Pigtails & Crewcuts

After spending time as a stay-at-home mom,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/angel-putnam-4521342b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=from-stay-at-home-mom-to-successful-franchisee-angel-putnams-journey-with-pigtails-crewcuts-2726376" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Angel Putnam</a> knew she wanted the next part of her journey to be a child-based business. When she came across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pigtailsandcrewcutsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=from-stay-at-home-mom-to-successful-franchisee-angel-putnams-journey-with-pigtails-crewcuts-2726376" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a>, she fell in love with the brand. From the colors to the concept to the corporate team — Putnam was sold. She and her husband quickly bought two Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts salons in North Carolina. “We hit the ground running,” Putnam said, “and it’s been amazing ever since."&nbsp;Having grown up in foster homes and group homes, Putnam has a big heart for the community and giving back.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts/info">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a> allows her the opportunity to do that. “Being able to make a difference and give back to our community, I think is why we have been so successful,” she said.&nbsp;1851 Franchise spoke to Putnam about her franchise journey and plans for the future.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us.&nbsp;What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Angel Putnam: I was a stay-at-home mom for five years. Before that, my entire background was retail — so, corporate America. My husband was also in corporate America.&nbsp;&nbsp;When our youngest hit kindergarten, I started thinking about what I was going to do next now that I had more free time. I love kids, absolutely adore kids. So I knew being a mom and I knew kids.&nbsp;So I started Googling and doing research on kids-based businesses. We looked at a few, but then stumbled upon Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts. I went and spent a week in Atlanta and I absolutely fell in love with the brand. The concept, corporate staff is phenomenal. They make people like family instantly, and that's something you want when you're investing a large chunk of money into something.&nbsp;So we hit the ground running and it's been amazing ever since. I have a big heart for community and giving back. I grew up in foster care and group homes, so we do a lot for the foster system here in North Carolina. Just being able to make a difference and give back to our community, I think is why we have been so successful.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Putnam: I really didn't give much thought to it. I've always been corporate America, you know? I've always been, “You work when you're told to work and you make numbers and meet all these goals for these big corporations,” so it never really hit me to think of starting our own business. But I knew, with the timeframe and the life that we wanted to be able to provide for our children, that my husband and I going back into corporate America was not an option. The work-life balance just wasn't there prior when we both did it, so we wanted something with flexibility and the franchising world gave us that opportunity. It allowed us to be able to build a financial future without sacrificing the time and the quality of life that we wanted our children to have by being able to be there for them. And we actually now homeschool our children. So buying into a franchise allowed us to build that perfect kind of work-life balance for our family that we would not be able to have otherwise.1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Putnam:&nbsp;What made me first fall in love with Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is, honestly, just the wholesomeness you get when you walk into one — the bright colors, the staff — it all kind of trickles down from our franchise office. 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.You get that small mom-and-pop feeling from the very tip-top down to every stylist that's in our salons, and our families feel that and our clients feel that. So that was the number one thing — the connection overall that Pigtails strives to give is one of a kind. And then, when you immerse yourself into the actual brand, it's just — you just walk in and you're like, “Oh my gosh.”We have a lot of competitors in the franchise world, but I really feel like we stand out because of our colors, the way that we are set up. Our corporate office trusts us as owners enough to build a business — still respecting the brands, but understanding that markets are different — and so they allow us the freedom to build a successful business that works in our market.1851: I understand that one of your goals with Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts was to provide a safe space for families with sensory sensitivities. Can you tell us a little bit about that?Putnam:&nbsp;Our salons were the first two in the nation to become sensory certified. Children really do hold a special part of my heart, so it's not just about being sensory safe to me — it truly is just about being a safe place for all children. Not everyone has a sensory issue — some kids just need a safe place — so for me, it's just making sure that we are always learning and growing and achieving new certifications and taking advantage of all programs that are out there to create that space for all children to be able to come into our salon, no matter their background. They're all just so cute and they're all safe with us and they're all meaningful, so to me, just making sure that we're always striving to be that space at all times and when programs become available — like sensory safe — it's our duty as a business to to participate in all of that. A lot of stylists will say working with kids is hard — and it is — so it's also about making sure I provide my team with the tools to continue to become their best. This allows us to continue to excel and be the best we can be for our amazing families.1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Putnam: Honestly, my major thing is I want to be able to continue to be the parents that we are for our children while building a financial future for them and being able to create a ripple of change in our community. One of my biggest mottos that I teach our team is that, as a small business, it is our responsibility to take care of the community that takes care of us. So being able to continue to build and grow those relationships and create change with other organizations in our community is huge.&nbsp;My personal goal for our company is to hit a million dollars this year. That's my life, but that's not the main focus on my goal line. It just happens to be one of them. In the end, maybe a third store, I'm not sure. I kind of balance a lot, but I don't think there's a stop for me. I like being able to see each year we achieve more and accomplish more, and so I like keeping my finish line moving.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Putnam:&nbsp;You write your own story. If you have a dream or you have a goal, you kind of have to set aside everything else and continue to write, keep pushing forward.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Putnam:&nbsp;Just do it! I talk to all of our potential franchise owners and I'm very honest with them. A lot of them will buy in and think that the business is just ready to go and they're going to be making money from day one, and it's not that. With any business, you get out of it what you put into it. I understand some people will not work as hard as my family and I do in their business. I mean, we're very hands-on, but you have to be able to make that culture. You have to be able to make sure your standards and expectations are in place before you say, “Now, let's open and be successful.” That's not the case. It is work, but overall, my number one thing I tell everyone is you get out of this business what you put into this business.About Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts:&nbsp;Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is a kid’s hair salon franchise designed with family in mind.

