2007-04-05 15:22:47   Frank gives a decent haircut, plays good music, and is a great bet for barbershop conversation/humor. Prices have increased to $17 or 18 though, so I've switched to another local shop that charges five bucks less. Switch back to your old prices Frank! —matty_s


2009-03-28 11:01:23   Frank is classic; he's been here over 40 years and just works Thursday through Saturday to cut hair and chat with those he's known for decades (he takes any walk ins though); You simply can't beat the experience in this old-gas-station-turned-old barber-shop; hours are very limited, and be warned the closing hour is when Frank leaves, not when you can get a last appointment; lots of cool old trinkets in the shop to look at, and some cool barber poles; Frank charges a bit more than others, but you simply can't buy the experience for less. —AlanMiller
