My husband was hesitant to go here, because he felt like white Dutch people don't go to kapsalons…read more He thought he would be shunned and rejected because he wasn't part of the kapsalon ethnic community. Thanks to the previous (white guy) reviewer, he was willing to give them a try, and was glad he did.
You don't need an appointment to get a haircut, you can just walk in any time. The price is great, 12 euros for a men's cut, which is cheaper than the local hairdressing school which charges 16 euros for a haircut done by a student. They're quick here, just snip-snip, a cup of tea, and you're done. And best of all the owner is super welcoming and nice. My husband didn't feel shunned at all.
The downsides are that the decor is a bit run-down, but also a bit quirky. There are lots of religious posters on the walls interspersed with 'sexy hairdresser' posters consisting of fully-clothed pretty women making kissy faces at the camera. It's at least a bit of a unique cultural experience in that respect.
If all you want is a fast haircut without having to plan ahead and make appointments, then this is a great place to go. If you need hipster points for drinking scotch while getting your haircut by a man with a handlebar mustache, you're better off going to a fancy expensive place in the center of town.
