About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a haircut salon built around children. Its stated aim is to turn a child's haircut into an enjoyable outing for both the child and the parent, rather than a routine errand.

Each haircut includes a wash, cut and blow-dry, plus a few extras that make the visit feel like a treat: video games, a minicure, a balloon and a lollipop. Children can choose a seat shaped like a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a race car or a Mini Cooper, and watch cartoons or Netflix while they sit. Stations include a Tween Lounge and Xbox setups for older kids.

The salon also takes on the moments that tend to be hardest for families. A child's first haircut comes with a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo. For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory input, the salon offers social narratives, short written guides that help a child know what to expect before the appointment.

Beyond children's cuts, the salon offers Parents' Haircuts in a private lounge and Day of Beauty sessions for hair, nails and makeup in a private Tween Lounge, for up to an hour. Styling options include braids, curls and up-dos for longer hair.

According to the salon, it has completed more than 10.5 million haircuts over more than 24 years of operating, and that 97% of its clients recommend it. These are the salon's own figures.

The salon aims to make each visit fun and distinct for kids and parents, with stylists described as warm and experienced.

A bright, playful setting with themed car chairs, cartoons and video games.
