Schedule an Appointment at a Hair Salon That’s a Cut Above the Rest

Ray’s Hair Cutting is built on a tradition of excellence dating back nearly 70 years. Founder Raymond J. Castagna, earned his Art of Barbering certificate in 1949, honing his skills with local master barbers before eventually opening his own barber shop, Ray’s Hair Cutting, in 1954. Castagna perfected his barbering skills in New York, Florence and Rome, delivering the best in men’s hairstyles to generations of people living in and around Westerly, RI.

After decades of work throughout Westerly, Weekapaug, Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Washington County, RI, Castagna eventually traded Rhode Island for sunny South Florida, bestowing his talents and wisdom to his son, Nick, who now operates the barber shop and hair salon. After decades of family-owned management, Nick is thrilled to lead the quality, experienced team that our customers know and love.

Our salon and barber shop has been family-owned and -operated for nearly 70 years.

Ray’s Hair Cutting is staffed by master barbers and licensed stylists, providing you and your family the best in haircuts, stylings, color corrections, highlights, perms and more. We have six separate haircutting rooms to provide you a safe, private environment for a haircut you’ll be proud to show off. Walk-ins are welcome; however, we prefer that you call ahead so we can schedule the time you deserve with our barbers and stylists.

Whether you’re due for the usual cut and color, want to style up some brand-new men’s hairstyles, or need to tame an unruly beard, we promise a personalized experience that’ll leave you looking your best—and feeling confident!
