Haircuts and Heroes

Two New and Unusual Businesses Coming to Huntington

For a little kid, getting a haircut can be a very big deal. Some children find it upsetting, even frightening. It can create a lot of stress for parents. Making haircuts hassle-free is the goal of Pigtails & Crewcuts, a new kind of hair salon created by parents for parents. It will be arriving at the Huntington Mall Complex by late summer. The salon will occupy approximately 3,000 square feet, located between Best Buy and Sleep Outfitters.

At Pigtails & Crewcuts, there’s plenty to keep kids relaxed and entertained. Its highly-trained staff knows how to offer a stress-free experience to children with special needs. Walk-ins are always welcome. For parents whose schedules are jam-packed, Pigtails & Crewcuts can help. Moms and dads can schedule haircuts for themselves in combination with their kids’ appointments. In addition to hair care services, Pigtails & Crewcuts offers a custom line of kid-centric hair products and accessories, gifts, and a private party room for birthday celebrations.

A trip to Superhero Creamery will take you back to some of the joys of your youth. It features an eclectic mix of cool treats and collectibles. It will be located in the JCPenney concourse, between Auntie Anne’s and Foot Locker. When it opens late this year, the 4,600 square foot shop will serve up hand-dipped ice cream, frozen yogurt, comic books, toys, action figures, custom t-shirts and (why not) ceramic items suitable for painting and gifting. Superhero Creamery originated in Ashland, Kentucky and is now bringing its special mixture of fun to West Virginia.

Huntington Mall has been serving the people of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky since 1981. This 1.5 million square foot shopping complex is located off Route 60 and Interstate 64 at exit 20 in Barboursville, WV.
