  Pigtails & Crewcuts Franchise Business Opportunity — Franchise Gator.com
The traditional children's hairstyles of Pigtails & Crewcuts are making a fresh comeback - in the form of a 'cutting edge' hair boutique that makes getting a haircut a fun and entertaining experience for children.
Pigtails & Crewcuts was founded in 2002 by Nanette Adair, an Atlanta stay-at-home mom seeking a child-friendly place for her two young children to get a haircut.
Shortly after opening the first Pigtails & Crewcuts location in Atlanta, Adair was approached by Wade Brannon, an Atlanta father of three who loved Pigtails & Crewcuts so much that he bought the rights to franchise the concept nationwide.

 Offspring Expansion | Annotate
Crew will reintroduce its Crewcuts children’s collection for kids aged two to eight this spring, “after a short-lived run in the Nineties and some dabbling with a few small-fry styles in recent holiday catalogues.”
We are not doing this because we need to grow the company at this stage of development,” with the adult J. Crew far from its growth ceiling and seeing new products and more stores on the horizon.
Also, with the company’s lower scale approach, they will not bombard their consumers with this huge initiative, instead, the clothing will speak for itself, providing consumers with the unique, exclusive experience of coordinating their tiny tots’ look to their own.

 Ten Records That Shook The World
As the popularity of this recording on a new subsidiary label of the independent Atlantic began to zoom, a pale pop cover by the Canadian quartet The Crewcuts was quickly produced.
Enough of the general listening public were then unaware of this practice so that the Crewcuts version outsold the original as was the norm at this time in history.
This recording by the Chords was in a neutral safe zone-that is, assuredly in a R and B style but certainly had pop music shadings.

 1900s: the Way We Lived: Hairstyles | 100 Years of Pop Culture
Women wore curls held stiffly in place by permanents or hair spray or tall beehives so rigidly perfect that rumors abounded that nests of mice or bees lived inside.
There was a rebellious side to the 1950s, however, and while clean-cut American boys wore crewcuts, the rebel in the leather jacket no doubt sported a greased-back duck tail.
From the beatniks (see entry under 1950s—Print Culture in volume 3) of the early 1960s to the hippies (see entry under 1960s—The Way We Lived in volume 4) of the late 1960s and 1970s, young people began to question society's values.

Bright-eyed American youths with Ipana smiles and an unquestioned belief in a status quo, these "guys" sang the anthems of the post-war boom.
