Hair Salon for Men Now Open in Glenview

The new movie theater replacing the Glen 10 isn’t the only California-based business moving to Illinois through the village of Glenview.

Eighteen Eight, the Glenview Announcements reports, is “a fine men’s hair salon.” It opened last month.

That’s right, a hair salon - for men.

Now open at 2528 Pfingsten Road in Glenview’s Glenbrook Market Place, Eighteen Eight is owned by Ash Seth, a former management consultant who did not know much about the hair industry but loved the concept of an upscale salon catered to men.

“We want men to feel like this is a place to relax, wind down and enjoy the whole experience of getting a haircut,” Seth told the Announcements.

Eighteen Eight, which opened last month, offers décor that is clean, modern and bright, and includes 11 semi-private styling stations.

The salon, which includes 11 semi-private styling stations, is named after the chemical composition of chromium and nickel needed to transform iron into better-looking and better-performing stainless steel.

The salon employs five stylists and one barber.
