Martha Cowles in 1971 set off each week, leaving her husband and 5 year old daughter behind, to get her NC barber’s license in Winston Salem. She came home only on weekends for almost a year until she finally graduated just in time for herself and her husband Phil to open their new shop in Park Road Shopping Center. Through the years, she and her husband have worked side by side to build their business while raising three children. Although Martha has enjoyed motherhood and being the stay at home mom, she has never stayed gone from the salon for long. She also loves cutting hair and talking to all the many customers that came through in a day. It wouldn’t be long before Martha knew your name and about you and your family if you visited Modern Haircutters for a haircut.
