there and waited. 30 minutes go by and I ask if Paul is coming in cause im next and the guy tells me I need appointment. So I walked out. If I had known I wouldn't have wasted my time. Typical customer service. People don't like working on weekends so they treat customers like shit. read more

3 different people have cut my hair there...they are so meticulous. Each person does an excellent job. Keep up the good work!

I've been coming here for a while now and have had my hair cut by almost everyone who works here. Thuy was by far the best and I started making appointments with her. Called in earlier this week to make an appointment and was told she didn't work there anymore. I asked if she left contact information or the name of her new place and I barely finished my sentence before I was told in an angry voice, "WE DON'T HAVE THAT!". That was really unprofessional. I doubt I'll be coming back. read more

I usually cut my own hair because I find barbers are sloppy or have a difficult time getting it the way I like. Neither was the case here. Nancy gave me a great cut just with some little directions on how I wanted it and made suggestions along the way. Good technique left it very even with no missed spots. Took me from shaggy (2 months uncut) to slick in less than 30 minutes. read more
