About
Hair Cuttery started with one salon and two Stylists back in 1974. Dennis Ratner was an up-and-coming hairdresser working in his father's Louis salon in Washington, D.C. Ann Ratner, also a stylist, had recently moved from the U.K. to the United States. It was the beginning of a new era, and the partners envisioned a unisex salon convenient for the whole family. Over dinner they sketched on a cocktail napkin a business plan that laid the groundwork for the first Hair Cuttery salon.
With only $5,000, Dennis and Ann opened the first Hair Cuttery in West Springfield, Virginia, introducing a revolutionary new brand of salon where clients could walk in and get a new look with no appointment necessary. Now with nearly 800 salons on the East Coast, in New England, and the Chicago area-and plans to open more in the coming years-Hair Cuttery is the largest privately-held full-service salon chain in the United States.
Hair Cuttery offers a full complement of services from haircuts and color to facial waxing and texturizing services, as well a wide selection of professional products. Located in convenient suburban locations, our salons provide more than 18 million services each year.
