The history of the barber goes back along time. The history of the barber is connected to the history of the Union. The union looks out for the worker. Barbers and Unions share the same responsibility of mentoring and apprenticeships. Teaching skills and raising tradesmen (and women) Even if you are not pro union I hope you appreciate and understand its connection to our trade. #frankiethemick #workingclassbarber #thebarbercollective #iaff #unions #barbershop #barberhistory #unionbarbershop #iatse #azaflcio (at Floyd's 99 Barbershop)

Your success and growth has nothing to do with the dude in the chair next to you. Has nothing to do with the guy tattooing in the station across the shop. It is better to be your own worse critic then to be so concerned about what other people think or say about you and your work! Takes more WORK to compete with yourself then to compete with those around you. But takes more of your ENERGY worrying about other people think and trying to keep up with other people. #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #barber #barbershop #sailorjerry #normancollins #tattoos #traditional #americantattoo #motivationalmonday #pMA #workhard #stayhumble (at Chandler, Arizona)

T-Outliner, 6.75 inch shear, 44/20 taper shear and 14T for the entire haircut. ....Sometimes it is good to put the clippers down. #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #barber #barbershop #andisnation #hanzonation #mensgrooming #texture #hanashiaru #pma #knowyourtools #loyalty (at Public Image)

Ed Roth may be the most influential man in car/hot rod culture. He changed the way not only cars were getting painted, stripped but more importantly built. Having influence on an industry let alone an entire culture means you have something that people need and want. If you can strip away the bullshit and still have the kind of influence a man like “Big Daddy” had (and still has) then you are doing something right. Are you giving people that they want....Or need! Is your influence going to cross a generation like Ed Roth did. #frankiethemick #workingclassbarber #barber #barbershop #wierdowednesday #influence #carculture (at Chandler, Arizona)

Weddings always make me take an account of how lucky and grateful I am for my wife. In July @slickitten and I have been married 22 years and the truth is we still like each other...:guess what? That’s half the battle of marriage! #frankiethemick #slickitten #trueromance #yoursocool #gratitude

While the wife is over at the hotel taking care of the brides party I was able to take care of @pmurph61 over at the house. A quick shave before they get ready for the wedding! #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #thegroomsmancollective #mensgrooming #weddingday

Just a kid getting a haircut for his birthday.....I like it when guys tell me not to mess with the part or hairline (as this young man did). It means they pay attention to how it grows out! #Frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #thecardinalbrand #icarus #barber #mensgrooming #gq #esquire #barbershop (at Benihana)

...“reality is that you’ll work twice as hard, all day, every day.” I love what I do. So if it means I sit on my phone/tablet, work a shit ton of days, see what other people are doing that I can learn from until I figure it all out to get to the next level, guess what that is what I am going to do. I love what I do so I am gonna keep going! #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #strategy #motivation #barber #barbershop #azbarber #workhard #phxbarber #PMA (at Roosevelt Row Arts District)

Just like tattoo artist have a style, roots and their own individual background and history.....I believe the same holds true for barbers. Knowing that people are choosing to come to me means they appreciate my work and how I do my job and that is the way it should be.

I do not repost other people’s work very often because it’s not mine...no matter how dope the image is or I respect the stylist/barber. The thing is when I do I make sure people know who shot it,cut it and styled it.....Because it is the right thing to do! To all the barbers and stylist creating amazing content I appreciate it. #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #workingclassbarber #thisbarberlife #barber #socialmediaproblems #freebooting #dotherightthing

Sometimes you need to look at where you came from. Dig deep down into those roots so you can find a way to keep moving forward. For me hardcore are those roots.....It makes sense that dudes in hardcore become barbers or just go into the hair industry period! #frankiethemick #thebarbercollective #workingclassbarber #barber #barbershop #thisbarberlife #hardcore #eastcoasthardcore #westcoasthardcore #barbersworldwide #pma #dontforgetyourroots #loyalty (at Chandler, Arizona)
