Meet Our Barbers

Abdel El Bouzidi is the owner and founder of Porem Barbershop, bringing his passion for traditional barbering and modern men's grooming to the heart of Amsterdam.

Originally trained in Morocco, Abdel refined his craft in some of Casablanca's respected barbershops before bringing his experience and passion to Amsterdam. With a strong focus on precision, craftsmanship and personal service, he has built Porem into a barber shop where traditional techniques meet a modern, high-end experience.

Since 2024, Abdel has expanded Porem with a second location right in the centre of Amsterdam, just behind Dam Square. Located in one of the city's busiest and most iconic areas, the new location has become a destination for both locals and visitors looking for a quality haircut, beard trim or traditional shave.

Abdel specializes in sharp, stylish haircuts, precise beard trims and traditional hot towel shaves. His approach combines the rich heritage of Moroccan barbering with the precision and standards of contemporary men's grooming.

For Abdel, barbering is more than simply cutting hair. It is about craftsmanship, attention to detail and creating an experience where every client feels welcome and leaves looking their best.

Whether you visit Porem in the heart of Amsterdam or at our other location, you can expect the same passion, quality and personal service that Abdel has built the brand around.

Warren has been barbering for fourteen years, across a handful of countries around Europe, picking up techniques everywhere he worked before landing at Porem — where he now heads up the team.

His favourite work is done with scissors: natural, flowy shapes that work with how the hair falls rather than against it. He cuts in English, Irish and French, plus a little Dutch.

Outside the shop he spends most of his time reading sci-fi and collecting Hot Wheels.

Camilo started out at the Antonio Eloy barber school in Malaga, and has spent eight years behind the chair since — Malaga, Athens, and now Amsterdam.

He'll take on any kind of haircut, but he is happiest working with scissors on natural looks: shapes that suit the hair and grow out well. He works in Spanish, Greek and English.

Outside the shop it's sports, music and motorbikes — anything that burns gasoline.

Gennaro learned barbering in Naples, his hometown, at Haircut Andrea — then spent years in Amsterdam perfecting it.

Sixteen years in, he started his career in Italy before moving here, first at Calvetti Bulldog Barbershop and then at Kapp Salone Salvatore. For the past two and a half years he has been at Porem as a freelance barber.

He is confident with fades, beard grooming, curly hair, scissor work and classic cuts, and comfortable moving between styles — the aim is always the cut that suits the person in the chair, whatever they walk in asking for. He speaks Italian, English, Spanish and a little Dutch with his clients. Away from work it's family, friends, travelling and meeting new people.

Adonis trained in Crete, at the IEK MORFI KEPANSI hairdressing school in Heraklion — two years that started him off back in 2018.

From there he worked at Kaizen™ and then Mora Theory, both in Heraklion, spent a year at The Original Barbershop in Chania, and finished the 2025 summer season at G Vak in Mykonos before coming to Porem.

He cuts every hair type, curly or straight, and loves fading as much as he loves working with scissors. He speaks English and Greek. On his days off it's football, the gym or a run — he's into every kind of sport. The best part of the job, for him, is meeting new people every day: not just clients, but friends.
