Pigtails & Crewcuts

Pigtails & Crewcuts is a children’s hair salon franchise that focuses on providing haircuts and styling in a setting designed specifically for kids and families. The company was founded in 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia, by entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to create a salon experience that would make children feel at ease. Since its first location opened, the brand has steadily grown its presence through franchising.

As of November 2025, Pigtails & Crewcuts operates 73 salons across more than 20 states. Over the past five years, the company has expanded its reach by opening new locations in both established and emerging markets, including recent entries in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and Denver, Colorado. The brand has prioritized growth in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, California, and Colorado, with a focus on suburban and family-oriented communities.

Each salon is designed to be inviting for young children, featuring bright colors, themed chairs, and play areas. Many locations also offer birthday party packages and sell a selection of hair accessories and children’s gifts, creating additional reasons for families to visit. Pigtails & Crewcuts continues to attract franchisees by supporting local ownership and providing a concept that has demonstrated consistent performance. The company’s flexible format allows it to fit comfortably into a wide range of retail centers, making it a reliable service-based tenant with a recognizable brand and a track record of multi-unit expansion.
