Ratner Companies started with one salon and two Stylists back in 1974. Dennis Ratner was an up-and-coming hairdresser working in his father's Louis salon in Washington, D.C. It was the beginning of a new era, and Dennis envisioned a unisex salon convenient for the whole family. Over dinner with then-wife and fellow Stylist Ann, Dennis sketched on a cocktail napkin a business plan that laid the groundwork for the first Hair Cuttery salon.

HAIR CUTTERY MAKES ITS RACING DEBUT IN 24 HOURS OF DAYTONA
Salon chain supports Banner Engineering team

24 Hours of Daytona

Vienna, VA– January 23, 2006 –
Hair Cuttery, the salon chain with nearly 1,000 company-owned and franchised salons in the U.S. and overseas, recently announced its sponsorship of the Banner Engineering Chevy Corvette C6, which will race in 24 Hours of Daytona. The race will take place Saturday, January 28 at the Daytona International Speedway.

Hair Cuttery’s sponsorship marks the salon chain’s first major foray into the racing world. The company’s logo will be featured on the apron and both back quarter-panels of the racecar. It will join Banner Engineering’s other sponsors which include Centric Parts, Las Vegas Bike Fest and WKLU-FM in Indianapolis.

“We are excited to participate in such a high-profile racing event,” said Hair Cuttery CEO
Dennis Ratner. “Many of our clients are avid race fans and we know they will join us in cheering the Banner Engineering team to victory.”

Led by Leighton Reese, the Banner Engineering driver line-up consists of race veterans
Tommy Archer, Russ Oasis and Dino Crescentini. The team has taken months preparing for the upcoming endurance race, which will be broadcast on the Speed Channel.

“The support of companies like Hair Cuttery makes our participation in 24 Hours of Daytona possible,” said Oasis. “We are thankful for their help, and also looking forward to a great team effort next Saturday.”
