She saw I had to bring three young kids with me and get them all out of the car. As a mom anyone would give a five minute grace period for this. I will NEVER step foot in this business again. I am glad I did not end up spending money at this establishment. The customer service was awful. I went back to my car and not one customer walked into that place for fifteen minutes. There are many other kid hair cut places so save yourself a bad experience and go somewhere else.

The hairstylist the last time (Courtney) was very rude to my daughter for being too fidgety (she's 4 btw and sat very still all things considered, but if she fidgeted, can't you manage that as a kids' hair stylist without shouting sternly at her and then me?). To top it off, while Courtney was cutting my daughter's hair, another stylist walked over to gossip about the client who just left and her mom. This place is toxic and does a poor job. I actually called the salon to speak with the manager to give this feedback, but since no one called me back, I thought you all should know our experience.

After the cut the other lady took over who was better but again if you don't know then don't take up the job !! Another thing that was a throw off - I requested them to play something on the TV which is why they are there and the other lady I think it was Shelly said they cannot play whatever we want and they cannot keep doing it for everybody... they even refused to turn the volume on !!!

I feel compelled to warn others about the dramatic decline at Sharkey's following their recent…read moremanagement change. As a longtime customer who brought three sons here for years, the transformation from trusted family establishment to assembly-line hair butchery has been both shocking and disappointing. Let's start with the dishonesty. Upon calling to inquire about our beloved stylist Hilda, we were told she had "retired and moved away with her kids" - a laughably transparent lie given her children are already in high school. A simple "she's no longer with us" would have sufficed; instead, they chose to insult our intelligence with an easily disprovable story. This disrespect for longtime customers set the tone for what would follow. During our visit, the new management's "quantity over quality" approach became painfully apparent. Despite specifically booking our sons with one stylist, the manager Shelly took it upon herself to "speed things up" by taking our oldest son, forcing my wife to coordinate two simultaneous haircuts. When my wife explicitly requested - multiple times - to wait for my arrival before beginning our son's cut, Shelly persistently ignored these wishes, badgering our son for styling decisions and starting the cut anyway. This complete disregard for client preferences seems to be their new standard operating procedure. The resulting haircut was nothing short of technical malpractice. The fade was uneven, the lines were messy, and the sideburns had an amateur's abrupt transition instead of a professional blend. Even my teenage son, who had never before commented on haircut quality, immediately noticed the poor workmanship, stating "I now believe you when you said Hilda was S-tier, this is horrible." He also noted how Shelly rushed through the cut, in stark contrast to Hilda's careful attention to detail - and the results clearly reflected this haste. While Sharkey's may continue to attract first-time kids' haircuts with their videos games / TV shows, they're clearly banking on parents being too distracted or inexperienced to notice their technical incompetence. What was once a convenient, quality option for families has devolved into an expensive lesson in the importance of skilled stylists. Save yourself the disappointment and find a real professional who respects both their craft and their clients. We'll be making the longer drive downtown to a proper stylist - the extra travel time is worth avoiding this kind of sloppy workmanship and customer service. For those considering Sharkey's: unless you're only interested in the video games and don't care about the actual haircut, take your business elsewhere. Your children deserve better than rushed, poorly executed cuts from a establishment that has clearly prioritized turnover over technique.

Things happen that we cannot control. The "woke" people at this location don't care. I won't ever be back. Update: Thank you for reaching out recently. We want to take a moment to address what happened during your last scheduled appointment. We understand that delays can happen, and we appreciate you calling ahead to let us know you would be arriving past our 10-minute grace period. However, as part of our company policy, we are unable to accommodate appointments that exceed this window. This policy is in place to ensure we remain on schedule and respectful of other clients' time, as well as our staff's availability. While we understand that the situation was frustrating, we must also kindly address the manner in which our team was communicated to, as we received your colorfully worded message. We strive to provide a welcoming and respectful environment for all our clients and staff, and we expect the same courtesy in return. Disrespectful or inappropriate language toward our team is not acceptable, and any future instances of this will be addressed directly by our corporate team. Apparently freedom of speech isn't protected with this company and shallow threats and lies are all that come from it. My reply: Firstly, I was not going to be more than 10 minutes late. I don't know where that came from. I appreciate timeliness like anyone else and that is why I was courteous enough to give a call and say I would be a few minutes late. I cannot control traffic. Secondly, my language is protected by the first amendment just like yours. I'm glad that you find that your staff should speak kindly and professional. Why not talk to Hemmy about using explicative language with his customers? How about having quality customer service representatives that care about their customers and how much they go through to be able to take time out of their days to be able to have a small amount of time to maintain their presentability? This was the one day that I had in two months to be able to get something done so I could have a cooler haircut in this Texas heat. I contacted another barbershop and even though google had their number wrong and I showed up to no appointment, they understood the situation and I was in and out in 25 minutes. That is courtesy. That is professionalism. I know that my business has no recourse on the overall sales of your business but nothing I said was untrue and nothing I said requires an apology. I said I wouldn't be back and that's the truth.

I love coming here to getting my hair taken care of when it comes to Japanese hair straightening…read more It was my second time coming here after my first retouch (April 2024) after my first ever treatment (at a salon in Houston, May 2023). They recommend coming back every 6 months for touch-ups but I managed to come back after 8, even though my hair definitely was in need of a trim at that point! Tammy and co. are super professional and attentive to all details of the straightening process. The process itself is long (~4 hours) but they help make the time go by with their efficiency! I was also able to get complimentary coffee, water, and chocolate throughout my session to stay awake. After my session, I was gifted with a holiday cup with treats! Highly recommend Detammy if you are looking for a reputable place for Japanese hair straightening in Austin.

So I figure I'll share my experience. I went here for the Korean straight perm. I've had it done before and know what it SHOULD look like. She just missed random pieces. I had a couple of stripes of curls mixed in. It was also stick straight in a way the prior times weren't- not just straight, but limp and lifeless. i know that it's supposed to give straight hair results, but... it was just different from what I've had before. By different, I mean worse. And then the haircut. Oh, the haircut. Maybe a blind squirrel chewing the edge of a hedge would admire this haircut, but no one else. It was crazy how uneven the back was, and zero layers. I went and paid for another cut at a different salon as soon as I could. So- won't be going back. And I miss California for their Korean hair salons! Anyone have a legitimately good rec in Austin?
