I have been going here for the past 10 years after getting one too many Great Clip haircuts. I haven't had a bad haircut since I've been going here. A vast majority of the people that work here are mainstays, so you get consistency here. Kathy and Peggy are great people and will treat you right.
The place is always clean and the extra touches are well worth the money. The midway feature is worth the price alone not to mention added assurance that you're getting a quality haircut. I've read a few negative reviews about wait times. I'd rather wait a few extra minutes to get a quality haircut rather than getting in 5 minutes earlier and get butchered by someone who just got their license.
This place is very well run and I like the people complaining about business practices. Listen they've been there 10 years, I think they're doing something right. Take it from someone who's been going to both Athleticuts for the past 10 years. This place is outstanding.
