Looking for a new place to get my hair cut, I decided to try Mister after a couple of friends recommended it to me. I was not disappointed. Probably the only negative criticism I could level at this place is that if you need a cut on the quick, they may not be able to accommodate you. You'll definitely want to call ahead to secure a time slot on the weekend; I called toward the beginning of the weekday, looking for a Saturday or Sunday appointment, only to find that they were already booked solid. I ended up with an appointment for the following weekend. The overall experience was quite pleasant. They lady at the front desk was gracious, and offered me a drink while I waited. My appointment was in the morning, so coffee and other beverages were offered rather than the beer that is apparently available later in the day. Everyone working there was quite friendly, chatty with their customers, but even more chatty with each other while they worked. There was a friendly, casual vibe that made the affair more relaxing than the experiences I've had in chain haircut establishments. I asked for a basic, no-frills "just make it shorter" haircut, that wouldn't require any product to maintain, and that is exactly what I received. I've gotten compliments on the cut. In no way, shape or form did I test the upper limits of my stylist's craft, but it is nice to see that you don't need to be trying out for a boy-band to make this place worth your while. The cost for a basic trim was $15 (not including tip). Definitely worth it. I will be coming back. read more

Best barber for men in town, easily. Michael and his crew are talented, laid back, and actually cool to hang out with. Going to Mister is like hanging out with your buddies, but you also have your haircut when you leave, so that's awesome. Go here. read more

Best cut in the Burgh! Hands down the best. MJ was awesome, and the whole atmosphere was great. Beer in hand, clean cut, fun conversation, can't ask for more. read more

MSTR - #mrgg - Barbers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is the best haircut I've had in the four years I've been living in Pittsburgh. It was super reasonably priced at $15, and they gave me a cold, beer while I sat! Cool art on the wall, good hair products and cool clothes for sale were a nice touch as well. I found the atmosphere to be exactly how they described it on the website: a place where a man who takes pride in his appearance can feel comfortable doing just that. I'll be back soon and often. I've been to places like this in San Francisco, Boston and Brooklyn and been hoping that someone would open one here in the burgh. Well done guys! read more

I found this barber shop when I was no longer able to go to my barber (his hours couldn't work with my schedule). I was happy to see that they were open weekends, as well as until 9 on two weekdays, so for somebody working a retail job, it was a godsend. Everybody here is super friendly and laid back! They really take pride and care about creating a welcoming environment for everybody that walks in the door. You're asked if you want a free water, coffee, or beer while you wait, given a hot towel and razor shave on the back of your neck, and given a free hair wash when it's all over. I look forward to getting my hair cut every time I make my appointment. That's another great thing...you can text them to make your appointment! Just make sure you do it a while before you want to come in...they fill up pretty quickly, and for a good reason! I would definitely recommend this barber shop to people, and for $20 you get a great cut and great service! read more

Excellent haircut by Ethan. I was in town for one day and I was able to get an appointment mid afternoon. I was greeted with a smile and offered a drink while I waited. Very cool vibe and atmosphere. I would definitely come back if I am ever in town again read more

Random people compliment my hair all the time. Nick is the man! The atmosphere is like if a tattoo shop decided to cut hair instead. I love this place! read more

Absolutely horrible recent experiences. They start by liquoring you up so you don't realize that your getting ripped of for $26 plus tip for a mediocre cut. I have Been going to this place since it opened for years and every time I went they kept loosing better and better barbers. This place is expensive so you expect a good haircut and I've had a few really bad haircuts recently when I've been expecting the same amazing cut I have been getting for years but I'm afraid this place has lost its charm and good barbers. Not only that but the staff are extensively rude and unprofessional. Couldn't believe my ears whenever the barber complained whenever I wanted it shorter on the sides and why I didn't say anything sooner. Its hard whenever you have no glasses on and you can't see in the mirror to see the progress.. I use to believe this was the best place in town and whenever I wasn't satisfied with a haircut and wanted it fixed cause they left tons of loose hairs they said they didn't want me coming back. To be honest I was upset then I remembered I should not spent $30 to go home thinking a hair cut looks bad so ill find a better barber shop that is more professional and half the price too. read more

Best haircuts for my husband and 3 boys. They are super friendly and keep all my boys looking sharp! Highly recommend!

