Sharkey's Cuts For Kids - West Chester

My son just turned 2 and his shoulder length curls were out of control, and his tolerance for letting me wash or brush his hair is basically nonexistent. So it was time for his first haircut. my husband found sharkey's and all the great reviews made it very easy to choose to make an appointment. we were nervous for this event since Owen is not great at sitting still and really does not like having his hair played with. with this in mind, we stacked the deck in our favor; our appointment was after naptime, he was treated to a happy meal on the way over, and a variety of cookies were stashed in my purse. however, Owen was so excited as soon as he walked in. started off with some coloring, and eventually had fun playing with the Spiderman car, spinning the wheels and opening and closing the doors. Jackie Y came over and was prepared for the worst; let us know he could sit anywhere he chooses, and if it goes south, he could sit in one of our laps. he excitedly got in the Spiderman car, bluey was put on the tv, and we decided on a haircut. starting with some brushing, to which he initially protested but eventually didn't even notice, and Jackie swiftly and confidently started the cut. she saved us some of his precious curls and he barely even noticed anything was happening. I was most nervous for the clippers, but her calm energy and reassurance that he was doing amazing calmed him and he didn't even bay an eye. finally the cut was over and we got a before and after picture printed, a lock of hair, and a certificate for his first haircut. we were absolutely thrilled with the experience and the result and will be back as soon as he needs his next hair cut. highly recommend!!
