Artisans Edge barbershop is more than a haircut, its an experience. Ive been loyal to Frank for over 15years. His attention to detail is unrivaled! From the antique barbershop decor, you feel the exclusivity. By appointment only says it all, its truly a special experience. Thanks Frank for your years of great service.

Frank is a meticulous surgeon with scissors. He is by far the best barber in Tampa, and probably the entire state. If you are able to secure an appointment with Frank you are in for a treat, and it is well worth the price. You need his business, he does not need yours. Cheers

Id like to address the reviews thus far given to Frank, the owner of Artisans Edge.To start, it goes without saying that Frank is a classic Master Barber, and shows the utmost care in giving both haircuts and shaves. He trained under his father in Cuba, and...once youre in, runs his shop exactly how a classic barber shop should be run.That being said, things are very black and white with Frank. He is the only barber in the shop, so when he is shaving or cutting a clients hair, he wants to give his full attention to the task at hand. He also deals with many beggars and homeless people that try to make their way into the shop, which is why he keeps it locked. If you want an appointment...call the number, and expect to wait. Take the appointment 3 weeks out, its worth it.On that note, if you miss an appointment, realize youre costing him the price of the cut (as he doesnt take walk ins). The barbershop is Franks life...he pours his all into it. Frank works his ass off to support both his wife and aging mother in Cuba.Hes the best barber in Tampa. Its that simple. Youll have to follow his rules, and you may have to wait to get an appointment...but I strongly recommend being patient because the experience is worth the wait.

When I moved from Manhattan last year I was in need of barber. I was lucky my girlfriend suggested Artisans Edge because of the great reviews it had and how close it was to my work downtown. I can say this without any uncertainty, that Frank is the best barber I have ever had. When you book an appointment with Frank, you are the only other person in the barbershop with him. He spends close to a full hour making sure your haircut is perfect, while also making great conversation. If you get a haircut from here, you will not be disappointed. I consider Frank not only my barber now, but my friend.

Ive been getting my hair cut at Franks since he opened up shop 7 years ago, hes the best in Tampa Bay hands down. He has a large and loyal client base, so book your appointment in advance. Theres no one else in the area Id trust at this point. If youre looking for a barber, I would very highly recommend Frank.

This is the best barber around. The business name is accurate, Frank is a true artist. In a day where everything is fast and cheap, be reminded, you get what you pay for. To get a haircut here is a gentlemans experience, from the hot towel to the straight edge shave and everything in between. You show up at your scheduled time, are brought in to the shop, where you are the only client. There is 100% attention given to your haircut and it shows. I called for an appointment before my daughters wedding and every time I look at the photos, I am thankful for the haircut I received from Frank. Hell make you look good.

Very thankful I was recommended to visit Frank. I wouldn’t consider myself overly picky but having worked with some great barbers while living in other areas of the country certainly know what a good haircut does/doesn’t look like. After bouncing around several places once I moved to Tampa, it was clear after the first cut that Artisan’s Edge would be my new home. Highly recommend this barber, it’s a great experience as well.

Frank is excellent at what he does. He takes a picture of the haircut after you’re satisfied with it and saves it to your number, so when you come back it’s consistent every. single. time.He’s an old school dude, so I can see how some of these reviews make him out to be rude. But he does have a lot of clients and he is the most respectful person to you once you get your haircut. When I first started going to him (2012) I had a similar experience, I called in expecting a same day appt. and he was firm on the phone and gave me one 2-3 weeks out. Was nervous about it because we all expect the white glove service all the time. But once I went in everything was for the best. This old wood decor, to old school classic music, to his tuxedo that is never out of place. He is a true professional.Listen to all the 5 star reviews take his Cuban hard working attitude with a grain of salt and relax a bit. Once you’re in you’ll love every time you go in. As for the price... go somewhere else and get 1 bad haircut for $12 and tell me how you feel. He’s a master barber and deserves every penny. You’re the man Frank!

Just as the majority of reviews have stated.... Frank is the best Barber in Tampa, probably in Florida. On top of that he runs a very authentic classic shop. I highly recommend making an appointment with him and enjoying a great haircut, his cool personality and a very high end experience at a reasonable price.

