We were on time and had appointments but the staff completely disregarded us and serviced customers who had later appointments than we did. Other parents even commented that we arrived first, but the sharkeys staff ignored us anyways. This was after we had already been waiting 20 minutes, and after our first appointment was scheduled. read more

They just get the kids in and out and my little guy now looks like he is a drill sergeant . For 30.00 you should take your time. Won't be back . read more

Had my kiddo looking fresh for new years! Easy to schedule, haircut came with a wash and blowdry. The stylist was kid approved - he did not cry at all! Got car shaped seats, tv and toys around. Best part after the haircut is obviously the balloons and lollipop after. Could have been a painful experience but thanks to sharkey for making it look easy! read more

My daughter is very sensitive to haircuts and Sharkey's put her at ease! We loved the haircut and will be back!

Yuliana is the best!! She was so good at working with my son who wants to grow his hair out - she made him feel so special and gave him an awesome haircut to boot. It was also very affordable compared to similar places for much higher quality. My son enjoyed his time so much that he can't wait to go back again! read more

Great cuts and the littles seem to be entertained. They typically always have the right flavor dum-dum for the treat afterwards. Thanks!!

Jay Jay has been getting his haircut with Ms. Nancy, the best children's stylist in Austin, since he was 6 months old. She is a new stylist to Sharkey's but she's been cutting our Jay Jay's hair since he was born pretty much. We have followed Ms. Nancy for the last 5 years anywhere she goes in Austin because she simply is the best. She knows how to make your child feel totally comfortable while getting their haircut and she is able to cut our son's hair perfectly. Our son has a flat head on top and many cowlicks and she cuts his hair, to make it look like he has a round head, and she is able to cut his hair perfectly to disguise the cowlicks. MS. NANCY IS THE BEST and we're glad she set up shop at Sharkey's. I ALSO FORGOT, today she trimmed my hair for the first time. I've had the same haircut for 28 years. It's straight and thin. I'm not going to pay $200 plus just for a trim at a salon. Sharkey's has Mommy & Child or Daddy & Child packages, that are extremely reasonable. It's a one stop shop and I'm extremely happy with my trim as well. Thanks Ms. Nancy. We'll see you again real soon ‍‍ read more

I took my son (almost 2) here a couple months ago for a haircut and was so impressed. Nancy is fabulous. She knew exactly how to comfort my son and explain what she's going to do for him. She was so patient! We went again on 8/20 and again, Nancy for the win! She let my little boy hold the clippers to feel it and hear it before she did anything as he was a little uneasy. Once Sing 2 was on and my son felt happy, she cut his hair and did a wonderful job again! Highly recommend! read more

Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids - Austin - First cut! - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Round 1 blew me away with how well he responded and the stylists ability to get the job done. Could have used a little more detail around the ears and neck line, though. Round 2 was a bit rough for the little fella! I thought it was going to be a breeze, and it wasn't. The stylist had patience which we greatly appreciated. I think the cut could have came out a bit better with the fading and detail, but our child was all over the place. I think a little more communication about cutting styles preferred and the willingness to move around the seat instead of moving the seat at around. He was distracted from the tv from the chair movement which was keeping him still. All went haywire after that... read more

I love the setup here, it's the perfect place for kids to get their haircuts Theres also little cars for toddlers to sit in while getting their haircut, Lightning McQueen, Police car and a Frozen Jeep. They even have a glam room (my favorite) HAIRCUTS for all ages, even mom and dad!! Forgot to mention Netflix or Xbox games to keep you entertained! Pretty awesome read more

Ms. Emma did a fantastic job with our Son's hair. Best hair cut he has had! (11month and on his 3rd haircut). Was able to hold him while she did all the snipping. Plenty of other things in the vicinity keeping him occupied and happy. We certainly found our spot for haircuts! read more

Unbelievable service! My toddler son had had 4 haircuts and they were all sub par. Moved to Austin and posted to Facebook asking for suggestions and was told to go to Sharkeys. The beautiful lady who helped us not only did a stellar haircut but dealt with my toddler whom was screaming and THRASHING like a mess the whole time. She was calm and understanding and didn't mind at all. It made all the difference. I can't thank her enough. Wish I remembered her name. We were in such a rush with my son yelling that we didn't exchange names. I'll be a regular at Sharkeys from now on. Incredible service. read more

These ladies are a god send. My two year old hates haircuts and cried as soon as we walked in. Everyone there immediately tried their best to make him feel at home. The woman cutting his hair obviously had dealt with this before and made us feel like we weren't alone in the matter and that kids were like this all the time. When we figured out that my son wasn't going to stop crying, she went right to cutting, she cut his hair fast and did a great job. Afterwards she gave my son a balloon and a lollipop and he was happy by the end of it. Will definitely come back. read more

First time visiting with my two girls yesterday(May 25,2021) and we all came out happy!(: From haircuts to minicures for my girls with a balloon and lollipop for the road how can I as a parent lose?(: John gave my youngest daughter's haircut first and did so good especially since her hair is a bit wild(: Then came my haircut and again did an amazing job(: He has a great personality, is SO patient and definitely can tell he loves his job(: Emma did my oldest daughter's hair but did all three of our French braids for our styles and we LOVED them(: She was very patient, great personality and she obviously loves her job no wonder she's a manager(: I've been to several haircut places for my kids and this place definitely made me feel the most happiest(: We are definitely sticking with this one(: For anybody who goes to this location JOHN and EMMA are the stylist to go to cause they do AMAZING!(: read more

I took my son to get a back to school haircut, and they did a great job! His hair looks great, and we were there for less than 30 minutes total. The kids can watch TV or play games while getting their hair cut, which is nice. I'll definitely go back! Everyone was very friendly. read more

