About

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids is a children's hair salon in Sunset Valley, TX, serving the south side of Austin. According to the salon, it has been operating for 24 or more years and has completed more than 10 million haircuts. It also says 97% of its clients recommend it, and it describes itself as the best kids' hair salon in the Austin south area.

Every haircut includes a wash, a cut, and a blow-dry, along with a minicure, a balloon, a lollipop, and other small extras. Children can sit in a themed chair, such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a race car, or a Mini Cooper, and watch cartoons or Netflix during their appointment. Older kids have a separate Tween Lounge with Xbox stations.

The salon offers a first haircut package for a child's first visit. It includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep, and a photo. For children who feel anxious or are sensitive to sensory input, the salon provides a social narrative that helps them prepare for a haircut ahead of time.

Beyond kids' cuts, the salon has a Parents' Haircut service, where a parent can get a haircut or a wash and style in a private lounge. Day of Beauty sessions combine hair, nails, and makeup in the Tween Lounge for up to one hour. Styling options include braids, curl styling, and up-dos such as ballet buns, wedding-style up-dos, and sleek ponytails for long hair.

The salon says franchises are available and that it is recruiting team members.

Each visit pairs a standard wash, cut, and blow-dry with extras meant to keep children comfortable and entertained.

A playful setting with themed chairs, cartoons, and separate spaces for younger kids, tweens, and parents.
