People’s Barber Shop

Did a great job on my boyfriends hair

I’ve been coming to Frankie for haircuts for 6 years now. Despite having moved much further away than before I still make the trip to get my haircut with Frankie because I have found no other place that does as good a job. I also really like her as a person and enjoy being around her calm and caring energy.

Franki did a great job on my hair. She’s friendly and her new dog, Oxo, is quiet and reserved.
It was my first time at this barbershop. I went due to the many positive reviews on Unilocal.
Franki asked many questions about how I liked my hair to look. I gave her vague answers and she responded with a skilled cut that exceeded my expectations.
I will be back!

Franki is the best barber in the city, hands down. She’s friendly, very talented, and puts a lot of work into making sure you’re happy with your haircut. I’ve been to other barbers in the city, and none of them come close to the quality. She’s very reasonably-​priced, too!

I should have gone to supercuts. At least then I would have paid less money for a bad haircut.
Everything seemed fine at first. I normally get a basic gentlemen’s cut but just wanted a cleanup today, not a full cut. Frankie started off on the sides and back with a trimmer and comb, fading it up. Took it a little shorter than I like at the edges but no big deal. She took an appropriate amount off the top but didn’t blend it well with the sides. Had her correct it twice, which of course means more hair gets taken off than intended. She cleaned up my neck and used a vacuum hose to collect the loose hair on my head. Odd, never seen that before, but not a bad idea.
So I’m ready to pay. $ 20?! First, it was only a 15 min job. Second, not a good one. Three, more modern, trendy shops charge less! I had been going to a barber in OB for 2 years that just recently increased to $ 18, and I get a beer while i wait! The only reason I didn’t go there today was because of the crowds due to the OB street fair and was in an immediate need of a cut.
When I got home later, I go to the bathroom to inspect it close up. Looks ok from the front. Then I begin to notice it’s got uneven spots on the sides. I feel around the back and I notice it’s longer. I get a second mirror to look and see that the upper part of the back was barely touched! Newsflash: mullets went out of style 20 years ago!
Tomorrow (a Sunday) I’m hoping I can find a real barber to fix this hack job before I go to work this week.

i love what Frankie does to my man! when she’s done with him he’s feeling real good about his appearance.
here’s the before and after

Nice barber shop in the heart of North Park. I felt compelled to break up the unanimous 5 star reviews because I have had to wait a long time (on a few occassions) to get my turn in the chair. I think Franki is running this place on her own. If your free time is precious to you (new father here), you may want to check out one of the other shops nearby, but otherwise this place is really nice and Franki should be proud of the work she’s doing.

Been coming to People’s Barbershop for 10 years… Frankie is the best! Very professional, great suggestions and cuts perfectly. My son now get his haircuts by Frankie by request.

I normally get my hair cut near where I work, about 20 minutes north. I needed a haircut and wasn’t going to be near work for another week. So I stopped into People’s. Franki did a fantastic job. I went in expecting a haircut. I left a convert. I will certainly be returning for future haircuts.
I would recommend People’s Barber Shop to anybody with hair. Seriously.

I’ve been going to People’s Barbershop for six years now (since I moved to San Diego). I no longer live in North Park, but continue going there even though I have to drive out of my way…
Franki always takes care of her guests. She’ll soon become more than a barber, but a friend. Give her (and her little dog Dillan) a try. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been raving about my haircut with Franki since visiting People’s Barber Shop three days ago. My hair has never looked this cool. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Had my hair cut by Genevive. She was friendly and personable, and did an excellent job. Offered me good suggestions, while simultaneously giving me exactly the cut I wanted. Thanks!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Small hidden gem in the middle of North Park. Gen is awesome and did a awesome job. The people that go there have been going there for years and from what I hear franki is a very sweet lady. I look forward to coming back. I felt like I was at a high class barber.

Since moving to San Diego I have only used one barber. Franki is the best in town. I never worry about a bad haircut coming to see her. Great music and great conversation. And who wouldn’t love coming in and greeting Dylan. If you want the best experience in San Diego come in and see Fanki and Dylan you won’t be disappointed !

Just wanted to restate everything I said back in my first review in 2010. Franki is one of the friendliest, most consistent small business owners I know and she has a large following of loyal customers. I saw a recent review of someone complaining she got upset about them misplacing a magazine??? I have no idea what that is about, but that doesn’t sound like her at all. If she said something I can only imagine her comment was misconstrued.
If you live in North Park and need a decent barber that can take you on a walk-​in basis, I would totally recommend giving this place a try.

Great shop

This place Rules! Franki is awesome !! Dillon the Shitzu is cool too. She’s very thorough… Pleasant and funny!

Not too satisfied with the barber shop. There were no prices seen around. I usually get my fade haircut. She stated that she usually charges $ 20, but ends up charging me $ 25. Because I made her work to cut my hair. If I knew i was going to pay this much, I would of went to supercuts and got my hair washed while im at it, and that only costs $ 20. No offense its a simple fade cut and not a styling job. I think i rather go back to my regular stylist at super cuts and tell them the experience i had just to pay that much. Tell you the truth for $ 25 at supercuts i could of got my hair shampooed, a haircut, and a theraputic scalp massage. I know we are in recession, but no simple haircut should be bumped up because i made you work hard to cut my hair. I should of went to 619 barber shop down the street!!!

The only barber shop in the area I’ve found that I’m satisfied with. Franki knows exactly what you want when you describe it to her, its like she’s in your head. Then she makes it happen, quickly, no BS and with some good conversation. Prices are about the same as other shops in the area, but the other places just don’t seem to know as much about the craft, or want to do what you ask for.
Franki is top notch, highly recommended!

Sweet spot in North Park to get your hair did (guys), Franki hooked me up and had me looking good in no time which is really difficult for ya’ll that know my ugly @$$. The background music was all 50’s genre and there were alot of black and white pictures of the shop and the surrounding area.
A real laid back no BS type of shop at reasonable prices. Will be getting my haircut here from now on, Peace out Supercuts!
