The new Snip-its location is owned by local entrepreneurs, Yan Hu and her husband, Michael Brewer, who will serve as a solution for parents who are looking for a way to untangle the challenges of trying to find a convenient haircutting experience for their children. Snip-its provides quality children’s hair care, friendly and knowledgeable staff, animated gadgets and a character-filled entertaining environment geared towards creating an enjoyable haircutting experience.

Yan, who holds a MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management , and Michael, a software engineer, stumbled upon Snip-its after several unsuccessful attempts getting their daughter's first haircut. When the couple took their daughter to Snip-its two years ago, they had an ‘ah-ha’ moment. After having such a great experience, it only took Yan a year to take a leap of faith and be fully committed to launching her own Snip-its franchise. Now she’s starting a new chapter in her career by making a name in the kid’s field—following her entrepreneurial spirit to open and manage a new Snip-its location fulltime.

“Snip-its is more than just a hair salon – it’s a fun adventure for the family; an experience to remember,” Yan said. “When you take your child to Snip-its, you know you’ll be in good hands. We don’t stop our work at churning out quality haircuts. We recognize the 20 minutes that a family spends with us for a haircut is often the most precious time they’ve carved out of their hectic schedule. We want to be viewed as a neighborhood hangout spot for families with young kids. We’ve got games, toys, books and of course tablets!”

Upon entering the styling station, parents can be close at hand when Snip-its specially-trained stylists work their Snip-its Magic while the child is kept entertained with custom activities featuring Snips and The Gang. Beyond the traditional haircut, Snip-its also offers a professional brand of hair care products and wide variety of kid-friendly spa services and birthday party packages.

Defined by the branded characters, games, stories, and a Magic Box that dispenses a prize at the end of the service, Snip-its is turning a traditionally mundane and often unpleasant experience into a fun-filled, animated adventure. Virtually unheard of in the hair care industry, the brand implements a unique and one of a kind stylist training program specifically for children with Autism, as part of their partnership with the national Autism Speaks organization.

Snip-its was founded in 1995 by Joanna Meiseles, a busy mother who sought a hair salon that catered to her young children. Twenty years later, the brand continues to be synonymous with the founder’s mission, offering quality children’s hair care and an environment that is welcoming, wholesome, and entertaining.
