My daughter's are always happy with the cuts they get and it's a welcoming place to be

I am very appreciative of this place for kids haircuts. I live in Long Beach and make way to get to Cerritos. Been here a total of 3 times, and I haven't been let down. First haircut was with Olga when my son turned 1. Easy breezy and he was happy with Ms Rachel on tv. I came a second time with Jennifer since my besf recommended her but I feel like my son did better with Olga. Jennifer was accommodating and had me sit with my son because he was terrified but she didn't talk to him and try to ease his crying. I feel like Olga was more tender and affectionate and my son needs that during the cut. I think it's just different personalities and that's fine, but I was also overwhelmed as he was yelling and the whole experience was chaotic. It's just finding the stylist that fits your child's needs. Anyway we're happy lol read more

Amazing place for kids cuts - my son sat in a car chair and got to pick a show to watch on the TV. Olga cut his hair and did it so quickly! We love it! They also give the kids balloons, stickers, and lollipops afterwards. Highly recommend! read more

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Interior - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Cerritos, California

Scheduled an appt through their website and then received a text regarding my appt. I told them I would be coming in earlier and they said they will give me a stylist available once I come in. When I got there the girl told me Olga was at lunch and no other stylist available. I got so confused cause what if someone walked in without an appt? They had to wait also? So I waited 30 mins until Olga arrived only to see other stylist inside the room in the back. So I'm not sure what happened there. This place is great for kids for sure more expensive than most. $36 for a cut with Xbox and it was like 10 mins long so not sure if worth it for me. But definitely give them a try. I hope they work out their stylist availability. read more

We had a very nice experience at Sharkeys . They had cute cars for son as well as tvs to distract them with. If your child is really young like mine that's only 1 . I suggest bringing cookies or some kind of special treat . It really helped when she used the clippers on him . read more

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Boy haircut with gel - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Cerritos, California

Very disappointed in this location we showed up and was told there were fully booked. But there was no people inside only one other kid getting a haircut. My son is autistic and was already having a hard time coming in. I get it if u don't want to cut my sons hair because he was already a lot but dang very disappointed in this location read more

To be a children's driven business you would think they level of customer service, and patience would be better. The 3 minute late policy is completely absurd especially when you know what it's like dealing with LITTLE KIDS. I can understand 5min or even 10min but seriously 3minutes almost seems disrespectful. You know with kids anything can happen. Besides that the front desk seriously shows lack of patience and communication. Even when they are in the wrong and you are accommodating to their changes, they don't give you the same respect back Also, the haircuts alone are a hit or miss. It's best to try and stay consistent with the same person so you can get similar results. Wasn't worth the headache anymore, going some where else. read more

We came here for my toddler's first hair cut. Brandy was extremely sweet and was clearly a pro at handling kids that might not sit super still. We will absolutely be back. read more

I brought my daughter here for her very first haircut, and unfortunately, it was not the experience I hoped for. My daughter has autism, and while she's generally very calm (and was perfectly calm in this situation), the stylist made her disability unnecessarily obvious. Every time my daughter simply turned her head to glance at the scissors not crying, not fussing, just looking the stylist would dramatically say, "OK, OK, I'll stop." Instead of making things easier, it created a very uncomfortable and isolating environment for us both. What made it even more frustrating was that the stylist mentioned she had experience working with children with disabilities. Based on the way she handled this situation, I honestly don't understand how. The cut itself was also disappointing, barely a trim and surprisingly expensive for the lack of effort or sensitivity. As a parent, all I wanted was a positive, welcoming experience for my daughter's first haircut. Sadly, we left feeling let down and excluded, and I would not recommend this salon to other families seeking an inclusive space. read more

My husband took my son in for an appointment with Brandy this morning. She did a terrible job. It's horribly uneven. I called to see if we could come back to fix it as we're leaving for vacation this week. They refused to squeeze him in today and didn't so much as apologize for the inconvenience. She said (with an attitude) the best she could do is fit him in tomorrow which doesn't work bc we have work and school. If I messed up at my job like this, I would offer a refund and bring the person right back in to fix it immediately. Terrible customer service!! read more

I was leaving after being happy with my boys haircuts and overheard staff complaining about the amount of tip I was leaving. I try my best to always tip what I have and know tips are valuable in the industry. Supper disappointed about how I felt about that. One of the staff was not happy about giving service from the beginning and made the experience unsettling. Won't be coming again. read more