Mister G&G is a class act. Michael clearly is on a different level than the other places I've been. I can't remember the last time I've been this pleased with a haircut, probably because it was never. He asks good questions and gives good advice, walking out I felt like a million bucks. At $15 per haircut this place is worth that and more, not to mention the free drink and very friendly service! If they keep their service at this high level of quality, then as long as my hair keeps growing, I'll keep going to Mister G&G. read more

Awesome trendy place, great conversationalist Michael is also amazing at hair. He showed me how to style my new haircut, as well as which products to use on my hair. The art in the store I for sale and amazing. An added bonus was the fact that there is a complementary beer if you so wish to partake in a cut and a brew. I will definitely be back. read more

I'm a BIG fan of this place. As I moved to Pittsburgh from New Zealand I needed to find a decent barber and was recommended this place by a friend. MJ is my barber he actually gives a shit about what you want and what you're up to in your personal life unlike some other big chain salons. Mister is probably the first place where I've actually felt comfortable in, where I can genuinely relax and be left in the trusted hands of my barber. The price is super cheap (my recent cut was $20 for a haircut and beard trim) which to me is a total steal! If you want quality try Mister G&G read more

Go here to get a haircut if you are a guy and you give a crap what your hair looks like. If not, keep going to SportsClips or GreatClips or some other clips. Seriously though, its hard to find more value for a $24 haircut than you get here. The attention to detail and amount of time they put into your hair is unmatched at the price point. Try it one time, and you'll wonder why you went anywhere else. read more

We've been getting our hair cut at mister for close to 4 years. The shop is the best I have ever been to. They are friendly, welcoming and above all cut great hair. We originally had another barber do our cuts but when he left we chose to stay with Mister and switched to Michael. He does a great job on our hair. The shop itself offers a variety of drinks and a great ambiance. You won't regret your decision. read more

Drove 50 minutes to try out this shop because I couldn't find any in my area that did consistent work and had a good atmosphere. All of the workers here are really friendly. The work I saw everyone doing was fantastic. Niles did my cut and he listened to what I wanted. He was also great at keeping conversation without being awkward. My drive was worth it and I'll be back for sure. read more

This place is awesome! Zack Dean has cut my hair 4 times and every time he has done an amazing job. I've always struggled to explain how I want my hair cut. Zack was awesome and translating my 'hair cut gibberish' into exactly what I was thinking. Also had a great conversation. Zack is the only barber I have worked with at Mister's but I would assume they are all great. Shop is awesome. People are cool. Results are awesome. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

Great place, would hands down recommend it - don't forget to make an appointment too. As a guy I am just one of those people that cannot articulate what I want my hair to look like. I read Esquire and other publications, think "hey I can look like that" and then I find I am really terrible at styling my hair. This place was the answer for that. read more

The worst scheduling system of any barber I've ever experienced. Unless you can make your next appointment more than 2 weeks in advance you will never get a 2nd haircut. I've been going here for 4 months and it never got better or easier. Don't waste your time falling for this place just because they offer you a free beer while you wait. It's not worth the hassle! They will also try to fool you into buying expensive products every time you sit in their chair, no matter how much you insist you are not interested. read more

Slightly perplexed by the reviews here and on yelp. I got a haircut and it was below mediocre. Really nothing better than the $8 establishments in bloomfield or oakland. Now that would be fine if it were an unpretentious $8 establishment, but it isn't. Aside from the quality of the haircut. I tried to get an appointment on Thursday and they claimed they were booked all the way till Tuesday. Wow. Fine, I come on Tuesday morning and get my haircut. There were 6-7 staff here, a good half of whom didn't seem to be doing anything other than fooling around. Ok. After the mediocre haircut I asked if I could get a straight shave and I was told that no, because I didn't book it. Again, of the three male barbers one was cutting my hair and the other two hadn't been doing anything all the time I was there. UPDATE 10/12/2014. Ok, so this is really pathetic. Yesterday I received a message from a person calling themselves Regina Filangi (apparently this is a pseudonym from a show) from an account that appears to have been created just recently with no reviews or other activity. The message was basically a long and pathetic rant about my review above. I'll spare the readers all of it, just wanted to share the following sentence: "It's a shame that you, as an angry black woman (judging by all reviews you've written), decided to create a Yelp account so that you are able to take out your "the world owes me something" aggression on the unfortunate businesses you've decided to visit." I would consider giving the owners of Mister G&G the benefit of doubt and say that maybe this is some unaffiliated nut head, but the fact that the writer appears overly familiar with the shop and its operations, as well as the fact that they created an account specifically to address my review makes me believe otherwise. Can't really add much here, you guys are as low as it gets. read more

I had my haircut by Ali earlier this week. She's as sweet and outgoing as the come, not to mention a super talented barber. Funny, but when I started getting my haircut here a year or so ago, Ali was just getting started and learning the ropes. Now a year plus later, she's churning out some of the best styles at Mister G&G. read more

