    When Linda and Scott Sharkey took their kids to get haircuts in uninviting, unexciting salons, they 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 they then knew the business model was successful. In 2006 the first Sharkey’s franchise was sold. In just two short years 20 more salons opened in the United States and Canada. As of Q2/2011 Sharkey's Franchising Company has global commitments for 345+ salons in the United States, Canada and Europe, making us the fastest growing children’s hair salon franchise.

    Sharkey's is now the most innovative and entertaining salon for both boys and girls ages 0-14 around the globe. Our proven business models, which feature lower than average royalties and multiple revenue streams, give you the best opportunity for success. In summary, Sharkey's is:
    • A unique salon just for kids
    • The fastest growing chain of children’s salons in the country
    • 48 stores in the US, Canada, and Europe and commitments for another 345+ new stores
    • Part of a $55 billion hair care industry
    • A service business in strong demand even in a downward economy
    • A fun and exciting place for children
    • A business that delivers multiple revenue streams:
      • Haircuts for boys and girls, and moms and dads
      • Birthday parties in our “famous” Glamour Room
      • Specialty merchandise and party favors
    A recession-proof industry

    Hair care is a $55 billion per year industry. It is estimated that hair care for children makes up $5 billion of the market. According to the 2000 census, there are over 52 million children between the ages of 0 and 14 in the US and they average 8 haircuts per year. This is the Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids target market. Children’s hair salons and entertainment style hair cutting have recently begun to gain momentum and the growth rate is phenomenal. Sharkey’s leads the industry, having overtaken its closest competitor in 2008 with the ranking of “Fastest Growing Children’s Hair Salon” from Franchise Times.
