About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a children's haircut salon at 51 East Main Street in Avon. The salon says it has been operating for more than 24 years and states that it has completed over 10 million haircuts. It also describes itself as the best kids' hair salon in Avon, which is its own claim.

Every haircut includes a wash, a cut and a blow-dry. Children are kept occupied during the visit with a choice of ride-style chairs, including a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen race car and a Mini Cooper, where they can watch cartoons or Netflix.

Beyond the children's chairs, the salon has a Tween Lounge with Xbox stations, which is used for older-kid styling, the Curls, Curls, Curls! service and the Day of Beauty package. Parents can book their own haircut or a wash and style in a private lounge while their children are seen.

For a child's first haircut, the salon offers a special experience that includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo. The salon also offers a social narrative to help children with anxiety or sensory sensitivities get ready for a haircut.

The salon builds each visit around play and entertainment, and offers a social narrative to prepare children who feel anxious or sensitive to sensory input.

A playful setting with ride-style chairs, cartoons, video games and a teen lounge.
