Cancelled appointment with no warning and did not care for cancellation. I had good experience before, which is why I rebooked here.

This is without a doubt the best barber shop in the city. Located in the heart of Lawrenceville It is right at the epicenter of everything cool in the city of Pittsburgh. read more

I had an extremely uncomfortable experience with Jess. Her tone was incredibly condescending and rude, and she was EXTREMELY dismissive, disrespectful, unprofessional, and visibly unpleasant/hostile. I was literally shocked as it came out of nowhere and this was my first time ever meeting this person. What should have been a simple haircut turned into a tense and uncomfortable interaction. Customer service and basic respect matter, and this fell far short of that. I've worked in customer service over 10 years and never experienced this. After reading SEVERAL other reviews describing similar behavior from this same person, Jess, it's clear this is not an isolated experience, which only reinforces that I'm not imagining how inappropriate this interaction felt. A salon appointment should never leave someone feeling talked down to or unwelcome. I will never be returning and would never recommend her or this establishment to anyone. read more

Without a doubt best barbershop in the city. Always a great experience with great people. Nick always gets you right.

I've been going here for over 10 years - Zach D is the best barber in the game! And I love that you get a drink with your cut

I tried so hard but the barber just didn't know how to connect with clients. It was super expensive. When a client in the chair across from me asked me a question, the owner (who was cutting his hair) whispered into the clients ear. I asked the guy to repeat himself... he just swatted me away in the air. That was pretty rude. I'll keep looking for a place that fits. read more

Nice people but overpriced for the haircut. You are paying for the hipster ambiance and not the quality of the cut. I was charged $35 and my neck was even lined up read more

After over 5 months with no haircut I was looking a lot like a savage. My wife was not happy as well as my daughters and even mom got in on the what's going on with hair. My stylist for the last 3 years has not yet reopened due to covid. My son has been going to Mister Grooming for about 3 years and loves them. I decided to give them a shot. I made an appointment and on the day of the appointment i got there early. The shop is pretty busy and they follow the covid protocols very well. My appointment was with Jessica who was very nice and friendly and did a great job on my caveman length hair. I will definitely go back to Mister Grooming again. If you are in the need of a good haircut I recommend Mister Grooming. Also for me a double perk is that they are next door to a v3 pizza which I love. read more

Excellent cut! Great vibe! I had multiple cuts with Jason, and am satisfied every time. Everyone was so nice! They also have other services and products, but I have not tried them! read more

Visited here today for the first time to get a full service shave, a steal at $25 with a trim and straight razor cleanup with hot towels. More than a shave, I needed a brand new beard carved out of the overgrowth on my face. I knew that for setting the initial shape of my new beard, I wanted to seek out the steady hand of a highly talented and experienced barber. After soliciting suggestions and reading copious reviews, I ended up at Mister Grooming. I had the good fortune of having Jenn Beers doing the shave, and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Despite myself arriving a few minutes late, she never for a moment rushed through the delicate and painstaking process of going over what I wanted (including a patient review of photos), treating the skin with hot towels, pretrimming, and finally shaving and aftershave. Jenn's attention to detail was exactly what you would expect from a master barber with dedication to the craft. She took great care in setting each line and each angle in my new beard, tending to each element from the proper position and approach. She paid attention to the curves and shape of my face and gave me the shave I asked for, but in an application that highlighted my features (and let the beard obscure the less attractive parts). No cuts or nicks, of course. Her steady hand and firm skullcap grip convey the confidence of expertise. The products they used were excellent. The cream provided an excellent glide and the scent, which paired well with the aftershave I can still smell as I write this, is masculine, woodsy, and one I have enjoyed all morning. Not too oily, but provides enough moisture to nourish your face through a Pittsburgh winter. If I had one complaint, and it is a very, very nitpicky complaint, it would be that they didn't heat the cream; instead using a hot towel to heat it up after it is applied to the face. This works, but I prefer the feeling of the application of heated shaving cream. No big deal. If you are looking to set a beard, or just an excellent straight razor shave, I recommend Jenn Beers at Mister Grooming. I'll be back - and on time, next time. read more

