About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids has been running for more than 24 years and is built around children's haircuts. The salon describes itself as the best kids' haircut salon in Cornelius and states that it has completed more than ten million haircuts, with 97% of clients recommending it.

The salon's aim is to make a haircut feel different from a typical trip to the barber. Every visit includes a wash, cut and blow-dry, along with a small set of extras: video games, a minicure, a balloon and a lollipop. Younger children can sit in a car-shaped chair, such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a race car or a Mini Cooper, while watching cartoons or Netflix. Girls' haircuts also include a glamour ring.

Older kids and tweens have their own areas. There is a Tween Lounge with Xbox stations, and Curls, Curls, Curls! styling takes place there. Day of Beauty offers hair, nails and makeup in a private Tween Lounge for up to one hour. Parents can book a private lounge for their own haircut or a wash and style, and the salon also offers Dad and Son and Mom and Daughter haircut pairings.

For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory experiences, the salon offers a social narrative that helps them prepare for a haircut ahead of time. Booking is available through the Book Now button on the salon's website.

The salon aims to give children and parents a haircut experience that feels different from a typical one, with preparation available for kids who find new places or sensations hard.

According to the salon, the space is clean and full of fun, with car-shaped chairs, game stations and a separate lounge for older kids.
