Our Oceanside and Poway locations are 2 of over 120 Sharkey's Cuts for Kids across the country. How did it all begin?
When Linda and Scott Sharkey took their kids to get haircuts in those uninviting, unexciting salons, they always felt there should be something better.​
So they set out to create a unique salon that caters to children of all ages. A place that is prompt for those on-the-go parents, fun and entertaining for their children, and reasonably priced for their wallets. Hence – Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids was born October 1, 2002.
​
The first salon was a huge success, and in 2004 they opened their second and third stores. The requests for franchises started to accelerate within months, and in 2005 the first Sharkey’s franchise was sold in the US.
​
Sharkey's Cuts for Kids remains the fastest growing children’s hair salon franchise and an Award Winning Kids Hair Salon Franchise – 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021!
