History

Established in 2008.

Back in 1993, Joanna Meiseles sought a hair salon that catered to her young children. But instead of a salon, she discovered a business opportunity. That’s because at each hair salon she visited, she either found (1) stylists not wanting to deal with wiggling, squirming kids (2) suboptimal cleanliness standards, or (3) little or no originality in the design — a few books, crayons, a toy here and there or maybe a video (the same one your kid has probably watched a thousand times at home) — nothing innovative. Joanna knew there had to be a better way to crop kid’s hair while entertaining, so that kids would be captivated rather than tearful, and parents would be fascinated rather than fearful.

Even before launching her first Snip-​its salon in 1995, Meiseles knew she wanted to create a brand that would be synonymous with quality children’s hair care, all surrounded within a welcoming and entertaining environment. Everything about Snip-​its would be proprietary and wholesome: the Snip-​its

Alane M.

Business Owner

Alane had been a stay at home mom since 1994 prior to opening her first Snip-​its salons in 2009. Prior to starting a family, her background was in accounting. Alane has always loved working with children as she has working in children’s ministry for many years. She has 3 children. When her youngest child was starting kindergarten, Alane decided it was time to find something to keep her busy. Since she loved working with kids and had been in business before, she and her husband decided to look for a children’s franchise. Snip-​its came to the top of their search and since Alane’s best friend, Arlyn, had been a hairstylist for years, it seemed like a match. And it was. Together, Alane and Arlyn, along with Alane’s husband, Wesley, as their CPA and financial advisor, (MiddletonRainesZapata), and their awesome team members they have grown Snip-​its from 1 salon in 2009 to now 8 salons in 2014 with plans to expand further.
