18/8 Fine Men’s Salons – Little Italy

Once again came in and Rosa provided me with another cut! She knows what she’s doing ask for her when u set an appointment… Plus she always is on top of my beer refill what more could a guy ask for lol

Wow!!! We were trying to find a place to cut my boyfriend’s hair (who usually just gets quick trims at home) and it seems like everything was closed on Sunday besides sport clips and ¹⁸⁄₈. We made an appt with ¹⁸⁄₈ for fifteen minutes later and drove down, a little apprehensive. This quickly vanished as we were greeted with warm smiles and ice cold beer. Missy, our stylist, did a fantastic job recreating a haircut from a picture we found and made it even better. We were both very impressed with the atmosphere, skill level, and customer service that was provided here. We will be ditching the at-​home haircuts and will be returning here for their great service in the future. Thanks again, ladies!

I highly recommend this salon! I’ve been here twice for a scalp treatment/​massage, both times by missy, she gives the most amazing massage that I have ever experienced, she is very talented, I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, if I could give 10 stars I would. I’ll be back soon!

I’ve had Cat from day 1 here. More than a great stylist, she takes pride in her work and loves what she does, which in turn make her a great stylist. Overall experience with the other staff has been terrific as well :)

I came across this place after having lunch at café gratitude in Little Italy. Its a cool place to for us guys to get a little pampered. There are complimentary drinks when you arrive and have to wait for your appointment.
They do haircuts, shaves, facials, and waxing and only for men. It is by appointment only so you’ll have to plan ahead for this. I was lucky enough to get Cat. She is really nice to talk to and takes a lot of pride in her work. I totally recommend her if you can get time with her. Let her know what you would like and she’ll make sure you get the style you are looking for. she helped me plan out my style and let me know tips and tricks for styling my hair.
The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the price. Along with the professional hair cut, you get 2 shampoo washing, good company, and expert advice but at $ 39 it is pretty steep. So if you are looking to get pampered go to Cat. But if you are looking for a regular place to get your ears lowered, unless you are loaded, this place is a once in a while for me.

My boyfriend doesn’t have Unilocal so I’m writing this review for him. My boyfriend got his haircut here by a girl named Rosa and the staff was very friendly, even to myself who didn’t get a service done. the salon was very clean, had a great vibe. AND the Ballast Point beer on tap was a definite plus… Making sure this is his go-​to spot from now on!

Glorified supercuts!
Okay! It’s not when it comes to amenities, chairs are nicer, they serve you drinks (including beer), they do use finer equipment but the end result isn’t much different than a supercuts’ or clippers.
Price point– if you get the 2-​for-​1 that’s probably the right price (comes to $ 26 each). I say this using supercuts price ($ 16 for cut and shampoo + $ 5 for sculp massage). The extras are probably worth the extra $ 5. If you are paying the full price, then go to one of the real barbers in the area.
The two stars, one for amenities and the other for the little touches like drinks, change in robes.

Great place! I am very pleased with the hair cut I got. The stylist was very nice and professional.

What a cool place! You get serve a complimentary drink as you wait and they did a great job on my haircut. I will for sure go back

What a great experience! For sure 5+ stars for the girl who hooked my boyfriend up, Cynthia Q… girl you should be a manager there, thanks for making our bad day great! The place is clean and very welcoming. Even though it was almost closing time some people might shoo you out the door but not the person we got. She took such good care of him and was the most chill person. The cut and style was on point and for the service we got it was awesome. Hands down go to Cynthia for a great experience. Now if only I could find a salon like this place!

Yes it’s a MEN’s salon. Embrace it. A truly great place. It’s dark woods, great ambiance, and free sculpin on tap! Arrive a few minutes early, enjoy a beer in a comfortable leather chair, and chill. The executive cut starts with a warm towel and 5 minute neck message. Get a refill on the sculpin and enjoy a relaxing hair cut. I like how they wash your hair before AND after the cut so you can go on with your day and be «hair free» the rest of the the day. If you’re around a Little Italy it’s a great way to get your day off to a good start. PS. That also offer manicures and pedicures. (I’m not quite liberated enough to feel comfortable getting those – yet.). Cynthia is a gem!

The atmosphere is great! The place is really decked out and modern, they pamper you with beer and magazines, and the staff were very nice. I came in a little late for my 6pm appointment, but Rosa was able to help me and even stayed a little after seven to finish cleaning up my cut and style. Hair has never looked better. It was a really good experience and overall thoroughly pleasant!

