Snip-Its

Snip-its is a children’s hair salon brand that has focused on making haircuts enjoyable and comfortable for kids since it was founded in 1995. The company began with a single location and has grown into a recognizable name for families seeking a specialized alternative to traditional salons. Over the past five years, Snip-its has continued to expand its reach, building a multi-state franchise network and maintaining a strong reputation for its creative, child-friendly salon environments.

A significant milestone occurred in October 2025, when Snip-its was acquired by the ownership group behind Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids. This acquisition led to the formation of Snip-its Franchising, LLC and brought together two established brands under one platform. As of October 2025, Snip-its operates 38 salons across the United States and Canada, with plans for further growth in both countries. The leadership team, including CEO Neal Courtney, COO Alexis Courtney, and VP of Operations Christie Fossett, brings considerable franchise and operational experience to the combined organization.

Since the acquisition, Snip-its has benefited from shared systems, technology, and vendor relationships, allowing the brand to support franchisees more effectively and pursue new development opportunities. The company has retained its distinct brand identity and continues to deliver the playful, memorable experiences that have earned it a loyal customer base. With its headquarters in Massachusetts, Snip-its remains committed to sustainable franchise growth and operational excellence.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Snip-its stands out as a stable and expanding tenant with a proven franchise model. The brand’s growth posture, multi-market presence, and alignment with an experienced ownership group make it a credible partner for a variety of retail environments. Snip-its continues to operate independently within the larger platform, leveraging operational resources while staying true to its creative roots and family-focused mission.
