18l8 Fine Mens Salon - Barrington, Barrington

The unusual name of 18|8Fine Mens Salon has metaphoric connotations—it refers to the landmark 18% chromium, 8% nickel composition of stainless steel, an innovation that turned ordinary alloy into something remarkable. The 18|8Fine Mens Salon team hopes to do with your hair and skin what scientists did with steel: transform the male grooming experience. Clients start their experience with a microbrew on draft, then work with stylists to hone in a specific look. The menu of services reads like a mix between a traditional barbeshop (shaves, haircuts) and a more 21st-century salon, with facials, waxes, and more.
