About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a children's salon in Hayward. The salon says it has been operating for 24 or more years and has served over 10 million haircuts, and it reports that 97% of its clients recommend it. These are the salon's own figures and have not been independently verified.

The salon aims to give children and their parents a haircut experience handled by experienced stylists, in a space that is clean and built around fun. Kids can settle into a play car such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a race car or a Mini Cooper while watching cartoons or Netflix. Fun chairs, video games and Xbox stations are also part of the room.

Every haircut includes a shampoo, cut and blow-dry, plus a mini manicure, a balloon and a lollipop. Boys' cuts are priced at $36, and girls' cuts at $42.50 include a glamour ring as well. A first haircut costs $45 and comes with a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo.

Parents can have their own haircut, or a wash and style, in a private lounge. The Tween Lounge is available for private appointments, including Curls, Curls, Curls!, which pairs a mini manicure and a glamour ring choice with curl styling, and Day of Beauty, a one-hour session covering hair, nails and makeup.

For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory input, the salon can prepare a social narrative, a step-by-step guide to the visit, to help them get ready for a haircut.

The salon's stated aim is a clean, fun haircut experience for children and parents, delivered by experienced stylists.

A playful space with ride-in cars, cartoons, video game stations and a separate lounge for private visits.