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. I started going to Mister shortly after they opened last year and have been a loyal customer ever since. I went to try something different (I'd been seeing my previous barber for 7 years) and loved what I got: a better haircut and better atmosphere for less money. I've worked with Michael from the start but Ali and MJ are both excellent too; I see their work while I'm getting cut and am consistently impressed. Heather is also awesome and always makes me feel welcome and comfortable. At the end of the day, you can get a good haircut in a lot of places, but at Mister, you get more than that: a consistently positive all-around great experience, a few laughs and complementary coffee/water/beer. It's the people that work there that make the difference; they treat you like a friend, not just a customer. read more

Best hair cut and shave in the city. Also a good beer before you start. I went to about 4 different barbers around the area and every time left feeling like a drunk had gone wild on me after only asking for a buzz cut. But this place they take their time. They treat everyone like VIPs and I love the way the place looks. The price is great for the hair cut you get and I ever mind leaving a good tip. Oh and make sure to call ahead they are always booked. I know the welcome walk ins but good luck getting a last minuet cut by them. read more

The reviews are correct. Appointments fill up very fast, though I called right when they opened and got on their "cancel list", ended up getting an appt that same day. As for the haircut, it was a great cut for any amount of money. When you consider that it was only $20, it was mind-blowingly good. Supercuts price, high end salon result. Included a shampoo and style too. Last, but not least, a warm towel on the neck complimented the ice cold beer better than you could imagine. You're not going to get a better value in Pittsburgh, I can assure you of that. Best practice: set your next appointment when leaving your current one. read more

This is the only time I have ever posted anything on Yelp. But I felt I had too. This is the email I just sent Mister Grooming & Goods. It should explain everything... I went in for a trim and had an appointment with Gina. She did not take her time and was not paying attention at all! I gave her instructions on how to cut my hair i.e. my hair curls as it gets longer, please cut the curls out but keep the length and make sure to trim the back shorter. She did the opposite and trimmed my bangs too short and didn't touch my sides or back. I asked her to fix it and it felt like a panic hair cut from then on. Like she was genuinely panicking trying to fix it. It felt very uncomfortable. I wasn't going to tip and in fact didn't at first. Then I felt bad and gave 15%. BTW: I Love the look of the shop and the overall experience i.e. straight edge razor, actually does beards, drinks, hot towel and massage. Gina didn't really do any of this stuff either. And left me with a lot of loose hair all over my shirt because of her last minute "fix." When it was all said and done, I got a crappy $20 haircut that I could have gotten at Supercuts. No different... except the PBR. P.S. Everyone I've asked at work says the cut doesn't look very good. "Unbalanced" with the bangs way too short is the consensus. And of course, everyone is recommending their guy. read more

The best shop in Pittsburgh. They really do care about their clients!

First haircut in a year and it was a great experience. Barber was fantastic. Great scene. Great service. Wouldn't think twice about going again or recommending the shop. read more

Everything about this place is great! The barbers are all professional, kind, and great to talk with. The atmosphere is everything beard and mustache culture could ask for. The owners are the nicest people and I am privileged to support their business. It's no surprise that this place is reservations only. I recommend this place to all my friends. LGBT+ friendly. read more

Niles has been cutting my hair for years now. He's extremely talented with amazing creative vision. The shop has a super cool vibe and everyone who works there is friendly and professional. I recommend this place to all the guys and gals I know looking for a cool cut. read more

The first time I went to Mister it was a great experience, I got a good haircut in an astoundingly short amount of time. My second experience was terrible. Michael barely paid any attention to what he was doing. When he was done he asked the obligatory "what do you think" as I stared at the worst haircut I've ever seen. The left and right side of my head are completely different. If it was simply a matter of taste; just a cut I didn't particularly care for, it wouldn't be a problem, but I honestly feel like he couldn't have cared less. read more

New small business that just opened up - CHECK Attentive and professional service - CHECK Barber (rather than 'stylist') - CHECK No overly-pushy sales of product - CHECK Extremely fair pricing - CHECK Great bedside manner - CHECK Clean and distinctive facilities - CHECK All the things that go into a proper barber shop are found at Mister. Michael is not your Grandfather's barber...but then again is that what you really want? I've tried going to the barber shops that have been around for 30+ years and almost all of those guys are going through the motions. Somewhere in the middle of the 20th century we completely lost touch with the American tradition of experiencing a proper barbershop and getting our hair cut cleanly and elegantly by a professional barber. I walked into Mister on a lark because I saw a bit of an "old-timey" look. The tradition is there, but with all the nuances of a modern approach to service and delivery. Michael has been around the salon industry, and he has also apprenticed and worked as a formal barber. Mister is clearly his vision of taking the best of both old and new and delivering a 21st century customer experience. Immediately following the great conversation, the unique decor, and the fantastic haircut...something hit me right as I walked out the door...I couldnt wait to go back. When was the last time that ever happened to you after getting your hair cut? For me, it had never happened before. I've found my new barber in Pittsburgh. All is well. read more

