Eleven Barbers. Nine Languages.

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.

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.

Sotos started cutting at fourteen, learning from his mother and working the rest out for himself. At eighteen he went to barber school, and he has kept adding to it since — seminars, year after year.

Sixteen years on, most of them at Hairmides coiffure, the family business, before he came to Porem.

He is at his best on fades, beard work, scissor cuts and classic haircuts. He cuts in English and Greek. Outside the shop it's football and good food.

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.

Stavros learned to cut hair at IEK AKMI in Athens, then sharpened it across barbershops and salons in Athens and London, with a run of professional seminars along the way.

Fourteen years in, he started out at Leo Bazimas Hair Salon and 1900 The Barber Shop in Kolonaki, spent time at Sina Barbershop in London, and then moved to Amsterdam to join Porem.

He specialises in skin fades, classic and modern men's cuts, beard trimming, line-ups and traditional face and head shaves — a background in both hairdressing and barbering that lets him work confidently with any hair type. He cuts in English and Greek. Outside the shop he plays football, travels, and is always after new places and fresh inspiration.

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.
