We took our son here for his first haircut. He's one test old, and I was a bit nervous about how he'd do. The staff was so accommodating! They were friendly and helpful. They offered the smallest car so that he wouldn't wiggle too much. When he got distracted by the buzzer, she let him look at them and get used to it. His haircut was done quickly, but with care, and my son was happy the entire time. He enjoyed all the toys, playing in the car, and watching music on the TV. There is a dress up center in the back, but we didn't venture in on our visit. We bought a haircut package that included before and after pictures, a first haircut certificate, and a lock of hair. I was very pleased with the entire experience. read more

Pricey. Took my son here to get a quick cut. The set up is great for kids, with plenty of things to distract them from what's actually happening. My son was immediately drawn to the race car chairs they had, and almost catapulted himself into one. His barber was nice, patient, and took her time cutting his hair. Once he was done, he got a balloon and lollipop...two things that kids love. I wasn't crazy about the price (18.95), that's how much I pay to get my hair cut. However, given the atmosphere and a rambunctious kid, it's almost worth it. If they dropped the price to 12, that would be perfect. read more

Moved to this area recently and found this place for our kids haircut. We have been to Sharkey's at another location and it's been meh. This location definitely surpassed our expectations. We stopped by as a walk in and were told it would be about 45 minutes. But then the person at the register said there was an opening in about 1.5 hours if we wanted to come back later as an appointment, so we decided to do that. I'm glad they suggested an appointment because we came back and didn't have to wait over 1 minute! We walked in, told them our name, and our son went straight to choose where to sit. The person cutting our sons hair (I think her name was Val) was nice, friendly, and took care of our sons haircut quick. My wife tends to be very picky about our sons haircuts and she loved the way it came out! The location is kind of small but it's still good for kids haircuts. PLUS they have Netflix and they give out balloons when you're done! read more

They host children's birthday parties. They have a room in rear of store. Nice change from Chucky cheese or McDs. Prices are reasonable read more

My soon-to-be 3 year old son turns into some sort of screaming, thrashing, crying monster when in the vicinity of the doctor's office, the dentist's office, and the barber's chair. Thankfully, Ms. Stephanie is incredibly patient and does an outstanding job despite my son's constant attempts to escape and total unwillingness to cooperate! Stephanie is always so nice and professional, even though we keep torturing her by bringing our son to scream in her face for 20 minutes! I would 100% recommend Stephanie to cut your child's hair! read more

I think Valerie may not work there anymore but she was always so great with my son and his hair always came out so good! They let you pick what your kid wants to watch on their tvs and they get a balloon after. read more

Wonderful staff and very accommodating. Made an appointment for same day! The stylist made my daughters day by doing a beautiful braid and glitter hairspray. My 20 month is very difficult to give a haircut and she didn't have bat an eyelash! Wonderful and will be returning again! read more

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Hair Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Got my sons first hair cut here and the shop was nice. I asked for a trim because my sons hair was growing awkward but I didn't want it cut completely. She started by using clippers and completely messed his hair up. It's sticking out from all different directions. I would not recommend. read more

We waited for half an hour three stylists were sitting waiting for appointments.. when I asked if they could take us they said it only if appointments didn't show up... I get it, I should have made an appointment but why didn't she let me know? Also why didnt they stagger appointments like every other hair place... we have been to sharkeys many times and after this I think we are moving on... not happy with this experience. read more

I'm a child at heart. My wife has often accused me of acting childish. Neither of these however qualify me as a full grown man to get my hair cur at Sharkey's Cuts For Kids. I lament this fact more then I probably should. I honestly hope whomever came up with concept is on his or her way to becoming a billionaire. On one side of the salon there are colorful vehicles that kids can sit in while getting their hair cut, while on the other chairs infront of video game systems (PS3, XBOX) and DVD players that are running kid friendly shows. I have never seen kids sit so still for a hair cut in my life. On top of that they offer fun services (mostly to girls) once the wash and cut are finished that my girls love. The hair feather and glitter spray is popular with them and recently Sharkey's started offering hair tinsel. All amenities aside the hair dressers know how to talk to kids, which adds to the over all experience for them. Them being the kids. All I can do is sit back and be mind numbingly jealous that I'm not a little girl with long flowing hair. read more

