Carolyn is just beyond professional. She’s also beyond friendly. She really makes you feel utmost comfort and just out of this world. She is by far the best hairstylist I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing Carolyn for the past 4 months now. I’ve NEVER been disappointed. Her hairstyle services and friendliness go hand in hand. Whatever hairstyle you have pictured in your head is what Carolyn will have you leave with. Her attitude is just potent with positivity and happiness. Even if you’re having a bad day, having Carolyn your hairstylist will truly cheer you up. The entire 18/8 crew are amazing. But I’ve had the pleasure and honor to be with Carolyn. I truly recommend her if you’re looking for a fresh and clean crisp haircut!
Update: still living with a haircut that looks between a pixie cut and a mullet. Fancy bottle service and polite people doesn’t matter if you don’t listen to your customers. Especially when they spend over a year growing out there hair. It’s your personality and your look. Generic haircuts are easy, so I have no idea why kind of Frankenstein thing I got and where it was going. Don’t let The new girl cut your hair.I had long hair and all I wanted was a trim. A trim was not what I got and now it’s way beyond too short. I can’t even put it in a bun anymore and My sides is like a buzz. I have nothing on my sides now! Who cuts it like this? After even telling her I just want it cleaned up for the new job I’m starting. Everyone was nice and service was good but none of it matters if my haircut really is beyond what I wanted. I paid a lot for really something I didn’t want. Not to mention but a fairly deep cut on my forehead. There is no “fixing” this. Would not come again.
Came in one day last week and got a wonderful cut from Zarinah! She gave me just what I wanted and I felt great when I left. 5 star experience overall! Also great to sit in the waiting room and enjoy a beer while I waited. Bianca, the receptionist, made sure I was comfortable while i waited. She offered me a beverage and cleaned the chairs as customers came and went. Very nice touch, and good to know 18/8 is still upholding their disinfecting!
Always a great experience. Front desk staff and management are personable and professional, lobby and salon are always comfortable and clean. I get my haircut by Ben, who is amazing at what he does! Highly recommend!
I just finished my second appointment with Carolyn and all I can say is WOW! Not only is Carolyn a joy to be around, but the woman knows how to give a stylish men’s cut better than anyone to whom I’ve gone previously during my 8 years here in ATL. She also gives excellent (and effective!) advice to revitalize and maintain scalp health. The pandemic left my hair thick and my scalp dry, but Carolyn’s in-salon scalp treatment combined with actionable recommendations on affordable products have me in a good place again. I’ve definitely found my permanent salon. Thanks, Carolyn!
I’ve been coming to 18/8 for a few years now and have seen a lot of staff come and go. My experience with all of these staff members have been great and I always enjoy my haircuts! The last few times I’ve been in the young lady working the front desk has just been exceptionally amazing. Her friendly and professional demeanor have been the highlight of my visits. She told me her name was Bianca. She asked me how my service was, complimented my haircut, and even offered me products to maintain my stylish new du at home! Bianca is by far the best front desk staff member I have seen in my years of coming to this salon!
Always a great haircut from this place, but had Carolyn today and felt the need to leave an actual review. She did an incredible job, and I’ll certainly be requesting her in the future! She listened to my requests, as well as made some great recommendations, and gave me one the best haircuts I’ve had to date. Highly recommend!
I love this place, and so does my 9 year old son. He has gotten a haircut by Ms Carolyn 3 times, and each time she has done exactly what we discussed. She is super sweet, professional and personable, and the young lady at the front is fantastic as well. We will be back for sure!!
Today was my first time here and Carolyn was my stylist. In less than 5 minutes she made an impression andI knew that I will come back for sure! Thanks to her technique, expertise and attention to details were exceptional, she’s an artist and I highly recommend her!The shop it self is clean, the reception was excellent and all the people who work there are extremely friendly and nice!
Morgan has been cutting my hair for over five years. She does a great job and is always fun to catch up with. Highly recommend!
