There’s No Need to Sit Still at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead!

April 10, 2025 by cjennings

A Salon Built Just for Kids

Let’s face it – traditional salons weren’t made for wiggles, giggles, and occasional tears. But at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we celebrate the joyful chaos of childhood. From the décor to the services we offer, everything is designed to make children feel safe, entertained, and, most importantly, understood. We’ll never expect your child to sit still, and we know that a haircut should be a fun, relaxed, and positive experience from the moment they walk through our doors.

Vehicle Themed Styling Chairs

Gone are the days of boring salon chairs! Little ones can hop into a fun car, fire truck, or jeep while our stylists work their magic. Sitting in one of our themed chairs turns getting a haircut into a fun adventure.

Movies and Games Galor

We have fun children’s movies playing to keep your little ones calm and engaged. We also have a Nintendo Switch ready and waiting to keep older kids entertained!

Dumdums and Animal Crackers

A little treat goes a long way. We offer dumdums and animal crackers to our tiny guests to help them feel at ease and add a little sweetness to their visit.

Fun Train Station & Toy Chest

Before or after the haircut, kids can explore our train station play area—a big hit with curious minds and busy hands. And after they’re all styled up, each child gets to pick a prize from our toy chest to celebrate their bravery!

A Sensory Friendly Experience

We understand that every child is unique, and so is their experience in the salon. Some may be excited, some unsure, and others may have sensory sensitivities that make haircuts especially challenging. That’s why we’ve created a sensory-safe environment that focuses on patience, flexibility, and understanding.

Here at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead:

We never expect children to sit still at our salon.

We recognize that every child reacts differently to the haircut experience.

We move at your child’s pace, allowing time to explore, play, and feel comfortable.

Many of our stylists are trained to work with all types of personalities and sensitivities, and they genuinely love what they do.

It’s Not Just a Haircut. It’s an Experience.

We’re proud to be more than just a salon—we’re a place where kids feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether your child is eager for their trim or a little nervous, we’re here to make it a fun and safe experience that leaves them smiling (and you, too).

Come visit us at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead! We can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

Top 7 Trendy Boys’ Hairstyles for the Spring and Summer Seasons

March 27, 2025 by cjennings

Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to give your little guy a fresh, fun, and functional haircut. Whether he’s running around with friends or spending the day outdoors, the right hairstyle can keep him comfortable, stylish, and ready for adventure. From classic cuts to bold styles, here are the top 7 boys’ hairstyles for the warmer months, including one that’s been making a major comeback!

The Textured Top with Short Sides

This style combines the best of both worlds — short sides with a little more length on top for added texture. The textured top can be styled in a variety of ways, from spiked to tousled, allowing your child to express his personality. It’s a relaxed, easygoing cut that’s still stylish enough for any occasion.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
The textured top adds a bit of volume without feeling heavy, while the short sides keep things neat and manageable. It’s great for both casual and more dressed-up looks.

The Caesar Cut

The Caesar cut is a timeless and versatile option that works well for boys of all ages. With short, even layers and a fringe that falls straight across the forehead, this cut provides a clean, neat look while still offering a bit of style. It’s low-maintenance, making it perfect for active kids who want a fuss-free style that still looks sharp.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
The Caesar cut keeps hair short and out of the face, which is especially ideal for the hot spring and summer days. It’s a great option for boys who want to stay cool without sacrificing style, as the fringe keeps hair off the forehead while still offering a polished appearance.

The Side Part

For a more polished look, the side part with a comb-over is a classic choice. The hair is neatly parted on one side, and the top is combed over for a smooth, clean look. This style can be worn with short sides or with a little length for a more textured look. It’s a great option for boys who want a neat appearance with just the right amount of style.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
The side part with a comb-over is versatile and works for both school days and special occasions. It’s easy to manage and keeps hair out of the face, making it a great choice for active boys.

The Buzz Cut

The buzz cut is the ultimate in low-maintenance hairstyles, and it’s perfect as the weather starts to warm up. With very short, evenly trimmed hair all around, this cut is fuss-free and easy to keep looking sharp. It’s especially ideal for boys who want a clean and crisp appearance with minimal upkeep.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
This ultra-short style is perfect for staying cool in the heat and requires virtually no styling or maintenance. Plus, it’s great for an active lifestyle!