My son really enjoyed the experience. He's a very fidgety 16 month old and the stylist cutting his hair was very sweet and patient. She did a wonderful job and he looks so good. Folks may think that $18 for a haircut is steep. You are paying for the experience and the atmosphere, but I'd rather pay for a place that will do a quality job over a butcher shop that will be impatient and scare my child as a result. read more

I have been taking my son to get his hair cut here for over a year, always been satisfied. A few weeks ago I wanted to get him a new style and they nailed it! I was really happy with the results. Today I took him again to get the same style, I showed the stylist the picture of the style I wanted and explained it in detail. The results were appalling! The stylist could clearly see I was not a happy mother! To top it off I was still charged! Not the full amount, but none the less charged for a haircut I could have done myself! read more

Jillian was so awesome with my son. She was quick, efficient and super sweet. It was my son's first haircut but she was so calming he barely cried. She moved with him and gave him the most adorable haircut. He's so handsome but I may be slightly biased. Love this place!! Great atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. read more

My wife took both kids for haircuts at this location today and both were horrible. We spent $52 on haircuts and the left side of my son's hair is long and the other side is short. For my daughter's hair I don't even know what to say. There are about 7 different lengths and they are all at different spots so there is no real reason for it. Now I have to take them elsewhere to get them both fixed as this is not the first time they have made mistakes and the last time they actually cut my son. STAY AWAY from this place!!! read more

If you're looking for a stylist with patience and who will give your kid a good haircut, ask for Stephanie. My nephew has been going to her since his first haircut and he loves her. He's a wiggleworm and she still does a good job on his hair. read more

The experience was so hands-down terrible at this salon that I'm actually writing this to warn other parents before they go to Sharky's for a baby's first haircut and face the very real possibility of the complete disappointment we faced and are still dealing with. We showed up at 9:23am with our 18month old son for our 9:30am appointment. We went with the baby's first haircut package - $27+. We get there and our son is not taken until nearly 9:40am. He was understandably antsy waiting that long. The stylist was great, hence the reason for the generosity in giving Sharky's 2 stars. She was awesome. However, the salon camera used to capture before and after shots (part of the package) was not working. So we have an 18month old waiting nearly 20mins - then another 10-15 while they try and figure out the camera situation. At this point our son was so upset - we wanted to walk out but our son's hair was in dire need of a cut as it was always in his eyes. So the stylist used a co-workers iPhone to take the "before" picture and proceeded to cut as quickly as she could because he was understandably not having it. Once done, they took the after photo on the same phone and then could not figure out how to print out his pictures from the phone. We were told they would call us or email us to come pick the pics up that same day. Well, we hear nothing from them (Saturday) until I had to just call today (Tuesday) and ask them where the photos were. I got short answers, they took my contact info- again - and I said that if they lost the before/after photos I would be in for a full refund. The experience was terrible. We are first time parents, our only child and this place for such a milestone occasion was the wrong choice. Steer clear of this salon if you are looking for an unforgettable experience that is positive for baby's first haircut. Sharky's is not the place for baby's first haircut as they are just a complete unorganized mess. read more

My boy always loves to get his hair cut here! Very friendly service.

Have been here 3 times, staff is always very nice and interact well with my kids. Hair cut has been very good each time and have seen 3 different people. Price is a little more than I would typically like to pay but it is worth it in my opinion for the service and quality cut you get. read more

Very upset with how my sons first haircut went here! He was nervous and scared and the lady doing his hair was very obnoxious towards him with trying to get him to smile for a picture and even called him a brat for not smiling. My son was obviously uncomfortable and she didn't back off. Seems like she had no idea how to interact with children. She then started cutting his hair like she was in some sort of hurry to be done and didn't even warn him or me that she was starting. It was so rushed that his hair around his ears and his sideburns are uneven. Also, even knowing we wanted a lock of his curls she just threw them to the ground and stepped all over them. The only nice thing about the place was the netflix my son could watch to help distract. Would not recommend and will not be returning! read more

