Here at Pigtails & Crewcuts we know that the best way to beat the heat is to stay in the water as much as possible!  But did you know that swimming can wreak havoc on your child’s hair?  If your child’s hair has ever felt slimy and looked green-tinged after too much swimming it is a result of buildup from chlorine.  The water and sun can also really dry your hair out!

In addition to great summer haircuts for boys and girls, Pigtails’s dedicated team of stylists is happy to help you avoid the pitfalls of summer hair! We do offer a wonderful clarifying treatment in the salon to get all the yuckies (We consider that a technical term) out and leave your hair smooth and manageable!  This great service is only $9.99 and includes the treatment plus a shampoo and conditioner!

Want to take care of it yourself?  No problem!

We sell two wonderful lines of clarifying shampoo.  Both the Pigtails & Crewcuts Summertime Scrub AND the Circle of Friends Swimmer Shampoo will gently remove swimming build-up and only need to be used once a week.

Want to help prevent the buildup before it happens?  Protect your hair from sun damage?  Help keep it tangle free when swimming in a pool or in the ocean? You will LOVE our pre-swim conditioner!  Keep some in your bag.  All you have to do is run some through your child’s hair before you go swimming and you will have a much easier time with tangles and buildup!  

Overwhelmed by your choices?  Come see us!  We are always happy to help!

Stay cool, friends!

Ever since Pigtails & Crewcuts started selling Emi Jay hairties, all of us who work here and many of our customers have become ADDICTED!  And I mean it.  I can’t wear anything else in my hair.  On any given day all the stylists are rocking different color “emi-jays”, and customers who buy one to try always come back for more.

So what is it about them that makes them so popular?

Yes, the come in wonderful vibrant colors and patterns in addition to classics that go with any wardrobe demand.

Yes, they are SUPER comfortable! 

Yes, it’s true that they don’t cause any tension, pull at your hair, or cause those ugly bumps in your hair when you pull your ponytail out.

Yes, they look fabulous and stylish as bracelets.

Yes, celebs are choosing these over traditional ponytail holders.

Yes, a contribution to a charity is made for every purchase.

Yes, all Emi Jay products are made in the USA!

Yes, the idea is the brainchild of two 15 year old girls which is pretty cool!

All of these things are true facts that make Emi jay’s great.  

So why didn’t anyone think of these before?

Well, the simple answer is…..they did!  Emi Jay’s are basically the modern day scrunchie! I realized this when having a conversaion with my very awesome but slightly un-hip mom! (kidding mom- you are quite fashionable usually).  Why do we love Emi Jays?  Because they are soft, comfortable, and don’t pull your hair!  Why don’t we like scrunchies?  Well…they are a bit dated and slightly nerdy.

So come try out an Emi Jay!  It’s like a scrunchie but with a very increased coolness factor.  Plus…all those other reasons listed above!

Emi Jay hair ties (pony holders) are $2.50 and headbands are $5.  Come on in and check them out.  Then you,too, can have the most fashionable ponytail around!

2.  Item name: Hair Shots (in Sandy’s hand in pic)

What do you love about it: “What’s not to love?  It makes my stinky hair smell like cotton candy! (Or strawberry, pear, etc…) When I or the kids start to get sweaty we suddenly start smelling AWESOME instead of stinky! It’s like febreeze for your hair!”
