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.

Despite the detailed work and custom components, KD Building Company delivered this project two weeks ahead of schedule. This achievement reflects:

  • Effective scheduling

  • Strong subcontractor coordination

  • Clear communication with the client

  • Commitment to meeting brand standards

  • A disciplined and skilled construction team
