Overview
The Hair Cuttery business was built on a simple yet dynamic
mission
statement:
We are committed to doing whatever it takes within our values and financial resources to wow and delight our internal and external customers and have fun while we're doing it.
We understand that the success of our company depends on the success of our Stylists. We're a large organization that strives to focus on the well-being and education of every one of our 10,000 Stylists. That's why we offer them a lot of creative freedom, plenty of growth opportunities and a work environment where fun and individuality flourish. We only have happy clients if we have happy Stylists.
At Hair Cuttery, success comes from putting Stylists first and supporting our five core values:
All decisions we make must be based on what we call a Win-Win-Win philosophy. A decision should be a win for Associates, a win for customers, and a win for the financial health of the company.

Training & Support
Site Selection
Our highly qualified real estate development team will help you choose the right location for your Hair Cuttery salon, taking into account financial modeling, demographic analysis, lease negotiations and relationships with real estate developers.
Layout and Interior Decor
One of the elements that constitutes a professional appearance is a consistent look from salon to salon. Over the years we’ve developed a unique salon image that projects the expertise and quality of our brand, our people and our operation, and sets us apart from other value-oriented salons. Our construction team will provide you with design specifications that create good traffic flow for both Associates and customers alike. Project management assistance is optional.
Comprehensive Training
There’s no better way to learn how a salon runs than to have a hands-on experience. So we’ll provide you with training in an actual salon environment. Our comprehensive program includes cultural, business success, salon operations and salon management systems training. In addition, we’ll provide initial and ongoing technical training in cuts, color, texture and style. Class work and our operations manual—a comprehensive resource—will complement your on-site training with design specifications that create good traffic flow for both Associates and customers alike. Project management assistance is optional.
Marketing
Advertising campaigns and public relations programs have been an integral part of our success. Our marketing team and advertising agency work together to develop a Hair Cuttery image and brand, and we’ll work with you, too. We have a time-tested, proven grand opening program and effective marketing strategy. Our marketing department is available to assist with your local media planning and buying, creative development, promotions and in-salon materials.
Product & Merchandising
We’ll give you the tools to sell salon products through proven up-sell and add-on techniques. We’ll also help with loss prevention and inventory management, along with merchandising and point of sale (POS) materials. You will benefit from purchasing products through Hair Cuttery at our negotiated cost, which is a significant discount, versus purchasing through a distributor. The bottom line is more profit for you.

Why Hair Cuttery?
When my partner Ann and I opened the first
Hair Cuttery over 30 years ago, it was with a specific vision.
As entrepreneurs at heart, we wanted to be in business for ourselves
and, as Stylists, the biggest opportunity seemed to be in the
haircare industry. We introduced the Washington, DC area to a
revolutionary, new brand of full-service salons where clients
could walk in and have their hair cut, colored or permed with
no appointment. Now we’ve grown to nearly
1,000 Hair Cuttery locations providing more than 17 million services
annually.
While the reasons for our success are many, the key is our unusually strong relationship with our Stylist community. It's what differentiates us from the other value salon chains. We have one of the highest Associate retention levels in the haircare industry among our 10,000 Stylists, which translates into loyal customers. We call this approach our Win-Win-Win philosophy. Happy Stylists = happy customers = a healthy, profitable business.
