All were good. I am with Peabo Frank now for my first cut. Definitely found my forever hair styles. Peabo is a joyous, Talented artist, fun and uplifting. I am in awe of his masterful talent.

I met Peabo in November of 2021 when I was in the midst of my curly journey. He was very friendly and a great teacher. He spent 4 hours informing me of the best methods to care for my curls. Fast forward to today and he has become my friend and my only stylist. NO ONE else can touch my hair other than Peabo and my wife. I write this review because as my stylist he was my first and only acceptable choice for my wedding this past January 28th, 2023. And, boy, did this man deliver. Starting with the positive energy he brought to groomsmen room, I absolutely loved it and so did my groomsmen. He made sure that my hair had the volume, definition, and shine that it had never had before. He always does amazing work, but I can honestly say it was his best yet. He was also the stylist for one of the bridesmaids, a grooms-woman, and my brother. He brought out my brother's curls for the first time in his life and made them pop so much we did not recognize him. We're beyond grateful for the care you put into making us look amazing on wedding day. During reception, everyone and I mean EVERYONE complemented my hair and told me how much they loved it. Peabo went above and beyond to make sure my hair slayed through all the photos by fixing couple of belligerent curls throughout the day. I danced the night away enjoying my bouncy curls. Peabo, I can only say thank you so much for making my wedding day so memorable. read more

Peabo will change your life! The man is a curl expert and I don't trust anyone else to do my hair. He truly listens to and prioritizes every customer and has a vision. He has been my stylist for the last 2 years and I have followed him to any salon he goes to. He does all of my hair care (cuts, color, and maintenance). During the pandemic, I didn't see him for over a year (from February 2020 to March 2021). I came in with over a year of growth and my roots looked insane. We spent 6+ hours together and he gave me a full transformation. I walked out of there feeling brand new. The before and after pictures truly tell the whole story. I have seen him over 4 times this year and always look forward to the experience! Today my hair looks amazing and it is as healthy as it's ever been, even with all of the color. Peabo takes his work seriously and always does what's best for his customers. Go see him and you won't regret it! read more

Peabo Peabo Peaboooo, I don't even know where to start! But, I guess I should start by saying that I NEVER write reviews. When I met Peabo, there was an instant connection. I have wavy hair (mostly 2c with some 3a curls in there too) and had never had a Devacut before. After Peabo was done with me, I fell in love. Just WOW. 4-5 months later, and I still have so much shape and body in my hair. He walked me through the whole process, told me what to expect, and taught me how to style my hair. He is so talented and thoughtful, and knows exactly what will suit you while also making sure you're comfortable with his recommendations. He will also make sure you are more than happy with your hair and will do whatever he can to make sure of that. More recently, I went in to get a color that he recommended. I'm not going to lie, I was freaking out beforehand since I normally never color my hair, and I AM OBSESSED. I feel so confident and sexy and never thought I would ever go for such a transformation! I am sooooo happy I trusted him and his vision and just went for it - I almost never want to go back to my normal color. As I mentioned previously, he knows how to push your boundaries in a way that also ensures you are comfortable as well, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, especially since I can be the type of person that can play it safe when it comes to my hair. He knows how to pick a style to match your personality - just TRUST him. Also, a random but noteworthy aside, his blow dry's are OUT of this world! So soft, silky, and shiny and they LAST for DAYS! Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend him and you won't regret it - he is INCREDIBLY passionate about hair and style! read more

