18/8 Fine Men’s Salons – West Hollywood

Sandy was awesome! I’ve never gotten this many compliments on my hair — Thank You! Can’t say enough good things about this place.

It’s hard to give 3 stars just because Sandy is so sweet and I really got 5 star treatment, but my haircut just did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I got the student discount which really is great money for all that comes with it, but even with that its still a lot of money for a student to spend. I figured I’d splurge on a nice haircut, but with having just spent $ 40 on a haircut I can’t really afford to spend more to get it fixed. ¹⁸⁄₈ is very clean, everyone is friendly, and the hot towel with the haircut made me feel like a new person. But I came in with a lot of hair that I wore up (which I’m not fond of) and I asked to get a very layered cut with bangs because I wanted to start wearing it down. I showed the example picture below but I really just came out with the same hair I normally have but with the sides shortened. I’ve attached pictures of the example, how my hair turned out after, and after showering me attempting to wear it down (like example picture).
Nice people, beautiful salon, but I sort of blew the bank on a haircut that I expected more from

Reviews are real! I had my first session with Stan and basically he read my mind and told me what he was thinking it would be best for my hair, and he was spot on! And he did a great job. Will keep coming back.

Sandy gave me a great haircut! i’ll be back soon.

Not sure why it took me so long to check this place out, but after giving it a go based on the awesome reviews I can honestly say that all of the praise is spot on!
First off, when I got there I couldn’t have been greeted by a friendlier and warmer person than Lissette. She really makes sure you’re comfortable and at home with her good vibes.
Shirin took care of my haircut today and WOW. This girl knows her stuff. Not only that, but she listens to what you want and makes sure you’re happy before sending you on your way. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her, she kicks ass.
The spot is clean and super cool. From the minute you walk in to the second you leave this place is hands down as professional as it gets.
They even have you change your top out into a robe so you don’t get those prickly stray hairs all over your collar! What! So cool.

Thank you Sandy for the great haircut! Sandy was super nice and understood how to cut my stubborn hair. She really did a great job and I felt super confident walking out the door. :)

We just moved to Los Angeles and my boys (8 &4) used to have their haircut at the ¹⁸⁄₈ in Dublin CA. We were hoping to have the same wonderful experience here at the WeHo location. Expectations were exceeded! Not only were they welcoming (we brought our whole family including baby) Sebastian did a great job cutting the boys hair. My oldest wanted a faux hawk and the 4 year old has the so popular «hipster» haircut. He was very nice to the boys and took his time paying attention to the small details.
Gale the Manager does a great job making sure clients are taken care of! We will be back on the regular to see Sebastian!
It is a little pricey for a kids cut but both of my sons model and it’s very important their hair is on trend. This is a great place to bring the younger gents. It is worth the few extra bucks.

They were so flexible to take me, even on a friday evening! I was very lucky to get the adorable Sandy! She stayed extra longer to cut my hair and did a wonderful job! I really recommend her if you wanna get a fantastic styling!

Came in for a manicure and was immediately greeted by the manager Gail, very accommodating and helpful, even during a hectic day. Parked at a street meter (I suggest you use the spots at the Trader Joe’s – 1 hour validation!) and ran back to get a spot before my appointment; WeHo (and by that I mean LA) parking cops don’t play.
Krista was my manicurist. Awesome job, and great conversation to boot. If you haven’t visited an 18|8 salon before for nails, you have the option to sit up and watch the magic unfurl or lean back in the stylist’s chair and have a more calming experience. Either way, you’ll have a relaxing time. My hands haven’t felt this soft and refreshed in a long time. Even typing this review feels different after my appointment.
Looking forward to returning!

Gail, the manager is super friendly, professional and sexy.
MJ who cut my hair did a fantastic job and was super nice.
I really like the set-​up at this place where its almost semi-​private when you get a haircut and don’t have to listen to all the stylists gossiping and chatting. Just go in, get a good haircut and then get out and look a lot better.

Looked for a new barber on Unilocal,came across this place. I said to my self with so many reviews it will be wrong to not give them a chance.
Honestly, I’m very happy I did give them one. Sebastian listened to what I want and requested and did it in the best way. Received many compliments!
Yea, it is kinda pricy. But the extra 5 – 10 $ is worth a good cut.

I am extremely picky as to how I like my hair and who I let cut/​style it. I have never been to the same hair person more than twice. HOWEVER from the moment I walked into ¹⁸⁄₈ I was treated so well by the receptionist. Then when I met MJ, I told him how I usually style my hair and he knew exactly what to do. One of the best haircuts I have ever received.
After 24 years I finally found the spot where I will be getting my haircut every time!

Worst service ever!
I’d an appointment with Stan (booked 2 weeks ago) today at 9 and I arrived 5 minutes late. Then they told me that they can only take me for a 15 minutes haircut… Never heard of that!
They are ALWAYS late but if you are late (even for 5 minutes!) you’re fucked.
They just lost a client because this isn’t the first issue I have with them
1. Last time I’d an appointment with Stan and then I was supposed to have get a manicure an epilation but i had to wait 45 minutes for the esthetician to come after my haircut…: (but Remember you can’t be 5 minutes late)!
2. Another time I specifically ask NOT to be with one stylist (I wrote it in bold!) and they booked me with this very same stylist)!
It’s ashamed because it could be a good hair salon if it was better managed!

