About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a hair salon built around children. Its haircut menu covers boys' and girls' cuts, a special first haircut experience, and a parents' haircut in a private lounge, so an adult can get a cut or a wash and style while the child is seen.

A visit is designed to be fun for kids. Each child sits in a themed styled chair, such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen race car or a Mini Cooper, and can watch cartoons or Netflix during the haircut. Boys' and girls' cuts include a wash, cut and blow-dry, plus a balloon and a lollipop. Girls' cuts also add a minicure and a glamour ring.

The first haircut experience is a keepsake visit. It includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo. The salon also offers a custom social narrative for children who have anxiety or sensory sensitivities, so they can know what to expect before they arrive.

Older kids have their own options. Day of Beauty brings hair, nails and makeup into a private Tween Lounge for up to one hour, and Xbox stations are available. Styling services include braids from simple, sleek looks to creative styles like French braids and fishtails, curls, and up-dos such as ballet buns, wedding-style up-dos and sleek ponytails for long hair.

According to the salon, it has been giving haircuts for more than 24 years and has completed over ten million haircuts. It also reports that 97% of its clients recommend it. The salon describes itself as Gaithersburg's best kids' haircut salon. Franchises are available through the business.

Visits are planned around the individual child, with a custom social narrative available for children with anxiety or sensory sensitivities.

Themed styled chairs, cartoons, Xbox stations and a Tween Lounge give the space a playful, kid-friendly feel.
