If I could give the Perry Highway Sharkeys a -5 I would. The stylists in the past have always been kind and given my little one nice cuts and been warm and patient with her. However, for the second time we arrived 8-10 mins late to her appt due to me needing to pause bc I have diabetes and can't drive with a low sugar. Both times the male manager greeted us with contempt instead of professionalism and when I asked if there was a way to just have her bangs trimmed I was cut off and told I'd have to wait over an hour even though two stylists were there with no clients. My child is half Asian and the sneering attitude from the particular person is markedly different from how he treats caucasian children there. If you don't have a blonde, white kid I suggest you try the other location or somewhere else. we were fortunate to get a better cut down the road at Harmony salon for half the price and zero the racism/ negative energy. read more

Way overpriced. Terrible quality haircuts - two boys' fades are inconsistently cut and uneven. Atmosphere was friendly to kids but owner and stylists did not make us feel welcomed. Will definitely not be returning and will be relaying this message to all I know. read more

We booked our appointment at 5:20 pm on 09/20/25 for my daughter with Stylist Jennifer. We got text that Jennifer was sick and given another stylist Danyell. We Ok'ed it but also requested for the stylist who handles the girls who doesn't like haircut. The lady who sent text confirmed it. We got another text around 3:30 that our appointment was moved to 5:30. We got there around 5:15 pm. And Danyell was cutting other kid and done with him around 5:40 pm. Danyell asked few questions and started prepping my daughter who is discouraging us and stylist for cut. Finally Danyell was ready to cut where my daughter is sitting but by then she was telling us she would not able to complete the job even before start and giving us various explanations and keep on saying ' i can explain' several times. Stylist and Asst. Manger wanted to wrap and push us out. I asked them why they are saying not to finish her hair cut. There were 3 -4 team members are there but none is trying to do anything get this haircut complete. Everyone is waiting close the operation for the day. Danyell asked us to come another day. I declined. We drove 1 hr 15 min to get this done at this place. Sharkey's team is able give additional time for other people who were squeezed before us. And able to check several times to do the work according to their satisfaction. I have read other comments about other Sharky's locations too. I have seen similar ones against non-locals. Few of my observations at this location. 1) Asst.Manager at the location do not welcome guests or atleast us 2) She overbooked someone before us earlier the day of appointment and moved us 10 min after original appointment. Update came around 3:30 3) Throughout the appointment Danyell and Asst. Manager behavior is very weird. They love to defend themselves than doing the job they signed up for. 4) Asst. Manger has no clue what her role is and no-one even apologized from Sharkys today. 5) They were acting like we did something wrong and our ask was not fair. Finally with everyone arguments my daughter is done, exhausted after crying for the day and we left without a cut. 6) I sincerely advise the management to keep specific signs what kind of people they will accept. With political stigma everyone is doing what they want to without any wrong doing from their side. Asst manager and Danyell have really don't care attitude. We paid 15 dollars for removing braids and combing couple of times. All the best Sharkys, You guys Rock! Service less than 1 star Vibe less than 1 star for non- natives. Vibe Great for others read more

I had scheduled appointments for my 2 year old twin boys for a cut at 5p & 5:15p. We were running a few minutes behind, because they're toddlers & the after work traffic. At 5:06, we received a phone call (from the manager?) asking if we were still coming. I said yes & that we were 2 minutes away & apologized for the delay. We arrived & buckled one of our twins in the chair as we chose something for him to watch during his cut. At this time, I believe it was the same man who called had walked out of the back room & right up to us reeking of cigarettes. He said "I'll only be able to take one of you now because you were late." I said your door states you take walk ins & there isn't anyone waiting in line. He said yeah I can't take both of you. The poor stylist stood there shocked & I apologized to her because she would be losing money because of his decision, but we weren't going to get just one child cut. I also stated that this was bullshit because he should have said this on the phone when he called instead of waiting for us to get there, out of the carseats & in the chair. I also told him that we had been there multiple times before & each time we had to wait well over our scheduled appt time to get cut, the last time being 20+ minutes after our scheduled time. First, I admit we were in the wrong being late & I should have called, but never once when we had been there had our appointments ever started on time or close to it. But if you're running a child-centered establishment you have to account for the fact that toddlers have a mind of their own, throw tantrums & don't make it easy to be right on time for anything. Be considerate & tell the parent right away on the phone that you cannot take both of them, not once they're in the chair ready to go. We would've cancelled both appointments on the phone & gone elsewhere. Common sense, but if you're going to smoke cigarettes it's best to not be in peoples faces reeking like it especially when you're around children. read more

My grandson got his very 1st haircut today from Kim. He is autistic and non-verbal and can't stand anything right next to his ears. Kim was so good with him, she was patient and kind. She gave him an awesome cut and she took her time with him! Thank you again! We will certainly be back! read more

Kids were happy which was no small feat for their first professional haircuts at 2 and 7.

