## Story

**EAST HANOVER, N.J.** — Pigtails & Crewcuts, the award-winning 80-plus-location kids’ salon franchise known for its 20-year legacy of excellence, is adding another New Jersey location with a new kids’ salon opening in East Hanover by the end of 2026. The salon, located at 240 Route 10, Unit 12, joins an award-winning franchise that has spent 20 years growing to more than 80 locations across 25 states.

Pigtails & Crewcuts reported double-digit year-over-year growth in 2025. As the franchise continues to expand, it is looking for owners who share its commitment to treating people with respect, creating a fun and compassionate environment and providing consistent service to families.

“We were immediately drawn to Pigtails & Crewcuts because the brand’s values aligned perfectly with our own,” said Brent West, who co-owns the new location with his wife, Jasmine. Brent has worked in technology for more than 20 years, while Jasmine has a background in human resources and business development. The couple first found Pigtails & Crewcuts when they were looking for a place to cut their oldest son’s hair.

Pigtails & Crewcuts offers more than a kid-friendly salon experience. Its straightforward business model and convenient operating hours are also designed with franchise owners in mind, giving them more time to spend with their families.

“With my background in human resources and business development, I’ve always been passionate about creating supportive spaces and strong community connections,” said Jasmine. “As parents ourselves, family is at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to give back to the East Hanover community by providing a welcoming, stress-free salon environment where both children and parents can feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for every visit.”

As Pigtails & Crewcuts eyes its next phase of growth, including a goal of reaching 100 salons in 2026, the brand is actively seeking community-driven partners in markets like Tampa and Miami.

“Our growth is rooted in finding the right people 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 Brent and Jasmine to our close-knit franchise community and look forward to seeing them establish the premier kids’ salon destination in East Hanover.”
