Cutting out a hairy situation
Kathleen Perkal knew from personal experience that taking young
children to get their hair cut wasn't much fun. Even at
specialty salons that catered to families, Perkal's two boys
would get agitated if they had to wait too long for their
turns.
With support from her husband, Richard, Perkal took matters into
her own hands and founded Cartoon Cuts in 1991. The Springfield,
Virginia-based company's kid-friendly salons offer cuts and
styling to children as well as their parents while entertaining
young customers with video games, arts and crafts, toys and TV
programs.
Cartoon Cuts recently began franchising; its first franchisee
signed on for a location in Puerto Rico. To date, Perkal's
innovative company boasts 20 corporate-operated stores in the
Southeast.