MSTR - New beard by Jenn Beers - Barbers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I really enjoyed the experience. Nick did a great job cutting my hair. I went because I wanted to do something different with my cut. I made another appointment. The staff seemed courteous and professional. read more

Way overpriced!! Secondly, I waited 20 minutes after my appointment time for my barber to be available. When I was running late for an appointment they did not extend to me the same courtesy. Unprofessional!! read more

I've been coming to Mister for over 2 years now, I have gone to lots of other barbers, stylists, etc, and Mister G&G is by far my favorite. Ali or Zack Dean are my go to, they have never let me down. They give you a classic cut with a modern look, or whatever you want. The environment is super laid back and fun. I always enjoy being here for however long it may be. When you are seated they ask if you want a drink, they have beer, water, and I believe they even have scotch or whiskey these days. The price for the cut you get is very reasonable compared to several other shops I've been to, and I'll continue to come back to Mister to get my hair and beard trimmed up. read more

Since my original review, my barber is no longer at this location. So I do not know any other Queer friendly barbers at this location and cannot say if the shop is friendly. Onto the review: You'll want to call ahead, like before you even need a haircut. Every time I call to schedule an appointment, they are booked for 7-10 days. One star for the complimentary drink, better chug your espresso if you don't want to drink the hairs that are about to fall in. Everyone gets the same hipster haircut: bald back and sides, with a little on top. Don't worry, you can tell everyone apart by the amount of mustache wax they use. If you have curly or coily hair, talk to your barber first! Every time I've gone in each client has had straight or nearly straight hair. I'm not sure if that was by coincidence or if that hair texture is their specialty. read more

For probably 8 years I've been hopping barbers. Every haircut was done by someone new and I felt like I couldn't find a decent haircut. I recently moved to Pittsburgh and Nick has cut my hair twice. Arguably the best haircuts I've ever had! I am so glad I found a barber so soon. These are good people, they're great with appointments and they have all the amenities. Thanks Nick read more

Tonight was my first time going to MG&G and Devan cut my hair. She was awesome! She is new to the team and I hope she is there to stay. Friendly, funny and gave me a cut just how I wanted! She faded up by beard nice even though I did a terrible job explaining how I wanted it. 5 Stars! read more

I've been here a few times. I have yet to have a positive experience. The staff since personable with other customers, but the lady that was cutting my hair it was nice. It also seems a little overpriced for a 10 minute haircut. read more

Mister Grooming & Goods is hands down the BEST barber shop I've ever been to. It is a classy yet chill place where the staff treat you like family, and the cuts are great. The only reason I haven't been back is because I moved from Pittsburgh- and even then, I've honestly considered driving the 5 hours to sit in Zack Dean's chair. In addition to the service, the men's grooming products are top notch and available in a wide variety. Book an appointment in well in advance because these Barbers are in high demand! read more

Hard to not give this new joint 5 stars. First, the cut itself: solid. My hair situation isn't complicated, but Michael is a true professional - lots of questions about how I like it to look: length, product, geometry, how long it's been since my last cut, etc. Second, the experience: interesting, friendly, and definitely very cool. The space itself is super interesting - it looks like it should be the set of a TLC tv show called 'pittsburgh cutters' or something. Lots of art, kitschy stuff on the walls, awesome set up. You can even have a beer while you wait. Michael was also super friendly and chatty. Hoping that this venture is a success because I'd definitely like to come back! read more

MSTR - Inside the shop - Barbers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not your Dad's barber shop! 5 star all the way for this hip establishment. When you enter you'll be met with an eclectic array of decor and a drink of your choice (coffee, espresso, bourbon or a beer). I've had haircuts by the owner Michael as well as Will and Nick. All great cuts reasonably priced considering the care of the cut. If you have a beard, they can trim it or get an entire shave. All necks shaved after enjoying a nice warm cloth. I like this place so much I drive in from the North Hills just to get a cut. read more

