Meet the Team

Nick Castagna

Nick, who is the son of Ray, started his barbering career in 1977 heading to sunny Florida to attend The Miami Barber College. Upon completion, Nick returned to Westerly to work alongside his father, eventually taking over the reins of Ray’s.

While achieving Master Barber status, Nick soon became proficient with the tools of the trade whether it be shears, clippers, or razors. (Sorry, but no straight razor shaves.) More recently he attended The American Crew Academy in Colorado along with numerous trips back to Florida to fine tune his barbering skills.

Nick is very proud to continue the tradition of offering quality hair care in a welcoming, professional and fun environment while surrounding himself with a top notch team.

Debbie Bivona

Debbie is a master barber with 30 years’ experience in all aspects of men’s styling and grooming. She received her technical training and licensing from the New London Academy of Hairdressing in New London Ct. At the academy she learned all aspects of cutting, color, highlights, nails and of course barbering. After working at two women’s hair salons Debbie was offered a position at the US Naval Base barber in Groton Ct. There she perfected her trade as a barber doing fades, flat tops and contemporary men’s hairstyles. After 8 years working at the base in Groton, Debbie moved to Florida and worked as a barber at Patrick Airforce base.

Debbie returned to Rhode Island to open her own shop which she called Details. Over the next ten years Debbie built a successful clientele of local residents as well as people summering in Westerly.

Debbie now rents a space at Ray’s as an independent self-employed barber, She continues serving her regular clients, many of whom have enjoyed getting their haircuts from Debbie for over two decades. Her reputation as a top men’s stylist is only matched by her reputation as a sharp-witted, fun and funny woman who runs her shop with a laid back vibe where clients feel at ease.

Mark

In 1995 Mark Gervasini’s barbering career took flight while cutting hair in his parents’ garage. After self-teaching how to cut his own hair on a weekly basis, his clientele grew to his 3 brothers and school friends. Realizing the passion he has for the craft, within a few years he landed at Ray’s Hair Cutting working alongside Nick Castagna, who graciously took him under his wing. It didn’t take Mark long to venture off on his own, and soon after, he established Gervasini’s Barber in 2000. Over the next two decades, Gervasini’s became one of the area’s Premier barbershops. After having achieved that goal, Mark has decided to step down from ownership and return to his roots at Ray’s Hair Cutting to focus on what he loves doing best; providing his clients throughout Westerly, Weekapaug, Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Washington County, RI with the finest contemporary and classic men’s and women’s haircuts. To make an appointment with Mark for your next cut, please contact us or text him at 401-464-2812.
