The Best Kids Haircuts

Since 2001, Sharkey's Cuts for Kids has been transforming ordinary haircuts into extraordinary experiences for children and families. What started as a single salon in Connecticut has grown into an award-winning children's hair salon franchise for ages 0-14 with over 200 locations nationwide.

Our Story

Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids was founded by Linda and Scott, with a simple mission: to create an exciting experience for kids ages 0-14 by providing a superior haircut with expert stylists in a meticulously clean place filled with fun! As parents themselves, they understand the challenge of keeping children calm and entertained during salon visits.

Their solution? Combine professional styling with an environment designed entirely around what kids love—from themed chairs and video games to attentive stylists who know how to work with little kids and energetic tweens alike.

Today, Sharkey’s stands as the fastest-growing kids salon brand for ages 0-14 in the world, recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine and trusted by families throughout the United States. Despite our growth, we have never lost sight of those original family values that made Sharkey’s special from day one. That is why Sharkey’s is now in the top 5% off all franchise brands in the world!

What Makes Sharkey's Different

Expert Stylists Who Understand Kids

Our professionally trained stylists don’t just cut hair— they create experiences. Each team member is trained in age-appropriate techniques for everyone, from children getting their first haircut to style-conscious tweens looking for the latest trends. Patient, friendly, and skilled, our professionally trained kids’ stylists know how to make every child feel comfortable and confident.

Entertainment That Keeps Kids Happy

We believe the best kids’ haircuts start and end with a smile. That’s why all Sharkey’s locations feature:

  • Fun kids’ cars, like: A Dodge Police Cruiser, Barbie Jeep, Frozen Jeep, Lightning McQueen Race Car, Buzz Lightyear, Hummer, Fire Engine, #8 Dale Earnhardt NASCAR Race Car, and Mini Cooper
  • Gaming stations with Xbox on 40” screens – bring your “A” game!
  • 40” screens showing your favorite movies, shows, and music concerts
  • A private Tween Lounge for older kids and parents

A Clean, Safe Environment Parents Trust

Your child’s safety comes first. We sanitize all tools after every service, maintain spotless salons, and use kid-safe seating and equipment designed specifically for children of all ages.