Fantastic first experience at 18|8! My stylist, Carolyn, listened to my needs and gave me a fantastic haircut, just in time for a business meeting. Carolyn really is a wonderfully talented and passionate stylist, and I instantly felt comfortable with her. I couldnt be happier, and look forward to coming back soon!
Carolyn was just awesome! She has converted this Neanderthal into someone who can appreciate a great experience resulting in an amazing cut. Well worth it. Looking forward to my next visit!
Carolyn was my stylist for the 3rd month in a row and she was is awesome! She listens to what I want need for my hair I will continue seeing her she is a great asset to your salon
Had a great experience here! Stylist Carolyn took care of me and was extremely attentive to detail, making sure the cut was even all around, trimming my eyebrows and even catching a few stray hairs on my ear! Would definitely recommend her and the whole team here.
Wow...been coming here for 3 months now and I’m so impressed. Carolyn took me in on my first visit and haven’t left her. Schedule them out every 2 weeks She cuts my hair the absolute best I’ve ever had. Everything is very professional and is a true experience.
I got an appointment with Carolyn and she did an amazing job! I liked the haircut and the treatment she did and all my friends recognized the great change in my hairstyle! Carolyn is so passionate - I am really excited about the result! Many thanks Carolyn!
Carolyn did a great job on my cut and style. Highly recommend her for your next hair cut. She was very professional and detail oriented and she explained everything she was doing so when you leave you not only look great but feel great too.
Outstanding and Very Professional, from the time I walked in I was greeted with a warm smile. This place is nice and smells so good. Kody my stylist was Amazing and very Professional. I felt like I was floating when leaving thanks for everything 18|8 I’ll definitely see you again soon.
Carolyn was awesome!! She was able to fit me into her schedule on short notice and absolutely crushed my cut. Found my new stylist and salon!!!
I love this place! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Excellent service! Kody is the BEST!! I received the best haircut in decades! I will not go anywhere else!
Ive never written a review before but my experience with Carolyn was excellent and made me write one. She is very experienced and communicative with your hair throughout the entire process. The salon is very friendly, clean, and professional.
I have been in this establishment a bunch of times and have never been disappointed. Stephanie is the stylist I am most familiar with and her service is impeccable. Shes not one that will talk your ear off but is always ready to engage in light conversation with a great sense of humor. The hair service goes without saying, perfect everytime. If youre looking to get the great hair cut you need and want to relax while doing it then you have to hit up this salon, dont forget to ask for Stephanie.
Ive enjoyed receiving haircuts and ear waxing at 18/8 for over 6 years. Staff turnover is relatively low allowing for a consistent, familiar, and friendly service experience. I recommend this business.
Being new to the Atlanta area, I was a bit stressed about finding a good hair salon. My experience at 18/8 was very positive. All the COVID precautions described on the website were followed to the letter. Ben, my hair stylist, kept his mask during the whole session and his station was properly cleaned. I scheduled an appointment for a classic haircut. Ben took the time to listen to my preferences but I let him pick a style that could fit me. Im very happy with the result and with the attention to detail that he showed during the whole appointment. I also thought that the prices were fair relative to other hair salons, especially given how satisfying the service was. Ill definitely go back!
Carolyn did a great job! Took time to make sure it was what I needed and got the job done!
Stephanie is 10/10 professional, talented, caring, helpful, and accepting. I’ve seen the work she puts out. I see her growth as a stylist. She’s taught me multiple techniques in the past on cutting/styling short hair. She’s a beautiful human inside and out. Go with Stephanie if you want an authentic person to chat with, while also getting a bomb haircut.
Really skilled and professional team. Will certainly go back.
I love this place so much, especially Benjamin Brady! I was so happy to see that they were following the guidelines/procedures put in place to keep us all safe from COVID. Aside from their concern for everyones safety, Benjamin is such a talented, professional stylist. Thank you Benjamin - Ive never looked better! *****
Awesome haircut great experience. Love this place.
Ive been in the city for 10 years and I have finally found my go to guy.It was my first time at the salon. Torrance was able to fit me in at the last minute. From the second we met, his attention was laser sharp on making me look my best. I have never seen that level of inspired focus from anyone who Ive been to. Torrance radiates expertise, professionalism and a passion for his work. You can imagine the results!Already looking forward to the next visit.