We love Sharkey's on Bandera especially stylist Stephanie Vela. She is patient, sweet, and efficient when it comes to cutting my son's hair. My son's haircuts are always what I ask for and on point. We have been going to Stephanie for so long that when my daughter needed her first real haircut my daughter asked for "Ms. Stephanie." We love Stephanie! Don't forget to ask for her when setting up your appointment. read more

Clarissa did a wonderful job cutting my son's messy head of hair this afternoon. She had a "vision", and he looks so handsome! Great job, Sharkey's! read more

I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. My kids always have a great time and the haircuts are fabulous.

Great place for kids haircuts! Staff is very friendly!

Pricey but a really great environment for kids. All staff is great and they take adults also.

Perfect place for your babies first hair cut! They do a whole experience for them and for you. I really appreciated the interaction between them and the kids to keep them happy and the gifts they give the parents as a keep sake. read more

This is a great place to get your child's hair cut. The staff is always very friendly, the hair cut is always good. They even have vehicles as their barber chairs, and use cartoons to entertain the kids during the haircut. The only negative (which may be more location-based) is that they can sometimes be very, with lots of hair all over the vehicles. As for price, I think $18.95 is good for the cut and experience. read more

I brought my son here last month for his second haircut because we had such a good experience the first time. It wasn't bad, took the hairdresser about five minutes to do and he was entertained by a TV. I went to check out and it cost me $18.95 (not including tip). I looked at the brochure and it said a boy's cut cost $18.95 inc wash, cut, blowdry, style, etc etc etc.. there wasn't anything less. All he got was a cut and a balloon and it cost us $18.95. I can't fathom spending the same amount of money it costs to get my hair cut for my 18 month old. I'll probably be going to Rio's in the future. It's really not worth it if you've got a young boy. read more

I had my daughters 7th birthday at this location yesterday. After a number of positive experiences and even some Parents Nights Out, we were confident that although $400 for 12 girls was very expensive, that it would be worth it. It would have been ~ except for the most rude and disappointing hostess. 2 of the 3 (dark hair) were wonderful but the tall blonde seemed like this was the LAST thing she wanted to be doing on a Saturday. I let that go until a group of the girls were playing on the stuffed shark in the corner (I had no idea it was off limits) and she came storming over and told them "you are such RUDE kids ~ get off and have some manners". After I heard that and apologized profusely, she continued to ignore me and roll her eyes. I was mortified in front of the other parents there. She then asked I she could have my pizza that was left over and, of course at that point ~ I said yes but how rude is that? For the amount of money I paid I would expect these kids to be treated like princesses, not the way they were. My opinion: don't have a party there #sharkeys read more

Juliz was my daughters hair dresser and she was awesome!!! She did a great job and was very friendly. This place was awesome and my daughter loved it!! I will be going back for sure. read more

Wow from the moment we walked in the door until we left, everyone was very sweet and professional! My 4 year old had her haircut for the first time and was nervous, but CANDACE was so sweet and comforting, that my daughter was at ease and happy! Her hair was so pretty, my daughter asked when could she come back again?! We definitely will come back and I highly recommend this place to everyone!! The staff is AMAZING!! read more

Took my kids here and service was mediocre. But when I went to pay, I felt poked in the eyes when I had to pay $20 dollars a kid for a $5 dollar haircut. We just got a basic cut. "Paying" for the atmosphere is defiantly not worth it. It's a salon not an amusement park. Anyway, across the street is another kids cut where their prices are more realistic. Will defiantly not go back. read more

I took my son here to get a haircut and left wishing I hadn't come here. First let me say that my son is 9months old and had already had a haircut elsewhere and did great. So I come here to get him cleaned up and left with very noticeable blunt cuts that the lady didn't take the time to blend in, his sideburns are uneven and I wish she would have asked me if I even wanted them buzzed off(because I didn't!).the cut took 15min. Tops since its a baby's head and I paid over 30$ after I left a tip. Truly the worst cut ever! I should have just taken him to super cuts for a better job. read more