When people talk about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pigtailsandcrewcutsfranchise.com/">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a>, the children’s hair salon franchise, they usually start with the colorful environment or the kid-friendly experience. But behind the brand is something deeper — a culture built on kindness, service and genuine connection. For franchise owners like North Carolina-based&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/angel-putnam-4521342b/">Angel Putnam</a>, that culture isn’t an add-on. It’s the heart of the business."I donate close to 10 percent of my sales back into our community, with a special focus on supporting foster children and families," Putnam said. "Having grown up in foster care myself, I understand firsthand the challenges these children face, and giving back to them is deeply personal to me. My goal is to make their lives a little easier through school supply donations, clothing and food drives, toy collections, and other efforts that provide comfort, dignity and joy."<h2>Turning Personal Story Into Purpose</h2>Putnam says the salon gave her a platform to channel her own childhood experiences into something powerful and uplifting. "It’s my way of turning my story into purpose and using my business as a bridge for kindness and community support," she said.The results of that purpose show up in dozens of small but meaningful moments — the handwritten letters from families, the hugs at community events, the gratitude expressed by foster parents who feel seen and supported."Each one reminds me that what we do goes far beyond haircuts. It’s about the ripple of kindness and connection we get to be a part of," she said.&nbsp;<h2>A Culture Strengthened by Community</h2>For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-holliman-2132313/">Michelle Holliman</a>, Vice President of Franchise Development, franchisees like Putnam represent the very best of what&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts/info">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a> is meant to be."Being a part of and giving back to your community is one of our core values," she said. "We believe that owning a business isn't just about providing a service for your community. It's really being a part of your community. And that’s what we want our franchisees to embrace."Holliman says the brand tends to draw owners who want to do more than run a business. They see their salons as safe, welcoming spaces for every child, including those with sensory challenges or special needs. In her view, Putnam’s story is a clear example of that mindset in action."She gives back to her community because she understands what foster care children have to go through and the importance of feeling wanted and needed and finding a safe space," Holliman said.Holliman says that Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts encourages community involvement but doesn’t prescribe how franchisees should serve. As a result, owners often go above and beyond in creative and heartfelt ways. She pointed to examples like franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adelaide-aiken-msw-lcsw-bb90a466/">Adelaide Aiken</a> in Asheville, North Carolina, who turned her salon into a drop-off center after a hurricane left the city struggling for clean water.“They weren’t trying to provide haircuts,” Holliman said. “They were trying to provide supplies and comfort in their community. And because of that, the community supported them right back.”<h2>Purpose First, Profit Follows</h2>Putnam believes that weaving purpose into her business isn’t just meaningful — it’s smart, sustainable entrepreneurship."When I opened Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts, profit wasn’t my motivation — purpose was," she said. "Of course, understanding your numbers and budgeting wisely are essential parts of running a business, but true success goes far deeper than profit margins. When you pour into your community, your community pours back into you."&nbsp;That philosophy mirrors Holliman’s perspective on long-term success across the brand."It's something bigger than making money," Holliman said. "It's being a part of something. People want to leave a little bit of legacy whether it is showing kindness to the community or showing kindness to a specific family. Being compassionate about that family that has a child with special needs, being compassionate about somebody that can't afford a haircut, just understanding the needs and giving back."&nbsp;<h2>Leading With Love — One Child at a Time</h2>Putnam hopes her approach shows future franchisees that Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is more than a business model. It’s an opportunity to make a lasting, meaningful impact."I know I can’t change the entire world, but within my three feet of space, I can create a ripple of love, kindness and inclusion that reaches far beyond me. Using my business as a platform for good allows me to lead by example — for my children, my team, and my community — and to always love the way we’d want to be loved," she said.&nbsp;For Putnam — and for many Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts owners — the work goes far beyond haircuts. Their businesses have become a natural place to show up for their neighbors and care for the families who walk through the door.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/pigtailsandcrewcuts">1851franchise.com/pigtailsandcrewcuts</a>.&nbsp;