Got a great cut from Carolyn. Highly recommend.
Kody is a rockstar!!!
Carolyn did an awesome job with my haircut today!
Stephanie did my fiancé’s hair and did an AMAZING job! She is always good about listening to him and what he wants to do with his hair. We have followed her from several salons and will never change 🤎
Ive been a customer of Brandon’s since late 2018 when he was in the Peachtree Corners location. Coming to the Brookhaven location has been a smooth transition. Brandon is truly an artist when it comes to hair. I transitioned to a shorter style, and he has consistently made me look great. I even get the gray blending, and it works like a gem. I honestly come in every six weeks (yes, every six weeks) because the hair actually grows into the style. Ive never experienced anything like it. I highly recommend the 18|8 Brookhaven location and moreover stylist Brandon!
I went into 18/8 for the first time A couple weeks ago and my experience was awesome! Sonia was my stylist and she was amazing. I thought I knew how to explain myself and what I wanted but I had NO IDEA! Lol. After ranting, and going in circles, Sonia politely stopped me, calmed me down. She gave me more information about what type of hair I have and how it will behave if I went too short or not short enough. After she took the time to explain, she started her magic and I began to see the transformation. We ended up going shorter and gave me the sharpest, (square) shape that looked awesome! It complimented the shape of my face, which is more round (as she explained) and she was right! Sonia is one talented hairstylist, and I hope she NEVER leaves 18/8 because she gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life!
Carolyn does a great job! I’ll be back!
Ben is incredible! Wonderful work and an incredibly kind person. I’m so glad to have found him!
Anyone who rated under 5 stars is wrong. This place is amazing! Best service and best hairdressers. They all are very polite and nice. They offer complimentary drinks, too. My recommendation is make appointment with Sharon, she is the best. She’s been my hairdresser for about two years, and I was extremely satisfied every single time I was there. Def recommend this place!!
This place is amazing. Great location in a beautiful building. Staff is always attentive and the prices are great.
Stephanie gave me an amazing cut and experience. I plan on coming back every 2weeks!
Very unprofessional service. Stylist talking politics, since we did not share the same candidate for president she made a bald spot in the back of my head on purpose and said nothing to me. If it wasn’t because my friends came with me and told me. I wouldn’t have noticed. Terrible service!! The stylist name is Stephanie.
Always a great experience. Stephanie is the best. They have all the usual covid protocols in place and I felt safe throughout.
My husband and both of my sons get their hair cut at 18|8. Their hair always looks perfect and the staff is always nice and accommodating. My husband used to always opt for bargain hair cuts but after going to 18|8 he won’t go anywhere else for a haircut!Thanks for always giving us a great experience.
Sonia gave my son the best cut ever! We have been here before and was extremely happy, but Sonias’ work was supreme! She really didn’t need any direction, and didn’t cut his hair too short, which I hate when that happens! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful:) If you need to send a man in your life (in my case, it was my son) to get pampered, send them to 18/8, and send them to Sonia :)
Just tried 18/8 for the first time, because my barber just moved out of the country. I looked at the previous reviews and decided to book with Sonia online. Having the same barber for 15 years, I was a little nervous going to someone else, but as Sonia started asking questions and showing interest, I knew I was in the right chair. Being from Manhattan, she’s straight forward, but in a very relatable way. Also, great conversation of her experiences in the big city. Sonia knows her stuff! Defiantly try her out. I will be back again.
Sonia gave a great cut with little direction. She had been doing hair for 16 years and it shows. She gave me great recommendations for styling, and my wife says I look younger, so this is a win for me. Atmosphere of the salon was great. Sonias’ scalp massage and hot towel at the end, is awesome! Best service and cut in Atlanta.
Consistently a great haircut and experience. Thanks for all you do, Stephanie!
