The Irish News feature Jacks of London Barbers in Belfast

The new Jacks of London franchise in Belfast City Centre takes haircuts to new levels.

Jacks of London, a revolutionary new concept in men’s hairdressing and grooming has opened it’s first store in Northern Ireland. Occupying a prime city centre location in Belfast’s Fountain Street, Jacks of London promises customers ’the ultimate barbering experience’ including a complimentary beer on arrival, the opportunity to play computer games, surf the web and watch TV on a dedicated sports wall whilst waiting for your haircut or a traditional cut-throat shave in traditional bachelor pad style surroundings.

Businessman Neil Murphy has acquired the store on a franchise basis and has put his own personal stamp on a highly successful format that has been established across South East England.

The Belfast store incorporates features such as an industrial style ceiling and exposed brick work that complement the dark wood flooring, leather sofas and vibrating massage chairs common to all Jacks of London stores.

Andrew King of letting agents Osborne King says "It is always encouraging to see new businesses opening up especially as this has been a most challenging year for the retail trade generally".
