notes: label: Description
content: In 1967, Margaret Ann Robinson, a hairstylist from England, headed to the United States for a new opportunity. By 1973, Ann married Dennis Ratner and together they jotted down on a cocktail napkin a new idea for a hair salon. With a business model based on convenience, price, and consistency, the Ratners created the first Hair Cuttery in the West Springfield, Virginia with only $5,000. This new establishment introduced a revolutionary type of hair salon where the whole family could walk in for a haircut without needing an appointment.
