At first, I went to another salon and was turned away immediately. *I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing the regular masks that everyone else does AND I carry a signed medical excuse note with me. What I can, and do, wear is a face shield* The other salon just blatantly said NO. So, I went to Cost Cutters. Tai was very friendly as soon as I walked in. Told me to sit down and actually worked with me to figure out how to cut my hair while wearing my face shield. It almost brought me to tears how nice and understanding she was. The haircut was perfect. I will definitely be going back and ask for Tai every time.

One stylist was there and managed to cut and manage the front while keeping track of the order. It was busy but she was very efficient.

He even let her do the clippers which was unexpected. He has a very cute hair cut and for $15. I am very happy and will be coming back for the next cut.

If you look at the pictures I shared you can see exactly why I am writing this review…read more My sister took my nephews to get there haircut last week and there was one hair dresser in the store. We were a walkin and normally she schedules an appointment ahead of time but didn't this time. I understand that the inside of the location is very overwhelming, and all to look at and be disrespected with. Plus at the end of your haircut you get to get a prize "sticker". The hairstylist fake eyelashes were so long and thick maybe that is why the hair cuts came out messed up because she can't see? When you are given this form of service it is hard to leave a tip. I understand a family with two children walk in while my sister's boys were getting there haircut. I don't know if the hairstylist felt rushed or what. This was there last visit.

(Queen), the owner, is extremely militant about customers wearing the mask while in her salon. If you think you can go in this salon on a Saturday morning to relax while getting your hair done with a cup of coffee to sip while leaving your mask around your chin, think again! Queen was monitoring me between every sip, during my consultation with Renee, to make sure I replaced my mask. When I told her I wouldn't be coming back to her salon due to this, she THANKED me! There "are" other good salons in GT who are not militant with patrons. Sometimes, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Queen made it clear she didn't want my business. Mind you, we can go to any restaurant and not wear a mask during an entire meal, but we can't take two sips of coffee without the mask at Artsy Salon. If she's so concerned about keeping viruses out, maybe she should be screening people's temperature at the door. Although I love Renee, my stylist, I will never return to this salon due to the MILITANT disrespectful treatment I received! PS - At this time, to my knowledge, the only businesses requesting or requiring masks are medical facilities.

I booked an appointment with Shelby for my 4 yo son . She seemed to be very sweet ! But was a disaster when it came to giving a cut . Even after telling g her soo many times to be careful she ended up giving a cut and left his ear bleeding! She was so slow as if she din knew what she was doing ! 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 !!! LOL know what there was no one in the salon except us ! Pretty well explains why ! Not going back to this place !

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.
