Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids is known for its fun, energetic, and themed environment. This project required precise attention to detail, custom carpentry, high-durability materials, and bold interior finishes to match the brand’s signature look.
From floor to ceiling, KD Building Company transformed an empty commercial space into a vibrant, fully functioning children’s salon.
1. Custom Wall Finishes & Themed Design Execution
The interior features a combination of bright green, purple, pink, and striped accent walls. Every wall design in the salon required:
Detailed layout planning for multicolor stripes
Clean paint transitions and sharp line work
Installation of custom shark-themed wall graphics
Coordination of color zones for different salon sections
The results are clean, crisp, and perfectly aligned with Sharkey’s playful identity.
2. Stylist Stations & Storage Installation
Throughout the salon, our team installed:
Multiple stylist stations with mounted mirrors
Floating black base cabinets for tool storage
Integrated electrical outlets and cable management for equipment
Wall-mounted televisions and gaming consoles for kids
The placement and alignment of each station required precise measurements and anchoring to ensure long-term durability.
3. Specialty Flooring & High-Traffic Solutions
The project features two flooring systems:
Black-and-white checkered vinyl in the cutting areas
Wood-look commercial tile for walkways and common spaces
These floors were selected for their durability, easy cleaning, and visual appeal. Installation required subfloor prep, moisture control, and seamless transitions between the two materials.
4. Glam Room & Makeup Station Buildout
The pink “glam room” features:
Large vanity mirrors surrounded by professional lighting
Wall-to-wall striping for brand consistency
Custom countertop fabrication
Seating and electrical integration for styling tools
This room required careful electrical routing and heat-safe lighting installation.
5. Themed Car Chairs & Kid-Friendly Zones
A defining feature of Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids is the vehicle-style haircut chairs. Our team installed reinforced platforms for:
Toy police cars
Toy Jeeps
Character-themed mini cars
Each chair platform was anchored securely to ensure stability and kid safety.
6. Reception Area & Customer Flow Layout
The reception space includes:
Custom check-in desk installation
Wall shelving for retail products
Coordinated color finishes
Clear sightlines into the cutting area
The layout was designed to support easy customer flow and maintain visibility throughout the salon.
7. Lighting, Electrical, and Ceiling Work
The ceiling and lighting work included:
Full track-lighting system installation
Recessed lighting and custom fixture mounting
Electrical outlets placed strategically for stylist use
Proper ceiling tile replacement and grid alignment
Installation of a central disco ball for the party area
These features help create both functional and energetic lighting throughout the salon.
