Frank’s Hairstylist

The first time I came I walked in off the street and had an amazing experience and then I lost the card. Got on Unilocal and recognized Alex’s name. He also remembered me from 2 months ago. This is the most affordable top shelf cut you can get, gentlemen.

Franks is my favorite barbershop in NYC. All of the barbers here (Alex, Yuri and Sal) cut hair like real old school professionals and I always leave more than happy. Would highly recommend.

Easily the best haircut and barber shop experience I have ever had. The shop has a friendly atmosphere, professional employees and killer cuts at a bargain.

Alex just saved my friends life. He asked my roommate to give him a light trim and 5 seconds later he was half bald. Alex fixed all the problems with his hair and stays open later than others in neighborhood

Alex is awesome and gives a great haircut! Everyone should go here, he’s so fun to talk to and it’s just a great place to be. Highly recommend!

This is by far — the best haircutting experience I have ever had!
I had half an hour to space, and wanted to get a hair cut, and I found this place.
I was a bit in doubt of the quality — but thought «what the heck» and explained what I wanted. The process itself was an experience!
most is doing with a shaver, which is (where I’m from) a bad sign, but everything was done with complete control and feel. My neck was shaved with an old straight razor: nice touch.
It was the best outcome as well — I have taken pictures to use for future references when I’m getting my hair cut back home!
Aaand it was cheap. My girlfriend also got a cut, and we ended up paying 46 dollars. Now I don’t know about you, but that is insanely inexpensive in my opinion for that kind of quality hair cut!!!

Visiting NY for the first time. I checked out Washington Square Park to see some sights. I walked down Thompson and saw a barbershop and I thought. Why not? I could use a haircut.
Cathy was masterful. She said wouldn’t make me look stupid. After the first cut I knew it was going to be great. Her confidence and speed was no joke. Best haircut by far, I would fly out from SF to come here again!

Great place with nice people and an old school vibe. Mira did a great job and cut my hair exactly as I wanted it. If you are in the neighborhood and need a quick, cheap, and high quality haircut I would recommend stopping in!

I highly recommend Yuri for a great, consistent cut. He’s very professional and understands what you want.

Yuri is a cool guy and makes it clear that he knows what he is doing with clippers in his hand. I highly recommend him for a mans cut

Truly fantastic experience, I’ve definitely found my new barber shop. I hadn’t gotten a haircut in 3 months, but Alex cleaned me up extremely well! I highly recommend this place if you live in the area.

Got my beard trimmed and neck shaped up from Yuri today. The neck shape up looks excellent and very clean. I told him I was growing my beard and I only wanted a trim but for some reason he’s trimmed off way more than I asked for. I’m sure I’ll feel better in a few days but right now I’m quite sad about having lost so much of my full bodied beard :(
He did a good job on my moustache and back of my neck though, so well done for that. A little too pricey, $ 24 for 10 minutes’ (essentially $ 144/​hour) work but he gave me a dollar off because I’m a student.

I’ve been seeing Kathy for quite a few years now and I’ll follow her wherever she goes! She always gives me the best haircuts and I look forward to chatting with her about my life and what’s happening in the world (she not only does great hair but is an awesome listener).
The Frank’s barbershop is in a great location and the prices are more than reasonable. I’ll continue to get my haircuts there and I can always count on Kathy for a stellar cut and gab!

Kathy! She got it right the first time! I really like this place, an original, not a chain.

Frank’s is my place for a well-​priced haircut, especially when I don’t have a lot of time to spare. Ask for Kathy — her friendliness and big smile will brighten just about any day!

I will highly recommend Yuri, he make really good haircut for me in the past year. if you want to have a good haircur in a fair price (20 for man), just come here!

I went to Kathy based on these reviews and her reviews from Salon G – unbelievably shitty experience. Never again. Maybe she’s a whiz on male hair, but not on women’s.
Place was empty. Right away, something was off. I don’t know if Kathy has emphysema or what, but she was wheezing when she got up.
I had called to make an appointment and the shop doesn’t even have voicemail acceptance. No one picked up the phone.
I have a basic cut I want to maintain every six months with trims and that’s it. I thought this would be easy but when Kathy actually started the cut, she was hurrying through it like she wanted to finish it so she could sit down again (not that I don’t sympathize with a person with joint and breathing problems, but if it means getting hurt or having my hair chopped up, less so).
She ripped her comb violently through my hair, hurting my scalp and breaking hair strands, literally ripping through. That made me angry. The comb kept scratching my ear until I pointed that out. The scissors sounded/​looked rusty. She grabbed in fists to trim.
At one point she dropped the comb on the floor, dunked it back in Barbicide, and continued brushing. I said nothing. She had no replacement and at that stage I was just praying she didn’t butcher the cut or accidentally snip something she shouldn’t with the scissors.
At the end she didn’t even sweep up the hair so I had to step through it. At one point I was leaving she leaned right into my face to say something obnoxious about why I should have left the computer bag against the wall (not comfortable with that, someone could come in and walk out with it, and I wouldn’t even be able to see).
It’s not that stylists aren’t allowed to be tired or have bad moods, but if someone is touching my body or near me with scissors, I don’t want to be the recipient of it.
Looking at it today, I realize she did a hack job on me and another stylist had to cut off a lot to even it out, so I’m pretty angry. I’m embarrassed I believed the reviews her. Going to Kathy was INCREDIBLY uncomfortable, physically painful, and when stylists act like they’re going to break all your hair or shear you for pissing them off or trying to explain what you’d like (she kept shushing me and just telling me she was a pro when I explained I wanted to neaten up with I had), it’s not good. There are much better cuts for under $ 40 bucks around this neighborhood, even at places where at least one person has given me a bad cut. Penny at Infinity Salon has given me decent cuts; I’ve also gotten decent cuts over on 7^th Avenue at Limitone’s. Also with Elizabeth (speak clearly, though) at Seventh Heaven. (Avoid Alex like the plague; he’ll butcher off half of your hair intentionally and then charge you for the cut. I am not exaggerating. He’s a creep.)
Horrible experience here and I should have known what I was in for when the only good reviews are male customers.

I strongly recommend Cathy to guys who like to keep their hair style simple and trendy. She has been cutting my hair for 23 years since 1992.

Kathy! Kathy! Kathy! (I see other reviewers beat me to the punch!)
She’s been my barber for 30 years and I followed her when she recently moved to this shop. Besides a great haircut, Kathy is alway on game, and as friendly as a puppy.
The atmosphere is relaxed, and the other barbers seem nice. It’s just that after 30 years, I wouldn’t trust my head to anyone else.

I come here because Kathy (formerly of Salon G) works here. She is super friendly and always gives me a great hair cut and color (I’m pre-​maturely gray). The price is right and the place is super laid back. You don’t have to worry about barbers shouting back and forth while you’re waiting. I highly recommend them and Kathy if you need a great hair cutting experience in the village !!
