If you’ve ever tried to convince a 10-year-old boy that it’s haircut time, you know it can go either way — but at Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids in Woodinville, it was a total win for everyone. 🙌
When my son went in for his haircut, his stylist was amazing — friendly, patient, and the perfect balance of listening to him while still checking in with mom. His cut turned out great, and he was thrilled to be able to play video games the whole time. Honestly, I had to drag him out when we were done because he wasn’t ready to leave! 🎮✂️
🚗 Haircuts That Feel Like Playtime
For younger kiddos, Sharkey’s has four working Power Wheels for them to sit in — from an Elsa Jeep ❄️ to a firetruck 🚒 — and yes, they actually work! It turns what can sometimes be a tough experience into something fun and exciting.
My 6-year-old was all about the Glamour Salon, where she got her nails painted (of course she chose purple 💜). There’s also a wall of books right when you walk in and a small shop filled with cute accessories — she picked out the sweetest scrunchie to take home.
And the cherry on top? Every kid gets a balloon on their way out! 🎈

💕 Family-Run, Community-Focused
Sharkey’s Woodinville is under new ownership, led by a family that’s deeply rooted in the community — they live and work locally, one of the owners is a teacher at Bothell High School, their son attends Junior at North Creek High School, and their daughter is a 5th grader at Ruby Bridges ES. Their family is proud to be part of the Woodinville-Bothell area. That community connection shows in every detail of the shop.
The owner has been working hard to build up the business, improving their Google reviews and listening closely to customer feedback. When a mom suggested swapping out the artificial-dye lollipops for organic ones, they made it happen! 🍭 That kind of responsiveness says everything about how much they care about families who walk through their doors.
✂️ A Stylist Who Truly Gets Kids
When I spoke with Yessi Guzman, the salon manager and senior stylist, she said:
“What makes Sharkey’s special is how we treat every child like our own. We’re good with kids — we know when to give them space, when to make them laugh, and how to make them feel safe. For our clients with autism or sensory sensitivities, we take the time they need — and if it helps, we’ll even stay late after closing to make sure their experience is comfortable and positive.”
That heart is exactly what makes Sharkey’s stand out — they don’t just give haircuts, they create a space where every child feels seen, included, and special. 💚

🍦 Building Community, One Haircut at a Time
Beyond the chair, Sharkey’s is building community connections in big ways. The owner has partnered with local businesses to surprise clients with fun freebies — from Swanky Scoop and Menchie’s ice cream treats 🍨 to free trial classes at Orangetheory.
And in a true act of kindness, during the recent government shutdown, Sharkey’s offered free haircuts for kids of affected government workers — a gesture that says a lot about their heart for helping families.
