Designed exclusively with kids in mind, Pigtails & Crewcuts offers:

Pigtails & Crewcuts is also Clarksville’s first certified Sensory Safe Salon, featuring special training and thoughtful accommodations for children with sensory sensitivities. Every detail, from lighting to stylist interactions, is designed for safety, comfort, and engagement.

“I wanted to create a place where families feel seen and supported,” said Bryant. “As a mother, I know how difficult it can be to find a child-friendly salon. My goal was to develop the kind of space I wish had existed when my kids were younger.”

Bryant’s journey to business ownership is as inspiring as the salon itself. After returning from deployment in 2022, she sought a career that aligned with her values of flexibility, family, and service. Franchising with Pigtails & Crewcuts allowed her to merge her entrepreneurial spirit with her deep commitment to family and community.

Drawing on her Navy experience, Bryant has made community involvement a cornerstone of her salon’s mission. While she also works with the Department of Energy, her true passion shines through in the salon’s active support of local events—especially those that uplift military families and honor Clarksville’s strong military ties.

“We’re here to give back, support local families, and make kids smile,” she added.

Whether it’s a first haircut or a weekly trim, parents will find a welcoming, inclusive space where every child is treated with care. With a focus on fun, safety, and community, Pigtails & Crewcuts Clarksville is destined to become a trusted part of the neighborhood.
