The new 18|8 location in West Hollywood will channel the essence of cool confidence directly to its discerning clientele. Leaving men looking their best and feeling even better, 18|8 offers men the same transformative effect from which the name 18|8 comes – transforming raw steel, by adding 18% chromium and 8% nickel to make a better looking and better performing end product know to us as Stainless Steel.
Team members at 18|8 are extensively trained to take the time to learn about clients, their personalities and special needs, and then cater services to match their lifestyle choices.
At 18|8, men can relax in the brand’s signature lounge area before their grooming services, which range from cuts and styling (modern and classic) to straight edge hot lather shaves, facials, massages, scalp treatments and more. Customers may even purchase memberships that provide member perks such as complimentary clean-ups and other grooming benefits.
“Amyn is exactly the right entrepreneur to grow the brand in West Hollywood,” said Scott Griffiths, founder and CEO of 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons. “His business intellect is outstanding. He really understands our systematic growth approach and recognizes the strong demand for this particular salon brand to fill the niche locally.”
Griffiths, a Laguna Niguel resident, launched 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons in 2002, and has a track record of creating breakthrough brands. Given his company’s successes during the past decade, he recently began franchising 18|8, sharing the opportunity for driven entrepreneurs such as Amyn to become part of its growth. Griffiths is a recognized marketing and branding trendsetter who has created and built industry-leading companies across several sectors, including within the salon segment. He has cast his golden touch on the cruise industry with Crystal Cruises, the luxury communications industry with Vertu and the hair care industry, recently as the creator of the brand Mitch for Men from Paul Mitchell.