I have been going to Frank at Artisans Edge for about 2 years. I had been to a couple of barbers in Tampa since i moved in the year prior, but they were always hit and miss, which made me seek out a barber of higher quality which led me to Artisans Edge. It is a one man operation and by appointment, and it is popular so you may need to plan a few days ahead of time to garner an appointment. I had been getting the same basic fade for a while and just tonight decided to have something new, whereby Frank gave me a brand new haircut and style that was so good i texted him when i got home to tell him how happy i was with it, which led me to write this review. I strongly recommend this barber as top shelf quality and the best in Tampa.

The best haircut I have received since I moved to Florida in 2002. The owner, Frank, is a gentleman and a true old world barber with an excellent eye and fantastic skills. A truly great barbershop.

Outstanding!First off, Frank is a busy guy so he has to have a system for serving his clients. The drop in works about as well as it would at a popular restaurant.Give him a call, show up on time, let him know want you want, and sit back and prepare for the finest haircut you will ever have. No kidding, hes an artist - its the best.

Let me start off by saying this is not your ordinary barber shop, frank handles your hair with percision as if he was a sergeant, hes by far the best barber in town hands down. Not to mention hes a funny guy that will keep you cracking up then at the split of a second drop some real knowledge. If your looking for the old school feel of exclusivity and elegance this place is for you. The only problem is after you come here you will be disappointed anytime you get a haircut somewhere else !

Frank is the best barber I have been to in Tampa. I have been looking for a decent place to get a haircut for over a year. Dont bother going to the mall to get your haircut, unless you dont care how it looks. I will only give my business to Frank.

This babershop is an experience with the utmost highest level of class you can obtain. Frank gives you his closest attention and detail when you are in his chair. You get the feeling of exclusivity in his barbershop and handled with patience. If you are looking for a quick barber to rush you in and out this is not the place for you. The haircuts are damn perfect everytime and this man works wonders with his scissors and blade. Sadly for you or anyone who does not have the patience for an appointment with this master barber does not deserve a spot in his chair. He is extremely loyal to his clients (hence the reason he waited for me and didnt take a walk-in) and hands down the best barber I have ever been to. I have been going to Frank for about 5 years and refuse to take my business anywhere else if that says anything about the level of satisfaction I have with this master barber.

Great place, true Barber experience and customer service. I would recommended Artisans to anyone no matter what type of hair style you have. Frank is a master Barber and someone you will want to go back to over and over again.

Frank is amazing! I have been going there for years. He is always on time and making appointments is easy. He is truly a master barber.

Today is the first time I have been to see Frank and I do not plan on taking my business anywhere else. I have been looking for someone like him for quite some time. The haircut and experience is worth much more than what he actually charges. I feel honored to be his client.Thanks Frank

I made an appointment with Frank for a straight edge shave and a haircut, and he did an amazing job. Best haircut I have ever gotten. Would definitely recommend, well worth the price.

I love a very unique and historic, full-service barbershop. Frank did a great job and was a very pleasant experience.

Best haircut Ive had in a long time. This guy is a master with his blades and clippers. You may have to wait if you go later in the day because its so popular, but trust me, its wort it.

He does a great job when he cuts my husbands hair!

Review 29 (2016-06-05 - Rating: 5)
If you are looking for a last-minute, walk-in, average haircut experience, dont go to Artisans Edge. If you are looking for a barber who you can depend upon for a top quality haircut and friendship for years on end, call Frank a week or two in advance and make an appointment--you will not be disappointed. Frank pours 100% of his attention and effort into each client during their scheduled appointments. To some who try to walk in, this may seem rude...but this is what you want if you are in the chair with a Master Barber like Frank. He creates an atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy a classic barber shop experience, which is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Frank is not only impressive to watch as a barber, but he is also a man I consider a personal friend after having him cut my hair for the past three years. I trusted him to cut and style my hair on my wedding day--along with all my groomsmen. I have lived all over the country and traveled across 5 continents--Frank is the best barber I have ever encountered through all of my travels. He is a world class professional.
