Natick, Massachusetts - January 10, 2006 - Haircutting has gone the way of pediatric dentistry, children's clothing retailers and indoor fitness centers - to the kids - and money has followed.

Gone are the days when parents have to shell our adult-prices for little Johnny's first trim at grandpas barber. Offering a no tears and a great fun alternative, privately-held Snip-its is leading a newly recognized and lucrative sector of the hair care market with a children's focused franchise concept that just marked its 52nd store opening in Cortlandt, New York. Its 67 percent growth in 2006 has set the pace for 2007: already 20 new franchise commitments in 13 states are in place across the US and more are expected. Even movie studios, such as the Weinstein Company, have found Snip-its a powerful partner for coifing the youth market. The companies recently partnered on a cross promotion to push the Weinstein's film, Arthur and the Invisibles. Movie sets are actually familiar territory to Founder Joanna Meiseles - her father was famous producer Robert F. Blumofe, credited with Yours, Mine and Ours and she's also the granddaughter of comic legend Jack Benny.

"For parents and children, visiting a Snip-its is unlike any other salon experience," said Meiseles, Snip-its president and mother of four, who founded the company in 1995. "It's a welcoming, uniquely sunny destination for kids who look forward to coming back because its like being inside a Saturday morning cartoon."
