Why Choose Snip-its

Choosing to start your own business, whether franchised or not, is a big decision. At Snip-its, we want you to know exactly what you are buying into before you make the decision to become a franchisee. In fact, if you are not confident that you can be a successful Snip-its business owner, we want you NOT to pursue a Snip-its franchise.

However, if you choose Snip-its, we want you to feel confident that our franchise systems are robust and our support team has the experience and knowledge to ensure that our franchisees have the opportunity to invest in a highly successful business that will help you achieve your personal and professional goals.

A Brief History

The last decade has seen the development of many successful businesses specially designed to wow kids. In 1993, when Joanna Meiseles sought a hair salon that catered to her young children, instead of a salon, she discovered a business opportunity. After two years of extensive research and planning, Joanna opened the first Snip-its salon in Framingham, Massachusetts to rave reviews. With nearly a decade of experience and five successful Snip-its salons, Joanna launched the Snip-its franchise program in 2003 as a platform for national expansion.
