George Barber shop II — Attraction in Irvington

Barbershop does not know how to give proper cuts and I’m assuming hire anyone. I went yesterday to get a cut AND NOTE MY HAIR WAS CURLED AND WAS PRETTY BIG. I asked for a LOW taper and I showed the barber how much I wanted off the top but I’m guessing this person did not know how to cut. She was a female barber so I was a bit skeptical at first but decided to give her a try. giving a female barber is a mistake. But anyway she started with the sides and it seems pretty good but when she started on the back I clearly felt that she was not giving me a taper. She was cutting high as hell and u can already tell that she doesn’t know what she was doing. I don’t even want to start with the top because in my head I was like “no way she can mess up my top because it’s pretty big and bulky” oh boy was I wrong. She turned me into an average hispanic boy, removed all my curls, and even cut my ear. By the time she was finished I was depressed. I got home and checked thinking it wasn’t bad. Bro the back of my head was like an upside down U because it faded only down the middle. Basically wasn’t even a fade it was just a line which pissed me off. I went to a different barbershop later and they fixed me up. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BARBERSHOP. And if u don’t listen and still go DO NOT cut with this girl named JENNY im assuming because I kept hearing Jenny or...

Debí haber verificado mejor las imágenes y reseñas antes de ir. Se nota que el trabajo que hacen es bastante mediocre y la higiene deja mucho que desear. Pagué $35 por un taper fade y pedí específicamente que no me cortaran nada de arriba porque quiero dejar crecer mi cabello. Desde que entré, el dueño (lo reconocí por su foto en los permisos en la pared) se mostró incómodo y me preguntó varias veces el corte que necesitaba, aunque ya se lo había explicado al entrar. El lugar estaba completamente vacío, pero aún así el ambiente era poco profesional.

Durante todo el corte nunca pude ver cómo estaba quedando, y al final ni siquiera me mostró la parte de atrás. Pagué los $35 porque el “trabajo” ya estaba hecho y tampoco pregunté de antemano cuánto costaría. Han pasado dos días desde entonces y anoche me empezó a salir un sarpullido en la parte de atrás de la cabeza, justo donde pasó la máquina. Nunca vi qué herramientas usó ni qué tan limpias estaban, pero noté que todo el lugar estaba sucio, con cabello por todas las esquinas. Esto me hace pensar que no tienen un protocolo de limpieza adecuado, lo cual representa un riesgo de infección para cualquiera.

Debido a la incomodidad que sentí al visitar el establecimiento, prefiero no regresar a ese lugar.

I should have checked the photos and reviews more carefully before going. It’s clear now that the work they do is pretty mediocre and the hygiene standards are questionable. I paid $35 for a taper fade and specifically asked not to cut anything off the top because I’m trying to grow my hair out. From the moment I walked in, the owner (I recognized him from his photo on the licenses on the wall) he looked uncomfortable and asked me multiple times what I wanted, even though I had already explained it when I arrived. The place was completely empty, yet the vibe felt unprofessional.

During the whole haircut, I never saw how it was turning out, and at the end, he didn’t even show me the back. I paid the $35 because the “job” was already done and I hadn’t asked in advance how much it would cost. Two days later, I now have a rash on the back of my head where he used the clippers. I never saw what tools he used or how clean they were, but I did notice that the entire shop was dirty, with hair in every corner. This makes me think they don’t follow proper sanitation protocols, which could put anyone at risk for infections.

Because of how uncomfortable I felt visiting this place, I’d rather not go back...

Shop was empty the day I dropped by and needed a quick cut. They barber nailed my frohawk request the way I like and prefer it. They're not far from me so I'll probably make this my...
