Taylor Kinney, best known for his role as werewolf Mason Lockwood on Vampire Diaries, has become the first actor cast in Michael Patrick King's drama pilot for NBC A Mann's World. In the vein of Shampoo, the project centers on a straight Beverly Hills hairdresser in his 50s who is struggling to stay young and relevant in a place where looks are everything. Kinney, repped by Gersh and Principal Entertainment, will play the current "it" stylist at the spa, a smokin' hot guy who is constantly pursued by beautiful women and whose goal is to have his own salon one day.

NBC didn't picked up "Mann's World" but there's still a chance to see it shopped to cable:
[...] Also not getting a pickup is the Don Johnson hairdresser drama A Mann's World, written and directed by Michael Patrick King. [...]
This may not be the end of the road for A Mann's World, a well-received pilot, mostly for King's direction and Johnson's on-screen presence. I hear it will probably be shopped to cable networks, which makes sense as many who have seen the pilot say it has cable sensibility.