¹⁸⁄₈ Fine Men’s Salons — Little Italy is a fairly new establishment situated across the street from Underbelly and several other stores along Kettner boulevard. The place itself is fantastic with a waiting area filled with leather chairs, a big screen TV, a cooler with complimentary beverages and a tap filled with Ballast Point beer. I have to mention, the staff is both friendly and accommodating, offering you a beverage while you wait for your appointment.
My stylist, Cat was both engaging and skillful in her trade. The executive haircut is well worth it, starting off with a nice massage, then a hair wash, followed by the haircut, then another wash (under rated, as it’s great not having hair on your ears and neckline after it’s finished), then a hot towel to end things. Cat was extremely helpful and informative on the style of cut, and what I wanted. I like the fact that she remembered what we did last time, which is a small detail but much appreciated. Parking can be a pain as a lot of parking spaces are metered, and with the many businesses in the surrounding area, it can be a little difficult to find depending on the time of day. With that being said, I highly recommend this place. Don’t let the word «salon» detract you from checking this place out. It’s definitely a stark contrast to your typical barbershop as this place pampers you from the get go and offers several other services, but it’s well worth the price.

Great experience! Very clean, professional and top tier hair cut! Ask for Brittney, best hair cut I’ve ever had. I’ll be coming back for sure.

Awesome experience. Cat is super nice and talented. I will be a repeat client for sure.

Great haircut, Louise was awesome! Sculpin on tap is a BIG plus! Gotta go try eighteen-​eight at least once, treat yourselves guys!

First of all, this is a very cool place to get a haircut. When I first walked in, I was greeted by ladies at the front and was offered something to drink. Interestingly, they provide complimentary beers while you wait which adds to the unique experience not typical of a barber shop.
I recommend my stylist Cat who was very professional, personable, and extremely passionate about her craft. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable through the whole process of getting a haircut. Usually it’s an awkward experience when the barber is just cutting your hair while ignoring you the whole time, but Cat was the total opposite. She engages in a conversation with you to make sure you are there to have a great experience including a great haircut. Overall, the whole experience was fun, unique, and awesome. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a change from their normal routine.
As for the cost, it’s really not that much more expensive than what you would typically pay for a haircut. It’s a bit extra, but you get more bang for your buck. I personally enjoyed the head /​shoulder massage and the added benefit of leaving with no hair on your clothes as they make that one of their priorities.
I was very happy with the results and my fiancé loved the haircut when I arrived back home. I was well taken care of by Cat and would gladly go back in a heartbeat.

This place is amazing! You could be having a stressful day and you will soon forget about all your worries within minutes of stepping foot in here… The staff here are very welcoming and want to make sure you have a great experience.
Lauryn was my stylist, and she made my experience a great one! It was my first time coming to this place and it won’t be my last.
The receptionist was always checking up on me to see if I needed any more beverages or if there was anything I needed. Even the owner was here to make sure I was doing well, she even took the extra time and effort to put change in the meter so I could sit back, relax and enjoy my time. I’m pretty sure if I told them I was hungry, they would get something delivered to me.
Thank you Lauryn and everyone (sorry for not remembering names) you will be seeing me again

Wow!!! This place is excellent. I have never had better haircut in my life. Lauryn was fantastic and very personable. I cannot wait till my next haircut. Thank you guys and Lauryn for a great experience!!!

¹⁸⁄₈ is a men’s salon I heard of previously, but their closest salon was a good hour drive away from me. They finally built one closer in town. I typically get my hair did at Tailored Hair for Men (they have set the standard still IMO). Due to life matters I had to cancel my appointment with them set for today. Unilocal led me to here. I was welcomed by the staff, and sat in the cool waiting lounge area where there is a beer tap of endless Ballast Point beer, soda, tea, and water. One staff member (I think it was the manager or owner) offered to put more change into my meter outside if I was running out of time (I told them it was okay as I had plenty of time on the meter). They all went BEYOND what I expected. I booked Lauryn online (the odds I simply clicked her name on the website paid off dividends). She was very accommodating and welcoming. I got an executive cut which comes with a back massage, hot towel treatment, and various washings of my hair out (discounted rate for first time cuts). I asked for a shorter cut on the sides and back of my head when I felt the length was not short enough for my liking. Lauryn smiled, obliged, and went out of her way to give me the cut I wanted. She cares about her clients and wants them to leave happy along with a great cut. She is on a short list of stylists I will turn to when I need a haircut DONE RIGHT. A few more things I observed: they give you a robe to wear for your cut, and you’ll hang your shirt up on a rack separately. I never thought about this concept but I got a clean hair free shirt because of the robe. It’s such a simple concept but effective in leaving CLEAN from a hair cut. My hair was also washed out pre-​cut and post cut meaning my head was free from loose hair… another great idea. I would highly highly recommend Lauryn and this salon in general. They do various other services here as well: manicures, pedicures, facial waxing, and in the future face shaves. The hair cutting experience is changing for guys. If you want a high end experience where lovely women stylists will take care of you spend the extra dough and get a professional style haircut done right HERE.
