The salon is aiming for the corporate market with special packages for local businesses.
Jacks already operates branches in London, Guildford, Belfast and Birmingham. It offer a state-of-the-art hairdressing experience, where customers can pass the time chilling in the modern surroundings.
Clients can sit on the leather sofas drinking free beer, tea or coffee, surf the internet, watch plasma sports walls or log on to the gaming station.
Owner Noel Gilronan, 50, who already runs a highly successful franchise in Birmingham with a clientelle boasting several celebrities, says Bristol is ready to embrace the future of modern hairdressing.
Noel says having lived in Clifton, Bristol, in the past and seeing how it has been rejuvenated with substantial investment recently, he felt it was the perfect destination for Jacks Of London.
He said: “Bristol has experienced serious investment in the past few years, securing it as a modern UK city and Jacks of London sits perfectly into this fashionable environment at Cabot Circus.
“We will be offering the ultimate, cool, city centre bachelor pad where guys can experience the highest levels of hairdressing while chilling out in stylish surroundings as they wait.
“I am certainly one of those people who dislikes queuing but at Jacks of London customers can relax, play games, check emails and drink free beer, what more could a man ask for?”
Just when you think it could not get any more modern, there is a virtual queue available from the company website showing customers who dislike queuing, how many customers are in store.
Noel added: “We cater for all customers, so even if you don’t fancy the entertainment on offer, you can check the queue online to see how busy we are before heading down.
“Following my success in Birmingham, I felt it was time for a new challenge and what better way than investing in an area I used to live in.
“All types of people pop in to us to get their hair cut from celebrities, to students and the modern entrepreneur, so we have a wide appeal.
“I really believe Jacks of London is the future of men’s hairdressing.”
