Three moms. One big idea.
LolliLocks was founded in 2001 by three Colorado moms driven to
re-envision the children’s hair salon industry. Tammy Rohde,
Anne Franklin and Martine Yano, each a mother of three, were frustrated
with long lines, less-than-clean conditions, tepid customer service
and lack of kid- focused
employees and schematics at other chain hair salons. The tight-knit
team pooled their talents in business, cosmetology, marketing and
accounting to invent a completely fresh concept. Rather than offering
adult cuts along side of children’s cuts, the LolliLocks mission
was to establish a truly unique and exclusive kids-only hair salon
that both children and parents would appreciate and anticipate coming
to.
Following a lengthy research process and long hours of planning
after the kids went to bed, these ingenious moms created a model
that worked. From its opening day, LolliLocks has been overwhelmed
by enormous and positive customer response. Referrals at play groups
and throughout the community quickly created a suburban buzz that
has yet to die down. To manage all of its clients, LolliLocks encourages
appointments, which has made life easier for everyone involved.
Stylists expect and greet returning children, kids don’t get
tired waiting in line for a haircut and parents get in, out and
on with their busy lives in a convenient, stress-free manner.