I am traveling from CA in town for the week. Found this place on Yelp and MANNNNN I loved it!!! Awesome atmosphere great customer service. And as far as the cut goes. Well I'm loyal to my barber back home but I didn't feel guilty at all. Amazing cut! Not to mention I was welcome with being offered a wide variety of drinks. If I ever come back to the Pitt area I will purposely wait to get my hair cut just to visit this place again read more

I've come here twice since moving to Pittsburgh. The first time with Ali I told her to do whatever she wanted (I'm notoriously bad with haircut directions) and I thought it was the best haircut I'd ever had. Then I went again, tried to get Ali but she was booked-got Zach instead. That became the best haircut I've ever had. Really I assume they know all what they're doing and you can't get a bad person there. Not to mention both trimmed my beard down far better than I ever could. Hands down the best place to get your haircut in the area. I'd gone to other places but now drive out of my way to head here. The amenities and ambience are also great, but I went for a good haircut-and I got it (twice). read more

Great place to get spiffed up with a fresh cut! My son and I've been here for several cuts with Jason. He's done well for us both each time. Best looking cuts I've ever had. Very friendly service from both him and Hannah. Funny sense of humor too. The place has a nice vibe and lots of funny and cool stuff on the walls, so there's no shortage of things to look at while getting your trim. Good variety of music too. Highly recommend booking with Jason at Mister G&G! read more

Mister G&G is the best place to get a men's cut in the city. Niles has been cutting my hair for a couple of years and is always attentive to my ideas and knows how to get it done. The shop has a good vibe and parking is always plentiful if you're not local. Can't recommend them enough, just make sure you book ahead of time. read more

For years, I've always just cut my own hair. Throw a "2" on my clippers and give myself a buzz cut. It was simple, easy, cheap, and convenient. I've been to a variety of different hair stylists and barbers throughout my life. I've never been overly satisfied with any barber or stylist before in my life, except for when I started to go to Mister Grooming and Goods. Back in October, I decided I was ready for a change in style. After lots of research on Pittsburgh barbershops, I decided to give Mister a try. I called up on a Monday afternoon and I was able to go in later that night. I will never go to another barber shop as long as I am living in Pittsburgh. I love that every time I walk through the door for a haircut, I am pleasantly greeted and offered a drink. Who can say no to a bourbon. The vibe and atmosphere inside is super chill and laid back. Ali is amazing and works wonders with my hair, especially with all of the cowlicks that I have. The price is very reasonable; $24+ tip for the best haircut you'll ever get. Make sure you make your appointment in advance, as the openings tend to fill up very quickly. read more

Didn't disappoint and Ali was well worth the weeks I had to wait to get in for a cut. If I wasn't here just for work I would never need to find another place. It didn't hurt to have a great cut from a beautiful girl either just don't mistaken her for a Polynesian she Italian . read more

Finally, Pittsburgh has a quality barbershop!!! Mister Grooming & Goods offers more than just your standard high and tight hair cut. Micheal gives a high quality, stylish hair cut as well as offering suggestions and tips on how to style your hair, what products to use, etc. On my last visit I got the best haircut I've gotten in the 5 years I've lived in Pittsburgh. The overall atmosphere is really fun. Micheal and Alli are happy to chat with you, the walls are covered in unique artwork, there are a few televisions with the game on, and they even offer you a beer while you wait. What more could you want? Hair cuts are $15, calling ahead for an appointment is recommended, they actually said you can text them to check on open times, and the hours are very reasonable. After bouncing around from barber to barber for years, I can say with certainty that I've found the place for me. read more

