V's Barbershop

You know the saying "First impressions are everything"? Well, I walked into V's today for a haircut. The place has a very cool look inside with a very retro barbershop vibe. They have a small "bar", and they serve drinks and some beer. When I first walked in, there was nobody at the register and people just looked at me without saying anything. So as I stood there for about 30 seconds not knowing what to do, a young guy finally walked up to the register with some towels and asked if I was there for a cut. I told him yes, he asked for my name, and then he told me that Joe was ready for me as he pointed to the end of the room where I spotted a guy leaning up against a small retaining wall as if he was bored. I was kind of excited to try this place out and see what they had in store for me. As I walked up to Joe, he was putting on his "coat", and I was the one who walked up with a smile, introduced myself, and sat down. After Joe put the cape on me, he asked what I wanted. I told him exactly what I wanted, and he started to cut. Through out the entire haircut, Joe didn't say one word to me. When I first arrived, there were 2 other chairs next to me with guys getting their hair cut, and they seem to be about halfway done. Well, as I sat there getting my haircut, I could hear the other 2 barbers carrying on conversations with their clients, but not one word from Joe. He continued to cut my hair until he finally finished. He handed me the mirror without saying anything, I checked out the front, and then I had to ask him to spin me around so I could check out the back . Joe actually did an excellent job on my cut, and I was very satisfied with it, but that was about it. I thanked him for the cut, walked up to the register to pay, and then I mentioned to the young guy that "Joe doesn't talk much", which he responded with "Nope, he's a quiet one". In my opinion, if you're a barber and can't even carry a simple conversation with your client, you should probably look for a different type of job. By the way, he had me in and out in less than 30 minutes, while the other two guys were still chatting and getting their haircuts. Well, remember what I said at the beginning of my review? "First impressions are everything", and I wasn't impressed. $23 for a simple cut that doesn't even include a wash. I guess I'll continue to go to my regular place where I pay $20 which includes a wash AND the tip. I don't mind paying good money for good service, but this was far from good service. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because I was happy with the cut, but that's it.
