5 Reasons for Hair Stylists to Join Our Children’s Haircut Salon in Smyrna, GA

February 22, 2023 by khenre Leave a Comment

Why become a children’s hair stylist in Smyrna, Georgia?

The answer is simple if you want an opportunity that offers a balanced lifestyle doing something you love. And you can have fun and shine without extra demands. When you join the Pigtails and Crewcuts family, you’ll join a strong business that shares your values.

Here are 5 reasons to consider joining our haircut salon as a children’s hair stylist.

1. Family

We love children, period. Our business is deeply family oriented. When owner Wade Brannon took his children to the original Pigtails & Crewcuts salon, they had such a great experience that Wade immediately saw the opportunity. He knew he could grow a business based on family values.

If you love children and being part of a family, you’ll love our salons. Children are at the core of everything we do. We designed a safe, welcoming, engaging environment that moms, dads, and kids love. From our play area to TV shows and movies, from themed chairs and plenty of toys, kids have fun in our salons. Sometimes they hardly notice the haircut.

Adult salons are not for kids. Nothing in an adult salon speaks to young children. But at Pigtails and Crewcuts, everyone speaks kid. We work hard to ensure that every child enjoys their experience starting with our Kids First Haircut Package.

If you are a caring and honest person with a positive outlook, we want to meet you!

2. Flexiblity

We offer our stylists a flexible family-friendly schedule. Not only do we love children, but we love working moms and dads, too. We believe in families so much that we built work-life balance into our core values.

If you appreciate honesty and fairness, and want to work for a business with integrity, then you’ll feel at home here. Everyone pulls together with the same goal of making every child feel comfortable and special.

You’ll enjoy limited family friendly hours. You can choose to work full-time or part-time, but never overtime and no late nights or bleary-eyed mornings.

3. Focus

Although we do basic haircuts for parents who want to join their kids, we do not offer adult hair services. We keep the focus on the kids. You won’t have to learn crazy technical stuff, color or perms, or the tools adult salons use.

Our focus is on the simple things: family, fun, and great haircuts. Kids leave our salons happy and looking fabulous because we stay focused on the goal. All of our stylists are licensed professionals who earn competitive compensation.

4. Fun

If you aren’t having fun at your current job, why are you doing it? Pigtails and Crewcuts is a fun place to work! We even built fun into the design and colors of our salons.

If you want to play instead of work and can relate to kids on their level, you’ll have the time of your life when you join us.

Kids and parents can relax and have fun because our staff knows how to have a good time and how to share it with our customers. Every day is different and exciting, and you’ll never get bored.

5. The Best Haircut Experience

Because we focus on kids, families and children get the best haircut experience. If you believe in that goal, we welcome you to become part of our family. We want you to be successful and we have the leadership and values to support you.

Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of children and families in Smyrna and Vinings through a simple haircut, living our values, and giving back to the community.

Join Our Family

We invite you to join the Pigtails and Crewcuts family. If you want to work in a place that feels like home, then reach out today or stop by a salon and see the action for yourself. This might be the perfect job for you!

Sweetheart Braids for Valentine’s Day

February 13, 2023 by khenre Leave a Comment

Whether it is a Daddy-Daughter Dance or a party at school, we love any excuse to get dolled up. Below are some easy and sweet styles that will make anyone feel like a fierce, loveable princess.

Be sure to check out our YouTube channel and other posts for more fun tutorials.

Twist Wrap Ponytail

What You’ll Need

Comb or brush
Spray bottle
Hair elastics
Hairspray (optional)

Create the Ponytail – Pull the hair back into a ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic.
NOTE: You can section off a small piece of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the hair elastic to hide it from view.
Making a Rope Twist – Separate a small section of hair from one side of the ponytail and split it into two. Begin twisting each strand, separately, towards the right. To create the rope twist, take the two twisted strands and twist them around each other towards the left. Continue this all the way down and secure with a hair elastic.

Next, grab a small section of hair from the opposite side of the ponytail and repeat the steps above to create another rope twist. Secure the rope twist with a hair elastic.

With the untwisted hair remaining in the ponytail, you will start to create a rope twist and secure it with a hair elastic. You should now have two small rope twists on and a larger rope twist in the center.
Intertwine – Holding the larger rope twist and the right rope twist, wrap the right rope twist around the larger once, following the twist pattern.

Now take the left rope twist and wrap it around the larger rope twist once.

Continue alternating the wrapping until you get to the end of the larger rope twist. Secure with a hair elastic.

Finish off with hairspray to tame any frizz or flyaways!
Optional: Add a cute hair bow at the end.

