THE #1 FRANCHISE CONCEPT FOR THE DECADE Jack Keilt, past CEO of Franchise Ventures Associates and FantasticSams WHAT DIFFERENTIATES 18 8 FINE MEN S SALONS OVER OTHER CHOICES? It s not too hard to find a salon, if you are on a budget or not that demanding in terms of service and quality. A woman s salon will do, if you don t mind the smell of perm, a fish-bowl environment, or eavesdropping on the gossip from the women on your left and right. All of which reinforces the rationale behind 18 8 Fine Men s Salons. Discerning men need a place of their own with experienced, skilled stylists who can discuss their hair needs and allow them to vent their frustrations about their day at the office. WHAT MAKES 18 8 FINE MEN S SALONS A GREAT FRANCHISE TO OWN AND OPERATE? There s a giant void that s waiting to be filled the perfect salon for successful men! A salon that brings out the best in men. Great locations, a better class of stylists. Lots of happy, successful guys. We re doing something right, indeed.
DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND 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.
