We've been to Sharkey's several times before,…read moreincluding for my son's first haircut, and those experiences were great which is why this was so upsetting. The stylist did ask what I wanted, and I showed her a reference photo, yet she still used only one guard and cut his hair much higher than requested, completely missing what was shown. The haircut felt rushed, and the lineup was badly done. Most concerning of all, she cut my son's ear, which is unacceptable and a serious safety issue at a children's salon. I am uploading photos of the style I asked for, my son's hair before the appointment, and the result afterward so the difference is clear. I trusted this place with my child, but after this experience, we will not be returning.

Deborah is the one to see if you're looking for a barber who truly cares about their craft and their clients. Highly recommend this place! I'll be back.

Our son is 10 years old and severely Autistic and as of lately haircuts have become a challenge again and he refused to let his dad give him one in over 2 months so his hair had grown a lot. I scheduled an appointment thru text message ( (505) 892-5439 ) and let one of the gals know that my son had never had a haircut done by anyone else but dad and that he needed a lot of patience since he can get physical and they said no problem. I'll admit I was very nervous bringing him in for the first time not knowing what to expect from my son who is also completely non verbal. He struggled at first to stay seated but the gal who cut his hair was so amazing with him and extremely patient that my son started to relax and he actually did very good. I appreciate their patience and understanding more than they can even imagine because things like this that may seem so small for others are HUGE for us and the ladies at Kid'z Place made us feel completely at ease. I will definitely be bringing my son back anytime his hair gets this unruly again and dad can't cut it. Highly recommend

Ashley is truly exceptional at what she does. She has been cutting my son's hair since he was just…read more8 months old, and now at 5 years old, he still looks forward to every visit. That alone says so much about the kind of experience she creates. What sets Ashley apart is her incredible patience and understanding, especially with young children and those who have sensory sensitivities. She has a calm, gentle approach that immediately puts kids at ease, turning what could be a stressful experience into something comfortable--and even enjoyable. Her salon is thoughtfully designed with children in mind. From the welcoming atmosphere to the dedicated play area for siblings, everything feels intentional and family-friendly. It makes a huge difference when you're managing more than one child, and it shows how much she truly cares about her clients' entire experience. Ashley is not only skilled, but also warm, friendly, and consistent. We've trusted her with our son's hair for years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any parent--especially those looking for someone who genuinely understands children's needs.

So I'm warning you, this is a long one. I wondered for a long time whether or not I should post…read more(especially seeing as she has so many outstanding reviews), and whether I was taking my experience too personally. Here goes.. I went in over the summer for a balayage and cut, I had just finished my first semester of grad school here and it was meant to be somewhat of a treat to myself. I had Melissa do my hair and she seemed friendly and considerate at first. Positives: The cut was fine and the dye job wasn't awful. Negatives: I had barely been sat down in the chair for 10 min when Melissa exclaimed 'wow your hair is soooo thin!' ok so this threw me off guard a little bit.. For one, my hair isn't exactly super thick, but it also isn't super thin either and besides that, I would think a hairdresser would know better than to make those kinds of comments. But ok, moving on, I chalked it up to insensitivity. Strike 2, we were chatting and she asked me 'where are you from', 'England!', 'oh but ethnically?' 'ahh my dad is iranian' 'ahhh! so thats where the thin hair comes from'. I kid you not, her words exactly. Who says that??? Way to make me feel like shit about myself. Third strike comes in the form of 'you have grad student hair, what happens is grad students don't eat properly, and they're stresses and then their hair starts to fall out'. Ok cool. At this point I have no choice but to put on a smile because I'm stuck in this chair for a good 2 hours or so. So the fourth strike comes when shes washing my hair and exclaims 'your hair feels nasty!' I'm literally gobsmacked and mumble something about 'It's probably product buildup..' she starts going on about how its from dying my hair too much and how hair dye strips the hair - guys, I haven't dyed my hair in 4 years and I say so, instead of accepting that I would know if I'd dyed my hair she replies with 'hmmmm are you sure, because hair dye causes damage like this..'.................................... Honestly at this point I'm on the verge of tears but holding it together. I've lost count of the strikes. Then comes the so called balayage. It wasn't what I wanted - didn't look faded in, she did such fine layers that it ended up looking like a weird blob of colour. Perhaps this was my fault and I should have been more clear, well at one point I said to her 'I know you know what you're doing but could you do the layers a little bit thicker but less of them' she gave me this look as if to say 'I know what I'm doing' and just said nothing. I've attached a picture of my hair that I took immediately after getting it done. This is just my personal experience but I would not recommend this place. There are much more talented hairdressers in town.
