“What we do for your haircut”
When you sit in one of our hair cutting chairs at Athletic Cuts, we’ll ask you to describe your ideal haircut, including the length on the sides, top, front, and back. After discussing your preferences, we’ll treat you to a free shampoo. Next, we’ll review your instructions, seek your input during the haircut, and make adjustments as needed. Once we’ve achieved the look you want, we’ll finish with a refreshing rinse and a final inspection of your haircut.
