How about those expensive Mom Cuts at the Fancy Hair Salon?

For Mom?

Let’s face it as a Mom we spend all of our time giving of ourselves and taking care of others’ needs. We *really* look forward to going to the Salon and getting pampered….Two whole hours to ourselves! We are feeling the high of the cappuccino and the fancy surroundings, but when it comes time to pay the bill, we sure do feel it! Living in a budget means we have to choose wisely about how we spend our money and how we define VALUE.

Did you know that you could get all that pampering at Pigtails & Crewcuts for just $ 22.95! Yes! A great shampoo AND a great Mom cut for under $25.00!

Our stylists have all worked with adults prior to joining our team. They can do the same current styles that you see in any magazine! Yes, it is true that we don’t have the fancy cappuccino and instead of classical music, we have The Lorax playing in the background, but think about it, with all the money you save you can swing by Starbucks, get your own coffee AND buy a fun new outfit to go with your sassy new do! So, next time your do needs an update, go ahead and give us a try! We KNOW you will come back!

For the Kids?

 Yes, this little fellow does not look happy does he? That’s because he is NOT a fan of getting his hair cut and his Mom took him to an adult salon, where after struggling to get him into compliance, the stylist gave up and this was the end result. Now, can you go to a regular salon and get a good haircut? Yes, if you are lucky. However, at Pigtails & Crewcuts: Kids Haircut is what we do!

Our stylists LOVE what they do. We love children, we love hearing their fun stories and most of all we love watching the grow out of the “I scream like someone is killing me because I am afraid of haircuts” face. We do not get stressed if he is wiggly. If your child has special needs, we know just how to make them feel comfortable, at ease. We are able to accommodate their needs because we know the importance of meeting your child at their level.

When your child comes to Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids, they KNOW they are in their place. They come to see their friends, sit in the fun car and be in a setting dedicated to them.

 As a parent, you know that you can trust our stylist to give you a great haircut every time! Beyond great haircuts, Pigtails & Crewcuts is a place where we become family!

The Daily Rounds Of A Hound – A New Children’s Picture Book

     The Daily Rounds of a Hound by Ed Payne and illustrated by Britt Sekulicis the tale of Molly Malone – an adorable mutt adopted from an animal shelter by a new family.

Once home, the family learns that Molly is carrying stowaways – a litter of nine pups. Molly has no pedigree, but takes her job as family pet seriously. She patrols the house, protects the kids and goes on secret missions (or does she?).

The Daily Rounds of a Hound is the first children’s picture book by Marietta, Georgia-based Ed Payne, an Emmy award- and Peabody award- winning journalist for CNN.

The book’s quirky rhyming style is inspired by the books we all grew up with. “While Molly’s story is a very personal one for my family, ultimately, it’s the story of everyone’s dog, our love for them and how much we get in return,” Payne said.

Faux Early Reviews:

“Four paws up!” – Doggie Digest

“A real tailwagger!” – Phydeaux Magazine

“I’m drooling for more!” – The Hound Monthly

“I kept this story on a short leash!” — The Daily Wag

The Daily Rounds of a Hound is available in the United States and internationally on Amazon.com in both
paperback and Kindle editions. U.S customers also can purchase the book, Molly Malone T-shirts and
plush toys at dailyroundsofahound.com
