BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Pigtails & Crewcuts, the kid-focused salon franchise, has announced that Rachel and Matt Brown have taken ownership of two existing locations in the Birmingham area. The salons are located at 700 Montgomery Highway, Suite 120, in Vestavia Hills and 2050 Gadsden Highway, Suite 127, in Birmingham near Trussville.
The Browns have three young children and had been taking their family to the Vestavia Hills salon for years when the opportunity to purchase the two locations came along. Already familiar with the brand, they were also encouraged by the experienced team and loyal customer base they would be taking over.
“We had been customers for three or four years, so we knew the business and enjoyed the experience,” Matt said. “We had seen the same people working there for years, and the core team hadn’t changed much. That was a big part of why we wanted to buy it.”
Rachel has worked as a teacher in the Birmingham area for about 20 years, while Matt has more than 20 years of experience in supply chain management and leadership roles. Matt also previously owned a franchise and had been looking for an opportunity to return to small-business ownership.
Pigtails & Crewcuts offered the Browns an opportunity to own a business focused on serving children and families. The franchise’s simple model and family-friendly operating hours also allow owners to manage their salons while maintaining time with their families.
Pigtails & Crewcuts is designed specifically for children, offering haircuts and salon services in an environment created with young guests in mind. The brand focuses on providing a positive experience for children while making visits to the salon easier for parents.
The Browns completed a week of training with Pigtails & Crewcuts after taking ownership. They also receive support from the franchise team in areas including marketing and social media and use Pigtails University for additional training.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rachel and Matt to the Pigtails & Crewcuts family,” said Michelle Holliman, VP of Franchise Development. “There is nothing more rewarding than seeing dedicated customers who already know and love our brand step into ownership. With their deep roots in the Birmingham community and their firsthand appreciation for the experience we provide families, we are confident they will do an incredible job building on the success of our Vestavia Hills and Trussville salons.”
Community involvement is also a priority for the Browns. They have donated to local PTOs, supported youth baseball and T-ball teams and become involved with the chambers of commerce in Vestavia Hills and Trussville. They plan to continue looking for opportunities to support local schools, organizations and charities.
“That's part of being a small-business owner — giving back,” Matt said. “We hope to continue to do that for years to come and just grow and be part of the community.”
The Browns are currently focused on operating the two Birmingham-area salons and continuing to serve their existing customers. They are also open to future expansion, either elsewhere in the Birmingham area or in another Alabama market.
“We want to be here a long time,” Matt said. “We want to grow, support the team, support the community and really make it something that everybody can be proud of.”
