Michael has been cutting my hair for over a decade now. I find coming back to him like going out for a drink with an old friend. His work is exceptional, he's incredibly professional, and lives his life the way he portrays in the shop. A thoughtful and talented man, as long as he is cutting hair that will be the chair I will sit in.

It takes a lot for me to take the time to sit down and write a review, but my experience with Frank E's Barbershop and it's owner Michael are definitely worth the time.  I have traditionally been the guy content with a $20 cut, but my wife pushed me to change up my look and take a chance with a new barber.  Her stylist referred me to Michael and I am extremely thankful for it.  His shop is tucked away on the second floor of a building in downtown Danville and upon entering I immediately noticed how spotlessly clean everything was and the retro decor.  Michael was inviting, friendly, and welcoming.  We got down to business.  It is clear that Michael is both an expert and student of his craft.  We talked about the characteristics of my hair and what cuts would realistically work with it.  This is the first time a barber has ever taken the time to explain this to me and it was immediately apparent that this was going to be more than a simple rush job with clippers and scissors.  We settled on a plan and Michael got to work.  I usually hate "small talk" and dread these conversations with someone I just met, but talking with Michael was both comfortable and easy.  He took his time, got my input as we went along, and I ended up with what is likely the best cut I've ever had.  Michael made sure that the finished product was what I wanted and never balked at any changes I suggested.  The end result was a look that I was happy with and more importantly- that my wife was thrilled by.  I HIGHLY recommend Michael and his shop and feel lucky that I found a true professional to take care of my head!  I'm a customer for life.

Michael is a master at what he does. I went in with the longest my hair has ever been and unsure what I wanted. He started going to work and gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had. If you need a barber, don't even question it go see Michael!

So I've been waiting to write this review, today's date is March 10t 2021. Last time I saw Michael was October 1st, it's been almost 6 months since I've had my last cut with Michael. told him due to the pandemic I don't know when's  the next  time I'll get a haircut and I'm okay with growing it out.. my hair doesn't grow out nicely and Michael explained that depends a lot on the haircut. Michael did an amazing job and my hairy grew out very nicely! It has never grown out like this. I'm seeing Michael tomorrow and I'm excited to see what he will do next . I FULLY trust Michael with my hair. You should too.

Michael is a tremendous barber, and also a tremendous human that saved me a few days before my wedding. When my usual barber couldn't schedule me in, I scoured Yelp for a barber located anywhere in NorCal (I live in Tracy) that I could trust my wedding haircut to, despite not having my hair cut by them prior. Michael had tons of positive reviews (Justifiably so), so he was my top choice. I left a VM letting him know my situation, and he called back within about 2 hours. He let me know that he was all booked up, but that he could stay open an extra hour to accommodate me. I am grateful there are people in the world like Michael. Most importantly, my haircut was perfect for my wedding.

Just sit down and let Michael use his talents to cut your hair right. He knows exactly what he's doing and you'll leave looking and feeling good. Couldn't be happier that I found this gem.

Michael gave me the best haircut ever. Will def come again and he knows what he is doing! Consummate professional.

I'm new to the area and feel lucky to have found Michael despite COVID. His other Yelp reviews were great and they were very accurate. Michael is great, his shop has a great vibe, and above all, i got a great haircut. I loved being able to book online. I'll definitely be back and plan on getting my young son in to see him as well. Happy to support Michael and this great small business!

Part 1: Until I met Michael I had never had a haircut I liked. That is not an exaggeration. My hair is thick, difficult to control, and used to quickly become the shape of a triangle. My first visit with Michael he was excited to cut my hair, quickly described a cut to suit my face shape, and gave me a haircut that looked great, was easy to maintain, and stayed manageable long after my visit. Frank E's is not a cut by numbers kind of place. Michael takes the time to get to know you and compose a cut to suit your unique features. H takes pride in what he does and goes out of his way to deliver a high end service. His place has a throw back vibe down to the hot towel and straight razor. You feel pampered and taken care of throughout. Michael is always classy, witty, and down to talk at length about any topic, big or small. Never do I have to sit through an awkward silence or suffer through inane small talk. I will never seek out another stylist, and neither should you. I (and my wife) are so thankful for Frank E's and Michael! Part 2: I've never posted a part two to a review, but Michael deserves it. Yelp, if you're reading this please grant an exception so I can give Frank E's a 6th star! Michael is a cut above most people out there, which is even more important in times like these. I was worried that my wife and I would have to watch my hair slowly expand to engulf my head. In desperation I got in touch with Michael. Not only did he recommend equipment for me to use, but he took time out of his evening to walk me through cutting my own hair, all while chit chatting over a glass of grade A spirits. If you're looking for an experience, and a fantastic cut, stick with Frank E's! Make an appointment once things are clear, but do what you can to support a fantastic small business now!

My husband has been coming here to see Michael for a while now and he never disappoints! We took our son in to see and let me tell you, he has his work cut out for him and wow! He did a fantastic job!! Highly recommend Michael if your in a need of a great cut!
