18|8 Fine Men's Salons - Salon Franchise

18|8 Fine Men's Salons are the reinvention of the Barber Shop providing hair and grooming services in a relaxing environment focused on the unique needs of men. At 18|8, our stylists and staff provide the advice, solutions and consistency men deserve in a wide variety of services and treatments, including haircuts, hair coloring, MANicures, face treatments, scalp treatments and massage—all provided at semi-private stations. At 18|8 men can have a unique experience designed to meet their specific needs, rather than being an afterthought at a woman’s salon or settling for a clip-joint-quality haircut. Our mission is simple – give men an alternative to women’s salons…give men a fine salon experience in a place designed to meet their needs.