For those of you who want a quick review, I could not say this more confidently or plainly: If you're a curly girl, Peabo Frank will give you the best haircut of your life. It's a hair revolution-- an empowering experience that will make you fall in love with your hair. Book it. Don't think twice. For those of you who, like me, are particularly anxious, like to waste time on the internet, and need more convincing, I invite you to join me on my hair saga, of which the hero is one Peabo Frank. I have super thick curly hair, that I've long struggled with. It always felt unmanageable to me-- to the point where I kept it in a very short pixie (which I loved) for almost a decade. But, during the pandemic my hair started growing out, and I thought I'd give longer hair another try. My husband suggested that I should search instagram, and see if I could find someone with cuts I like. There, I found Peabo. From our first interaction, I knew that I liked him. He was running a bit late, but was very welcoming. During our first visit, he spoke to me at length about my journey and what I wanted. I showed him photographs of hair that I liked. He told me what my hair would do, and what it wouldn't do. Then, he groomed my hair a bit for a "before" photo-- this struck me as immediately generous. "I won't have my girls looking bad in their before photos" he explained. Then, came the cut. He let me know what shape we were going for, then went through and cut the shape, already the hair was looking fantastic, before he tended to each curl, allowing them to speak and fall where they naturally did. The result? A super natural, chic, low maintenance, and beautiful crown of hair. The second visit was even better. Now I had some length and there was more room to play. I also had a series of questions: how do I sleep with curls? How do I prevent split ends? Should I change up my products? Peabo spent a half hour showing me how to style my hair after I go to sleep when it's dry and not sitting right. He talked me through product choices, and told me where to buy them. He gave me a clip from his own stash when I said I struggle with finding a clip that'll hold my hair in the right place. I realized why Peabo was running late that first time I saw him: for Peabo hair is his living but it is not just about the economic transaction. He cares about the people in his chair. He takes his time to teach you, to make sure that when you go home, you feel empowered to touch and style your hair. Peabo gives you a gift that extends well beyond his chair: the gift of loving your own hair. Peabo can be your companion on your hair journey too. Book him! You won't regret it. read more

Peabo gave me the best haircut I've ever had! I am so thrilled with my hair, and it's all thanks to Peabo! Peabo is a delight to work with. He listened to what I wanted and we talked through how to make it work for my particular hair. He also spent time teaching me new ways to take care of and style my hair. He enthusiastically made sure I knew how to get the most out of my hair. I've had deva cuts before, and thought I already knew a lot about curly hair, but I ended up learning so much more from Peabo! Now my hair always looks it's best! Peabo honestly helped me feel more confident about my hair and my appearance as a whole. He is outstanding at what he does and I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

I've never had my hair - fine, blond and a lot of it -- as curly and cute as when Peabo did his thing. It is unlike other haircuts. Trust is Peabo and you will not be disappointed. read more

We chatted in depth about what I was looking for in a cut, and he walked me through everything he was doing at all times. My hair has never looked so good and I will never be going to another stylist. If you need your curls brought back to life, go to peabo!! read more

Peabo is absolutely amazing! I came to him after getting a horrible haircut from someone who had no idea how to cut curly hair. Peabo was literally the answer to my hair prayers!

He gives you 100% of his attention and you can be assured that he is completely focused on your hair which is hard to find nowadays!!

My hair is healthy, shiny and moisturized again! I will definitely be returning to Peabo when I'm due for a haircut again. Trust me if you have curly hair, you will not be disappointed! read more

I very recently got my hair colored and cut by Peabo, with wonderful results! Before I get into the hair, I'd like to note that visiting Peabo is always a good time. The energy is warm and welcoming, and it felt like talking to a longtime friend. Now onto the hair, I have very curly and delicate hair, and Peabo took his time explaining how to best care for my specific hair type, giving me numerous tips on how to best maintain my hair. The color is exactly what I wanted and I feel so beautiful in it! The cut is amazing, he got rid of all my dead ends and shaped my hair in such a complimentary way. He was incredibly receptive to my wants and corrections, pivoting with a skill only found in a true professional. Peabo is stuck with me forever now, and I highly recommend his services, but ESPECIALLY to my curly haired natural girls. read more

Keyword: EXPERIENCE. This isn't your average hair cut...this is truly an EXPERIENCE. With Peabo, you are not a passive client - he engages you by educating you on not just how but WHY he is doing what he's doing. He asks you questions! You are very much an active participant in your hair care, and you walk out feeling empowered and more knowledgeable. If there is something that you want to do to your hair, he is honest and tells you why it might not work for YOU (based on face shape, hair texture, etc.) and gives you recommendations for things that will work. You can tell that, for Peabo, hair is an extension of our identities. As such, he treats it with the utmost care and is adamant about helping you care for it! Personally, Peabo helped me fall in love with my natural, kinky hair. As a Dominican born and raised in a culture that demonizes my hair type as "bad," I first came to Peabo eager to CUT IT OFF and yet nervous about going out with kinks into the world (my go-to style was twist-outs but was nervous about wash-n-go's). He's taught me to appreciate the different textures, curl patterns, and porosity of my hair. Do yourself a favor and book a cut with him - sit in that chair, and join the Experience! Note: VERY COVID friendly. read more

