Our kid-centric salon, located in The Orchard Town Center, provides a fun, stress-free haircut experience for kids and parents. Locally owned, our salon aims to give parents the experience that we searched for—but couldn’t find—with our own children. Whether you’re looking for a quick buzz cut, a timeless bob, a heart-shaped braid or the latest ‘do, our professional stylists are here for you.

In our bright and cheerful salon, kids usually have so much fun they forget about the actual haircut. They’re too busy playing with our train table, toys, video games and Wii or watching a movie on one of our five flat screens. While getting their haircut, kids can sit in our famous chairs, including a fire truck, airplane, taxi and police car (we also have regular chairs for parents and older siblings). Each girls’ haircut includes hair glitter, ribbon, and your choice of a braid, pigtails or a ponytail.  Boys can try out our cool spikey gel (it even comes in colors). Throughout the visit, kids enjoy treats galore (with parent’s permission, of course), including animal crackers, a lollipop and a trip to our exciting treasure chest.

As the only Pigtails & Crewcuts in the state of Colorado, we strive to make all kids smile, whether they’re sitting in the chair or celebrating in our spacious birthday party room. Call, stop by or book an appointment online today and see why Pigtails & Crewcuts has been named a top franchise for five consecutive years by Entrepreneur Magazine, and why Parents Magazine named Pigtails & Crewcuts one of the Top 10 Chains for Kid Birthday Parties.

We’re all ready for summer, but are you ready for summer hair care?

Nothing says care-free like a day at the pool—hot sun, cool water, splashing the day away. It’s easy to relax in the summertime, but there’s one thing you can’t get too lax about, and that’s your hair. If left to its own devices, chlorine can have a lasting effect on hair, turning it straw-like and green in color. To avoid hair damage (and to keep from smelling like the pool), be sure and wash hair after every dip in the water.

The stylists at Pigtails & Crewcuts recommend using Pigtails & Crewcuts Summertime Scrub Swimmer Shampoo, as well as our great and affordable conditioner. The gentle cleansers get the chemicals out, while leaving hair soft, shiny and manageable. The experts at our kid-centric hair salon want you to enjoy your summer, but please don’t let your healthy habits take a summer vacation. Call or stop by today for more summer hair care tips.

Pigtails & Crewcuts is in the Denver Post! The paper did a big story on the history of our Westminster salon for kids, delving into the ways that we strive to cater to all children, including our many customers with special needs. The story includes photos of our 5-year-old son, Hayden, who has sensory processing disorder. Before opening our own hair salon for children, we struggled to find a place that catered to his special needs. We’re so proud that Hayden inspired us to open a business that truly makes a difference in the lives of Denver-area families. Thanks to the Denver Post for a wonderful article!

Did you know that our kids’ salon has a special room for birthday parties? Your daughter will be the belle of the ball at a Pigtails & Crewcuts dress-up party. In our private party room, she and her friends can choose from an elaborate wardrobe of gowns and enjoy hair up-dos, tasteful make-up application and nail polish. In addition to your stylist, our professional party host will play entertainment DJ, leading the girls through karaoke, Wii Just Dance, crafts and more. We’ll even snap their photos as they walk down our red carpet!

Each party is as creative as the kids are. Past themes have included princess parties, luaus, Dolly & Me Tea parties, pirate or cowboy/cowgirl parties and more. Plus, moms love the fact that the kids have all the fun, and then we do all the clean-up.

Our award-winning parties are all inclusive, with cupcakes, beverages, decor, balloons and much more. Book your party today and find out why Parents Magazine named Pigtails & Crewcuts one of the Top 10 Chains for Kid Birthday Parties. All-inclusive parties are priced from only $189.

We’re thrilled to be featured in the story “Taking the Trauma out of a Trim,” published in The Westminster Window April 27. The piece tells the story of what led us to open Pigtails & Crewcuts: We were so frustrated with our search for a kid-friendly salon that would cater to our twin boys—one of whom has sensory processing disorder—that we decided to take matters into our own hands. We’ve been having a ball ever since. Thanks to reporter Ashley Reimers and the Westminster Window for the chance to share our story. We love being able to offer kids and their parents a stress-free, enjoyable salon experience.

You may not have heard, but April is Autism Awareness Month. We think it’s great that autism is getting some deserved attention. But to be honest, at Pigtails & Crewcuts, every month is autism awareness month. That’s because the issue hits close to home.

My wife, Rachel, and I opened Pigtails & Crewcuts in The Orchard Town Center in 2010, following a series of disappointments while taking our young twin boys to salons. We weren’t impressed with the ways that any of the adult-centric salons worked with kids. One salon actually told us it would be best if we didn’t come back, because both of our boys were crying during their haircuts (they’re 4, it happens!). In addition, one of our children has special needs, and not all businesses have the proper preparation and exposure, frankly, to know how to help him be his best.

Having grown up in the area, ourselves, Rachel and I saw the opportunity to open a kids salon that welcomed everyone with open arms—crying or not, special needs or not. Rachel’s background is in social work, so she truly knows how important it is to provide a supportive, friendly and fun environment for everyone.

With Pigtails & Crewcuts, that’s just what we’ve tried to do. Whether your child is the belle of the ball who dreams of being pampered at the salon, or a shy child who prefers a more quiet approach, we want everyone to be comfortable at Pigtails & Crewcuts, and we go to great lengths to see that they are.

Our talented staff has extensive experience in working with children who have physical, medical and developmental challenges. We hired each and every one of them because they’re kind, patient and talented. Together, we’re working hard to best serve each customer.

Lately, many families have requested special “quiet” hours for kids who are overwhelmed by noise and crowds. We’re happy to accommodate those requests, and we extend our hours every Sunday from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. by appointment for children with special needs. We’re also happy to schedule appointments or take walk-ins during our slower, calmer times during the week, which is generally 12:30-3 Monday-Friday. If you’re interested in an appointment, please call us at 303-252-0744 to schedule. We look forward to giving you a great haircut and a wonderful experience.

If you look around Pigtails & Crewcuts kids’ hair salon, you’ll see brightly colored classic bows, princess bows, headbands and more, all made by a local mom.

Leanne Connor, a mother of three who lives in Louisville, Colorado, has been creating adorable bows for nearly seven years. The former nursing assistant began stocking up on ribbon and tulle soon after her daughter was born.

At first, it was a way of saving money. “I was spending $3 for little-bitty two-inch hair bows, and of course she had to have one to go with everything,” laughs Connor. “I thought, ‘I could probably make these for cheaper.’” So that’s just what she did.

In the beginning, friends would ask her how she made the bows, complimenting them. Enough people were curious that she decided to sell them on Etsy.com. When she brought them into Pigtails & Crewcuts, where she’d long been a customer, we were so taken with them that we decided to make them a part of our inventory.

Connor says her daughter, who inspired her to start the business, still remains involved. “I try every one of them out on my daughter,” she says. “I want to make sure they all look cute.”

She admits that some days, the most challenging aspect of the business is actually parting with her creations. “Every time I do a new bow, I have a new favorite,” she smiles.

Stop by the salon today to see Connor’s latest Petite Pretties Bowtique creations.