First timers! My 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son loved this place and said they want to come back! Who wouldn't when you get to play video games while getting a haircut or having your hair washed, getting two cute hair clips, nails done, free ring. Emma did a great job and was so patient! Thank you! read more

This place is just great. Yolanda gave our 2.5 year old the best haircut he's ever had. She was sweet, patient, and careful. Our kid does not like having his hair touched yet she made him feel comfortable. read more

Unfortunately, the cuts were pretty bad. Staff was friendly and scheduling online was useful. The cuts were really sloppy on both boys. Uneven and not blended well at all. read more

It was great. The employees were masked and there was hand sanitizer available. No other customer was there at the same time. John gave a GREAT haircut!! read more

To start making the appointment was incredibly easy. About 15 minutes prior to the appointment time I received a text to let me know the stylist was ready! Upon entering we were greeted and checked in immediately. Yolanda gave us the option to sit together and I already knew things would turn out better than our previous visit to another local kids hair salon. Yolanda did a great job at making my boy comfortable and took the time to gain his trust. We didn't have a perfect experience only because my little one is still learning the whole process but the improvement I saw hands down had to do with Yolanda Not to mention that she took time to actually style his hair. The last place we went was absolutely a hack job lol I highly recommend this joint read more

Weekends you will wait 45 min even if you have an appointment. We made an appointment fir 3:15pm. We were asked to wait in the car for 15 min. Then they called us in. We sat and are still waiting at 3:57pm. Would you like to wait 45+ with a 3 year old? It's not easy. Probably will be going anywhere else after this as this is not the first time we have had this happen here. read more

I've been here twice and both experiences were great. I have a 5 year old and 2 year old - both of whom hate haircuts. Young did an awesome job cutting and managing their feelings. She was patient and sweet. They watched Netflix. Sat in Lightening McQueen cara. Got a balloon and lollipop after. And the owner is lovely as well. We happened to go on a Thursday when they run a promo for 3 and under. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Don't recommend. I just requested a boys cut and my sons hair looks horrible. We attempted to fix a couple times but it just kept getting worse. I will have to go to another place to get it fixed. The kids hair next to me was ruined also. :( I never leave bad reviews but am trying to help any mamas from reliving this experience. read more

I had a great experience for my sons first haircut! I cant remember my hair dressers name but she was so sweet and did a great job! I was definitely having some feelings about this milestone first haircut and she was so sweet to me as well. Will definitely be going back for his future hair cuts! read more

We've been here 4 times and we won't go anywhere else. My son hates haircuts and cries all the time but everybody is very accommodating and they are doing their best to make his haircut experience as pleasant as possible. Easy to schedule, fast service and all the ladies are lovely. Last visit was after reopening due to COVID-19 and they are doing an excellent job in keeping everybody safe. read more

Priscilla was our stylist and she was a dream! Patient and kind. My child was difficult. She managed to get it done! The place is clean, organized, and appealing to kids. read more

Going for a hair cut has never been fun for my kids.... until we found Sharkey's! The stylist was great, she knows how to make children feel comfortable and how to cut kids hair, listening to what parents ask :) The owner is very sweet and welcoming. The place is super fun, from the fun chairs to the nail polish station, the Xbox.... Lately my kids ask to go for a haircut because they want to visit Sharkey's and have fun! read more

John was absolutely amazing with my three toddlers. He was patient and fun and gave them great quality cuts. Can't wait to come back!

Great experience for my daughter's first haircut! Nancy made her (and me) feel comfortable and did a great job. We will be back!

This was our first time at the place after reading rave reviews so we decided to take the drive there.The place was very boring,the stylist was not at all friendly with my toddler as if she was rushing to get the haircut over with which I did not understand as we went with appointment and the saloon had no rush.She did a very basic job with uneven clipper work on the edges and then scissor cut on top which didn't even look neat.After haircut I had to remind her that I needed the wash after washing my sons hair was not dried which again I had to remind her.Last but not least my sons shirt was left wet which again I had to remind to be dried.By the end of it I was tired and was ready to head out.Never trying them again. read more

So excited to have a fun new place to get my son's haircut! Yoon did a great job. Good central location. We will be back for sure! read more

Great kid's cut by Emma! So fast and convenient! I was impressed and would highly recommend.

I did the 1st haircut package for my 8 month old with Yolanda and she was awesome! Very patient and didn't give up trying to get my baby's hair as even as we could since he hated the clippers lol.. I will be taking him back read more

For the first time in 6 years my kids love having their haircut. This place is wonderful at distracting kids away from sounds and feelings of a haircut. My kids get lost on Xbox and don't even want to leave when it's over. Price is great and staff are friendly and sweet. read more

My kid loves coming here! It's such a fun experience for her. Everyone that works here is super friendly and so sweet to all the children. Highly recommend it to anyone with little kids. read more

I love this salon for all 3 of my children. They are so kind, and great stylists! Plus the Netflix and video games make them all happy. Yolanda, John, and Emma as well as the owner have all been consistently fantastic. read more

Great haircut for my 4 year old son and my daughter got to get a pedicure while we waited. They were awesome! We will go back soon.

Precious place for kids cuts! The woman who cut my kids' hair did a great job on both and even gave my daughter a manicure which is included in the price of the haircut. They each can pick a movie, show or game while they get their haircut, and get to pick a balloon at the end:). read more

I took my sons, ages 10 and 11, to get their hair cut at the NEW Sharkey's on 360. It was a wonderful experience, and I thought the stylist, Yong, did a great job. My boys are special needs, and the owner offered to do "anything" that would help make the boys more comfortable. Yeah!! They actually turned off the music for us (which other places have refused to do). Of course, my one son just loved having more XBox One time! I highly recommend this business, especially if accommodations would help make this a good experience! read more
