Franklin's Barber Shop

I have never had anyone cut my my hair in 25 years except Kim in Marlton at Suede Salon and Spa...pretty swanky. Anywhoo at the coaxing of my friends I decided to visit Franklin's on East Girard. I obviously had serious trepidations...but decided to go to Franklin's. I had absolutely positively no idea who was going to cut my hair...but I sat on deck ...for who was going to cut my hair. John got my number...absolutely positively the nicest guy...as well as the rest of the staff...that our inviting and extremely funny...when I walked in I was old...fat..and ugly....but John is an artist...so I am still old...but not so ugly at 66. John is a very interesting person....anywhoo...I will be back to Franklin's...enough said...great team there...Respectfully Bob Sears

New to the neighborhood. I attempted to walk in for my appointment which are accepted at this shop (allegedly) however I was immediately turned away due to the barber stating they were closed. It was a few minutes passed five o clock, and business hours stated they closed at seven o clock. There was only one person seen waiting and the front door was open. It was obvious there is a biasness towards P.O.C. who possess textured hair. I will NEVER support this ""salon"" because it's hardly a barbershop

I received great service from a friendly group of barbers, however, I have some concerns regarding their barbering skills. My requested style (the top photo) differed significantly from the result (the middle photo), requiring me to shave again at home to achieve a satisfactory look. Consequently, I don't plan to return to that barbershop or any other in the future, as I believe I can achieve better results myself. Furthermore, I was charged $40 despite the unsatisfactory outcome.
