I had the Brazilian done and I did not feel a thing, nor did I feel weird (like I sometimes do when I'm getting a Brazilian). It was quick, easy and painless, and the owner made me feel really welcome. On top of everything, after my extensive research, this place turned out to be the cheapest in central Amsterdam too! Highly, highly recommended!

Just chose this salon because it was 1st on Yelp list and closest to my hotel. Not sure why - and…read morewalked past several dozen more. They took my late appointment, which was very nice and accommodating (6:30 pm). When I showed up I had to ring the bell because the door was locked. I was not taken back for an additional 15-20 minutes (she was running late from prior appointment). Thank goodness I only booked a half leg wax. Was a bit grossed out that she used a metal spreader (looks like a cake spreader) for my legs and kept reusing in the wax. Unsure why as there were wood sticks next to the wax. Gross but I'm hoping it was my fresh wax and not used again. Certainly wouldn't have tolerated that for a bikini or other wax. The ladies were nice. The hygiene is just not up to my standards.

I stopped in really quickly because I needed some Aveda hair products. The saleswoman was really…read morenice. She walked me quickly through what was available in the size bottle I wanted, introduced me to a new shampoo, rung my order and let me leave. Way cooler than the Aveda salon in Bellevue, Washingon, USA where they refused to sell me shampoo with a long discussion about my "hair goals" and a complimentary creepy hand massage.

So, I made an appointment over the phone with a top stylist. when I arrived, tea was offered to me and I didnt have to wait long at all. There were not many other clients in the place (but to be fair, I went on a monday afternoon). The stylist I had was very good and new her job very well. She advised me well with what I wanted and I am super happy with the result. As it was my first time in that place, to promote their spa downstairs, they offered me a free of treatment (facial, manicure, foot massage) of 30 min. What I appreciated, is that it wasnt for the next time I come, but it was immediate after my haircut. I chose a manicure and I am ok with the result. The room is not as nice as upstairs. Its definitely not the best manicure I ever had, but it was a nice gesture and of course, in 30 min, not everything can be done. Finally, as I checked in on foursquare, I got a free bottle of shampoo ! What a nice afternoon full of pampering! I think I will return for my next haircut as also, the prices are very reasonable.

I've been here twice and tomorrow, I will be officially checking in. I was recommended to visit by…read morea fellow yelper and since then, I have not looked back. Having come all the way from Sydney, Australia - where getting a great pedi is easy and safe, here in Amsterdam? It's harder to find. Even one of the other high end stores do not offer what these lovely ladies here at Soap offer. Quality products. Incredible service. AND Clean tools. When it comes to nail health- THIS, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. I've been to two different locations, here at the Spuistraat (it's local to my workplace so lunch-time pedis are a go-er) and also to the Van Baerlestraat. The Spuistraat store is so lovely, definitely worth a visit if you're looking to treat yourself. Make sure to BYO your own nail colour because the selection they have is limited unless you buy one in-store. This is the only quibble I have, considering yes, you already pay a fair price, surely nail colours should be provided too? But never fear, nail polish addict that I am, I have plenty of my own! Another bonus, Soap is open for about a gazillion hours in Amsterdam. Monday through to Sunday and working hours too, not the crappy 11-5 whereasonlyifyou'realadyofleisureyoucanmakeit! Visit here. It's worth it. Your nails are worth it.

Spui is open Sundays, which is a plus. Have tried other places, but haven't found the same quality for bikini/Brazilian services. The mani-pedicure services are a bit too expensive for what you get. But my nails did look lovely afterwards.

It wasn't cheap at 39 euros, but that seems to be the usual rate in Amsterdam since women don't get weekly manicures.

The hairdresser (Ed) chopped her hair up to below her shoulders after agreeing with her that he wouldn't. He even went on to express how, "If a client doesn't like the haircuts he gives them, it's just not for them.." etc. As a professional hairdresser, you should always please and leave your customers satisfied.

I figured I'd submit a review for this place having been here three times already and I know how…read moredire the situation is in Amsterdam finding quality hair stylists -- especially for my fellow men out there. This place is very gezellig -- part record store, part hair salon. The staff here are fully English-speaking and if you're lucky, both of you will be singing along to the wicked tunes playing in the background. They're also young but that's not to say they're not experienced. They're actually very professional and will do what you ask if you're very particular about your hair. If you are feeling lucky and ask for their opinion, they will style your hair in a way that suits your face and head. I'd say their styles are also a bit edgy and hip (you're in a record store/hair salon after all!). Overall I've been satisfied with my cut every time I've been here. They're even open late on some days!
