Sharkey's Cuts for Kids Norman

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a haircut business built around children, with locations in Edmond, Norman and Oklahoma City. The stated aim is a quality haircut from experienced stylists in a clean, playful setting that works for both kids and the parents who bring them in.

A typical boys' or girls' haircut includes a wash, cut and blow-dry, with a balloon and a lollipop to finish. Children sit in novelty car chairs, including a Dodge Police Cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen race car and a Mini Cooper, and can watch cartoons during the appointment. Xbox stations are also available for children.

The salon has a first haircut package that includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo from the visit. Prices listed on the site are $28.99 for a boys' haircut, $34.99 for a girls' haircut, and $33.99 for a boys' first haircut or $39.99 for a girls' first haircut.

Beyond cuts, the salon offers a Curls service held in a private Tween Lounge, which includes a minicure and a choice of glamour ring while curls are styled. A Day of Beauty package brings hair, nails and makeup to the same private space for up to one hour. Up-do hairstyles are available for special events, including ballet buns, wedding up-dos and sleek ponytails for long hair. Braid styles run from simple and sleek to more creative looks such as French braids and fishtails.

For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory experiences, the salon offers a custom social narrative to help prepare them for a haircut. The business also states that it has been giving haircuts for 24 or more years and that franchises are available.

The salon aims to combine a quality haircut with experienced stylists in a clean, fun setting for children and their parents.

The setting is bright and playful, with novelty car chairs, cartoons and Xbox stations for children.
