The Modern Barber Shop has been in its present location next to Puck's Donuts since 1980. Before that it was located in the plaza since at least 1931, probably dating back to the early 1900's. Today, it is owned by Glenn Miller, who bought it a year and a half ago from Vern Cordier, who still works at the shop. Contrary to what the name suggests, the Modern Barber Shop is a nostalgic reminder of an older Ashland, one that predates gentrification and the spawning of trendy hair salons.
