Sharkey's Cuts For Kids - Woodbury/Syosset

I will ONLY take my children to Yudi at Sharkey’s in Woodbury. I started bringing my son to Yudi around age 5. I had been taking him to a local barber and his little ear was nicked one too many times. The poor kid was traumatized and terrified to let anyone touch his hair. He would throw a massive tantrum. Yudi has a calm presence about her and shows the utmost respect for my son. She never forced or even tried to convince him to comply: she just gave him the space to come around in his own time. He also knows he can tell her his preferences and she’ll oblige. For example, he doesn’t really like being spritzed with water, so Yudi will spritz her hands instead and work it through his hair. He is now nearly 7. Yesterday I brought him in and he ran into Yudi’s arms for a hug. His haircut was peaceful and full of smiles as he regaled her with all of the things he’s been up to. The owner, Nicole, is also lovely and has squeezed me in when available times didn’t work for my schedule. If you have a child who does not like haircuts for any reason or you’re just looking for a new place, you want to visit Sharkey’s in Woodbury!