I am relatively new to town and after being disappointed at two other salons I finally found mister grooming via yelp. I had long (awesome long) hair for the last 4-6 years. I'm a professional artists and my hair was part of my image, not to mention... you just get attached to it, so parting with it was a nerve wracking decision. But it was time. So, I went in not really knowing what I wanted or what to expect. everyone in the building, the staff and the customers were all super fun, relaxed and made me feel comfortable about the big move. The hair cut is great and I've been getting awesome compliments all day. So... good atmosphere, great people, stylish and professional cuts, hip, AND... best part... only $20?! Where I'm from a good hair cut that only costs $20 is a no brainer. One satisfied customer here. will be back again for sure. Ohh, and MJ was my barber. good guy, knew what he was doing and super nice. But from what I saw I think everyone there is very good. read more

Ali was not personable at all. Didn't provide any guidance even after I told her this was my first visit. The appointment lasted 15 minutes or less. Ali went way too fast. I came home to find multiple hairs around my ears on both sides and neck that she missed. Will not be returning. read more

Do you need a haircut to out shine the groom on his big wedding day? Do you need that trim to steal the heart of the prom queen, and make her jealous for not being your date to the big dance at your highschool reunion? Do you need the necessary product to tame that wild beard and those sick sideburns for your son's bar mitzvah? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER! The fine people at Mr. Grooming and Goods has your back! They've got the style you're looking for, and all the product you could ever need to make even the ugliest people (such as my self), into a confident, mature looking individual, and give you the style that will make all the lady's swipe right on tinder for you! What more do I need to say? Go get a haircut today! (That rhymes) read more

Got my first haircut by Niles I couldn't have asked for better results I absolutely love it! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone everyone is super friendly and it was a great environment! read more

Great hip place...they are the only people I trust with my beard...I'm going there today to have them make me look sexy for my interview...well they're not miracle workers, but my beard has become ratty...great beard oils too...they are the ones who got me on suavacito...it is a gel for the pompadour hairstyle but good for curling the mustache read more

MSTR - Barbers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I started going to Mister right after it opened in 2013. I had been without a barber for quite some time, bouncing around to random shops, friends, and whatnot. When Mister moved into the neighborhood, I gave it a shot. It's now six years later and I'd never consider going anywhere else in the burgh. Michael was always my regular barber, and he's a maestro. The man has magic hands. I really don't know how he does it. Every time. I can't speak highly enough of him and his skills. Sometimes when I couldn't get in to see Michael, I got haircuts from other barbers in the shop, and I've never gotten a bad cut from any of them. In fact, I'd say I've gotten nothing but great cuts each time I've been here, and that's six years' worth. All of the barbers are super skilled, attentive, and responsive to customer requests. They've kept me looking extremely sharp these past six years, and I really learned the importance of a great haircut from Mister. I've never received so many compliments before in my life. You really never know how average your old haircuts were until people start telling you how good you look now. You get what you pay for and more here. Plus, everyone is extremely friendly and their customer service is the best. Anytime you have an issue with an appointment, they go above and beyond to work with you. Just recently, I messed up the dates for my cut in my calendar and had to miss my appointment. It was my fault. I had a wedding coming up, and I wanted to get a cut beforehand. No worries. Shelsi and Michael worked quickly to get me in the next available spot. Couldn't ask for more. Beyond looking sharp, the people at Mister became my barbershop family. In today's day and age, it's rare to develop bonds with businesses, but Mister is the rare exception. Michael and the crew at Grooming know me and what's going on in my life better than a lot of my friends do. Getting a haircut here is like stopping by to see old friends. It's a priceless experience. Unfortunately, I'm moving away from Pittsburgh, but I'll always cherish my time at Mister. And any time I'm back in Pittsburgh, I'll be making an appointment for a haircut in advance. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and neither should you. Thank you, Mister, for all the great cuts. read more

I moved to Pitt. a couple of months ago, and was in need of a new place. After looking over yelp, this is where I landed and the reviewers were spot on. The whole crew is inviting, prices are good, and Michael (one of the owners) is great at what he does -- I am sure everyone else is, too, but I've been going back to him whenever I go. I always get a great haircut and conversation when I go in every 3 weeks or so, and I've sent anyone who will listen their way. You'll want to be sure to get an appointment, especially on the weekends, but you will leave there feeling good and looking as good as you can (whether that results in looking model-like or a like someone who wishes that the "husky-boy" section at Sears still existed to make shopping easier, like me, I can't say). read more

