Jason Shankey: Entrepreneur, hairdresser and male grooming expert is rapidly becoming a household name in the UK. With an award winning website and thriving UK Male Grooming Franchise Group already to his name, the Jason Shankey brand just keeps getting bigger.

Jason began his career in Belfast where he developed his keen eye for detail and style. A successful stint at a top London Barber Shop in addition to a marketing campaign with King of Shaves ignited his enthusiasm and desire to open his own business in Belfast which he did in 1997. Jason Shankey Belfast soon became the place to be seen for Northern Ireland's trend set and developed into a revolutionary male grooming club offering a plethora of pioneering male grooming services including Wet Shaving, Facials, Massage, Hair Removal, Hand and Foot Grooming, Body Bronzing, Top Class Hairdressing and Hair Colouring.

With a growing trend towards mail order, Jason decided to capitalise by setting up his Mail Order website www.jasonshankey.co.uk in 1998, a resource available to both male and female customers looking for exclusive hair, health and skincare products. Currently stocking over 1000 products and catering for huge volumes of visitors per day www.jasonshankey.co.uk, has become one of the UK's leading lifestyle websites.

With the opening of Jason Shankey Male Grooming London in 2004, the aim was to develop the idea of a new generation of gentleman's club offering tailor made grooming & lifestyle services to the high street. This would in turn pave the way for development of the franchise group throughout the UK in 2005.

Jason has received a huge amount of acclaim from the National Press having swiftly set the standard for personal care websites and male grooming salons. He is also becoming in his own right the most recognised expert in his specialist field.
