Sharkey's Cuts for Kids

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is built around children. A boys' haircut includes a wash, cut, and blow-dry, plus a fun chair, cartoons, a balloon, and a lollipop. The girls' haircut adds a minicure and a glamour ring to the same basics.

The setting is designed to feel playful. Children sit in car-shaped chairs, including a Dodge Police Cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a Lightning McQueen Race Car, and a Mini Cooper. Xbox stations are available, and cartoons or Netflix can play during the cut. A private Tween Lounge is used for curl styling and for the Day of Beauty package.

For a child's first haircut, the Child's First Haircut Experience includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep, and a photo. The salon also offers a custom social narrative to help children with anxiety or sensory sensitivities get ready for a haircut.

Beyond children's cuts, the menu includes braids that range from simple to creative styles such as French braids and fishtails, up-do hairstyles like ballet buns, wedding-style up-dos, and sleek ponytails for long hair, and Curls, Curls, Curls!, a curl styling service in the Tween Lounge. Day of Beauty brings hair, nails, and makeup together in the private lounge for up to one hour. Appointments can be booked online, and the phone number is (904) 481-8487. According to the salon, it has been operating for more than 24 years and has given over 10 million haircuts. The salon describes itself as St. Johns' best kids' haircut salon, and franchises are available.

Aims to give children and parents a haircut with warm, experienced stylists in a clean, fun setting.
