The brainchild of founders Ton and Lesley Villanueva, Modern Fox isn’t just about looking sharp; it blends meticulous grooming with a chic social scene. Inspired by the fast-paced lifestyle of busy professionals and entrepreneurs, the lounge promotes a breath of fresh air amid the clamor of the city. Here, you can slip into a plush chair and order an artisanal coffee or one of their signature cocktails, all while getting a haircut or manicure. Yes, they cater to ladies too, so everyone can treat themselves to a bit of luxury.
While the barber and bar concept isn’t new, what sets Modern Fox apart is its unique ability to reshape our perception of grooming, especially in Manila. Gone are the days when a visit to the barber was merely a chore; now, it’s a destination. Modern Fox has successfully transformed self-care into a shared experience—a new tradition where family time is just as important as looking good.
Step into the lounge, and you’re welcomed by a sleek design that channels an upscale English pub vibe—with deep red walls and chic black and gold touches, nothing feels out of place. The centerpiece? A stunning 360-degree cocktail bar where relaxation takes the lead. Here, the cocktail menu shines with sips like the Amaretto Sour (PHP400), the founder’s favored drink, peanut-infused Negroni, Modern Fox Special Ton-Groni (PHP400), and the crowd-favorite French Vanilla Latte (PHP180), which has become a TikTok sensation. The drinks are crafted to elevate your downtime, be it a quick visit or a long, leisurely afternoon.
Their “Unlimited Aperol Spritz” offer—at just PHP999, is a hit among those looking to unwind from 5pm to 8pm. With talented DJs turning up the energy on “Foxy Fridays,” the lounge has also positioned itself as a pre-game spot for those gearing up for BGC’s nightlife.
Modern Fox doesn’t just serve drinks. The menu delights with “Foxy Bites” that pair perfectly with your cocktail. From a hearty sausage platter (PHP450) to pastries like sausage roll and brownies (PHP50 each) the selection showcases support for local establishments like Swell Sweets, ensuring that each bite is as good for the community as it is for your taste buds.
With a team dedicated to creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, they’ve invested time in the little details that make a big difference. Comfy chairs, massages during services, and seamless service create an environment focused on the guest’s comfort. And yes, don’t be surprised to find a bottle of Ginebra Gin Kwatro Kantos (Filipino genever gin) on the shelf—it’s a fun treat to their expat clientele curious to explore a local flavor.
Modern Fox Barber & Lounge is redefining the idea of a barbershop in Metro Manila. When you roll in for a grooming session, you’re not just there to look sharp; you’re there to unwind, socialize, and savor the experience—making it the ultimate smart escape in BGC.
