About us

A Leeds barbershop built on regulars

Modern Barbers sits in Thornton's Arcade, in the middle of Leeds. Three chairs, walk-ins welcome, and a wall of reviews that keeps growing.

The shop

In the middle of everything Leeds

Off Briggate, under the glass roof of the arcade — a short walk from the markets, the shops and the station.

We've built our name the slow way: one good cut at a time. Students who stay in the city, dads who bring their lads, regulars who have been coming for years.

It adds up to a 4.97 rating across 991 Booksy reviews — and a chair that stays busy seven days a week.

The barbers

Aysan, Jay and Hamid

Three barbers, one standard. Ask for a name, or take the next chair — you're in good hands either way.

Aysan's name fills the reviews: precise cuts, clean beards, and a finish people keep coming back for.

Jay has regulars who won't let anyone else near their hair — a couple of years in his chair and they're not moving. Hamid completes the three.

The reputation

Earned one cut at a time

We don't advertise much — the reviews do it for us. 4.97 out of 5, and a chair that fills itself.
