What Makes a Great Barbershop in Amsterdam?

Amsterdam is home to dozens of barbershops, but finding the right one can be overwhelming — especially if you're new to the city or just visiting. Whether you're a local, an expat, or a tourist, here's what to look for when choosing a barber in Amsterdam Centrum.

1. Google Reviews Don't Lie

The first thing most people check is the Google rating. A barbershop with a 4.8+ rating and hundreds of reviews is a solid bet. Look for consistency — one great review doesn't matter if the next ten are mediocre.

At Porem Barbershop, we're proud of our 4.9-star rating with over 720 reviews. That consistency comes from our team of 9 expert barbers who deliver the same quality every single time.

2. Location Matters

Amsterdam Centrum has barbershops scattered across neighborhoods — from the Jordaan to the Red Light District to Dam Square. Pick one that's convenient for your routine. If you work near Dam Square or live in the Jordaan, you want a barber you can visit during lunch or after work without crossing the city.

Porem has two locations in Amsterdam Centrum: one in the Jordaan (Nieuwe Willemsstraat 14) and one near Dam Square (Raadhuisstraat 12). Both are open 7 days a week, 10:00–19:00.

3. Transparent Pricing

A good barbershop in Amsterdam should list their prices clearly. Nobody likes surprises when the bill comes. Typical Amsterdam prices range from €30–50 for a haircut and €55–70 for a combo (haircut + beard trim).

4. The Vibe

This is subjective but important. Some barbershops go for a luxury spa feel, others for a no-nonsense quick-cut approach. The best ones make you feel welcome the moment you walk in — good music, a drink offered, and a barber who actually listens to what you want.

5. Specialization

Not all barbers are the same. Some excel at skin fades, others at scissor cuts or beard work. If you have a specific style in mind, check the barber's Instagram to see their work before booking.

Our Top Picks for Amsterdam Centrum

While we're biased (we think Porem is the best), here are the qualities that the top barbershops in Amsterdam share:

Online booking — no calling, no waiting
Experienced barbers — years of training, not months
Walk-ins welcome — flexibility matters
Good products — quality pomade and aftershave make a difference
Coffee or drinks — it's the Amsterdam way
