In 1997 Paula Thurman got the idea to open a fantastic Hair Salon AND Boutique for Kids! With a great idea and a little bit of money, Paula opened her first store and Shear Madness was born. She began experimenting with the concept, finding out what was working and what wasn't. Very soon, Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids was becoming a hit among other local moms looking for a fun and unique place to take their children for haircuts.
As you can see our salons are very different from the typical children's salon that you may be familiar with. At Shear Madness, our vision is to become the leader in the childrens hair salon industry - the standard by which ALL others are measured! Our specially trained staff, professionally designed salon, fantastic boutique, and bright atmosphere provides kids and their parents with a quality experience they don't soon forget! Because of this, we've experienced exciting growth over the last several years!
