MR. Sky Park President, Bangs Group of Companies

From the inauguration of its very first salon in Malate, Manila, Tony & Jackey has since become one of the most recognized names in the Philippines when it comes to hair care and styling. The company offers on-trend hairstyles, delivered by a team of Korean and Filipino hair professionals using the latest hair technology.

At the helm of Tony & Jackey is president and general manager Mr. Sky Park. Since the salon’s inception, Park has led the company to success, expanding to several branches and new brands. Speed visited Tony & Jackey’s head office to learn from Mr. Park himself how this initially unassuming salon company turned into one of the go-to hair experts in the Philippines.

Why did you open a hair salon here in the Philippines?

We decided to set up a salon because there are a lot of Koreans living in Manila, and they need a place to have their hair cut. But many Koreans residing here in the Philippines don’t know how to speak English or Tagalog, so we decided to put up a salon to meet their needs.

Since we are the pioneer of Korean salon, concept, and hairstyle in Manila, Filipinos who visit our salon brought by their Korean friends tried our services. They found something different and new for them. They liked our hairstyling. That started them bringing their friends and family and we became famous in the Philippines.

Tony & Jackey is not a franchise from Korea. How were you able to conceptualize the business?

It is not from Korea, but the people working in our salon are from Korea. At the same time, they are also professional hairstylists working in Korea [who] we recruited to our salon in the Philippines. Our motivation is to share our expertise and culture to the Filipino people so that they can try the new hairstyles offered by our Korean hairstylists.
