He's very slow to warm, but she puts a gown on me, we sit him in my lap and he also gets a gown. And then he happily watches whatever is on the tv she is showing. The first handful of visits she only used scissors to cut his hair. But when I asked to go shorter, she gave him ample time to get used to the sound and let him feel the vibrations before attempting to cut his hair. While he has gotten a mouthful of hair a few times because he's so ticklish, she is so kind and patient with him. We always finish with time to spare and he loves to pick out a prize from her prize box or play with her toys! We now have a standing appointment every 8 weeks to see her and keep my guy looking fresh!

Literally love coming to Sharkey's in Poway!!!! We've been…read morecoming here for a while and by a while I mean a couple of years. My son was a toddler since we started coming here. I will say it took my son some time to get use to a hair cut in which he would yell and scream. However the stylist were very patient and kind. My son is now 6 and sits like a champ through his haircut. Of course, the option of watching tv or playing games helps distract him. We've also kept to a single stylist which her name is Marisol. I love how she still listens to what we want but also inputs suggests new ideas. For the past 5 or 6 haircuts, she has been the one to cut my son's hair and honestly we'll keep the same. Marisol will always be the stylist we pick! At the end of every haircut, my son gets his lollipop and balloon. Along with his haircut, we build up points ; so make sure to create an account because if you have a certain amount of points you can get a free haircut!!!!!

I recently took my daughter in for her very first "professional" haircut. We booked an appt with…read moreHoatham for a Sunday. We came in and the place was packed. My daughter got a seat towards the back since she was older. The ambiance was very kid friendly. There was a tv at the station so my daughter got to watch something. It was very quiet. No music or anything. The service itself was nice. My daughter got a wash, haircut, style and her nails done. She loved it all. The reason for my 3 stars is the cut itself. I did not realize that the cut would just be a blunt cut across. I was watching the whole time and Hoatham did not try to measure the sides or make anything even. She was just chopping away. My daughter's hair is very thick at the bottom with no texture at all. It's also not cut evenly either. I actually had to try to fix what was done at home that night. Honestly I would have rather gotten a better haircut instead of all the extra stuff for the price we paid. I don't think I will be coming back here.

Kim Luna is truly one of a kind. She has cut both of my kids' hair over the years, and she's been…read moreworking with my youngest since 2021. My youngest is on the spectrum and was nonverbal for a period of time, and haircuts have always been a very difficult and emotional experience for him. From day one, Kim has shown an incredible level of patience, kindness, and genuine care. She never rushed, never forced anything, and always met my child where he was at. That kind of understanding is rare--and it made all the difference for our family. Because of her consistency and compassion, she has built a strong level of trust with my son over time. On his most recent haircut on April 5, 2026, he didn't try to jump off, fight the haircut, or kick--something that used to be a real challenge. That progress meant everything to us, and it's a direct reflection of the safe and supportive environment Kim has created over the years. I've followed Ms. Kim from location to location because it's nearly impossible to find someone with her level of skill and heart. She is currently available at the Little Locks locations in Bonita, La Jolla, and Solana Beach, which just makes her that much more irreplaceable and accessible to families across the area. I've also recommended her to other parents of children with special needs, as well as my regional center coordinators, because she truly is a special human being who deserves to be recognized. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also deeply compassionate and understanding, Kim Luna is the person you want. We are beyond grateful for her.

I used to get my lifts at another place that was more than twice the price for the same result, and the chemicals smelled much harsher, and my eyes would burn. Love that I find a place that produces the same result, closer to home, for less money. My lift came out with one or two lashes slightly overpermed, and Kristina insisted on not charging me. As a former small business owner, I would have done the same even though I told her I would still be happy to pay because I still left looking better than I came in the door! Highly recommend lash lift and tints with her!