Hands down one of the best salon experiences I've ever had. From my first email asking about whether to book an appointment or a consultation. The customer service is on point. When I walked in the door I was immediately addressed by Peabo by my name. As if ... he knew I was coming! We spent some time talking about what I wanted and then we got to the business of hair! I watched as he interacted with his other client in the salon. He was attentive, informative and just the nicest person ever. With me the service was exactly the same. Attentive and informative. Gave me a great understanding of my hair. Just a great experience if you were on the fence don't ... just go... you'll love yourself for it ! read more

I got the Devacut from Peabo and I absolutely love it! Before the cut, my 3b curls were flat and dry but Peabo completely remedied that and now my curls have so much more volume and bounce. Peabo is an expert at not only curly hair care and maintenance but also at recognizing each person's individual haircare needs. During the session, I was on the fence about doing the big chop...and I ended up leaving with bangs that frame my face perfectly. In addition to the haircut, the conversation with Peabo added to the overall enjoyability of the appointment. I get so many compliments on my hair and I absolutely love my new look. I will definitely be scheduling another appointment and I highly recommend you do too. read more

My hair is transformed, I was ecstatic during and at the end of the appointment! I learned so much and finally feel I can take care of my hair as it deserves. I haven't had anything done to my hair in 3 years and I'm very thankful to have received the Peabo Frank Experience. Finally found somewhere I feel my hair is looked out for, cared for, and respected. If I could give more stars I would! read more

This has been the best haircut I've ever had on my naturally curly hair. I don't have uniform, well-behaved curls so a cookie-cutter haircut never works for me. Peabo is so attentive and really took his time to get to know my hair, come up with a personalized haircut and teach me about what my hair needed. I walked out of the salon feeling like a new HUMAN. Not only that, but the haircut held up when I styled my hair on my own. Big win. Definitely re-booking for my next cut. read more

I was pretty nervous for my haircut with Peabo because I've had so many bad experiences with stylists not knowing how to deal with curls and cutting my hair too short. But Peabo immediately put me at ease and gave me the best haircut I've ever had!! I loved it so much that I came back with my mom two weeks later so she could get the Peabo Frank treatment too. We both left Peabo feeling so happy and confident rocking our new beautiful curls. He answered all our questions and gave us great advice for styling and maintaining our hair too. Thank you so much, Peabo!! read more

Peabo cut my severely damaged hair and did Pintura highlights for me. I had never properly colored my hair and never had short hair, and was feeling nervous. Peabo guided me through the whole process, showed me how to style my hair and how to take care of it. I am BEYOND happy with the final look and EVERYONE around me has complimented me. I'm literally obsessed with my hair and bought all the products he used in my hair. 10000/10!!!!!!! read more

They call it the Peabo Frank Experience for a reason!! So thankful for my experience today. Peabo took the time to sit down with me, go over my concerns and really help me envision my goals and what could be done for me. My cut was personalized for me from beginning to end. Throughout the cut, i was consulted on the status and told whats next. I was super comfortable and relaxed throughout. My hair line was cared for during styling and I was given great hair tips. I went to Peabo based off a recommendation and can't wait to pass on this absolute gem! THANK YOU #peabodidthat read more

Peabo changed my life! Let me start to when I went to Peabo for my big chop: of course, I was so nervous and sure that I was going to change my mind as soon as I sat in the salon chair, but I walked in and saw a beautiful lady getting her short curly hair reshaped. And then my eyes went to Peabo, his energy automatically gave me all the confidence and reassurance in the world I felt also felt welcomed just as anyone wants to feel going into a salon especially for such a big change. Peabo told me what short cut would look good with my face shape as well as hair type. Since my big chop into a pixie cut, I've had a huge confidence boost, my hair growth is now so so quick, and nonetheless my self love journey began with cutting my hair. The hair journey begans with who cuts/touches/styles your hair and mine started with Peabo, which he knows but I am forever grateful that it was he who did so. read more