Sonia is Awesome! I decided to try her for the first time, after reading the reviews. She has a great personality, she tells it like it is, being from New York, and is super funny. The most important attribute she has though, is being a fantastic stylist. I highly recommend Sonia if you want to look your best.
I have been coming here since it opened. The service and quality has never been below 5 stars. Shannon is my favorite stylist, but if she is unavailable I still trust my hair to any staff member at 18/8. They are all professional and talented. Best men’s salon in buckhead by far.
Sonia did a great job cutting my hair and gave great recommendations for my hairstyle and grooming. Definitely will be coming back to see her and Torrance did master work on my beard line up. Love the environment and the cuts/trims were done in a timely manner.
Excellent hair cut. Very pricey. However, under Covid19 the establishment gets a 10 out of 10 (being the highest standard) for exceeding the standard.
First time customer today, incredible experience. Ive had the same haircut for too long and wanted to try something different from a professional stylist who could take the time to listen to my concerns and put together a new look. Done masterfully by Donna, who kept me hydrated (they have beer, wine, coke, water etc...) and comfortable the whole time. Best experience at a barber shop I have ever had. It is also nice to see the owner of a small business as well, which I did. Keep it up and thank you! See you soon - Andrew M.
I am by no means a egotistical guy who cares about his looks but who cuts your hair isnt something you should trust to just anyone. Who wants a bad haircut? Nobody. Who do I trust? Morgan. Morgan works for 18/8 in Brookhaven. Im assuming the owners know how much of a treasure they have.It is more like an experience with Morgan than just a haircut. She is personable and genuine. You can get lost in a conversation with her and not worry what she is doing. Mainly because she does know what she is doing. I have no worries with her. She genuinely cares how her clients look. I have been lucky to find her. 5 stars for Morgan and 18/8 who when I walked in one day booked me with her. I wouldnt go to someone else now.
Stephanie always takes great care of me when I see her for a coloring service. She listens very well to my concerns, keeps records of the service details, and goes the extra mile to assure that I am satisfied with the results. In addition, this salon does a great job at presenting an atmosphere and décor that is catered to the male population. You’ll definitely not feel out of place here if you’re a dude.
Update: How do you respond to a bad review and ask for a good review??? If I had a good experience maybe I would have come back more often considering I get a haircut every 2 weeks. Doesn’t make sense to me. Sadly disappointing experience. $27 for a buzz cut with no shampoo. They barely knew how to use clippers. Didn’t use a tissue paper between my neck and the apron. Hair all over my collar and down my back. This place is overrated. Roosters is much better! Felt like great clips. And they ask for a good review.
Very professional environment as well as haircut. If you are looking for a good place to get a haircut, this is definitely it. 10/10 would recommend!
I just moved to the area and was looking for a good barber/salon. Figured I’d give this place a try and I couldn’t be happier. I just made a blind appointment and got Kody. She was great, cut my hair exactly how I wanted it and was extremely nice. They really take care of you here. They also have beer! Will definitely go back!
Professional service, very friendly staff, upscale location. My stylist is Shannon and she is nothing but the best. She makes you feel right at home. Always knowing where the conversation left off. Not only that she does exceptional work with styling hair. I highly recommend trying this place out. You will not regret it.
Went to get a walk in haircut last minute before New Years, arrived 35 minutes before closing time and the receptionist said they wouldn’t be able to seat me. They had stylists available because they asked what service I need and once she realized I needed a haircut proceeded to tell me they close at 6pm when it is 5:25PM— Rather than provide excellent customer service to a loyal patron; they lost a customer.
Very safe experience.
Came here for a Spa Day for all of my guy friends. Ended up showing up a little late, which we apologized for. Rather than greeting us politely, Tim from management kept bringing up money we owed him. Service ended up being great, but due to the rudeness of Tim we will never come back. I paid the entire balance in full and everyone was able to serviced. We actually left early too so our being late should not have had any effect on the salon.Update: Tim texted us and asked us to take down the reviews in a very rude manner. We ended up blocking his number due to nature of his harassment.
Best haircut in town and an overall great experience. Always look forward to going there each month. I would highly recommend this place.
