The Mob Shop

Sitting in the shop as I am writing this review. I’ve been here 20 min and the only thing that has been said was «hi» both barbers finished with their customers, Jeff the owner I believe shows up and everyone decides it’s time for a smoke break while I’m still sitting inside waiting for a haircut.
This is by far the worst customer service I’ve experienced. I would skip this barbershop and pick a different place

I got a haircut from Gioff, and he’s great! I got a few numbers from my haircut already. And a great price too.

I just received the best hair cut/​clean up in my life! Gioffredo is by far the best Barber that I have ever had.

Went in there a few times with my son. Ask for David, that guy knows how to cut hair. Takes his time to make sure you’re 100% happy

I came to this shop not knowing exactly what to expect. I get my usual tapers and skin fades from my Barber in San Diego, California whom I am very satisfied with. I came to this shop with my younger cousin on my short stay in Oregon. To my surprise, the Barber Shop was right in the middle of Old Town (Yet Upscale) Gresham.
Along with the great location, the shop itself had an awesome American — Italian «mob-​ish» feel to it yet countered by very friendly stylists/​barber. I’m very specific on my cuts as mentioned above, and I noticed as soon as I got in the shop that a gentleman just walked out with the exact same cut as I had. Not to mention… Same shoes. BIG PLUS! These folks know what they’re doing. From Barber — style tapers and fades to coloring, perms, trims etc. They have it all! I would definitely recommend anyone to this place whether you’re as far up as Vancouver to the Southern Outskirts of Portland. Definitely worth the trek.
Mob Shop!

So here is my 5 star point of view — My sister in law was going to Gemma at the Mob Shop some time ago. She introduced me to her and we became friends. I was a bit hesitant to come in at first because I had been going to Rudy’s in Seattle and Portland since college. I am a fan of the urban style hair cuts and relaxed atmosphere. When I came in for the first time — I felt totally comfortable. The place had a super cool atmosphere with some cool décor, sports highlights on TV and the people were great. Gemma gave me a sweet cut and awesome product to style it out. She is classically trained by some famous hair stylist and it shows in her work.
It’s been 2+ year and I have become good friends with the entire crew at Mob Shop. Jeff is hilarious — down to earth guy with funny stories about life. Raylene is super sweet and always brings the good vibes. Gemma is just awesome and always working with me in my next steezy hair style. By the way, is it weird to say — my hair smells great right now. Just sayin’
Thanks Mob Shop — see you next month.
Go stop by — say hi. «Tell em large Marge sent ya!»

I just wanted to thank Gemma! She is a Color Genius! I’m like in my middle ’50’s and lots of color challenges, but Gemma can match my color, and my natural highlights pull through as if I never ever had any grey! I look younger than I am, and I can trust that always with Gemma! Go to Gemma! She is the best! Reliability is priceless!

I have to admit it is a little painful doing this since I went here to get my hair cut for several years but I have to inform people what the owner Jeff is really like… first of all he is a pathological liar, he will tell wild crazy stories that are not true, he has told me five different stories about where he studied hair and who he trained under. Secondly, he has NO sanitary standards what so ever, I have literally seen him use the same comb and clippers on multiple people without once cleaning them! And lastly, what really pushed me over the edge, I scheduled a appt. with him on June 12^th to have my fiancés hair colored on June 25^th for our upcoming wedding in July, his reply back in a text message was «Sure, no problem I will absolutely put it down for the 25^th.» When I confirmed with him on the 25^th the appt. he played dumb and said «I thought it was the 24^th I waited all day for her.» Really??? If that was the case why didn’t you call or text me??? Then he said «I can schedule it for next week.» NO, my fiancé was excited to go in and get her hair colored for the time we scheduled, she even got off work early to go! This is just typical Jeff, always looking for a way out! Actions like this is probably why he had to sell half his business!
Honestly, I won’t ever come back here again or recommend anybody to come here! Unless you want to listen to wild, crazy, untrue stories or have him cancel your appt. and play dumb the day of your appt. DO NOT COME HERE!
Please also see that since writing this review Jeff has had several people post reviews, ALL of which are Under «Filtered Reviews» READ Unilocal policy on this, here is quote from Unilocal site about filtered reviews
«while most business owners focus on providing great service and let their business speak for itself, a very small percentage apparently would prefer to take a less than honest approach. That includes writing their own reviews, paying others to write reviews and, at times, even posting negative reviews on competitors’ pages.»