We love Sharkey's. My kids have been seeing Ashley for years. She's so patient and amazing with the kids. You won't be disappointed!

I cannot figure out how this place doesn't have 5 stars across the board. They are amazing with kids. My son cannot stand to get his hair cut and they are so patient and fast. And for girls, it can't be beat! Nails painted, a ring, hair cut and a fun style. My girls ask to come here weekly. Sometimes it's goofy to book online, so I generally call. Plus I think they have more flexibility to book when you talk with them. Don't hesitate! Take your kiddos :) read more

First haircut for our daughter and this was a great spot. The setting was perfect for our little girl. The stylist was very friendly and they knew what they were doing. read more

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Styling - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The quality at this place has really gone downhill. We've had multiple bad haircuts here but the one my son got last night was especially awful. It looks like the stylist was drunk when she cut his bangs, they are so uneven it's unfixable. She even cut my kid's neck pretty bad with the razor, he has a pretty large and deep cut. The service you pay for when you go is a cut, wash and style for little boys and he came home covered in hair, there was clearly no hair wash and it looked like she just tried to brush his bangs to the side to hide the terrible job she did. I called to talk to the manager and left a message, I've gotten no call back. He has photos tomorrow at school and what a memory we will have of the LAST time we will ever be going to Sharkey's. I want my money back. read more

We got our little man's first haircut done with Ashley & she was WONDERFUL!! She was very patient, let him explore the tools before using them, & kept him feeling very safe & comfortable the whole time. We will be back to see Ashley again! read more

First time customer. Went in for a cut for our kiddo. Paid $37 including tip for an uneven bob. We were in the chair for 10 minutes. I asked if we could schedule a 15 minute slot next time since kiddo didn't want a wash or dry or manicure or tattoo. They said no because you pay for the cut. Her hair isn't straight and I just can't. Never again. read more

They aren't wearing masks and would not verify if they were vaccinated. Since children cannot be vaccinated, this seems incredibly irresponsible. We won't be coming back. Thanks read more

We've been going to Sharkey's in Robinson for years now but I have never written a review. Whenever we go this place is always busy, so an appointment is a must! My daughter (now 8) graduated from the fun car chairs for awhile now, but she still loves coming back. She gets to watch her favorite shows while Kristen cuts her hair. Kristen is the best. She takes time with my daughter (and me) to agree on a cut that we can all live with. She has great suggestions and always does a really nice job. Added bonus- they wash her hair (so I don't have to) and they do a quick nail polish application (which she loves)! She's happy because she still gets a balloon and a toy when we're done. read more

My first experience at Sharkey's was exceptional! I booked our appointment online which was an easy process. When we arrived, we were immediately shown back to our chair with no wait. My husband and I were dreading this hair appointment as we were expecting our 18 month old daughter to have a meltdown at the salon. However, she did the opposite, quietly sitting in her chair until the end. Though I do believe that bringing our personal iPad with her favorite show helped quite a bit, the kid-friendly environment, the fun little car salon chair, and our great stylist was really the reason why we didn't embarrass ourselves in public. We selected the first haircut package that came with a little certificate, photograph, lock of hair, balloon, and treasure. Though the price tag ($30, I think?) might seem steep to some, I was overall pleased with the services. They did get a really cute photo of my daughter and I do wish that I had a digital copy, not just the paper. However, we will definitely be returning to Sharkey's and to our stylist Kristyn in the near future. read more

Unfortunately, our experiences got less & less impressive.. Every time we would go, it was like they were seeing us for the first time all over again. I understand you can't remember every face & my baby is no one special to them but at least put how you cut his hair in the computer so I don't have to attempt to describe it.. Monthly.. And, the haircuts weren't as good as the first time. They were never short enough and for a while I kept bringing him back but I won't anymore. Still great for a first haircut but the older they get - look elsewhere.. Especially for boys with fast growing hair like mine! ------- Took my 10 month old today for his first haircut.. I can't say enough good things about Stacey (also the manager). She did an AWESOME job cutting my sons hair. They had a first haircut package that included a certificate, a little bag with his hair, balloon, lollipop, picture, etc. It was $25 and well worth the 35 minute drive. Store was clean. All the girls were friendly. Awesome experience. We'll definitely be back!! Tip: always make an appointment - they get booked fast! read more

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So the place is cute and fun for kids. But the price of the haircut (which say it includes wash and blow dry although I have been twice and they didn't do it) is way overpriced for what you get. I also would expect the employees to be a little more kid friendly and they are not. I did it for my daughter and was unimpressed with the haircut but took my son to try again and for $25 plus tip it was totally not worth it. read more