Terrible experience! I booked online two days advance and received confirmation for an appointment only to receive a call the day of the appointment that it was cancelled because they had a party. Shannon wasn't trying to accommodate us with reasonable options other than to wait until late afternoon but even then we couldn't get pedicures or their mini-cure service. I have a 3 year old and a 7 year old that are disappointed on a day that was supposed to be my daughters first hair cut for her birthday tomorrow. Do not book online! read more

I have had some very pleasant experiences with Sharkeys in the past but today's was quite the opposite. I had a booked appointment this afternoon and unexpectedly got stuck in traffic when a few lanes were closed coming down bandera rd so I arrived about 7 or 8 minutes late and was turned away. The girl behind the counter said they have a 5 minute wait policy before they give away your time slot. I did not read that on the website nor see it posted in the store itself. I also had been trying to reach the store at least 10 minutes prior to my appointment time when it was evident I would not make it in time but got a busy signal every single time. I must've tried calling a dozen or more times. I showed the girl the phone number I was dialing to verify it was correct and I redialed it over speaker to let her hear how it was going straight to a busy signal. She offered no explaination just stated "I don't know why it's doing that." She said they just now had given my spot away, there was no openings right after or any at all today. So I left very disappointed in my experience and upset my baby will not have his first haircut experience. Maybe it's just different now due to COVID but in the past salons have been very understanding and accommodating to situations like this. I'm sorry to say sharkeys has lost a customer for my kids' future cuts. read more

Call me a sucker, but I gladly pay $20 for a scream-free, tear-free haircut for my 2 year old. He watches Netflix while sitting in a car shaped chair with lollipop in hand and the patient, sweet stylist gives him a perfect cut. When he's older (and presumably less terrified of the experience) I'll take him somewhere cheaper. For now, I'm very happy with Sharkey's. read more

I had my daughter's first haircut done here. The stylist did an excellent job and gave her such a cute cut and style. They are so patient with the kids while being very quick at the same time. We will definitely be returning. read more

We love this place! I take both my boys to see Roberta and Brandi and they are very personable and great with my kiddos.

Brandi is excellent! She does a great job considering my son is under a year old and very squirmy! You can definitely tell she's experienced! She also cuts my daughter's hair and my daughter loves how her hair is styled afterwards! read more

Our regular hair stylist moved and she left us a recommendation to start seeing Klarissa. I took my 4 yo and immediately I could tell she was rushed. We went on and I explained how I wanted my son's haircut and she began to cut it. When i tried to let her know a few things that his previous hairdresser would do, she would nod or shortly answer without any real engagement. The only engagement was with the receptionist because I assume she was in charge, which is completely understandable. I did notice one of her regulars was a walk in and did not want to see anyone else so maybe that was why she was rushed. When she was through, I asked if she could go a little shorter on top and she recommended that if she did, it wouldn't lay right. I went on to explain that we always cut it shorter and it lays fine. My son has been getting the same haircut for a year. It was obvious she didn't want to cut it shorter, but she did, very little, like a trim. She then asked if it were ok? I said it was still a little long but we'd try it out. She was quick to stand up my son and when I asked my son if he was ready for a wash she asked my son, "oh, would you like your hair washed?" My son at times gets scared but I encourage him to wash it each time to get him used to it. She proceeds to call the receptionist, who couldn't be any older than 20 (which is stretching it) to wash my son's hair. Klarissa walked away and I didn't understand what was going on but I saw her call the next child, which was the regular customer I mentioned before. She never said another word to us. The receptionist turns on the water and says she hadn't washed anyone's hair all summer and chuckled nervously. My son kept saying "cold, the water is cold." So when I put my hand underneath the water, it was really cold. I said, "he's uncomfortable, please let the water warm." She then said, "well it just takes too long to get warm, besides, it's hot outside, it will keep him cool." I was appalled and beyond furious bc she did not stop and my son's head was full of shampoo. Needless to say, I will NOT be taking my children back there again. It's a shame bc both of my boys got their very first hair cut there and I had been very pleased until this visit. read more