We love it here! We've been booking our appointments with Olga and she does a great (and quick!) job. My son actually sits through his haircuts with her and doesn't cry or get fussy at all! We will keep coming back + when my second baby boy is older I'll bring him here too! Thank you Olga + Sharkey's! read more

I have been taking my boys to Brandy at Sharkeys for years. She is amazing, patient, and so kind to my kiddos. Her service is quick yet efficient. My boys always walk out looking their best. I love & highly recommend making an appointment...we never have to wait beyond our appointment time. We will follow Brandy anywhere! :) read more

Brought my son for a haircut about 3 months ago, and we liked it enough to book an appointment again today. I was 10 minutes late, and spoke to the receptionist and she said she had to ask the stylist first if she can take us in. So we waited and once she came out she said she wouldn't be able to take us. Yes,that is my fault but come on it's a kids hair salon. Kids have accidents etc. Especially because the last time I came I had to wait for the stylist for about 10 minutes for my son to get his haircut. Do not recommend this place. read more

Abysmal customer service and they try to soak you for more money with the toys but since they are the only kids haircut place in the area, people flock to them. Definitely avoid. read more

Oh my goodness!!! Bea, you were so personable, patient, and efficient with my son's haircut. When I got home, I just kept looking at how great it came out. Cannot thank you enough. Thanks for the great service! :) we will be back to see you!! read more

My daughter got her 1st haircut today with Jennifer and will not be returning. I was 6 minutes late and as soon as we walked in I apologized for being late and was told they could see us but not wash my daughter's hair. As others have mentioned, this 5 minute late policy does seem a bit extreme especially when there are no other customers. On their website it does state that if more than five minutes late, the customer will be treated as a walk in. There were two employees there and not one other customer so I thought they could have washed my daughter's hair. The haircut overall felt very rushed to the point that she even painted over my daughters old nail polish instead of removing it and painting her nails. Overall, Jennifer just seemed like she did not want to be there. I think they could definitely work on their customer service skills especially since it is a salon tailored to kids. read more

They have a 3 minute late polity , which seems unreasonable to be honest ... there's that. Quality of haircut is dependent on who you get although even that's been a hit or miss. We've had stylists cancel on us without accommodations same date on multiple occasions . The price is on the higher side for a kids cut ... Environment is nice . Kids get balloon and candy after cut . The cars are cool for the littles And the Xbox was a life saver for training our kid to get a haircut . Pros and cons like any place you make your choice. read more

We love Sharkey's! We've been coming here for 3 years and love Brandy and everyone working. They make my kids feel comfortable when getting their hair cut. My kids get to choose between video games, what show to watch, and where to sit when they come in and they love that choice. When they are done they get prizes that they look forward to every time. Brandy is our absolute favorite hair dresser and helped my child a lot when they had a hard time getting used to hair cuts. Brandy is so patient and attentive. read more

We came here for our son's "first" "official" haircut prior to his first birthday. We had trimmed his hair ourselves before but it was more maintenance vs looks. But finding this place, it seemed like a very unique and fun place for a kid to get their first haircut with a stranger. This place had fun colors and props and TVs to distract your kid with their favorite shows. So the pros: - The race car he was in and the TV with Ms. Rachel seemed to distract him enough to not cry once during the cut (or maybe he wasn't going to cry anyway? We'll never know) - The haircut was fine - Get a lock of hair, some lollipops, and a balloon And the cons: - Expensive for a 10-15 min cut. Believe it was high-$30s and mid-$40 after tip - Our barber, Brandy, who was mentioned in several other reviews was a little off-putting. She wasn't unfriendly but she just didn't really interact with our son much at all like the barber on the other chair did with her client, and kind of relied on Mom to interact with him - Front desk was kind of the same way. Not unfriendly but just kind of cold, no smiling at all...which is fine but I guess not what I expected at this colorful happy kid place? Overall, in the future, I'll probably just try to cut my son's hair on my own or find a cheaper place, and throw on some Ms. Rachel on an iPad and see what happens. read more

This place is my go to for haircuts for my son. I can almost always get the same day appointment, and they ask all the right questions to ensure we get exactly the cut we want. We've even moved out of the immediate area, and I always make sure to bring my son here when we're back in the area because the service and cuts are better! read more

Jaelyn was so amazing with my grandson... he hates getting his haircut it really freaks him out... she was do's patient with him and did an amazing job and we will definitely be back when it's time for another cut read more

Have been coming here for 2 years now and was sad when Brandy left. I'm so happy she is back now. I love how she cuts my son's hair.

