The Children’s Haircare Industry
In the United States, forecasts show that revenues for hair care will increase up to 14.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2028. Pigtails & Crewcuts is one of the few salon concepts to expand aggressively on a national level. To add to that, there are an estimated 46.7 million kids between the ages of zero and 12 in the United States, and our target market is children in this age range.
Even during tough economic times, kids won’t stop growing and neither will their hair. Kids typically get haircuts every six to eight weeks, and we estimate that to be seven haircuts per year. No matter what or where the economy is, parents will spend money on great haircuts even when they need to take other things like eating out or buying clothes away from their budgets.
While there are many locally owned salons and a couple of chains of children’s salons on the market right now, none provide the scope of services, breadth of experience, and family-friendly atmosphere available at Pigtails & Crewcuts. Our experience and support is what sets us apart. Collectively, our leadership team has over 75 years of franchising experience!

Meet Our Franchisees
“Angel and I do not run our businesses exactly the same way but the way that we feel about them is very similar. It’s a constant support about everything, all day, every day. We just get each other. It is easy to connect with others who are in your same shoes each day, experiencing wins, and going through similar struggles.”
Dalia Wolf, Texas Franchise Owner
“I was looking for someone that could help guide me so to have Dalia and to see her strengths, to see her balance both so easily, to have her always be so open with me and just being there… she’s priceless. Furthermore, when you have a franchise office that knows you by name and not just a number in their world, it builds that connection to owners to build that same kind of wholesomeness with their staff. And so I feel like when you walk into Pigtails, you get that feeling of a small business family because there is a quality.”
Angel Putnam, North Carolina Franchise Owner

Meet Our Franchisees
"Everyone at Pigtails & Crewcuts has been fantastic. Juan’s meeting with Wade Brannon really solidified our decision to move forward with Pigtails. Our experience with the entire Pigtails & Crewcuts team has been positive. The franchise really cares about their franchisees and offers a variety of supports. I really appreciate how accessible our franchise specialist is and how welcoming and supportive senior franchisees are. The more seasoned owners are happy to share what has and hasn’t worked for them and provide advice when needed. It’s been a rewarding experience overall."
