AFI CLIENT SPOTLIGHT:

SIT STILL KID’S SALON

At Accurate Franchising, Inc., we work with smart business owners who are trying to expand their businesses and improve their brands. In our more than 35 years of experience in franchise consulting, we have worked with a variety of companies, helping them grow their businesses into franchise successes. We use a variety of the most up-to-date techniques, plus our experience in the industry, to show our clients the path to franchise growth.

One of our up-and-coming clients is a children’s hair salon and shop based in Portland, Oregon. Sit Still Kid’s Salon does so much more than cut your child’s hair, and they are excited to build their unique brand with projected national growth over the next five years.

CHILDREN’S SALON IN OREGON

Sit Still Kid’s Salon’s mission is to provide stylish and quality haircuts for kids. Started by a Portland mom, Sit Still is a hip and fun salon that makes getting a haircut fun. Though there are other salons that specialize in children’s haircuts, this is a brand that takes it five steps further.

SALON AND SHOP

By setting up the business with multiple revenue streams, Sit Still has set itself apart in the salon franchise space. Haircuts and styling make up the bulk of Sit Still’s revenue, with parents bringing their children of all ages for a fun experience getting their hair done. The combination of toys, interesting books, child-appropriate TV programs, fun chairs, and enthusiastic stylists makes children feel like getting their hair cut is a party. The Sit Still website boasts that your children won’t want to leave.

Some popular services include:

Sit Still Full Service—cut, shampoo, and blow dry
Boys/Girls Cut
Tween Haircuts

Sit Still also sets itself apart by going beyond the typical haircut to offer some truly special services to their guests. Parents can bring in their young children for an eventful first haircut experience—the package comes with a complimentary photo and a lock of hair for a keepsake. Stylists also offer special styling, including options like updos or braids, to jazz up a child’s hair for a special event or even a regular day.

An additional source of revenue for Sit Still franchise owners is the retail side. It is common knowledge in the salon and spa industry that retail products make up as much as 15% of total revenue, but Sit Still is unique in the industry in that revenue from specialty retail products account for almost double that of a typical salon.

DON’T SIT DOWN ON THE SIT STILL OPPORTUNITY

One of the things that makes Sit Still Kid’s Salon so unique is that they have a non-traditional approach to the salon market. For this brand, focusing on children’s haircuts is just the beginning. Not only does Sit Still offer a wealth of services, but they also pay attention to the details in everything from the unique retail items for sale to the quality hair care products they use.

This is a modern, fun, and friendly brand that creates an environment that exudes those same qualities. The entire family can enjoy a visit to Sit Still, and there are no other children’s salon franchises that cultivate an experience like this one.

Sit Still is not sitting still on its growth strategy. The brand is working towards opening 120 locations by 2023. To make that growth possible, they have built a team of experienced franchise operators to help new franchisees with onboarding as well as ongoing support. They work with each owner as a partner in order to ensure their success.
