18/8 Fine Men's Salon opening in Bethesda (Photos)

"Men shouldn't be going to a women's salon," was the thought that drove entrepreneur Scott Griffiths to launch his own salon chain targeting a male audience. The result is 18/8 Fine Men's Salon, which is coming to 7550 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda.

"There are two things a man should never do," 18/8's website opines: 

"Go through a woman’s purse.
Go to her hair salon."

Enter 18/8, named for the process by which stainless steel is created. 18/8 will offer stylish haircuts; face, scalp and nail treatments; shaves; waxing; hair coloring; and grooming party packages.

"You're the man," is the mantra the business says will sum up your feeling as you exit 18/8 after your appointment. 18/8 will join Roosters at Bethesda Row in the growing category of upscale men's salons in downtown Bethesda.

    How is Roosters doing over in Bethesda Row? How is this industry doing in general? And in this area... Not sure about this.

    This is great! I can finally fulfill my dream of having one side of my face shaved and then walking a couple blocks to get the other side shaved!

    @ 7:16 PM - 18/8 is for the Fine Men of the Woodmont Triangle.

    Roosters is for the Fancy Men of Bethesda Row who stick out their pinkies as they nab a black currant macaron or tarte without much remorse.

    Um, but often women's purses contain critical life-sustaining things like food and your credit card.