My fiancé sees Stephanie Livingston for his hair cuts here and she is amazing!! He first went to her before our engagement photoshoot and his hair turned out amazing in all of our photos thanks to her. He just went back today for another haircut and she did a wonderful job again, we will definitely recommend her to friends and family!
Sonia was excellent. She was very attentive to my requests. Sonia gave me the best haircut ever!!
My boyfriend loves this place and always looks so good after! I just got him a membership card for christmas. Everyone there is so sweet, especially the owners :)
Wow. What a delightful & unexpected pleasure. My wife bought me a package at this salon for Fathers Day - and INSISTED I go. Ive never done anything like this before. Man... have I been missing out. My Barber (Zac) was absolutely impressive. He actually listened to me...listened to my ideas...and worked with me. That alone is a first. Working in tandem was another member of the staff (Amanda) who really made me feel special. Yep - Im ruined. I seriously NEVER considered going here. I guess I never felt that a guy should have (could have) such an experience. Heres a shout-out to the owners... WELL DONE. Keep doing what youre doing....and, thank you.
Got my haircut there, and I was pretty nervous going in, because I have been growing out my hair for the past couple years but I’ve been ready to change it up. I was honestly impressed from when i walked in, with reception, through the haircut with Brandon, (who did an awesome job, couldn’t be happier with my hair) and the very relaxing, very clean straight razor shave done by Kody. Everyone was very personable and the complimentary drinks were a nice touch to calm my nerves.
Its nice and all, very official. Lovely people who I’m sure are better than most if not all other options around here, but a miscommunication on a $60 haircut that ends up making me look effectively stupid isnt too nice. Lucky enough Mr. Hat invented the hat.
I came here after seeing the rave reviews but Im not sure how it has such high ratings. Despite showing a picture of how I like my hair cut- a haircut that Ive had plenty of stylists cut before - it somehow ended up way too short. To give you an idea of just how bad it was, Ive literally had friends and family ask me where I got it cut only to tell me not to go back and thank me for the heads up as to where not to go themselves. That being said the staff was nice, they offer you a beverage when you go in, and they upgraded me to the executive for free since it was my first time - but all of those things dont justify the $48 I paid for a bad haircut.
Stephanie is an outstanding cosmetologist and an excellent stylist. Incredible experience. Beyond satisfied! Worth every penny. Thank you!
Hair type: Thick, wavy, ignores most hair products.Ive never once in my life really enjoyed a hairstyle, but Id never really been to a higher-end place as well. I decided to give 18 8 (ask them why their establishment this, its actually awesome) a chance, and I feel like its one of the best decisions of my life. Keith did my hair, and hes a master. Hes not just good, but hes the best stylist to ever get near my hair. Keith didnt try to work against my hair, but he also did what I wanted. Something professional, modern but not too out there. I will be coming to him once a month now.The atmosphere is amazing, the area is amazing, and guys-- know that my recommendation is essentially a guarantee. Go. Like. Now. JUST STOP READING AND GO GET A COOL HAIRCUT.
Go here if you want to look good, enough said. Its better here than anywhere within 10 miles
Cant recommend Ben enough. Made me look great and was very respectful of the requirements during CV19.
Walking in I felt like it was a gamble - Ive been burned by an upscale mens salon before, and I am not the type of person who gets excited about fancy. They took my jacket and offered me a beer, then gave me a nice shampoo and rinse. My stylist then made several suggestions to change my hairstyle to better fit my face, she showed me that bringing my hair forward instead of back looked way better, and she made it easier to manage, as I have very thick and wavy hair. She showed me some hair product that would manage my stubborn hair better than the stuff I had been using... I hate gels... and it was no pressure or car salesman act, just a professional trying to help me accomplish the look I was going for. Im very happy with my new haircut - I even got a coupon for 20% off my next visit. Everything said and done it was about $65.00, completely worth it. Without buying anything extra you can get out of there for around $40-$50 im sure. Highly Recommended.
