Timeout at Shannon’s

For Chicago barber and stylist, Shannon Jones, the job of a barber doesn't end with a haircut. Instead, Shannon has dedicated his life to a career that embodies the culture and social importance of the barbershop and its role as a vital institution. On February 24, 1998, the first Timeout at Shannon’s opened its doors. Initially amazed at the scope and nuance of Shannon’s vision, visitors have since become accustomed to the high level of service and care Timeout at Shannon’s has offered for the past decade. Timeout at Shannon’s has been featured in such media as Men’s Health, Slam, Hoop, Sophisticate’s Black Hair, Complete Women, Dime, Salon Sense, and was a feature story on Chicago’s Channel 7 ABC Nightly News. In 2002 New City magazine voted Timeout at Shannon’s the city’s hottest barbershop, and that same year saw a front-page story on Shannon and Timeout at Shannon’s printed nationwide in the venerable Wall Street Journal.
