Pigtails & Crewcuts is open in Brookfield, Wisconsin and ready to make haircuts fun and memorable for families in the surrounding area.

Owner Colleen Puffpaff is excited to bring the Pigtails & Crewcuts experience to Brookfield. “When our family lived in Maryland, we took our children to the location in Annapolis and they loved it. It was a great salon with exceptional stylists, and our children really loved all the toys and games that kept them occupied before and during the haircut. Our son only had a fit once and it wasn’t even over the haircut–we arrived and there was no wait time, and he was a little disappointed that he wouldn’t get to play before his haircut,” she shares.

“We are originally from Wisconsin and eventually moved back. Upon moving back, we realized there wasn’t really much in the area that matches the model Pigtails & Crewcuts has already established [in other areas],” Colleen continues. “My family really appreciates that Pigtails & Crewcuts has taken what can be a tough errand for families and makes it easy, and we wanted to bring that to the area.”

Pigtails & Crewcuts has over 50 children’s hair salons across the country, but this is the franchise’s first salon in Wisconsin. The new Brookfield salon will offer the same delightful experience found at other Pigtails & Crewcuts locations, including whimsical, vehicle-shaped chairs, bright colors, and a variety of books, movies, toys, and video games to enjoy before, during, and after the haircut. The salon also features a retail section filled with children’s hair products, accessories, and gifts.

Colleen says Brookfield is an excellent location for Pigtails & Crewcuts, with lots of great schools and families, and feels that the salon will be a great place for families to connect and build new friendships with others in the community.

“We are thrilled to bring Pigtails & Crewcuts to Brookfield and to join the community through this business. We look forward to meeting new families and hope to help make parents’ lives easier by offering a fun place for children’s haircuts.”

The Brookfield salon is located at 17365 W. Bluemound Road, Suite A near the intersection of W. Bluemound and N. Calhoun Roads, and is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm, Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm, and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm.

Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids is open in Parker, Colorado and ready to make haircuts fun and memorable for families in the local community.

Owners Sara and Robert Smith’s path to bringing a Pigtails & Crewcuts salon to the community began when their family relocated to the Denver area for Sara’s job in the hospital and healthcare industry. Like any other family would do, they began looking for local businesses that provided the services their family would need. When it was time for their son to get a haircut, Sara wanted to find local children’s salon but her search didn’t yield the results she hoped for. “There were no kids salons close by like there were in other places we had lived,” Sara shares.

Realizing the void in the marketplace, the Smiths decided to take action and fill it. They began looking at children’s salon franchises and Pigtails & Crewcuts immediately caught their eye. “We liked the look and feel of it. After speaking with Wade Brannon and Michelle Holliman at the franchise headquarters and visiting one of the locations in Colorado, we felt it was the best fit for us,” Robert shares, noting that the Brand, leadership, and support from the franchisor really helped seal the deal for their decision.

“We felt like they were poised for growth across the country and that this was a solid business decision,” Sara adds.

The Smiths agreed to a multi-salon deal and had plans to open their first salon in Castle Rock where no children’s salons existed. As they were looking for the perfect spot for Pigtails & Crewcuts in Castle Rock, they learned of another children’s salon that had recently closed in Parker. The salon had been in the area for years and they saw the newly vacant space as an opportunity for Pigtails & Crewcuts to meet a need in Parker, both in the marketplace and in the business community. During this process, the Smiths also had the opportunity to purchase the franchise’s Northfield-Stapleton salon, bringing the total number of Pigtails & Crewcuts salons in Colorado to five locations.

Once they secured the space in Parker, the Smiths were able to move quickly to transform it to take on the look and feel of Pigtails & Crewcuts with brightly colored walls, vehicle-shaped chairs, and plenty of books, movies, and video games. Paired with friendly stylists, this creates the perfect kid-friendly atmosphere you won’t find in an ordinary salon, and for Sara, that’s what it is all about.

“As a mom, I know giving kids a special, unique experience is important. That’s what we want for our kids. It’s a child-specific experience,” she explains.

In addition to haircuts, Pigtails & Crewcuts offers styling services, a retail section filled with children’s haircare products, accessories, and gifts, as well as a birthday party services with a dedicated party room.

The Smiths are excited to meet the needs of families in the area and make haircuts a more enjoyable experience for children and parents as the only children’s salon in Parker. They also look forward to growing the Pigtails & Crewcuts Brand in the Denver metro area. “We’ll open in Castle Rock sometime next year, and we’ll add an additional salon in Douglas County in the future,” Rob notes.

Pigtails & Crewcuts is located in Parker at 11290 S. Twenty Mile Road next to Panera Bread, facing Target. The salon is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 7 pm and Sundays from 9:30 am to 5 pm. For more information on the salon and its services, call 303-840-0318 or visit www.pigtailsandcrewcuts.com/parker/.

Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids is now open in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and ready to make haircuts fun and memorable for families in the surrounding area.