Ben Brady is excellent at what he does! I have never experienced the true pleasure of a mens salon and what it has to offer. Ben has the highest standards and best skills that I have ever had the privilege of experiencing from the hair cut to the color. He is a true hair stylist with the best interest of his clients in mind. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone and to ask for Ben!!
We won’t go anywhere else. Amanda is absolutely magic. She cuts my 4yo’s hair and, really, is so great. She is patient and kind. He somehow follows her instructions, so that’s magic in itself and she also does a fabulous job with his hair. Everyone there is nice and professional. We initially went in after another barbershop messed my son’s hair up (the girl who messed it up actually suggested we have 18|8 fix it). Amanda squeezed my son in and did a great job recovering it. My husband freaked when he saw the other shop’s initial cut, but was so pleased to see the end result after 18|8 fixed it. We’ve been back since and it’s been nothing but a pleasure. No one else will be touching his hair! 10/10 reccommend to any male who’s looking for a high end professional salon. It’s worth the drive and certainly worth the money.
They know how to do it! Ben is the best. He’s friendly, talented, and attentive to detail. I wouldn’t trust my locks with anybody else.
Always have a great experience and haircut at 18|8. Even when Im disorganized or mix up an appointment time, they have accommodated me. Best in Atlanta!
I enjoy my experience each time. The prices are definitely reasonable and your stylist will educate you on keeping your hair healthy! I definitely recommend!
Went in for the first time this last Friday. It had been almost 2 years since my last haircut, so I was a bit apprehensive walking in. Morgan made me feel right at home immediately. I deferred to her opinion throughout the cut and she sent me out looking awesome! Everyone I spoke to was very cordial. Awesome experience and surprisingly relaxing! Thanks yall.
It’s a pleasure to come to work everyday ! My colleagues and the clients are beyond exceptional. Joyous!
My son had a haircut with Kody and it looks great. She was patient with him and got him to sit still the entire time.I had a cleanup with her and she did a great job. Very efficient and it looks great.She also did a straight razor shave and it was very relaxing. She is very skilled and it was a great experience.Go see Kody!
Great location and staff is awesome too! They listen to what your looking for and make great suggestions. You will truly enjoy the experience!
Great location and service. Got my hair cut in the morning but Kendra and then was able to swing by Costco to pick up a few things. I know the haircut must have been good because I was getting approached by Grandmothers trying to set me up with their granddaughters
Best straight razor shave in Atlanta! Thank you Kody! You are the best!
Headed here after a recommendation from a friend. Salon was well put together and clean. The whole crew were extremely friendly and I got on with them really well. Unfortunately, despite my clear instructions, the barber cut my hair too short. I even asked for a barber with long hair so he was familiar with longer hair and wasnt going to shave it off as has been my experience in most American barber shops. The hair is short in sections on the side and top of my head so it naturally sticks up. Overall a $45 haircut (inc tip) which now I have to wait for a month before it is acceptable. The receptionist told me that Id also get a neck massage and eyebrows cleaned up for the price I was paying but that never happened. The barber was a decent guy and I feel bad writing a bad review but I suppose thats the way it is when I now have to deal with a bad haircut.
Stephanie has magic hands... I always leave extremely satisfied with the experience and the haircut
18/8 is awesome. My stylist, Morgan, does a great job and I enjoy my time at 18/8!
Berto cut my hair this evening and he was the best.He was professional and delivered above and beyond.I will come back and bring my referrals.Thank you
First time here. Awesome place. Relaxing environment. Morgan was great. Listened to how I wanted my hair cut and did a great job. Real professional. Everyone was really nice. I will definitely be back.
I love this place! John and Kendra are absolutely wonderful. I met an owner and she takes a lot of pride in how they treat their clients.I drive about 40 minutes from my shop to get my hair cut by them.
Been going to Brandon since before this location. Both him and Ben are top notch!
Stephanie is the best! Always love my hair when I leave!
Ben is the best.
Ben was attentive and friendly, and the haircut turned out great. Definitely going back.
Kody! She is gentle yet precise. She is a lovely person and very professional. She did a great job. Thank you Kody! :)
