| - I read some other reviews about how this place makes you feel comfortable and the staff being very friendly and having good conversation while getting your cut. Now I haven't been to a barber in years so I'm not sure if this is the norm or not but here's my experience.
I walk in around 1:30 on a Wednesday there's one guy getting a haircut in there. I walk in a get a hello from the barber and that's it. So I sit down and grab a magazine. There's some morning show on the tv, but given that it was a Wednesday afternoon I let it slide. The guy getting his hair cut and the barber seemed to know each other well, and were having a good conversation. A minute later another guy walks in, seemed to be another friend of the two guys and they all start talking. About 10 min later some guy comes from the back room and asks "who's next" I got up and said hi, and i got a half hearted hi in return. Now I had longer hair and as I said hadn't been to a barber in some time, so mostly I has going for a trim and to get it into some sort of style. The guy asks how short I want it and I told him I wanted it kept fairly long. He gives me a puzzled look, and then says "so about a inch to a half inch past the ear?" Sure I tell him. He begins cutting. He tries to ask me questions and I try to give him answers but our conversations end up going nowhere and there are long periods of silence throughout the hair cut. Also, the entire time he is smacking his gum in my ear. Eventually we get on the topic of fantasy football and stumble through that. Turns out he doesn't know much about football. I tell him I also have a fantasy basketball team. He doesn't watch basketball. I try to mention baseball in there just to see if I can get him to bite on something, but it turns out he doesn't know much about that either. So much for the great conversation, what kind of barber doesn't know anything about sports?
As for the hair cut, remember I told him I wanted it left longer, and we agreed on that? Guess he forgot, because my hair was much shorter than I had planned on it being. It wasn't a terrible haircut but definitely not what I was hoping for. At the end of it I get out of the chair and he stares at me a bit before telling me it's $12. Needless to say I was pretty happy to get out of there.
Maybe it was the guy I got, or maybe that's just the way they run things at Ray's, but it was a pretty disappointing experience. Seemed like he didn't have a clue as to other hair styles, and just went with his standard. I don't think I'll be going back.
