Bishops Cuts/Color and Delta Crown Anchor Head to Toe’s Hair-Focused Brands
Hair is one of the most proven and resilient categories in franchising, driven by routine demand and broad consumer appeal. Within that space, Bishops Cuts/Color and Delta Crown stand out as part of the Head to Toe Brands portfolio, bringing both brand identity and operational infrastructure to support growth. Bishops delivers a culture-driven, personality-forward salon experience with mass appeal and a brand owners are proud to stand behind, while Delta Crown pairs specialized expertise with a membership model that drives recurring revenue and a more flexible ownership lifestyle. With a sharp understanding of today’s clients and franchisees, they partnered with BrandONE for franchise development support as they scale with purpose.
Together, they offer franchisees a compelling combination of proven demand, differentiated positioning and systems designed to scale.
Allison Steimel, Brand President of Bishops Cuts/Color
Allison Steimel brings a thoughtful approach to her role as brand president of Bishops Cuts/Color. What drew her to the brand was how different it felt from a traditional salon. “It’s expressive and edgy,” she says. What makes Bishops especially compelling today is its evolution. Under Head to Toe Brands, the concept has been reimagined and rebuilt with the systems, infrastructure and support needed to scale as a modern franchise platform — while preserving the culture that made it successful in the first place.
Steimel says Bishops stands out because it gives owners structure while still leaving room for “personality, creativity and individuality.” She believes that matters to candidates who want to build a business that reflects who they are. “I try to stay really focused on what aligns with our identity and what will actually help shops succeed long term,” she says. With experience on both the franchisor and franchisee sides, Steimel brings a balanced perspective and leads with “a mix direction and empathy.”
Kristin Kidd, COO of Head to Toe Brands
Kristin Kidd plays a key role in helping Head to Toe Brands grow. “I love being able to see best practices or ideas that work well, and work to bring them to life in each brand in a meaningful way.” Her role includes finding vendor partners that can support franchisees with the best services and rates and building a team that “lives and breathes franchisee support.” Kidd says growth takes focus and strong organization. “It’s a lot of spinning plates, but that’s where I thrive,” she says. “Women are born to multitask. It’s in our nature, and that’s an incredible quality for someone in leadership or a business owner.” Above all, Kidd believes support matters most. “We don’t succeed unless you succeed. It’s that simple. We are in this together.”
Jenna Bowen, Founder of Delta Crown Hair Extensions
Jenna Bowen started Delta Crown Hair Extensions after seeing how many women were struggling with thinning hair and how few good solutions they had. “When I found hair extensions, it was so life changing because I finally had a solution to give women their hair back,” she says. She also saw a gap in the market and wanted to create a salon experience focused on hair extensions that felt more supportive, consistent and easy for clients. Now she can empower franchise owners to do the same. “For franchisees, there is no feeling like walking into your space and seeing transformation happen in real life. You see women light up, feel beautiful, feel confident and happy. It is not the same as selling a sandwich, a cup of coffee or any other product where the transaction ends at the register. This is real life change happening right before your eyes.”
Her journey as a young female founder has shaped the way she leads today. “What I’ve learned as someone who also leads a lot of women is that I succeed best by teaching them how to lead themselves,” she says.
Meg Roberts, CEO of Head to Toe Brands
Meg Roberts leads Head to Toe Brands with vision and a passion for people. She believes in building the right partnerships and helping franchisees succeed for the long run. “We are especially excited about the caliber of franchisee partners we know BrandONE will bring to our Decision Days,” she says. “Our organizations share very similar values where we truly believe in making the right match — and not just the latest thing.”
Roberts has spent nearly 20 years in franchising, beginning in marketing and growing her career by helping brands and franchisees thrive. She is especially proud of creating opportunities for women. “We have developed and promoted so many women on our team into executive roles. We work hard at HTT to build teams that are having fun together.”