Side Banded Ponytail

What You’ll Need:

Parting Comb
Leave-in conditioner
Bright, multicolor hair elastics
Detangling spray (for 2nd or 3rd days)

Section the Hair – Brush all hair to one side. Part a small section horizontally near the front of the head. Smooth the hair down and apply leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture.
Create Small Banded Ponytails – Begin with the small section. Using the parting comb, section a small section and secure it with a hair elastic. Add hair elastics down small, horizontal sections of hair as you move down the ponytail, and secure each part with different colors of hair elastic. Detangle each section as you work.

Continue with as many rows as preferred.
Combine the Sections – Now combine the remaining, unsecured sections into a larger ponytail and secure. Take the banded ponytails and secure them to the larger ponytail. Add a cute hair bow or accessory to the bottom of the ponytail.

Bubble Braid

This is a great, low-maintenance, high-glam look that is great for most hair types.

What You’ll Need:

Comb or brush
Hair elastics
Hairspray (Optional)

Create a Ponytail – Pull the hair back into a ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic.
Add More Hair Elastics – Wrap another hair elastic a few inches down your ponytail. Continue adding elastics all the way down the ponytail. Depending on the length of hair, keep the elastics spaced evenly.
Making Bubbles – With all the hair elastics in place, use your fingers to tease, tug and pull at each section (not too much). Continue teasing each section.

Finish off with hairspray to tame any frizz or flyaways!

Optional: Using a leave-in conditioner on damp hair will help reduce breakage or strain from leaving the hair elastics in for a longer period of time.

Optional: Try making bubble braid pigtails.

Kids First Haircut Package: Mama, No More Haircut Drama in Buckhead

February 13, 2023 by khenre Leave a Comment

Hey Mama, there’s no more drama when you take your child to Pigtails & Crewcuts in Buckhead for their first haircut. With our First Haircut Package, we’ve perfected the art of the child’s first haircut. We guarantee a wonderful experience and are sure you’ll become a regular customer.

A Mother’s Worry

Mom’s worry about that first haircut. When’s the right time? How will my child react? Will the salon really care for my baby? Will there be a meltdown?

Don’t be intimidated or dread the day. While it can be scary for you and for your kid, fear not. You have found the right place. When you walk in the door, you’ll feel the special energy of caring and fun. Our salon is not a mini version of an adult salon. It was built with children front and center.

When you make an appointment, you’ll have a spot waiting for you. Your kid can choose a custom-themed chair, like a fire truck or a police car, made specifically for children. They can play with the steering wheels and magnetic toys or watch TV and movies to keep them engaged. We can use a booster seat if needed.

We love children and everyone on our staff knows how to make them comfortable and interact with them appropriately.

Capture the Moment

The first haircut should be a calm memorable experience, not one marked with tears. We created the First Haircut Package with this in mind.

When you arrive, we’ll talk with you about your child, their hair, and any issues they might have. Our professional staff works with kids as young as two months. We are all sensitive to your child’s needs, and we want their experience to be enjoyable.

Your child will have a great time, get a great haircut, and go home with a toy they choose from our treasure chest. You’ll have a happy kid and receive a personalized keepsake card with:

your baby’s name
haircut date
cute photo
locket of hair

Join Our Family

We invite your family to join our family in building a relationship based on trust, integrity, and our mutual love of children. A great haircut experience comes from caring and making connections with your child. We offer a professional, safe, and unique experience for both mom and child and hope to exceed your expectations.

Pigtails & Crewcuts Franchise Acquired a Second Salon, 7 Miles from their Location in Buckhead, GA

February 6, 2023 by khenre Leave a Comment

Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids franchise, which is headquartered in Atlanta, recently announced they are now operating two salon locations. The franchise decided to acquire the Pigtails & Crewcuts located in the Smyrna area off Cumberland Parkway.

“Our franchise now has two locations – Buckhead and Smyrna,” says Vice President of Franchise Support, Theresa Vona. “Taking on a second location allows us to provide our salon staff with growth opportunities that were not available when we had one salon.”

The Pigtails & Crewcuts Franchise has run the Buckhead salon since 2015 and acquired the Smyrna salon in 2022. A new management structure was implemented with a shared staff among the two salon locations. This model of management will benefit the Smyrna location by establishing a sense of longevity with employee promotions and restructuring.

The Smyrna location has increased the number of days the salon is open, with which the Buckhead staff will be able to assist. “It’s a new challenge for us,” says Vona. “We want to translate the success we’ve seen at Buckhead into the Smyrna salon. We’re now open more and offer more services, like ear piercing.”

While the Smyrna salon has new management, the Pigtails & Crewcuts experience parents and children have grown to love over the years will remain the same. The salon is staffed with stylists who love working with children and families. It also still features the brand’s signature bright colors, whimsical décor, themed vehicle chairs, kid-friendly hair products, movies and Nintendo games to keep kids occupied throughout their haircuts.

Pigtails & Crewcuts Smyrna is located at 2355 Cumberland Parkway, Suite 100. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and Sundays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
