My little guy would always cry through every haircut... I was the mom in the mall salon with the screaming child! We had an amazing experience at Sharkey's... my little guy loved every minute of his haircut...not one tear!!! The TV's, video games, toys and balloons were definetely very inviting for him and made him feel that he was in a place made just for him. The staff were wonderful and friendly and my son received a great haircut!! I highly recommend Sharkey's to everyone with children of all ages!!!
