Sharkey's Cuts for Kids- North Raleigh

I went to this place so my son could enjoy the toy cars, the balloons, and the TV while getting his haircut. However, they are anything but professional; they surely learned on YouTube and likely don't even hold cosmetology licenses. They do a terrible job—just because they are cutting children's hair doesn't mean they should do such shoddy work. The lady was very friendly—that much is true—but her work was a huge disappointment. I specifically asked them to have a highly professional person do the cut, as it was for his birthday. Now I'll have to buy him a hat; I don't think they'll be able to fix it. They charge $34 for a garbage haircut, and to top it all off, they expect a tip—and even try to charge you an extra 65 cents just to leave one! I appreciate that she was kind to my son, but she already takes home 60% of that $34—she made about $20 for a completely hideous haircut. The first time I visited, a Hispanic girl named Jennifer cut his hair, and I actually liked it that time. There was also a Black woman working there who had a terrible attitude—she actually scared me. She looked me up and down, tilting her head back as if she felt superior; I could practically feel her racist glare. Someone like her shouldn't be working in a place where children are present; her attitude makes her seem like a safety risk.
