One of the painful parts of moving to a new city is leaving behind the great people you’ve found to help you solve problems in your life.

In my line of work, like many professionals, a well-manicured and modern appearance that projects confidence is invaluable. Modern Styles Barber Lounge provided me with exactly what I requested – a relaxed and tailored barber experience.
While prepping his work area, owner and Master Barber Professor Roy reintroduced me to the world of hair and skin care via an impromptu master class in image preservation. Needless to say, Professor Roy is deserving of such a title as he is a true scholar of not only barbering but modern grooming styles and techniques.
This quaint barber lounge located near vibrant Uptown Altamonte Springs, put me in a nostalgic mood as the sounds of classic soul and R&B greats escaped the confines of the lounges widely-opened door. This is the place the young and upcoming as well as the mastered and mature professional needs to come for all their hair styling and skin care services.
