I needed a trim and specifically told my barber (Noel) to not use a razor on the top of my head and he proceeds to do so a few moments later. Nice guys but won’t be going back.

Cut itself was ok, but this must have been one of the most uncomfortable/ painful haircuts I have ever had. On the positive side, this place is pretty cheap for the area , but I would rather pay 10$ more for an actual comfortable and painless haircut that you can get at other places .

Ok. This is the old school. Fausto is the best of the best. He’s the last chair in back. He’s like an old friend after so many years. I’ve had the bumble and bumble razor cuts and all that jazz but this place is the jam. The guy with the self portrait on the wall is great too. And the owner is just a great guy and if you catch it right he sings the Spanish hits as they play. Bring the vibes. Classic. And Fausto’s son. Well, you can’t beat the love of generations. The cuts are great. The people amazing. They have great pricing, Yup, this place worth the visit. I don’t review much but thought be nice to spread the love. But don’t take the seat when I am coming. Ha. Ps - I’m a white man in 50s who also had my son get his cuts there. They care, always there when you need em and to me, a special place I think you will feel the same.

The worst experience ever. I let my hair grow for 4 months because I was sporting the eboy or curtain hairstyle. I just wanted to tidy up the sides, the back, and trim the ends a little. I showed him a reference, and he proceeded to shave me. I still receive negative comments from other people about my hair.

I can’t speak to their haircuts but the shave I received there was the worst I’ve ever had. Not only was it uncomfortable (poor form, strenuous on my neck, etc.) but the shave was also uneven and numerous spots were fully missed. Sloppy and the opposite of ‘clean’ shave.

Went in for a beard trim and to line up my beard with a razor. Noel did an excellent and clean job. My skin is sensitive with clippers of the barber presses down too much but I left with no marks or burning or anything . They were very precise and clean. Prices are very reasonable for the neighborhood.

Absolutely Love this place. Have been going for 5 years, every 2- 3 weeks. My favorite is Fausto, but when he’s not available I see Franklyn who is also great! In the spring and summer, a baseball game is usually on, and at other times there’s joyous Dominican music playing. Very reasonable prices and lovely people. Enjoy!

We love Franklyn's! My boys (nearly grown) got their first haircuts there and continue to go there -- as does my husband. They are friendly, skilled and reasonably priced. We hope they re-open soon. We miss them so much!

If you want a general men’s haircut then I guess this place is fine but if you ask for anything different you’re just going to get that. I have been growing out the top of my hair and asked them to just shorten the sides and cleanup the top but not to take too much off. Well many ships later the top is short. I usually go to the barbershop across the street but the wait was too long so I decided to try the place. I will go back to Excellence Barber shop across the street from now on.

I have been getting my haircuts at Franklin's for years and have never been disappointed at any time! The place is clean and the barbers are excellent! I usually get my haircuts done by Jose or Franklin but all are great! One of the best values in New York City and yes, they do children's cuts with the same excellence as adults!
