Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Franchise Growth Systems is constantly adding new brands to our team of franchises. This month, we welcome Eighteen Eight. Welcome to Franchise Growth Systems!

Franchise Growth Systems has teamed up with 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons to expand its franchise opportunities throughout the United States. Franchise Growth Systems is offering single and regional development franchise opportunities for a recession-resistant hair care and grooming services concept that continues to see steady growth.

There’s a huge void in the salon industry that’s waiting to be filled…the perfect salon for successful men. 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons is the first national chain of Premium Men’s Salons. Almost a decade has been spent perfecting this model, and countless dollars have gone into fine-tuning the opportunity to the point it’s at today, ready to expand across the country.

18|8 Fine Men’s Salons is a company designed to capitalize on the lack of salons focused entirely on hair care and grooming services for successful men. Discerning men need a place of their own with experienced, skilled stylists who can discuss their hair needs – and allow them to unwind and take a much-needed break from the day-to-day routine.

The stylists and staff at 18|8 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, massages, and more. 18|8 is the reinvention of the barbershop, providing hair and grooming services in a relaxing environment focused on the unique needs of men.

18|8 Fine Men’s Salons’ 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. 

18/8 Fine Men's Hair Salons is operated by Mana Concepts, Inc., a California corporation. The core management team consists of the following individuals:

Ron Love, Founder / Chairman /CEO - British-born Ron Love has close to forty years experience in the salon industry. His hairstyling career began as an apprentice in London's Mayfair district at age 15. A stylist for many years, Mr. Love refined his creative talent and acquired the interpersonal skills that are a vital part of his business philosophy today. Mr. Love is a business builder known for his ability to develop positive corporate cultures and create profitable businesses.

For ten years he owned and managed two highly successful salons in South Africa that became the trendsetters for the region. He moved to the U.S. in 1981 and soon joined Carlton Hair International as a managing partner. Mr. Love's responsibilities grew with the company; he was promoted to Chief Operations Officer for the entire organization in 1993. During his tenure with the company, Mr. Love facilitated the growth of twenty-eight Carlton and Linear salons throughout Southern California and developed the Hair Health and Beauty salon concept. Opal Concepts acquired Carlton Hair International in 1999 and appointed Mr. Love as President of the José Eber Atelier salon chain where he worked until recently in order to focus his talents and energies on building Mana Concepts and the 18/8 chain of men's salons.

W. Scott Griffiths, Founder / President / COO - Mr. Griffiths has been building companies and successful brands for more than twenty years. As President of GO: Brand Engineering, a brand development and marketing firm based in Southern California, Mr. Griffiths manages and directs marketing and branding assignments for many Fortune 500 companies, as well as entrepreneurial and investment-backed companies. Examples include: Nokia, House of Blues, Boeing, The Anderson School at UCLA, Semester at Sea, Advanced Tissue Sciences (NouriCel), Avery Dennison, Bausch and Lomb, Crystal Cruises, and Opal Concepts (American Hair Force, José Eber Atelier, Carlton Hair International).

After attending Chapman University, Mr. Griffiths graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design, where he later served as President of the Alumni Board and on the Board of Trustees. He received his MBA from the UCLA Anderson School. Mr. Griffiths was chosen as an Entrepreneur of the Year in 1993 and is a member of the Harvard Business School Association of Orange County, where he helps direct the marketing segment of their annual Entrepreneurs Conference. He serves as marketing advisor to the UCLA Anderson Economic Forecast and teaches business courses at Art Center.
