ODESSA, Fla. — Pigtails & Crewcuts, the award-winning kids’ salon franchise, is opening a new location in Odessa.

The opening comes as Pigtails & Crewcuts continues to grow. The franchise reported double-digit year-over-year growth in 2025 and works with franchisees who share its focus on quality, respect and creating a welcoming experience for families.

“We were immediately drawn to Pigtails & Crewcuts because the brand’s values aligned perfectly with our own,” said Rachel Breejen, who co-owns the location with her husband, Matt. After 15 years in talent acquisition and recruiting, Rachel was ready to leave the corporate world and build a business of her own. As a mother and Odessa-area resident, she also saw a need for a kid-focused salon closer to home.

Pigtails & Crewcuts is designed to be fun for kids and manageable for the people who own it. Straightforward operations and family-friendly hours give franchisees the chance to build a business without giving up time with their own families.

“Once I started exploring this industry more seriously, I looked into several different children’s salon concepts. Pigtails & Crewcuts immediately stood out,” Rachel said. “Their branding and overall look felt clean, professional and thoughtfully designed. I realized it was an opportunity to completely pivot — to make a meaningful change in my life and take ownership of my future. I wanted a career path that allowed me to build something of my own, have flexibility for my personal life and still grow professionally. As a mom, that balance matters to me.”

As Pigtails & Crewcuts eyes its next phase of growth, including a goal of reaching 100 salons within the next year, the brand is actively seeking community-driven partners in markets like Tampa and Miami.

“Our growth is rooted in finding the right partners who believe that the people matter most,” said Michelle Holliman, Vice President of Franchise Development. “Pigtails & Crewcuts is a recession-resistant brand because we provide a necessary service with a heart. We are thrilled to welcome Rachel and Matt to our close-knit franchise community and look forward to seeing them establish the premier kids’ salon destination in Odessa.”
