DALLAS, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Knockouts, a national leader in men's haircare and grooming, has selected Cooper Smith Agency as its public relations agency of record. Since the first Knockouts salon opened in 2003, the Dallas-based company has sold 57 franchises in five states, ranking it among the top 30% fastest-growing franchises in the United States.

Knockouts is known for its specially-chosen staff of attractive female hairstylists wearing Knockouts Girls(TM) boxing uniforms. In addition to providing competitively-priced haircuts, the full-service salon specializes in color/lightening, massage therapy, manicures, pedicures and hair waxing. It also offers a pampering experience for men that is not available at other discount walk-in salons, such as providing large leather chairs, individual flat screen TV's with remote controls at each station, and free beer. The environment is upscale, yet casual and fun, as the stylists cut hair inside two boxing rings.

Knockouts currently operates salons in Addison, Arlington, and Lewisville, Texas, Denver, Colorado, and St. Louis, Missouri. Within the next few months, the company will open four additional locations -- Southlake, Texas in February 2007; Las Colinas/Irving, Texas in February 2007; Atlanta, Georgia in February 2007; and Phoenix, Arizona in spring 2007.