In a world where we demand control over so many aspects of life, scheduling a haircut can often be a stressful experience. It requires your best communication skills as you stammer out, «what I’m trying to do here is…», it tests your patience as you silently critique every move, and if done wrong can throw off your mojo for the coming weeks. A lot is on the line!
Fortunately, there are people like SHIRIN who are able to create an experience I’ve rarely felt when getting my hair cut: relaxation.
From the first handshake I immediately trusted Shirin — she has a warmth about her that’s tough to quantify but impossible to miss. Our ensuing conversation confirmed that initial confidence, and from that moment on all stresses fled the room.
I often find «haircut convo» to be a bit forced, but Shirin was a complete natural from start to finish. She has the intuitive ability to read her customer; something I don’t often see. She provided follicle education (both general and customized info for me), and was open and interested in getting to know her new client. Furthermore (and maybe more importantly) she was able to pick up when I wasn’t quite as interested in talking, instead quietly focusing on my hair while I relaxed.
The haircut turned out exactly how I had hoped.
Every once in a while you have an experience that leaves you thinking, «Wow, I didn’t know _​_​_​_​could be done like that,» and going back to the way you’ve done _​_​_​_​before is no longer an option. This was one of those times.
In whole, my experience and haircut was worth every bit of ⁵⁄₅ stars.

This location knows how to take care of me and other clients. I’ve been here several times already and I am absolutely obsessed!
This review is for my amazing hair doctor, Shirin! She colored my hair and it was amazing! I absolutely enjoyed the magic she did to it. I showed her a photo of the color I wanted to go for and she went right to it. She also cut my hair as well which was great. It took about 2 hrs for everything to get done but it was definitely work it in the end because I looked amazing! She definitely hooked it up for my birthday weekend!
Everyone at this salon is so sweet an amazing. I definitely feel like a luxurious client when I walk in greeted by Gail! I am still obsessed with the hot towel with Bayrum oil. UUUNF smells AH MAY ZIIIING! Hahah.
Since it was my birthday weekend they definitely hooked it up with the cut and color. This is definitely the place I would go back to consistently! Its amazing!
Thank you so much Shirin for the amazing color and hair!
5 Stars because its a luxury!

Hey so I found this place on Unilocal like the most of you and I needed a haircut so I was gonna try it out.
As soon as I walk in all the employees are very welcoming would ask you if you’re thirsty and make sure you have everything you need.
They have an awesome lobby makes you feel right at home btw.
My stylist «kris» was awesome gave me some sort robe so your shirt won’t get covered in hair.
For once I walk into a public bathroom and is very clean and well organized.
So I headed back and we started kris was very careful to do as much as possible and do the best he can.
He took his time and everything went better then I would ever expect.
Honestly don’t worry about the price because every cent is worth it trust me on this

Pros:
— Very accommodating. I called in a few hours before needing to get a trim after realizing my usual barber was already booked. What I needed wasn’t in the service menu, but the receptionist was patient in trying to understand so she could book the appointment properly. (FYI — I have an undercut. All I wanted was the bottom portion of my hair to be trimmed and faded — skin tight at the bottom to a high fade at the top.) The receptionist didn’t book the appointment correctly but the barber, Sebastian, made time for me saying that he «wanted to make sure I was taken care of, proper.» MUCH appreciated.
Cons:
— I’ve had way better cuts in shorter time. Sebastian was reluctant to take me skin tight (I guess maybe because I’m a girl?), and followed that by 1) taking the fade too short at the top and 2) cutting into the long hair on top and trying to cover it with a weird faded patch in the back.
Ultimately, I appreciate the effort, but I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Came here for the first time today and I had an overall awesome experience! Marissa gave me an amazing haircut — I told her that I wanted a change and she sure delivered! I’m very glad I decided to come here. A+ service and A+ haircut!
They validate parking at the Trader Joe’s parking lot — which is fantastic because who wants to deal with parking… Also grabbed some grocery while I was there (I mean I was already in Trader Joe’s parking lot, might as well, ya know). Such a productive day, I feel like a winner!

This was my first time at 18|8. The attractiveness of this place is not the bottled water or champagne smoke and mirrors, just about every place in LA offers these amenities, but it was my hair professional Shirin.
Shirin is warm and welcoming, listened to what I wanted, and executed perfectly. It felt like she had been my go-​to professional for years. Shirin cuts with a smile, makes great conversation, and has the skills of the top hair educators in the industry. Thank you Shirin :)
The place itself is very clean, service is fast, and has a hip, but not over-​the-​top WeHo vibe. They offer great deals — be sure to ask about the membership! My first time there, I was treated to the executive package which includes some extra grooming and neck and shoulder massage.

After much searching for the right hairdresser I bumped into ¹⁸⁄₈.
First things first the ambience is purely fantastic
The hairdressers are amaZing
I have no other words to write it’s just truly amazing
I’m definitely a returning customer
