Pigtails & Crewcuts is a national, upscale children’s hair salon with over 80 locations in 24 states. We have 20+ locations in different development stages as well. Founded in Atlanta, GA, our dedicated franchise team has over 75 years of combined franchising experience. Our mission is to create a fun and memorable haircutting experience for children and their families. With brightly colored walls and our signature theme car chairs, Pigtails & Crewcuts provides an environment where kids can be kids.
The hair industry is a $65 billion industry, and the children’s segment is over $7 billion; therefore, this recession-resistant industry will continue to grow. While there are competitors in this space, there really is no national brand. Pigtails & Crewcuts is the premier provider of children’s haircuts across the country by providing an exceptional experience in our salons, and through our support of our franchisees. What sets us apart is our strong Item 19, dependable and ongoing franchise support, and excellent franchisee validation.

Candidate Profile:
This franchise opportunity lends itself to a number of ownership opportunities. Our franchisees come from all walks of life and have different goals and objectives that vary from day-to-day operations to higher level ownership. However, none of our franchisees are hairstylists. Some owners are the salon each day managing the daily operations, but most are semi-absentee who either work fulltime or own multiple salons and other businesses. Our semi-absentee model is a great opportunity for clients who are interested in business ownership but might not be ready to leave their fulltime jobs. We have both single and multi-unit franchise opportunities. If you have a client who is interested in diversifying their investment portfolio with a business that will allow them to give back to their community, then Pigtails & Crewcuts may be the right opportunity.

A typical day in a life of a franchisee varies from owner to owner. The beauty of Pigtails & Crewcuts is that our concept allows for a number of ownership opportunities. Some of our franchisees act as the face of their business, working day-to-day in their salon and often act as the receptionist during busier times. Others are semi-absentee and have continued to work their full time jobs. Many are also multi-unit operators who manage their manager and are more involved in the back end of their business.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
Pigtails & Crewcuts franchisees enjoy working with children, and most are parents who prioritize their work-life balance. We are seeking candidates who want to diversify and invest in a low-cost, high-profit business.
