Who's Ideal for Us

Running a Jason Shankey Male Grooming franchise is not for everyone.  We need to know you are the right person to take the Jason Shankey concept forward, and we apply a rigorous selection process to ensure you have the right attributes and attitude.  These are the key things we will be looking for:

• A positive, pro-active attitude
To run a pressurized, service-oriented business like this, you have to have the drive, commitment, and focus to create a success from scratch.  Although you have the advantage of the Jason Shankey brand, our experience and dedicated support network, you will need to be able to deal with setbacks, come up with creative solutions, and maintain your motivation and the forward momentum of the business. There are great potential rewards waiting for you, but you must relish the challenge and be prepared to embrace the hard work along the way.

• The right experience
You don’t need to be a barber or have any experience in the hair care industry.  A business is a business and in general successful methods are successful across the board, which is why we are so confident of the Jason Shankey Male Grooming formula.  However, running a busy shop with up to 10 staff is a daily challenge.  You need to have experience of managing and motivating staff to achieve and improve, preferably in a customer-focused environment.

You can see that Jason Shankey Male Grooming is a business worth getting involved in. There are even more reasons why a franchise with us is a shrewd business move:

• Drawing on the skills, knowledge, help and experience available to you within our organisation, you reduce the risks of going it alone 
• You get to trade under an established, powerful brand
• We provide you with extensive training in all commercial and operational aspects of the business;
• We assist you in a number of start-up functions, explained in more detail below;
• You have the freedom to develop your own business

Why this is an ideal market opportunity

You may well question the wisdom of opening more barber shops in a market that already appears crowded.  We agree that whilst there are many barber shops in the UK – there are very few male grooming salons. Regular barbers simply do not operate at our level of range and quality of services offered, and we hold a commanding position in the market; just look at our accolades. 

The male grooming market has been one of the fastest growing consumer sectors over the last few years and Jason Shankey is the first male grooming salon in the UK to offer a true business format franchise, and it is clear to see that this is a timely and lucrative opportunity.

“I don’t know anything about male grooming”

What we do for you

When you take up a Jason Shankey Male Grooming franchise you are not left to fend for yourself.  Whilst you will be expected to take control and develop your franchise, we put a lot of effort into making sure you are equipped with the knowledge and confidence required to start and run your own successful business.  Remember, we expect this brand to take off in a big way – and if you are successful, so are we!  This is the way it works:

• Business plan
We help you draw up a comprehensive business plan incorporating all aspects of the business – profit/loss projections, cash flow, and a customised action plan for your particular Jason Shankey Male Grooming salon.

• Premises
We provide a complete premises project plan including location search assistance, a shop design and layout service, equipment, shop fittings, and a start-up inventory.

• Training
We take you through a structured training course both at our Head Office and on-site, which covers all commercial and operational features of the business, including our unique business systems and software.  You will also receive a detailed Operations Manual, which lays out all the methods and procedures for running the business smoothly.

• Staff
We give you assistance in recruiting and trade-testing your staff.  We will also arrange training for staff to ensure they all meet the high standards required.

• On-going support
You will receive vital on-going support from Head Office throughout your franchise.  Our team has great experience and expertise in every aspect of the business and is dedicated to making you succeed.

Financial Details