Brandy is the best! I'm so glad she's back. Great customer service & my little ones haircut is always well done!

We usually go to the Costa Mesa Sharkey's but decided to go here instead. Just as great service, just as kind staff. Our hairdresser (Lola? Not sure, wish I could remember her name) had fun fuzzy boots on pink and blue stripes in her hair. She was so gentle and kind to my son, even patiently listened and interacted with him as he explained MineCraft to her as he played. Definitely will be booking again! read more

Second review. Probably not coming back. Staff is nice and understanding with kids, esp if they are crying. But the haircut is not cute. I'm sad and disappointed. I didn't realize how ugly the haircut was til my husband pointed out and after we bathed our son. Before we left the salon, the lady styled his hair with gel. After we washed the gel off, the haircut looked horrible!! It looks like he got a bowl cut from the front view! And the lady shaved off too much hair from the back. He looks like he has a toupee on. Look at the pictures for reference. I know hair grows back, but for the price we paid and the fact that we have an event in a few days, hence the need for a new haircut, I'm just disappointed. It seriously looks like I cut his hair myself. My husband will try to fix it. read more

Showed up 2 mins appointment was 1:10 was in there at 1:12 after appointment still honoring their 3 min late policy and didn't take me in. It was the attitude that did it for me no problem with their policy but if you don't honor your end I do not see a point in coming back. read more

Just have a little patience with kids, as far as I know this place is for kids right? Just try. Even just a little. You know who you are. Just try. We were turned away in an instant cuz my child is a typical child that's having a fear of unknown. So my kid is scared and crying. I'm trying to warm up my kid by talking engaging him with his surrounding but I felt rushed by this lady. Our first time here is when my baby was 1 yr old, we had a great experience. But this second time around with different lady, it was a very bad experience. We are early and we have to wait for her for about 10mins to finish up her previous client. Just for us to be turn away not even 5mins. Anyway, thanks to you! We find another Lady that does it real good! My kid loves her, yes, my kid had a little bit of tantrum but she did great with my kid, she is so patient, she waited til my kid get used to the environment and voila! My kid almost doesn't want to leave her place. Oh gosh! My kid had a blast at COOL KIDS CUT by Thao! I highly recommend her. Check it out. read more

Everybody at Sharkey's are so nice, they have the best customer service! My son sees Brandy and she is awesome! My son loves seeing her and has a great time every time!

They ruined my so son's hair, the style was horrible and took a while for him to regrow and fix.

Jennifer was awesome with my son who is autistic. That's the best he's ever been during a haircut. She was patient and considerate towards him. And the haircut was exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you! read more

We searched for a kid friendly place for my grandson to get a haircut not realizing we didn't have to look too far!! I used to live in Cerritos and I should have know I can find just about anything by in this beautiful city. Anything you need you can find here. Everything in Cerritos is good quality, the homes and the people are beautiful and the shopping is to die for!! So in my search on Yelp, I was directed Sharkys! A hair salon catering to only children and babies compete with all the glamour for girls and hot rods for the boys. Yes, you get your haircut inside a cool little car! There are TVs up above and your child can watch Cocomelon or Baby Shark while he/she gets a haircut. The salon is decorated very cute, any child would love it here. There are lots of hair care products for children and toys too. The girls who work here are lovely and sweet. Our Noah is difficult to work with but our lovely hairdresser made it happen. We selected Brandy because of the reviews and recommendations. She worked well with Noah and got the job done right! When you book online you get to select who you want as your hairdresser for your little guy or gal. The website is great and we were very pleased with this business. Highly recommend!! Ps, there's even a beautiful disco ball!! read more

I think these pictures are self explanatory. My husband took our son in to get a hair cut today 07/05/24 and this is how my son returned home. It's unfortunate as we are going out of town this weekend and I thought that this place would give our son a nice haircut based on the reviews. read more

I got my two year old for her first haircut here. I was quite surprised to see that she bonded with the hairdresser immediately. She sat on her own all through her haircut in her little toy car chair , and she was offered a box of stickers , she barely noticed what was going on and overall it was a pleasant experience! She also got her tiny nails painted pink and I was very impressed with their ability to bond with young children overall. She also got to walk out with a balloon in the end and some cute bows read more
