According to<a href="https://www.americansalon.com/business/5-questions-wade-brannon-ceo-pigtails-crewcuts?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> American Salon</a>, CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/wade-brannon-a1553418/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wade Brannon</a> discovered the original&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts/info">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a> salon in Atlanta while visiting with his own children, immediately recognizing its franchise potential."I was immediately struck by how different it was from any other kids' haircut experience. There was no crying, no stress — just laughter and smiles," Brannon told American Salon. "The chairs were shaped like airplanes and fire trucks, the walls were bright and cheerful, and the team knew how to work with kids.... I saw the potential."Brannon, who previously helped grow food retail franchise Heavenly Ham to over 230 locations before its sale to Honey Baked Ham in 2002, acquired the Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts brand in 2004. His experience in franchise development proved invaluable as he built the children's salon concept into what has now become an 80-plus-unit franchise operation.<h3>Recent Growth and Market Position</h3>The first quarter of 2025 has been particularly successful for the franchise, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prweb.com/releases/pigtails--crewcuts-kicks-off-2025-with-3-new-openings-milestone-celebrations-and-continued-franchise-growth-302424201.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">new salon openings</a> in Morrisville, North Carolina; Teaneck, New Jersey; and Barboursville, West Virginia. Additionally, nine franchisees renewed their agreements, demonstrating strong franchisee satisfaction and engagement."We are a very healthy franchise system, to the extent where franchisees actively want to continue and expand their partnerships," said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-holliman-2132313/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michelle Holliman</a>, Vice President of Franchise Development.This growth comes at a time when the overall U.S. hair salon market is estimated to be worth approximately $53.7 billion, with consistent annual growth of about 3.03%. Within this competitive landscape, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts has carved out a distinctive niche by focusing exclusively on children's haircuts with a fun, stress-free environment.<h3>Inclusive Service Model</h3>One of the franchise's most notable distinctions is its commitment to creating welcoming environments for all children, including those with special needs and sensory sensitivities. This commitment has become a core part of the brand's identity.The franchise's stylists receive specialized training to work with children who may need extra time and attention during haircuts, and many locations offer special hours specifically for clients whose children have&nbsp;<a href="https://pigtailsandcrewcuts.com/stylechat/haircuts-for-kids-with-special-needs-sensory-differences/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">special needs or sensory differences</a>.<h3>The Future of Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</h3>As the franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary, it's planning a national franchise conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, in October with the theme "Back to the Future". With the company on track to surpass 100 locations, Brannon remains enthusiastic about the future.For a franchise that began with a simple observation of a better way to cut children's hair, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts' two decades of growth demonstrates the power of a well-executed concept that meets a specific market need while delivering exceptional service to all children.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.americansalon.com/business/5-questions-wade-brannon-ceo-pigtails-crewcuts?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=american-salon-pigtails-crewcuts-ceo-celebrates-20-years-of-franchising-success-in-childrens-hair-salon-market-2729274" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts">https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts</a>.&nbsp;