Owner Angel Putnam is excited to bring the Pigtails & Crewcuts experience to Winston-Salem and help turn the ordinary task of getting a haircut into something families with kids look forward to. Putnam, who also owns the Greensboro location, says her path to joining the franchise began as she was growing her own family. Prior to having children, she worked in retail and left that world to be a stay at home mom while her children were young. “Once they started school, I kind of felt lost so I started thinking about what I knew, which was kids,” she shares.

Determined to hone in on what she felt she knew best, Putnam decided to start researching franchises that offered services for children. Around the same time, she took her son to a local children’s salon for a haircut and thought while the concept was great, the experience was lacking. The visit inspired her to research other children’s salon franchises. When Pigtails & Crewcuts came up in her search, the sight of the bright and whimsical decor made her think “This is what you imagine when you walk into a kid-based business!”

Inspired by what she saw, Putnam called the franchise office and traveled to Atlanta to meet with the franchise leadership staff and visited local salons. She recalls the welcoming atmosphere as feeling “like home” and knew bringing Pigtails & Crewcuts to her community was the right choice. In early 2017, she opened the doors to her Greensboro salon.

Her decision to open a second location in Winston-Salem came partly out of the demand from her existing clients and partly because of her dream to grow her venture into a business her kids can one day join so they can grow the extended Pigtails & Crewcuts family together. “The family aspect is huge and means everything to me,” she shares. “I want our clients to understand they are like family to us. We want to know their names, the kids birthdays, what they dress up as on Halloween and how their day was at school.”

She also aspires to make strong connections with the local community, sharing that building and growing the community is also of importance to her. Much like the Greensboro salon, Putnam hopes to form partnerships with local schools and churches, as well as become another drop-off location for Backpack Beginnings, a program that supplies backpacks filled with the essentials for children in foster care.

“I grew up in and out of foster care and group homes, so the magic of being a child really has my heart. I want to help make their future brighter in any aspect I can,” Putnam says of her desire to continue her work with Backpack Beginnings.

Pigtails & Crewcuts Winston-Salem is located at 205 South Stratford Road, Unit H in The Towers, directly across the street from Thruway Center. The salon is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm, Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm, Sundays from 12 pm to 5 pm, and Mondays from 10 am to 6 pm, and is closed on Tuesdays. For more information on the salon and its services, visit pigtailsandcrewcuts.com/winstonsalem.

“I’m excited to see the new faces and grow the Pigtails & Crewcuts family,” Putnam says. “Come in and get to know us and experience the difference of Pigtails & Crewcuts. We blow bubbles, play ball and have fun all day long!”

Pigtails & Crewcuts will be making its grand debut in early December 2018 in Los Altos, CA. This kid-centric salon offers a unique, memorable experience for children of all ages in a convenient location in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Sisters-in-law, close friends, and now business partners, Reyna Patel and Sneha Bhavan, are excited to bring something new and much needed to the Peninsula. As moms of young, rambunctious boys, they realized the need for a kid-friendly salon tailored to children all while accommodating parents as well. “It was very hard for us to find a children’s salon where stylists had the patience and personality to handle my two boys,” said Reyna. She continues that “they hated getting haircuts and would constantly be on the move, which made our trip to the salon such an ordeal for everyone.”

Able to relate, as many parents can, Sneha experienced a similar situation with her son. “I vividly remember the time I took my son to a regular salon at the age of three. The sound of the buzzer close to his ears and swift movement of the scissors and combs coming at him from different directions was an experience that scared him. The stylist became aggravated as my son wouldn’t sit still, which didn’t help the already horrible experience.”

These traumatic experiences were the kickstarter that set these moms out on a new venture to find the right children’s hair salon. Realizing the immediate need for a children’s salon in the community, Reyna and Sneha began to research various options and franchises that would align with their own family values. This is when they discovered Pigtails & Crewcuts, a brand they both fell in love with from the start. Everything from the classy décor, a child-friendly environment and entertainment for kids to the strong franchise support and the ethical corporate practices, validated that this was the right choice for them.   

Pigtails & Crewcuts provides its young, often nervous clientele with fun activities to make the haircutting experience as smooth as possible, for both parents and children. The Los Altos salon will offer the same stress-free experience found at other Pigtails & Crewcuts locations. Children will be able to enjoy a variety of books, movies, toys, video games and choose a theme chair for their haircut. Friendly stylists are trained to handle the fears and tears of all children, including children with sensory issues. The salon will feature a retail section with specialized children’s hair products, accessories and gifts, as well as a private party room.

“It’s not loud. It’s comfortable and classy,” Sneha says of the Pigtails & Crewcuts Brand. “That’s what we liked and what we want to share with our community–a fresh new concept located in the heart of Silicon Valley.”

The salon will be located at 2310 Homestead Road, Suite C in Los Altos near Trader Joe’s and is expected to open in early December 2018. Grand opening festivities will be announced at a later date.
