About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids has been operating for 24 or more years, according to its website, and is set up as a haircut salon designed for children. The salon describes itself as Columbia's best kids' haircut salon and says it aims to offer kids and parents a different kind of haircut visit, built around a clean, fun environment and experienced stylists. The website also states that more than ten million haircuts have been given and that 97% of clients recommend the salon.

Younger guests pick from a set of car-themed and character seats, including a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen race car, and a Mini Cooper, and can watch cartoons or Netflix while they sit. Older children have a separate Tween Lounge, a set of fun chairs, and Xbox stations to use. Each haircut comes with a shampoo, cut and blow-dry, along with access to video games, a manicure for the child, a balloon, and a lollipop.

Parents are not left standing around. During a parent's own haircut or wash and style, they can wait in a private, relaxed lounge. The salon also offers a social narrative for children who experience anxiety or sensory sensitivities, to help them prepare for a haircut.

Beyond everyday cuts, the salon lists a set of signature services, including a first-haircut keepsake package, curl styling, a private hair, nails and makeup session, and special-occasion up-dos. Franchise opportunities are available, and the website invites people to apply to join the team.

The salon aims to make a child's haircut feel fun and low-stress, pairing clean, carefully maintained surroundings with experienced stylists.

Meticulously clean and fun-filled, with car-shaped chairs, cartoons, and game stations.
