Most salons target one customer type. Sharkey’s Hair It Is delivers exceptional haircut experiences to everyone in the family.
The concept is simple but effective: while Mom gets highlights, Dad can catch the game, and the kids can enjoy video games in our themed seating areas. Everyone leaves happy, and you’ve just served an entire household in one visit!
Sharkey’s Hair It Is is a unique franchise opportunity within the Sharkey’s family, building on the proven success of Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids while expanding to serve all family members. With entertainment features that keep children engaged and professional services that satisfy adult expectations, this concept is uniquely positioned to outperform traditional salon concepts.
