In July of 1994, founder of Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids, Cookie Shelton, developed one of the first children's-only hair salons in the United States, located in Indianapolis, Indiana.  She was trying to change the age-old image of the barbershop and beauty salon. Her goal was to create a place where kids could have a good time and still receive a great haircut.  In the past, parents didn't have the opportunity to take their children to a salon specifically made for kids.  She wanted Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids to provide children not only a great haircut, but also a one of a kind experience; one both that both the child and parent will cherish.  At Cookie Cutters the atmosphere is fun, the design is unique, and the salons are full of children's energy.

With over sixteen years of existence in Indianapolis, and franchised outlets being developed across America and even in other nations, Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids has become one of the leaders in a specialized market. As of 2008, we provide services for more than half of a million children per year, and are growing rapidly around the world.