Yelp has let me down before but I trusted the great reviews for Mister and I do not regret it. I've been cutting my own hair for 3 years for the simple reason that I'm usually always disappointed after paying for a haircut. I decided it's time to stop hacking at my own scalp and time to try finding someone who knows what they're doing, and boy do the people here know what's up. I was running late to my appointment (because Pittsburgh's road work is never done)so I called in and they were very nice about it and took me in around closing time. I walked in and got a friendly smile, a beer and left with the haircut I went in for, rare! A great buzz for a great price, check these folks out. read more

Great service. Really friendly. Hated going to get my haircut at other barbers for most of my life and now I'm looking forward to coming back here. Plus there's free booze read more

I'm writing this on behalf of my boyfriend, who has been coming here throughout the time we've been together. He always looks forward to his time at Mister, since in addition to always doing a great job they offer you an espresso or a beer with your haircut/shave and provide a welcoming and relaxed vibe. He comes home happier and refreshed with a sweet haircut that doesn't grow out terribly. Recently he changed the way he cuts his hair, and the people at Mister did a wonderful job on the new style. He's also been able to purchase the styling products they've used on him to recreate the look at home. Overall I would say Mister is a really quality establishment, and they'll have our business for years to come. read more

I can't say enough positive things about this place. For almost 10 years I've just buzzed off my hair, trimmed my beard, and was ok with that. After today I don't think I can go back to that. My beard has never looked better and i left there so relaxed! Book an appointment and go see them! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

For years I have only gotten my haircuts at Supercuts close to my work. It was convenient, inexpensive and in a comfortable environment. The hours worked with my schedule as well. After awhile I figured I could just cut my own hair, my all over buzz was impossibly simple. I purchased the Philips Headgroomer and was able to achieve the same look on my own. The haircut was free after my initial small investment although it required a lot of time, hunching over my bathroom sink, tissues covering the drain pipe. The head groomer product worked great, nothing wrong with the product. But after approximately 40 minutes I'd twisted all over trying to ensure I cut everywhere and the edging/neck area was the biggest pain of all. The end result after my haircut? Another 15 minute shower to wash it all off and cleaning the sink of any remaining hairs. Here steps in my co-worker who recommended Mister Grooming & Goods, a short drive from my apartment in Shadyside; I was interested in getting something with a little more style. I took the leap after checking out their website finding fair prices and a fun environment. I was all set for a 2:00PM Sunday appointment. I met with the associate at the front desk and ultimately Zack Dean, a super chill personable guy from Shaler who's been there about 2 years. Zack hooked me up with a super tight mid-fade up to a "2" length on top. We got along great and the experience was just exceptional. He washed my hair as well so no complete shower needed or mess to clean up for me! The prices are great, the environment was so friendly and welcoming and the end result was professional and on point. If you're looking to invest in quality, skip the Great Clips, Supercuts and Sports Clips (or DIY). Go here and get the exact look you want and have a great time as well. read more

My new place for haircuts. (I have less hair now than I do in my picture.) Friendly, efficient, always willing to suggest something but also happy to cut the way you want. Quite inexpensive too; I'm only spending a couple bucks more per cut now than when I went to SuperCuts or wherever, with an infinite increase in quality. Yes, it's very hipstery but I've seen kids to senior citizens getting haircuts there. They specialize in dudes but will cut women's hair as well. read more

Great vibe, good people, awesome cut. Finally a barber in Pittsburgh where they not only know how to handle a scissors but the place has cool decor and a comfortable vibe. When I walked in, I was greeted with smiles and offered a coffee, beer or water. Ali did a bang-up job on my hair and I left knowing that I will be back again soon--although maybe a little later in the day so I can enjoy a beer while I get my cut. read more

If you have a nice function coming up I would definitely splurge and come in and see these folks. The service is great and everyone is extremely personable. They are excellent at reading their clients and knowing what kind of environment they want. My only critique is that it's a bit hard to get in on the fly. You really have to plan in advance if you want to get an appointment. Other than that it's my preferred hair place. read more

Visited Mister for the first time yesterday afternoon and can say, with confidence, it's the best haircut I've ever received. The environment is super-inviting and comfortable. MJ took the time to discuss exactly what I wanted and executed it better than any garbage national chain place has ever. Straight razor on the neck line is a huge perk as well as the shampoo and style that's included in the price. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I had such a great experience here to get my hair cut! Ashley and MJ are awesome. This place makes me feel like I am way cooler than I actually am. They offered me a PBR before noon while I waited and yes I took it. They book up fast, so call ahead of time for when you need a hair cut. read more
