Hair Salon Franchise US Cost Cutters Family Hair Salon

About Us

In 1963, Joe Francis opened the first The Barbers Hairstyling for Men salon in Minnesota. Five years later, the salons began styling women's hair.

In 1982, Francis diversified even more, founding family salon Cost Cutters. Twelve Cost Cutters centers opened that first year, and six years later, the 300th salon opened. Today, Cost Cutters is owned by Regis Corporation, a Minneapolis-based company that also owns a host of other hair salons, including City Looks, Regis Salons, Supercuts and We Care Hair.

By providing this desirable service and marketing to busy, value-conscious families and men, Cost Cutters has grown dramatically over the years.

Considering this growth, along with its convenient strip center locations, it's not surprising that Cost Cutters has established a very loyal customer base.
