Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids

Only gave 1 star because I had to put something the women there are very rude and unprofessional taking about other workers well cutting my sons hair never coming back again

Doesn’t get better than this place. My 4 year old screams for joy every time he learns that he has an appointment with Lisa! She’s got the magic touch!

They look like a cute place and I wanted to try them out but they don’t really take walk-​ins. What they do is, take appointments and if you want to walk-​in, you sit and wait until an appointment no shows. Then you take their spot. So if everyone shows up to their appointment, you could essentially not end up getting in.

I generally am not one to write reviews but I had such a great experience today that I felt she deserved a shout out.
Had a same day appointment and there was a little wait but that is to be expected as they were really busy. They had tons of toys and books to keep the kids entertained and this store seems to be better maintained than the Corona one.
Lisa is amazing. My 4 year old wanted to play the video games and she tried to be accommodating but as I mentioned they were busy, so he chose lightening McQueen instead. He isn’t entirely fond of haircuts and kept tensing up so she talked to him telling him what she was doing and he relaxed. His hair cut came out perfect.
What really impressed me was she also engaged my 3 year old. She told her that if she behaved while brother was getting a haircut that she would braid her hair. Something she did NOT have to do but I was asking her how to care for my daughters curly hair.
They give suckers and stickers at the end. Overall, 5 star experience mainly because of LIsa! We will definitely be back

We love this place! We took our son for his first haircut, when he was 18 months old. He was crying, reaching for me, generally not staying still. Somehow Trisha got the job done! It turns out that a lollipop was the magic trick (which we discovered about halfway through, haha!)
We recently brought him in for his second haircut, again with Trisha, and again it was a great experience! They’re really great with kids and give pretty good cuts too. A little pricey, but hey, it’s hard working on a moving target so I get the price.

Love this place! So much fun
My daughter is 5 years old and had very long hair and had requested a hair cut. We had heard this place was fun so we decided to give it a go. Addie just loved it. She got her nails done (bright pink of course!), then sat in the Barbie car and watched Barbie cartoon movie while her hair was cut. Then she had her hair styled in a beautiful up-​do braid. To top it off she got to pick out «prize» of: balloon, ring, sticker and lollipop. She told me it was the best day ever. So fun! And price very reasonable for this package.
I’m not cutting my sons hair anymore — I’m going to treat him to this fun place I can’t wait

I took my son to Sharky’s on 1÷20÷13 and it was fantastic! My son has been scared to get haircuts for some time now, so finding a place that had a McQueen car sounded perfect. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left it was a great experience. The receptionist was super friendly, and checked us in pretty quickly. She informed me to let the stylist know why my son was scared of haircuts and she would work with him to get him comfy. When it was time for our sons appointment he was little hesitant but Trisha made him feel so much better. She gave him high fives, kept tell him he was doing so good, and even let him pick out as many stickers as he wanted! She was fantastic! My son went from screaming his head off at normal hair studios to sitting in a McQueen car with a smile on his face. I will be returning!

Just took by 2yo here for a trim and it was so much fun for her. Raquel and the assistant had a movie going, bubbles ready to keep my little entertained. Will be coming back here for her next trim

This is a great place for kids hair cut. Been taking my son here a couple of times now. Besides one incident of crying (poor boo boo wasn’t feeling too well that morning), he enjoyed every single visit. The lady that did the haircuts for my son is super nice and patient with my son. My son can’t stand seeing or hearing the buzzing sound so the lady would just simply use the scissor to trim by the ear and the back. Her technique was good. I was impressed.
The kids can sit in the car, watch a movie or play video game. All good methods to distract them while having haircut.
The place is clean, the staffs are friendly and the price is decent. Parking can be a drag sometimes, especially on the weekends! Those parking spots are soooo tight! Keep that in mind if you book appointments for the weekend, they are usually busy. So book appointment in advance.

Very nice place, just moved here so first time here, my son was a walk-​in on Saturday and it was packed and right away they informed me that they are booked but if there’s any cancelled they’ll let me know or wait around so my son and I kicked around only about 10 min and there it is, very nice for kids they got everything for them they washed his hair and styled it, I will bring my other kids but definitely appointment will be better, call for appointments don’t use email these people way to busy to stay on computers

Had A Great 1^st experience here with my 21 month old son, his 1^st hair was a terrible experience at a different salon. Coming here and seeing how they dealt with toddlers as young as my crazy wild child I was very pleased and impressed. We will definitely be coming here from now on. (Note they have video games, kids movies, toy, lollipops etc to distract the kids while they cut while they seat in cool Disney character car seats) Very Professional!!!

