Overview
Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids is America’s best franchise for new entrepreneurs seeking a fully PASSIVE business ownership opportunity. This is a business that can run entirely without the owner’s day-to-day management. Sharkey’s is a lucrative fun to run business with state-of-the-art salon software and a recession-proof business model with longevity. You’ll invest in a brand, not buy a job.
Sharkey's really sets itself apart from the competitors with our well planned design and unequaled entertainment factor. We don't just cater to the youngest of children or one gender - we have positioned ourselves in the market as the only kid’s salon for kids of all ages (0-14), and adults as well! This allows Sharkey’s to have the highest & longest customer retention rate in our industry. Once children come to Sharkey’s they want to come again and again for the overall experience. We have extremely high brand loyalty among our young customers and their parents, and our well planned and designed salon keeps the kids coming to Sharkey’s for many years.

As for On-Going Training, once your salon is open, we continue to help you grow through regular field support at your location, telephone, local training sessions, monthly newsletters, and ongoing research and development that offer you and your team fresh innovative ideas.
Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for people that want to be PASSIVE owners and stay in their current job while opening multiple locations. Absolutely NO HAIR EXPERIENCE is necessary. We’re looking for people that want to own a business that can be run from any remote location or even from home. Fairly good social media skills are helpful, but not required as it can be outsourced.
