Kids' hair, unlike dandelions or demand for candy corn, grows during all seasons. Tame your tot's tangles with today's Groupon: for $9, you get a kid's trim and cut at Sharkey's Cuts for Kids (an $18.95 value). Redeem your Groupon at one of three locations: US Hwy 281 and 1604, Bandera Road, or Forum Shopping Center.

Voted by the Nickolodeon Parents' Picks Awards as San Antonio's Best Kids' Hair Salon in 2009 and 2010, Sharkey's combines skilled scissoring with interactive games, lighted dressing rooms, and whimsical barber chairs within a vibrant, engaging atmosphere. Similar to vintage drive-thru salons, kids awaiting treatment can watch DVDs or play video games on personal flat screens while resting in miniature motorcycles, purple Barbie Jeeps, and sparkling Mercedes Benzes. A Sharkey's kids' cut ($18.95) gussies girls with a shampoo, haircut, wet style, hair clip, glitter star, balloon, and lollipop. Meanwhile, dapper lads get washed, chopped, gel styled, candied, ballooned, and tattooed with a temporary decal. Call ahead for an appointment, and to reserve your child's chosen chair.

Not valid for adult cuts.
