Founded in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1994, Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids was created by Larry and Rosemary Sedgwick, who identified a gap in the market for kid-focused hair salons that made haircutting a fun and stress-free experience. With over 30 years of franchise experience, the brand has grown to more than 100+ locations across the United States and internationally.