The Mullet

Yes, you read that right — the mullet is back, and it’s cooler than ever! With short sides and a longer, shaggier back, the mullet is making a comeback in a big way. It’s a bold and unique look, perfect for boys who want to stand out and embrace their individual style. You can keep the top a bit shorter for a modern twist on this retro cut, or leave it longer for full-on mullet glory.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
This style has a fun, rebellious vibe and can be styled effortlessly.

The Long Shag

For boys who want to embrace a more relaxed, carefree look, the long shag is a fantastic option. With layers of varying lengths, this cut gives a playful, textured vibe that’s perfect for those who love a more laid-back style. The longer length on top can be styled messy or with a bit of volume.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
The shag works well for boys with naturally wavy or textured hair, allowing them to embrace their natural look without the extra heat of longer, heavier hair. It’s easy to maintain and gives a relaxed vibe for the summer.

The Slicked-Back Style

The slicked-back style is ideal for boys who want a more refined, sleek look. With short sides and longer hair on top, the hair is combed back smoothly for a sharp, sophisticated appearance. This cut is perfect for boys who prefer a more polished, controlled style.

Why it’s great for warmer months:
The sleek back keeps hair off the face and neck, which is especially helpful during the heat. Plus, the shorter sides prevent the hair from feeling heavy, making it comfortable for active kids.

No matter your child’s style, we have the perfect spring or summer haircut to showcase his unique personality. From timeless classics to the latest trends, our range of styles will keep your little one looking fresh and stylish all season long. Whether he’s drawn to the bold volume of a mohawk or the sleek finish of a side part, we’ll customize each haircut to match his individual flair.

At our children’s hair salon, we’re dedicated to providing a fun, comfortable, and kid-friendly experience. Our expert stylists are committed to giving your son the perfect cut — one that’s easy to maintain and fun to wear. We understand that every child is different, and we make sure the entire haircut experience is enjoyable for them.

How to Prepare Your Child for Their First Haircut Experience

February 26, 2025 by cjennings

Your child’s first haircut is a major milestone, and at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we’re committed to making it a fun and memorable experience. Whether it’s easing any nerves or celebrating the special moment, our team ensures that your child’s first haircut is a positive event that paves the way for many more happy visits to our salon.

Talk About It in Advance

Starting the conversation ahead of time can help your child understand what’s going to happen and get comfortable with the idea. Keep it simple and positive—mention how fun and exciting it will be to sit in a special chair and get a haircut just like mom or dad. You can even tell them about the cool things they’ll get to experience, like watching their favorite movies or playing with fun toys while they wait. This helps build excitement instead of fear.

Pick the Right Time & Set Expectations

Timing is key to ensuring a smooth experience. Schedule your child’s first haircut when they’re well-rested and in a good mood, avoiding times when they might be tired, hungry, or stressed. Once the appointment is set, talk to your child about what will happen. Explain that they’ll sit in a special chair, the stylist will carefully trim their hair, and they’ll be done before they know it. Let them know there will be fun distractions like cartoons or music to keep them entertained. The more they understand what to expect, the more comfortable they’ll feel.

Explain What Will Happen and Stay Positive

Explain to your child that they’ll sit in a fun chair, the stylist will carefully cut their hair, and there will be entertaining distractions like cartoons to keep them relaxed. As you go through the process, stay calm and positive—your child will sense your mood. By maintaining a cheerful and confident attitude, you’ll help them feel more comfortable and turn the experience into a fun and enjoyable moment.

Offer a Special Treat

To make the experience even more exciting, we offer a few treats for your little one! After their haircut, they can choose a toy from our toy chest, which is always stocked with fun surprises. We also have an extensive retail section filled with a variety of toys to make your child’s visit even more special. Plus, we love to give our little guests a Dum-Dum lollipop during or after their cut as a sweet reward for being so brave. It’s all part of making your child’s first haircut a memorable experience!

Keep the First Cut as a Memory

Your child’s first haircut is a special milestone, and at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we make it unforgettable. Our “First Haircut Package” includes a keepsake card, a photo, and a lock of hair to commemorate the occasion.
