Jacks Barber Shop

Not a Barber Shop, an experience.
Old school Italian barber shop at its finest. Complete with witty banter and a cast of characters that will put a smile on your face. For $ 14 bucks a cut, not a bad deal, but with the company you are in it’s practically a steal. Straight razor finish with hot shaving cream is dying art you just don’t see anymore. Attention to detail on my cut and a old school craft carries Jacks above the rest. Let’s face it, I have caterpillars for eyebrows too, and Frankie took care of it of course.
My only regret is that my grandfather isn’t alive to see a place like this. If my father is in town I’m going to force him to come here, he lives for this kind of shop.
Well done Frankie the Barber, this place truly is a gem.

My son turned me on to this place and I was so impressed. I thought the days of the old school barber shop were long since passed. That is too bad considering the craft that Frankie and Nino practice is one that should never be lost. This place should have its own TV show since the entertainment is almost as great as the haircut. And I say that knowing just how great the haircuts are. I hope this place stays for many years to come.

Old school barbershop. Two chairs, lots of Italian pride decorations, haircut is given with care.
Frankie cut my hair. He was helpful in addressing my hair problems (it sticks up). He offered a long term solution that no barber I had ever mentioned. Very helpful!
High quality scissor cuts with razors on the side. I got the gentleman comb over and it’s been my favorite haircut of my life.
Wait time was 2.5 hours on a Saturday morning which is typical. The cost was $ 14.

I stopped by Jack’s this morning on my way to work, since I was (amazingly) running ahead of schedule after dropping my daughter off at school. I have driven by Jack’s many times on Branch Ave. near Charles St., but had never gone there for a haircut.
Frank was on duty, and he greeted me warmly. Once I was seated, he asked me how I would like to have my hair cut. This is always a good sign, since some barbers just grab their shears and go to town.
During my haircut, Frank asked me how I liked what he was doing, and how the haircut looked. I appreciated this, because there have been a few times when I have left the barbershop feeling unhappy about my haircut. That was not the case at Jack’s– on the contrary, I was very satisfied with the haircut I got from Frank. The cost was $ 14; not including tip.
Like the other reviewers have said, Jack’s is a great barbershop. Do yourself a favor and get your hair cut there. You will love the way you look!

Frankie and Nino are some of the best old school barbers you will experience. The environment is welcoming as well as entertaining for all. The best part is the haircut out does the environment. If your looking for an old school barber with a straight razor shave to finish it off this is the place to be.

Best cut in Providence. Frankie is always entertaining his customers, and is always welcoming. Laid back & old school environment. His haircuts are always exactly what you want, and he remembers what you want everytime. Highly recommended.

As far as local barber shops go, Jacks is the place that I have been going to on a regular basis when I’m in need of a good haircut.
This place is definitely no frills, old school vibe /​décor inside but when I sit down in the chair, I know that I’m going to leave there with a good looking haircut. Frankie the barber always does a great job and I really enjoy the fact that at the end of every haircut he finishes off /​cleans it up with hot foam and a straight razor trim around the edges.
The only downside I can think of is that depending on what time you go, there might be a wait since this place takes walk-​ins and doesn’t do appointments. But overall, this is a great spot that I can consistently rely on to receive a good quality haircut.

Frankie The Barber and Niño are the best old school barbers in New England !
