We are doing the exact same things we did when Linda & Scott Sharkey started this business back in 2001.  TV's are bigger, X-box games have changed, software has been upgraded, but at the end of the day our Sharkey's Cuts for Kids model is exactly the same as it was when Sharkey's started back in 2001. We developed a passive franchise model that has proven it will be around for a long long time...130+ locations and now growing 30-35 new locations per year!  Get onboard and join our wonderful award winning family!
