Sharkey’s cuts for kids will be running the next haircut party afternoon on Wednesday 8th February 2012 from 3:30 to 5pm. This is an event which is organised approx once every 6 weeks for children who have sensory problems and who find a haircut overwhelming and stressful.
The salon will be closed to the public and they make sure noise is kept to a minimum. The salon is bright and airy with a large fish tank, and also a playstation and a WII set up at the hair cut seats to distract and calm the kids. Children are also encouraged to bring along a favourite game, toy, movie or DS themselves. Children can chill out upstairs in a quiet room where there will be a movie on and pizza available.
Please feel free to call out to John at the salon and let the kids have a familiarisation in advance if you think it will help. Cost will be € 14. The staff are very understanding, patient have a genuine interest in providing a much needed service for our sensory kids.
If you are interested in your child being involved in this session , please contact Linda Fleming ( Jigsaw Dublin 7 – 11 support and social group ) at 087 6694802 or Linny@iol.ie . Numbers are limited to 10 children so please contact her in advance to reserve a place.
