POTOMAC, Md., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hammer & Nails, a nationally recognized premium men's grooming brand, will celebrate the grand opening of its new Potomac location on October 23, 2026, with an open house scheduled for October 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The new shop will offer comprehensive men's grooming services, pairing premium barbering and specialized nail care with a relaxed, upscale atmosphere.

Located at 7735 Tuckerman Lane, Suite 650, in Cabin John Village, the new Hammer & Nails shop will offer haircuts, straight-razor shaves, beard and mustache grooming, face and scalp treatments, waxing, and manicures and pedicures to the Potomac community.

Founded in 2013 in West Hollywood, California, Hammer & Nails set out to make professional grooming and nail care a comfortable part of men's routines. The relaxed, upscale Hammer & Nails experience includes oversized leather chairs, individual televisions, noise-canceling headphones and a complimentary beverage. Hammer & Nails added full barbering services in 2018.

Hammer & Nails Potomac will offer Classic, Signature and Luxe memberships, with Founding Memberships now available starting at $110 per month for two Classic services. Depending on their membership tier, Founding Members also receive a one-time complimentary Signature or Luxe service, redeemable after their first membership payment.

"We want men to look forward to taking care of themselves," said Melissa Blanken, who co-owns the Hammer & Nails Potomac location with her husband and business partner, Bradley Blanken. "From expert haircuts and shaves to manicures, pedicures, and facial treatments, our goal is to create a welcoming space where men can relax, recharge, and invest in themselves. We are excited to bring that experience to Cabin John Village and become part of people's regular routines."

"A grooming routine should work with your life," said Bradley Blanken. "Whether you're stopping in for a beard trim or making time for a haircut and pedicure, we want you to leave feeling good and looking forward to your next visit."

The Potomac opening marks the Blankens' second Hammer & Nails location in Montgomery County, following the opening of their Bethesda shop on Woodmont Avenue in August 2026. Hammer & Nails Potomac will be located at 7735 Tuckerman Lane, Suite 650, Potomac, MD 20854.

Can I book a same-day appointment for a men's haircut or shave in Maryland?

At Hammer & Nails locations in Bethesda and Potomac, clients can check appointment availability and book services online or by contacting the shop directly.
