The background to the business

In 1993 Sue Whitehead, Managing Director of Jacks of London, recognised the huge potential in the untapped male grooming market. Men had little choice between visiting a salon created predominantly for women or entering one of the countless “run-of-the-mill” barbershops that offered little in the way of service, quality or advice.

As a result, Sue drew upon her extensive industry experience in order to develop a unique concept which delivers affordable men’s grooming to the high street. Following great success, the Jacks of London network is now being launched on a much greater scale via franchising.
