Franchise Description
The traditional children's hairstyles of Pigtails & Crewcuts are making a fresh
comeback - in the form of a 'cutting edge' hair boutique that makes getting a haircut
a fun and entertaining experience for children.
More than a Haircut - The Pigtails & Crewcuts Difference
Pigtails & Crewcuts provides a wide array of services that go far beyond what its
name implies. In addition to quality haircuts for boys and girls, the salon offers
"updos" and finger and toenail polishing services. Additionally, the salon can be
reserved for Glamour Girl birthday parties featuring, hair-dos, makeup and dress
up activities.
Pigtails & Crewcuts doesn't fit any of the stereotypes commonly associated with
the children's services industry. We accommodate children of all ages in a one-of-a-kind
environment that is appealing to kids and parents alike - it's as fun as a playroom
but as stylish and comfortable as a living room. And when it's time for the haircut,
our custom-kiddie chairs do all the entertaining.
Pigtails & Crewcuts locations feature a fully stocked playroom with toys including
a wooden train, blocks, balls and a PlayStation 2 for older children. Situated above
every haircutting station is a TV that plays family-friendly movies. The salons'
custom-made pint-sized barber chairs are shaped like airplanes, cars and even fire
engines that come complete with a bell. Salons also offer two full-sized barber
chairs for their more grown-up patrons.
Additionally, Pigtails & Crewcuts salons sell private label hair and body products
for girls and boys including Out of This World Orange, Goofy Grape, Berries and
Bows and Wacky Wash.
It only takes one visit to know why every new Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise instantly
becomes the talk of the town.

More About Pigtails & Crewcuts
Pigtails & Crewcuts was founded in 2002 by Nanette Adair, an Atlanta stay-at-home
mom seeking a child-friendly place for her two young children to get a haircut.
Adair who had always dreamed of owning her own business, decided to follow her entrepreneurial
spirit and create a place where children could not only get a quality haircut, but
also have fun in the process.
Shortly after opening the first Pigtails & Crewcuts location in Atlanta, Adair was
approached by Wade Brannon, an Atlanta father of three who loved Pigtails & Crewcuts
so much that he bought the rights to franchise the concept nationwide. Brannon,
former Director of Franchising for Atlanta-based Heavenly Ham expects Pigtails &
Crewcuts to open 150 locations by 2009 and more than 400 locations over the next
decade.
