Sharkeys First Locks of Love

We were so happy this week to have 5 year old Alicia drop by the salon to donate her ponytail to Locks of Love. This is a our first every hair donation, and Alicia was such an amazing girl to want to do this!

Have a look at these pics of her long locks that we started with ...

And then came the big moment ...

Katie snips off the ponytail!

Alicia was still smiling!

Thanks to Katie for doing the cut

We were so happy to give Alicia a new cut and style on us!














Thanks so much to Alicia for choosing to come to Sharkeys to do such a generous gesture ... we have so many amazing kids that come through our doors, and Alicia is definitely one of them!

Sharkeys Visit #4 to the Janeway Children's Hospital

Today we did our fourth visit to the Janeway and we are very happy to say that there were not a lot of kids that needed haircuts, as many of the rooms were empty. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely love going, but we love it when the girls from Childlife tell us there are not many kids in the hospital!

Thanks to our stylist Laura for doing the cuts and to stylist Kayleigh for doing nails and tattoos. Even with a small group in the hospital, we had a pretty high participation rate this month.

For more information about our work, please contact us at our salon at 140 Stavanger Dr in St. John's, by phone (709) 722-2887, or by email.

Here are a few pics of our visit and the amazing kids!

Brianna wasn't feeling so great, but we are so glad she decided to get a cut.

Brianna even stayed to get her nails done.

Daneil was such a great sport and had a wonderful time getting a haircut with his dad!

Daniel was so excited about his fire truck tattoo

Jagger couldn't come to us for a tattoo, so we went to him.

While we were in Jagger's room, his sister Jordis decided to drop by our temporary salon for a minicure and a tattoo from Laura.

Jordis was so happy with her nails ... I got the feeling from her dad that she has done this before :)

Coden is one of the cutest little boys we have ever met, he had some of his curls cut, but Laura was sure to leave a bunch.

Coden wanted not one, but two tattoos!

He also had hugs for everyone!

Nicholas also could not come to us, so we dropped by his room and gave him a tattoo.















Next up was our coloring contest, thanks to McDonalds for providing free smoothies to all our participants!

Jagger was one of our coloring contest winners

Nicholas was another of our coloring contest winners.










Thanks again to the great staff at Child Life at the Janeway for having us again. If you would like to know more about us and what we do, please contact us at our salon at 140 Stavanger Dr in St. John's, by phone (709) 722-2887, or by email.

Sharkeys Donates $1765 to Ronald McDonald House NL

Thanks to all our staff and customers for helping us raise $1765 for the Ronald McDonald House Newfoundland ... also thanks to 99.1 Hits FM.

A Day for the Ronald McDonald House - Great Success

Today Sharkeys Cuts for Kids pledged all proceeds from all kids haircuts, dads haircuts and minicures to the Ronald McDonald House ... and it was a huge success. Thanks to the great marketing by all our staff and friends and the tremendous help from 99.1 Hits FM, we raised $865 and will donate an additional $900 through Hits FM for a total of $1765!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for all the help. Our stylists Laura and Kayla worked tirelessly today, even working through their lunch breaks to do as many cuts as possible. Special thanks to Laura for holding down the fort alone this morning while we were at the Janeway! I would like to especially thank our stylist Amanda and Kayleigh for not only donating their time to the Janeway this morning, but they also then donated the remainder of their day working at the salon to help the cause. Amanda even stayed late today to do an after hours cut to bump up the donation total! It was a great team building experience and everyone should be very proud of what you did.

I also would like to thank Pizza Delight for donating a couple pizzas to fuel our staff today!

Finally thanks to all our awesome customers that came in to help us donate today!

Here are a few pics from today, I will post more later ... I almost forgot to thank our special guest Elmo for entertaining the kids today.

Elmo helped direct traffic to our fundraiser!

This little guy was really excited to not only get a tattoo but also meet Elmo!

You couldn't wipe the smile off his face ... even with a Leafs shirt on :)

Hugs from Elmo

Even our own newest addition Jaxon got to meet Elmo!

Megan came by from the Ronald McDonald House Foundation for a photo with the big cheque!
