| - 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.
