Frank’s legacy

A traditional Barber Shop in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood, Frank’s Barber shop has been open in the city since 1972. Frank came from a long line from of barbers, stemming from a family tradition. The shop maintains its old fashioned charm and straightforward services you can expect from a traditional Chicago Barbershop.

It offers to cut and style various lengths of hair, from shoulder-length to short hair, of adults and children. Its options include buzz cuts, shaves, pompadours, and side trims. The barbers at the shop also cut and style beards and mustaches. For clients awaiting their appointments, Frank’s Barber Shop provides them with complimentary craft beers. It also has multiple beard oils, neck strips, and towels available for each session.

Tradition with a side of bourbon…

Frank’s Barbershop continues to operate under new owner, Mat Bonnette who has brought a bit of vinyl, craft beer, bourbon and edge to the neighborhood barbershop.

Honoring Tradition…

When I decided to leave my gig as a tradesman to become a barber full-time I dreamed of owning my own place. Something that I can do my thing where people felt relaxed and were treated with respect. When I found Frank’s Barber Shop it was clear that I had to honor his legacy, so we kept the name. He and I share the same respect for tradition and history. I may have added a bit of bourbon but the honor and respect for barbering remain. 

My promise to Frank and you, my customer: I’ll always have good music playing, I’ll always offer you a good drink, I’ll always treat you with respect and give you great service.
