Sharkey's Cuts for Kids

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a children's hair salon in Cypress, Texas. The salon says it has been cutting hair for more than 24 years and has completed over 10.5 million haircuts, and it reports that 97% of its clients recommend it. It describes its own haircuts as the best for kids in Cypress, a claim that comes from the salon itself.

The salon's aim is to make haircuts fun for children while keeping the space clean. Every haircut includes a wash, cut, and blow-dry, along with a few small extras: video games, a minicure, a balloon, a lollipop, and a seat in a themed chair such as a police car, frozen jeep, fire truck, or fighter jet. Children can watch cartoons or Netflix while they sit. There is also a Tween Lounge with Xbox stations for older kids.

Appointments can be booked online or in the store. The salon asks clients to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead, and late cancellations or no-shows may carry a fee. Prices can change by location, stylist experience, service type, hair length, styling complexity, or any extra services requested. Parents or guardians must consent to services for minors and stay with their children in the salon. Parents are asked to share any medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities before the appointment.

For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory experiences, the salon can prepare a social narrative, a short written guide that walks a child through what the haircut will involve.

Each salon location is an independently owned and operated franchise that sets its own staffing, pricing, and appointment policies. The company also offers franchise opportunities and is seeking team members.

The salon aims to make kids' haircuts enjoyable in a clean environment.

Themed chairs, cartoons, and video games make the room playful, with a separate Tween Lounge for older children.
