The quick and dirty:…read more Jeroen is experienced and confident with his craft. He gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had in 25 minutes. You can tell he's familiar with a ton of different short haircutting techniques, and uses them well. He's also good with shape and framing your face. You'll feel at ease, because he's really good. He did a dry cut with shears, texturizing shears and point cutting. Neck shave. Product or oil applied afterward. He's easy to talk to, and quick. No reason to fear visiting a new barber anymore. Try Jeroen. He won't let you down. The details: Got to Amsterdam after letting my hair get a little too long before I left the states. I have a VERY hard time finding anyone to cut my hair properly. It's tricky. It used to be thick and curly with a weird, Eddie Munster (vampire) type hairline. Short, thick, curly hair is hard to cut in general, but now that I'm older, it's still thick and wavy in places and thinner in others, which makes it even tougher to solve. I read great reviews about this place, so I decided to go for it. Walk-ins are welcome, but he had someone with an appointment when I arrived, so I walked down the road to a laundrette, dropped off a bag and walked back. I sat right down and got to talking. Jeroen is easy to talk to. He's a nice guy that is lucky enough to have purchased his storefront, and he's been in the same place for decades. An excellent location. He mentioned his experience, but is very humble. We talked about what I wanted, and what I liked. He agreed for the most part, but felt strongly about cutting the front near my hairline a little differently. I went with his advice and he gave me a dry cut. I was surprised he didn't shampoo it first, so I asked why. He said my hair is short, and a wet cut would leave it too short to cut properly. He advised a dry cut. He began with shears and texturizing shears and had the sides perfectly cut and blended in the blink of an eye. You can tell he's experienced and confident with his hands. The fade (blending) from almost shaved into the longer hair on the sides and top of my head was perfect. He then point cut the top and texturized a bit in the thicker areas, adeptly avoiding the thinner ones. He did as good of a job as anyone I've seen in about 20-25 minutes. He applied some oil that smelled awesome (which I'm normally pretty selective about, but it smelled great), and shaved my neckline. If you're in Amsterdam and feel like a hair cut, there is no need for concern. Just go to Jeroen. You won't be disappointed.

If you're in Amsterdam and looking for a barbershop to get you cleaned up with a nice fade during…read moreyour travels, I highly recommend booking an appointment at District Barber with Geoffrey. It's easy to book an appointment online through their website. If you have short hair and a beard without a need for any styling/scissors, I recommend selecting the Buzz and Beard Trim (€55,00). You'll also get a heated towel treatment and razor to clean up your beard for a cleaner detail of your facial hair. I'm not sure if it's always available for customers, but I received a 10% discount on my haircut (€49,75) after booking and paying. During my time at District Barber, I had a great chat with Geoffrey, who listened to my request for a fade and to keep my lines natural. He also offered good recommendations for places to visit in and around Amsterdam. Since it was a week since my last haircut from my barber back home, Geoffrey could follow the fade lines from my last haircut without changing my fade/style. Geoffrey was detailed and took his time with the haircut, so expect to be in the chair for about an hour. Before Geoffrey was finished, he applied beard oil and brushed off any remaining hair before allowing me to see the final results. The fade was clean and well-blended. I was very pleased with the fade. Thanks again, Geoffrey! Don't forget to tip your barber for exceptional service. Safe travels!

He listened to my desire to reduce wild hair over my ears, trimmed the ponytail to reduce split ends and did a fade with my beard and hair. Very impressive creativity. The District Barber is in the middle of the Red Light District and close enough to coffee shops or pubs, but offer water, coffee, beer or wine as you enter.

After trying Kinky Kappers (attitude problem) once, going to Toni & Guy for about a year (good, but just not 'it'), I decided to give Mirror and Mirror as go. My sis in law recommended it, it is down the block from where I live, and about €20 cheaper than Toni and Guy. What could go wrong? Nothing. I made an appointment with Kirsten. Showed up, and left with one of the best hair cuts I have had in over two years. My take on hair is that when you get your hair done you shouldn't just like it, you should love it. A new haircut should emphasize your natural beauty, personality, and make you think, 'yes, this is me. and I am awesome.' Essentially, I haven't had that feeling in a while, but Kirsten did such an amazing job I left feeling like a million bucks. Plus, the shop itself is just cool, low key, nicely decorated. Like you feel you are at a friends apartment, not a hoity-toity place that is stiff. The music selection was also top notch, it's just a nice vibe being there. Kirsten and I exchanged notes on yoga studios in AMS. Alex, the other half of mirror mirror seems also equally cool. He was cutting a woman's hair and when she left I loved her hair, it looked great on her and she looked super hip. These are hair dresses that are very talented, listen to what you want and are looking for, have years of experience and believe in giving great haircuts without breaking the bank. I don't think I'll be going anywhere else to get my hair done in AMS, and that is really a relief!