Poor service, poor management. The business opens at 10am. It's 1043 and there is no body here that can cut hair.... read more

If you're looking for the best place to take your child for a haircut, look no further. We took our son (who has autism) to a couple of random salons for his first few haircuts, but after discovering Sharkey's, we'll never take him anywhere else. They're completely specialized in giving children a fun haircut experience. We always go to Ashley W. because she's amazing with our son. She even keeps a hair profile for him that has where his cowlicks are and other little details about his hair, which is a nice personal touch. I don't know why someone said they don't follow any Covid guidelines because they always have every time we've been there. I highly recommend!! read more

Says walk ins welcome.... we drive 45 mins to get here for our boys first haircut.... excited when we get in because 5 people working and only 1 child in a chair getting a hair cut so no wait time.... but they said they are completely booked for the day and they won't take him!?!? Super weird way to run a business, we were shocked. read more

Great place for kids cuts. At 3 yrs old my kid acts like he's being scalped during haircuts. Completely freaks out. The staff at Sharkey's are able to settle his crazed butt and also give him the cutest hair cuts. How they do it? I don't know. I'm convinced they're some sort of wizards and are using magic on my kid. Or maybe it's the cars that the kids sit in during the cut and distraction methods they use like paw patrol videos. Whatever it is, they take my monster for long enough to leave him looking sharp & his hair looking fantastic. read more

They definitely know what they're doing when it comes to children's haircuts. I took my 10 month old son to get his first professional haircut recently because I couldn't stand the mullet that was forming. The hairdresser was quick and very precise despite his meltdown and constantly turning head. We opted for a fohawk which could look good styled or left alone. The haircut lasted probably less than 5 minutes but everything was even and clean cut! My only complaint was during the hair cutting process, there was hair all over his face, hands, and clothes. While I saw the lint pick up roller in the front which I used for his clothes, I was disappointed that they didn't clean his face up or at least offer us a wet towel to clean him up. I ended up using the wipes in his diaper bag to clean his face up before leaving. I saw other hair dressers using wet towels for the other kids so maybe our stylist left my son alone b/c he was doing that hyperventilating type of crying...but getting offered a wipe/towel would have been appreciated. Other than that, I didn't have any other issues about the place. The haircut cost $18 which was totally worth it. We even bought some kid-friendly styling gel which should last us years, since you only need a tiny bit. read more

Today we went to sharkeys for the first time with my 2 year old son. He was scared and not very easy to cut!!! He was all over the place. I do not remember our stylists name unfortunately, but she was awesome!!!! My sons hair looks so adorable. She was so nice and patient and fast. She did such a great job!!! Thank you so much. I would def return. read more

See all

We took my son here for his first haircut today. We couldn't have been happier! They consulted with us and gave us some guidance (which I am glad we did because if they listened to me my son literally would have had a mullet hahaha)! Ashley was so patient and entertaining for our son, you can tell she does this for a living! I honestly didn't think the pricing was too bad either. You pay for a nice haircut, a cute experience and people who work well with kids. We'll definitely be back! read more

New to the area and first time here. Yelp said walk-in welcome but they are definitely more appointment preferred. They seemed stressed about fitting us in but were really nice and made it happen. I was just looking for a cut but they do more of a package. My daughter is still scared of getting her haircut so it really helped her that she got to get her nails done. They also far exceeded my expectations on the styling. The braids were so cute. Kids also get a toy and balloon so well worth the $25. It's important to know you can only tip in cash but can pay with credit card. They don't have an ATM but there was a sign that said their is one a few doors down at a nail salon. read more

Had a few good haircuts for my daughter and one bad. However, my issue is appointments and price. Last two times I made appointments the wait was over 20 minutes. I don't wait that long at the pediatrician! Kids are not that patient and it messes up my plans for rest of the day. Salon de la Juene in Moon has a set up with tvs and car chairs like this place but is half the price. And they respect appointment times. read more

This is a great concept but I believe if it was ran better that they may be more successful. Twice now I have tried to take my toddler there without an appointment. They clearly advertise " walk ins welcome". I completely understand not being able to get in right away or even that day when I choose to walk in. That being said, both times I have stood there for at least 20 minutes without even so much as a nod of someone's head. Both times I was then told " sorry we can't take you today , we are booked". Seriously? I have made appointments in the past and am generally pleased. All I'm asking is get more staff either to answer the phone or simply greet someone when they walk in. So basically what Im saying is get rid of the walk in service or at least acknowledge your customers before you make them stand there with a toddler , only to be told you are booked. It's simple. read more
