Pigtails & Crewcuts Franchise

About Pigtails & Crewcuts

Pigtails & Crewcuts is a national, upscale children’s hair salon with over 80 locations in 25 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.

VALIDATION:

The Pigtails & Crewcuts system is healthy and happy, and our franchisees are always willing to have conversations with your clients. They discuss all aspects of their business with prospective franchisees, and share both the wins and struggles of business ownership. We are transparent and honest. We want each client to enjoy their due diligence and education journey, and the validation calls assist with understanding if this is the right investment for them.

CULTURE:

Company culture is very important to our brand. We recognize that our salon experience sets us apart from other kids' salon concepts, and our Core Values aid in creating a positive working environment for our franchisees and their staff. We work with integrity and respect, build positive relationships, we are fun, enthusiastic, and compassionate, deliver consistent quality, and give back to our communities. These values drive us and impact every part of our business model. At the franchisee level, our owners are part of a supportive network of peers who want to see each other and our brand succeed.

OPPORTUNITIES:

Pigtails & Crewcuts offers both single and multi-unit opportunities. Our salons are run on a semi-absentee ownership model, and most of our franchisees have hired managers to run their locations.

Ideal Candidate

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.
