While it is a barber college, I have never had a bad cut here. One time, I had a new student, and he was obviously nervous, but I told him "Relax, man, it's just hair! It'll grow back! Slow down, take your time, everything is gonna be alright!" That seemed to do the trick, it ended up being exactly what I wanted. I tipped him $10, and thought he was gonna break down...wait times can be up to an hour on Saturday, arrive early and sign in, you'll be just fine. The instructor bounces around among the students, giving tips and gentle guidance, but by the time they reach "senior" status, they're really quite competent, and it's fun to see them progress from newbie to polished pros. read more

Came because I need a fresh start for my hair, they got it right . My big chop looked so good. The vibe was really chill .

This establishment saves money, and you get a quality haircut.

I went to school at Franklin hands-down one of the best schools. Very reasonable in price and they keep everything professional. Mrs. J is amazing administrator!! Never cut here in my life but after going to school here learned how to fade and do a good lining. Look at the pictures below it tells it all! The before and after is crazy! read more

This salon does an excellent job with relaxing my hair. The staff is really nice and i'm also satisfied with their customer service.

Ok where do I start? At first I had reservations b/c of mixed reviews but has always been a person to follow my own mind. When I got to this school and met the Instructor my game went from 3 to 10! With 10 being the highest. They ensured I learned every aspect of my hair weaving class. The staff was very friendly and always accommodating. I am now proficient in my skills. And can do over and above what I went to learn. A true winner if you're looking to learn your craft. read more

The students here are amazing, they have real skills good prices as well. I've been coming here for a while now, and each time I come I never regret it. It's good to be able to get your hair done with no appointment or short notice because I never know when I want to change it up read more

Horrible!!! When I got to the school, I waited 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. I should have left then. Next, a student came to the front and asked if I knew where Brittney was. 1st of all, I don't know Brittney and I don't where she is. The student then asked what service I wanted done. I told her a shampoo and blow dry. She asked "is your hair already washed?" I should have ran then! I had just told her I WANTED a shampoo and blow dry. Finally I'm sitting in a chair, they lady that detangled my hair used THEE smallest comb and detangled from root to tip! I'm not an expert BUT even I know you're supposed to detangle from tip to root! Hair gets washed, it feels sooo dry. The lady suggests that I use a deep conditioner. I say "okay can you use one?" She says "I don't have one." Ummm... Isn't this a beauty school?!?! Moving on, she proceeds to blow dry my hair using no heat protectant. She didn't even section my hair. She used a paddle brush and blow dried my hair. When I left my hair was still semi wet!! I won't be going back there again! I'll stick to Paul Mitchell and Regency Beauty Institute. read more

Great school. I enrolled in the Cosmo to Barber crossover course so I could learn how to straight razor shaves. I came out of here feeling very comfortable with the razor and performing shaves. The instructors here were all very helpful and professional. Overall, I had a great experience at Franklin and would recommend it to a friend. read more

I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START. 1. The way it operated is like a prison I walked in a sign said you have to be here at 8am. If your 10min late you will be sent home. It's awful. I got there @ 12:56 signed in sat down. 1:56 go by why haven't I been called? "Your name isn't in a ticket" I was pissed off. I waited again. 1:50pm is when they called me. The store closes at 2pm. I advise y'all get there before 1 because when2 hit, There rushing. Now to my issue. The shoved me with a student barber YES STUDENT BARBER. She pushed my edge up back badly. It wasn't even straight. There horrible. I really pray the place go out of business. I don't think that place should be open. Too the way they treat the staff to the way they threw me in with a student barber to speed the process. I hope someone see this and hear my plea DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CUT HERE. The cut is 5$ You Really get what you pay. Horrible customer service. I'm begging y'all to go the extra mile drive down barker cypress and west little York and get your hair cut at razor sharp barbershop. That was my first and last time at franklin. Horrible. My haircut was so bad I had to cut it all off and restart. I've never went bald before but what Franklin did FORCED ME TO GO BALD. read more
