About us

Frankie’s Story

I’m Frankie the Barberella, the proud owner of Frankie’s Barbershop and Chesterton’s very own Barberella.  With over 6 years of experience in the industry, I’ve honed my skills to deliver precision cuts specific to what the customer asks for. My passion for barbering began when, feeling lost in career choices that would stifle my creative abilities, I was encouraged by a friend to go to barber school. I fell in love and the rest is history.

I specialize in classic haircuts, modern haircuts, textured haircuts, longer haircuts, specialty cuts, ethnic and curly haircuts. Each haircut is  like art to me and will be treated as such based on each individual’s comments during consultation.

As a third generation Chesterton native, owning my own business in my hometown has been a dream come true. Chesterton and the rest of The Region are part of who I am, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to our vibrant community. 

 

What’s a Barberella?

Barberella.  Lady Barber.  Barberette. Diving into a male-dominated industry, a barberella is empowered to show her strength, character, and independence in the barbering world!  Whichever term you prefer, you can count on a modern approach to perfecting traditionally male hairstyles with a female touch.

Testimonials

"Just like the other reviewer I had been struggling to find a barber that I liked since moving to the area. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a great cut. Not only is the haircut great but Olivia’s space is clean and organized, and she is very personable which is clutch. I will be going to Olivia as long as she willing to put up with my mop head."

"Olivia is excellent! Our first time here a month ago we didn't know we had to make a reservation, but she still stayed open past closing time and took my son! He was extremely happy when we left with the outcome. Today is our second visit with both of my sons. She is exceptional. She listens to them, takes her time, cares, and really knows her stuff!!!! I think we finally found our spot! If you're thinking about coming, do it!!! You won't be sorry!"
