Kids’ boundless energy prevents them from sitting still for long periods, complicating haircuts, movie marathons, and yearlong waits for Groundhog Day. Give your offspring a stylish shadow with today's Groupon: for $9, you get a child's haircut at Sharkey's Cuts for Kids (up to a $21.95 value). Today's deal is only valid at the shop’s Old Meridian location in Carmel.

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids combines stylish haircuts with kid-friendly attractions such as car-shaped barber chairs, video games, and a colorful, bright interior. Seated in vehicles including a pink Barbie Jeep or Lightning McQueen from Cars, young ones can watch movies or play video games on a flat-screen television as stylists stealthily snip away extraneous locks. Aspiring princesses can opt for the Glamour package, which includes a shampoo, a cut, a blow-dry, a style, and a mini manicure (a $21.95 value), and boyish bangs receive a shampoo, a cut, a style, and a temporary tattoo as part of the Shark package (a $17.95 value). With kids’ attention occupied, parents can make use of free WiFi to check email or research ways to grow sideburns on mannequins.
