Men's Haircut Trends 2026: What's Hot in Amsterdam

Men's Haircut Trends 2026
Every year brings new styles — and 2026 is no exception. At Porem Barbershop in Amsterdam, we see hundreds of clients every week, so we have a front-row seat to what's trending. Here are the top men's haircut trends we're seeing right now.
1. The Textured Crop
Still going strong from previous years, the textured crop remains the most requested style in Amsterdam. Short on the sides with a choppy, textured top that's easy to style. Works with almost every face shape and hair type.
How to ask for it: "Textured crop with a mid fade on the sides."
2. The Modern Buzz Cut
The buzz cut is having a major comeback, but with a twist. Think a #2 or #3 guard on top with a skin fade on the sides and a sharp line-up. It's the ultimate low-maintenance style that looks clean and intentional.
How to ask for it: "Buzz cut with a skin fade and sharp edges."
3. Longer on Top, Tight on Sides
The classic contrast between longer hair on top and tight sides is evolving. We're seeing more clients go for 3–4 inches on top with a low taper fade. The extra length allows for more styling options — slick back, textured, or natural flow.
How to ask for it: "Keep the length on top, low taper on the sides."
4. The Gentleman's Cut
Clean, professional, timeless. A side part with medium length, tapered sides, and a natural finish. This has always been popular in Amsterdam's business districts, and 2026 is no different.
How to ask for it: "Classic side part with a natural taper."
5. Beard + Haircut Combos
More guys than ever are matching their haircut with a well-groomed beard. The combo of a skin fade with a shaped, lined-up beard is probably the most popular request we get at Porem. A hot towel beard trim takes it to the next level.
How to ask for it: "Haircut and beard trim combo — I want them to match."
