Sharkey's Cuts for Kids

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a children's hair salon in Limerick, Pennsylvania. According to the salon, it has been operating for more than 24 years and has completed over 10 million haircuts. The salon also says 97% of its clients recommend it, and it describes itself as the best kids' hair salon near Limerick.

Every haircut follows the same routine: a wash, cut and blow-dry, with video games, a minicure, a balloon and a lollipop included. Children can pick a seat shaped like a car, such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen race car or a Mini Cooper, and watch cartoons or Netflix while they sit. Older kids have a Tween Lounge with Xbox stations.

Beyond children's cuts, the salon offers a range of styling. Braids run from simple to creative, including French braids and fishtails. Up-dos cover ballet buns, wedding styles and ponytails for long hair. Parents can book a haircut or a wash and style in a private lounge, and the Day of Beauty package brings hair, nails and makeup into a private Tween Lounge for up to an hour.

The salon describes its goal as warm, experienced stylists working in a clean, fun-filled space. For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory experiences, it provides a social narrative to help them get ready for the visit.