Stylist Reggie performed her meticulous art with great attention to every follicle was very impressed

Following a recommendation from a co-worker, I ushered my husband to Mister Grooming & Goods for a long overdue haircut. From the moment we set foot in the building, Michael and Allie were incredibly welcoming and genuinely hospitable. We were immediately offered a beverage, and my husband whisked off to the barber's chair. I was very impressed by Michael's attentiveness, consulting with my husband about his grooming routine, and styling preferences before picking up his shears. He even invited me over to take a few photos to post to Instagram (yeah, I am THAT person) and what hash tag to use. We were both incredibly pleased with the haircut, and will certainly be returning again. I would urge any male in Pittsburgh to swing by Lawrenceville and check out Mister G&G. They are skilled, professional, sincere and their very well-articulated branding is the personification of 'swag'. read more

I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday with a quick phone call just a few days in advance. I was immediately greeted and asked if I'd like something to drink and felt very welcomed. MJ cut my hair perfectly and then washed and styled it. As someone who has gone to Dan Cercone's barbershop a bunch of times I feel like Mister Grooming & Goods does a great job of being a barbershop with enough extras to leave you way more satisfied. Basically, they do a great job of meeting somewhere in the middle of a barbershop and a salon--something that I think most guys will appreciate. read more

I started coming here back in early June as I just moved here from Chicago. I was recommended to come here from a co-worker. I was not steered wrong. When you walk in, you are greeted warmly by both the staff and decor. Everyone is just so friendly and welcoming. Zach is my barber and is great. He gives consistent hair cuts and always is good at recommending product. I only tried one barber shop when I moved and it was this one and have been coming ever since. You can get a haircut anywhere but if you want to have a great experience from great barbers, this is the only place to call your home. read more

Taking a break from reviewing restaurants for once. Even fat kids need to shake it up a bit. Let the image of the Truffle Shuffle pass. I'll wait. Done? Here we go then. I first found Mike and the gang through my friend. Mike had been his barber for years before setting out on his own. I was in need of a cut so I took the tip and called down. The woman on the phone was personal and professional. While their website features a picture stating walkins were welcome, I was politely informed that appointments were required. Ok. I get being busy and to the point where you can't accommodate any joe off the street but maybe update your website then. Either wY I got an appointment and went down a few days later. When I walked in I was very impressed with the space. It's bright and warm with a mix of old furniture and punk rockish signs and hangers on the wall. Slightly hipster but not enough to be pretentious. This is very difficult to pull off so kudos. The girl at the front desk greeted me with a warm smile and a choice of coffee, water or beer. She didn't even judge me for going with beer at 11 AM (I had a long night ok?). The actual cut was a pleasant experience as well. The guys and girls working are funny and personable but are quite capable of cutting in quiet. Every time I leave I always leave looking great (at least the top half of my head does). With all this raving you might ask why I stop just short of a perfect score. For me perfection is something you need to hit to get the score. A couple things keep them at a 4. First would be the website I covered earlier. Second would be the fact that I can never seem to be able to get a straight shave. Every time I try to book one I am told the day is too booked and to see if there is an opening after my appointment, but of course there never is. Maybe I just don't like artificially inflated hopes. The final thing would be the price. Personally I feel they are a little on the high side but not to the point that they keep me away. All in all I like Mister. The cuts a crisp and clear at a relatively decent price. I have no plans on finding another barber any time soon. read more

Fantastic first experience here with a great cut from Niles. A little nervous as I am remarkably not hip and this place is VERY hip-picture young professionals, lots of tattoos, fashion forward dress and of course great hair on all of the employees- but was met with respect all around and a friendly welcoming experience. Would highly recommend for all women with short hair. read more
