text: 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 have not been to a barber in years so I am not sure if this is the norm or not but here is my experience nnI walk in around on a Wednesday there is one guy getting a haircut in there I walk in a get a hello from the barber and that is it So I sit down and grab a magazine There is 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 min later some guy comes from the back room and asks who is 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 had not 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 does not know much about football I tell him I also have a fantasy basketball team He does not 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 does not know much about that either So much for the great conversation what kind of barber does not know anything about sportsnnAs 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 was not 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 is Needless to say I was pretty happy to get out of there nnMaybe it was the guy I got or maybe that is just the way they run things at Rays but it was a pretty disappointing experience Seemed like he did not have a clue as to other hair styles and just went with his standard I do not think I will be going back
