Hammer & Nails, the elevated grooming experience built for modern men, is expanding its national footprint with the opening of its newest location in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle neighborhood. Located at 2147 P Street NW, this shop marks the brand’s entrance into the D.C. market and the 55th franchise location in the U.S.

Owned by Melissa Kingston, an Army veteran, and her business partner Jeremy Crutcher, a Navy veteran, the Dupont Circle shop brings a fresh energy to the local grooming scene with full-service offerings in a stylish, design-forward environment built just for men.

“We’re excited to introduce a space that blends self-care, confidence, and comfort in the middle of one of the most dynamic cities in the country,” said Melissa Kingston, co-owner of Hammer & Nails Dupont Circle. “Washington, D.C. is a place where modern men show up with intention and purpose, and Hammer & Nails gives them the tools to do that, so they feel good and look good from head to toe.”

To celebrate its grand opening, the Dupont Circle shop will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony in partnership with the DC Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. The community is invited to attend and enjoy complimentary refreshments.

The new shop will offer precision haircuts, beard grooming, classic hand and foot care, and the brand’s signature whiskey-infused foot treatment, all in a masculine setting where self-care is embraced, not stigmatized. Services are available a la carte or through a membership model designed for recurring wellness and grooming maintenance.

“Dupont is the perfect place to establish a Hammer & Nails men’s grooming shop,” added Jeremy Crutcher, co-owner. “It’s vibrant, fast-paced, and full of people who appreciate high-quality service and community. We’re proud to be part of this brand and can’t wait to help men elevate their self-care.”

Hammer & Nails continues to grow rapidly, with a goal of reaching 100 locations nationwide by the end of 2026. Founded in 2016, the brand is on a mission to redefine men’s grooming by offering elevated services and intentional design at every touchpoint, from the shop environment to the curated beverage menu.

The Dupont Circle shop, located at 2147 P St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20037, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit hammerandnailsDupontcircle.com, call 771-210-2000, or follow on Facebook and Instagram.