I decided to give this place a try after seeing such great reviews! I was hesitant in taking my 3 year old in for a haircut since he is freaked out by them. He was never great with haircuts but they were doable! His fright for them became a nightmare after having a cast removed for breaking his elbow. The lady who removed it cut his arm after assuring him it wasn’t going to hurt and it was just going to make noise.
Ever since then, he just can’t tolerate anything that looks or sounds similar to the little saw they used! The minute it was his turn to get his haircut, he of course just started kicking and crying and wouldn’t even sit in the awesome Lighting McQueen car they had reserved for him. Lisa, I believe that is who helped me was great, she tried getting his attention, asked if he wanted a movie, and assured him it wasn’t going to hurt. He wouldn’t hear it and kept crying, kicking and screaming he wanted out of there. I was going to turn away since I was quite embarrassed. Lisa decided to move us to a chair where he could sit on my lap, he didn’t change his behavior and she didn’t give up on him. I asked if they have dealt with other kids like this and she replied that they have with no hesitation.
I felt relieved and decided to go on with his cut. Lisa along with another stylist who was also phenomenal stepped in to try to comfort my son. Nothing worked so they decided they were both going to help cut his hair. I seriously don’t know how they managed to do it since he never stopped moving all over the place. He kicked and cried, but they didn’t seem to be phased by it and said it was okay. My son walked out of there with a great haircut and I couldn’t be happier. He was happy and excited that he got a balloon! Thank u to you amazing ladies if you read this! I hope the next time I take him, he has a better attitude! I couldn’t have picked a better place for him!

Our first experience here was GREAT! We use to take our 18 month old son to First Cut in Corona Del Mar. I use to think that place was good until coming to Sharkeys! Ashleh was amazing! She paid attention to detail with my little mans stylish fade. She did it exactly how I wanted it with no hairs left straggling. My son was hysterically crying as expected being 18 months getting his hair cut with clippers but she was patient and understanding. He got to sit in a Lightning McQueen car, watch Cars and got a balloon at the end. Ashley was great! I tipped her half the price of the hair cut (haircut $ 21, tip was $ 10) because she had to put up with my wild man! Thank you so much! We will be back!

Lisa was great at cutting my son’s hair! He is 13 months old and doesn’t stay still unless he is asleep. It was his first haircut and we are glad we went to Sharkey’s. He enjoyed sitting in the firetruck!
Lisa was quick but really thorough. She made sure his hair was even and asked us questions along to way to make sure we were happy with the way she was cutting his hair. We will be going back for his next cut.
Just a note: They are serious about that 7-​minute policy, so don’t be late. Totally understand the policy and respect it. We were stuck in horrible traffic and ended up being 6-​minutes late. Just under the wire!

First time coming here and i was bit worried that i had to leave because my son was crying and not cooperating. He hates haircuts, but I want to give props to Heather. Not only did she did a great job for my son haircut! She was very patient and kind. I was surprised that my son stop crying during the entire cut.
Awesome! I will definitely come back.
Thank you so much Heather.
He looks great!

Great place for kids haircuts! We pay an annual membership for one of our boys that cost 180.00 which gives unlimited haircuts for a year — well worth it!!! The staff is extremely patient with the little ones even when they are crying their little eyes out. Their hair cutting stations include fire trucks, Lightinging McQueen, Barbie Corvette, and game stations for the older ones. Also they have a nice section for little girls to get all dressed up. Fades and undercuts-​ask for Raquel.

Came here for my daughters 1^st haircut. It was awesome! Definitely going back. Great service, kid friendly and they do birthdays!

First time coming to this small cute salon for kids… loved the atmosphere… soooo cute… DUSTIN came and helped my daughter she’s 6 she was a bit nervous, but I really do think that dustin’s nice attitude totally put her @ease. She looked sooo happy getting her bangs cut… she loved the place and said «can you please bring me here all the time I need to cut my hair».
And I totally will. Loved it! So thankful to have found this place :)

My 4yo daughter was nervous to cut her hair for the first time but she had so much fun getting her nails done, sitting in pink jeep, watching frozen and getting her hair braided that she was happy and smiling the whole time. She loves her hair. I think her name was Trisha but she was so good with her.
