18|8 Fine Men's Salon Opens on 14th Street

Introduces Entirely New Grooming Experience for Men; Brings Affordable Men's Luxury Experience to 14th Street

Calling all men: there is a new salon in town waiting just for you.

18|8 Fine Men’s Salon announced today the opening of its new salon in Washington, D.C., which channels the essence of cool confidence directly to its discerning clientele. The upscale salon offering affordable indulgences is located on 14th street at 2200 14th Street NW, just across the street from CVS Pharmacy.

Leaving men looking their best – and feeling even better – 18|8 offers men the same transformative effect from which the name 18|8 comes. Embracing the immense impact of the discovery of stainless steel (18% chromium + 8% nickel added to steel) on hair salon instruments and other everyday consumer and commercial usage, 18|8’s distinctive collection of upscale services are moderately priced in the $45 to $56 range. Haircuts and grooming are provided in semi-private areas.

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. The 18|8 team takes the time to learn about its clients, their personalities and special needs, and then caters services to mirror their lifestyle choices. Customers may even purchase memberships that cover prepaid hair and grooming services.

Scott Griffiths, who launched 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons in 2002, 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 to become part of its growth. Griffiths is a recognized marketing and branding trendsetter who has created and build industry-leading companies across several sectors. Recently, Griffiths cast his golden touch on the hair care industry with 18|8 and by creating the brand Mitch for Men from Paul Mitchell.