ATLANTA, Ga.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pigtailsandcrewcutsfranchise.com/">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a>, the kids’ salon franchise known for melding community connection with a proven business model, is closing out 2025 with strong momentum and an optimistic approach to the year ahead.&nbsp;“We grew double digits year over year, so I’m pleased with the unit economics for the brand as a whole," said Vice President of Franchise Development&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-holliman-2132313/">Michelle Holliman</a>. "We also celebrated our 20th anniversary this year. Everyone is excited about where we’re going and what we’ve accomplished. The franchisees understand that we’re in this with them and that we will continue to support them.”Strong systemwide performance, continued franchisee engagement and a growing developmental pipeline have positioned the brand for a confident step into 2026. As 2025 wraps up,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts/info">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a> is operating 86 salons in 26 states. Five more locations are expected to open early in 2026, a sign of growth and sustained franchisee interest. Beyond expansion, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts continues to deepen its involvement locally.“Giving back is one of our core values,” Holliman said. “We have a very close-knit franchise community. They talk daily, share ideas and experiences and get their staff involved. It brings hourly employees together as a unit.”Looking ahead to 2026, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is preparing to launch several key initiatives designed to support franchise owners while strengthening system operations. These include Pigtails University, a new training platform, along with improved marketing strategies tied to the brand’s point-of-sale system and continued refinements to its appointment-based model.&nbsp;In terms of further development, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts expects to award 12 to 15 new franchises next year, placing an emphasis on owners properly aligned with the chain’s values.&nbsp;“It’s not just about numbers. We want the right people who match our brand and core values. If we reach 100 units next year, that’s fantastic. But the people matter most,” Holliman said. “We’re always evolving and trying to be innovative. Franchisees are already bringing new ideas to the table. And that openness and flexibility is what makes us different.”As families continue to seek brands with a purpose worthy of their trust, Holliman believes Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is well-positioned for success in the long-term. Thanks to their strong fundamental values, engaged franchise owners and a proactive roadmap for the year ahead, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts enters 2026 focused on growth that’s not just meaningful but sustainable.“Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts has proven to be a recession-resistant brand, based on unit economics, community outreach and franchisees growing internally with additional units,” she said. “The model is proven. And we’re continuing to make it better.”About Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts&nbsp;Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is a kids' hair salon franchise designed with family in mind.

 A Year of Expansion, Heart and Momentum: Pigtails & Crewcuts Looks Ahead to an Even Brighter 2026

pigtails-crewcuts-2025-year-end-2026-franchise-vision

<a href="https://www.pigtailsandcrewcutsfranchise.com/">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a>, a kids’ hair salon franchise built around a premium, family-friendly experience, now has its eye on St. Louis, Missouri. The brand already operates in other Midwestern markets, but Missouri remains wide open, giving local entrepreneurs a chance to establish and grow the concept in a largely untapped area.“We have a number of hot target markets for brand expansion. And we believe St. Louis is a viable market because of its affluent areas and its untapped potential,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pigtails-and-crewcuts/info">Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts</a> Vice President of Franchise Development&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-holliman-2132313/">Michelle Holliman</a>. “Right now, I believe three to five locations in St. Louis is realistic based on research in competitive markets. Being first to market can be intimidating, but it also allows for multi-unit growth.”&nbsp;<h3>Targeting the Right Neighborhoods</h3>Providing strong support of franchise owners remains a Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts hallmark. The chain works at the local level to properly analyze and understand the market and the dynamics in play prior to launch. A data-driven approach drives site selection, with elements like income and the concentration of kids within about a 15-minute radius helping guide the process.&nbsp;When it comes to St. Louis, that data illustrates a market primed for both opportunity and future growth, ensuring new locations are well-positioned for success.“We collaborate closely with our franchise owners and take their local insight into account,” Holliman said. “Our goal is to place salons in areas that value the full experience we provide and can support a premium brand.”<h3>The Right Franchise Owner</h3>When it comes to potential franchise owners, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts targets those who are in alignment with the company’s values and who can operate within a proven, dependable system. Support for new franchisees is extensive. And hair care experience isn’t necessarily required to run a Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts franchise.“We look for owners who are coachable, community-minded, and ready to follow a system that works,” Holliman said. “They don’t need prior hair industry experience. Our owners come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, and we focus on leveraging their strengths.Support begins early in the process and continues well beyond opening day, with assistance ranging from demographic research and site selection to lease negotiations and operational training.<h3>Community Engagement = Success</h3>Community involvement has been a Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts cornerstone for over 20 years. While the business can be run in a semi-absentee fashion, dedicated ownership at the local level is important. Franchise owners who are active in local schools, philanthropic efforts or other community projects develop strong bonds at the local level, strengthening brand awareness.&nbsp;“We want owners to give back. Being involved locally generates awareness and supports the brand,” Holliman said. “We provide training on community engagement during initial and ongoing training. Community involvement is crucial.”<h3>Vision for Expansion</h3>While St. Louis presents promising immediate opportunity, Pigtails &amp; Crewcuts is looking ahead to an even bigger 2026.&nbsp;With 86 salons currently in operation in 25 states, the plan is to add even more. By conducting a thorough assessment of each market and working closely with franchise owners, the chain remains poised for continued growth, equipping local franchise owners with a strong system tweaked over the course of more than two decades and unparalleled support.“We emphasize franchise support — which is why we currently have 86 salons. Our goal for next year is 12 to 15 new locations. We grow at a pace that ensures we can support our franchisees,” Holliman said. “We have about a dozen salons in development and are aiming to reach 100 locations. Once we hit that milestone, we validate the brand and concept, moving beyond the emerging brand stage.”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>.
