Fall & Winter Haircuts for Girls at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead

October 22, 2025 by cjennings

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to refresh your little one’s hairstyle for the cooler seasons! At Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we love helping girls find fun, stylish, and practical haircuts that are perfect for fall and winter.

Whether you’re gearing up for family photos, holiday events, or just cozy days at home, here are a few of our favorite seasonal styles for girls:

Long Layers

For those who love keeping their length — but want a little extra shape and style!

Long layers are a go-to for girls who want to keep their hair long while still adding movement, bounce, and manageability. This style works beautifully on all hair types — whether straight, wavy, or curly — and helps prevent that heavy, weighed-down look that can come with long hair. Layers allow the hair to flow naturally, making brushing and styling easier, especially on busy school mornings.

For a trendy seasonal update, consider adding curtain bangs, side-swept fringe, or face-framing pieces to bring attention to the eyes and soften the overall look. It’s also great for kids who like to wear their hair in ponytails, braids, or half-up styles, as the layers give the hair more dimension and style without needing constant effort.

The Curly Bob

A cute, bouncy look for curly-haired girls — with lots of easy styling options!

The curly bob is a go-to style for girls with natural curls or waves who want something fun, fresh, and manageable. This cut is typically shaped just above the shoulders, with light layering to enhance curl definition and create a rounded, voluminous silhouette. It’s especially great for minimizing tangles and keeping curls looking their best with minimal fuss — a big win for parents!

One of the best things about the curly bob is its styling flexibility. It looks adorable worn loose and natural, but it can also be slicked back with a soft brush and a bit of leave-in conditioner or lightweight gel — a great trick for school mornings, dance class, or holiday family photos. It’s the perfect balance of personality and practicality.

The Blunt Cut with Bangs

Straight, sleek, and so chic!

The blunt cut with bangs is a bold, stylish choice that brings a polished and modern look to any outfit — from school uniforms to holiday dresses. This haircut features straight-across ends with no layers, which gives the hair a clean, strong shape. Paired with a full fringe (bangs) that sit just above the eyebrows, the overall look is sharp, symmetrical, and super trendy.

It’s especially great for girls with naturally straight or slightly wavy hair, as the style is easy to maintain and always looks neat. For those with thicker hair, the ends can be slightly texturized to reduce weight while keeping the sleek shape. Whether worn loose, clipped back, or accessorized with a cute headband, this cut always looks photo-ready.

The Braided Flow

A playful and practical haircut that pairs soft, long layers with subtle braided accents. The Braided Flow is perfect for girls who like to wear their hair down but also want a little texture and flair. It gives plenty of styling options — from quick side braids to half-up braided crowns — while keeping the overall shape easy to manage.

Cold Weather Hair Tips for Parents

Moisturize: Use a gentle conditioner or leave-in spray to fight dry air.

Protect hair at night: A loose braid or satin pillowcase helps prevent tangles.

Hats + Hair = Static! Use a detangling spray or light oil to keep flyaways down.

Trim time! Cold weather can make ends dry — regular trims keep hair healthy and happy.

Stress-Free Morning Hair Routines for Busy School Days

July 31, 2025 by cjennings

Simple Hair Tips to Make Mornings Easier for You and Your Kids

Back-to-school season is full of excitement—but we all know school mornings can get a little chaotic. Between packing lunches, finding that missing shoe, and trying to leave the house on time, hair can quickly become a last-minute frustration.

At Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we understand how important it is to help kids feel confident and look great—without turning your mornings into a battle. That’s why we’re sharing our favorite tips for creating a stress-free hair routine that works for even the busiest families.

Start with a Great Cut

The best way to simplify any hair routine is with a fresh, well-shaped haircut. A proper cut makes styling faster, keeps hair healthier, and can eliminate those morning tangles and tears.

Our stylists at Pigtails & Crewcuts specialize in kid-friendly haircuts that are easy to maintain and tailored to your child’s hair type and lifestyle.

Tip: Schedule trims every 6–8 weeks to keep hair neat and manageable all season long.

Wash Hair the Night Before

Skip the morning rush by washing your child’s hair at night. Let it air dry or loosely braid it before bed to reduce frizz and tangles by morning. This small shift can save you several precious minutes each day.

For curly or textured hair: Use a leave-in conditioner or silk bonnet overnight to help maintain moisture and shape.

Keep the Right Tools & Products Handy

A quality detangling spray, wide-tooth comb, or smoothing brush can turn hair time into a quick, tear-free part of your routine. Having the right products can cut down on time and frustration.

Need recommendations? We carry a selection of gentle, kid-approved products at our Buckhead salon—perfect for all hair types.

Let Kids Take The Lead

Even younger children can get involved by brushing their hair, choosing their own bow, or helping apply detangler. Encouraging independence not only builds confidence, it also saves time in the long run.

Bonus Tip: Prep for Special Days in Advance

If school picture day, spirit week, or the first day back is coming up, book a quick styling session or trim at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead. We’ll help your child look and feel their best for those big moments—while giving you one less thing to worry about.

Let's Make School Mornings Smoother

From first-day confidence to everyday convenience, a solid hair routine can make a big difference. At Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we’re here to help with kid-friendly haircuts, styling tips, and the products you need to keep mornings moving.

Book your appointment today and make school-day mornings something to smile about!

We’ll be updating our selection regularly, and we welcome gently used children’s books if you’d like to contribute to our growing collection.

This is just one more way we’re hoping to make your visits to our salon even more enjoyable—and to help build a stronger, more connected community through reading.

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!
